So we went back and Brandon recognized us! Had another amazing experience; - when has someone asked how you are doing from behind the counter? "How is the pizza Puff?" damn good I said! - Does that happen at other establishments? Service was over the top. - And it wasn't a floook, the wings were again meaty, not greasy, and the outside batter had a nice crisp to it and so flavorful, that's definitely special, I am a confirmed wing-loving-woman. - I Got to try the pizza Puff, and surprise, they come in 3 filling options, Beef, Pork, Spinach( vegetarian). Basically, it's a "Pizza Pocket"...yuummm. - Delicious!! 4 thumbs up, ok that's 4 Yelp Stars... - Hubby got the Catfish again, he ate it so fast,and didn't share,I never saw it much less was able to snap a pic of it. Needless to say, he liked it a lot. 4 Thumbs up. - - Now I have to go back to try the Pork & Beef Pizza Puffs!!! - While there, many take out orders flowed thru, obvious repeat customers. - And several walk ins were; like us greeted by name, more repeat customers coming back for the best darn/damn chicken, and we know why. - If you find yourself nearby, check it out. I'm so glad Maddy organized the Yelp Experience there back in February. read more

Best Damn Chicken - cute Table Talker - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chatsworth, California

Had to come to the place whose name dares you to come in and try. Strange part of town in a dinky strip mall. Had the deluxe chicken sandwich combo and when I ordered it the guy said 10-15 minutes which tells me it's freshly prepared. It was a really good sandwich better than chick fil-a. Portion was on the small side but it was tasty with a price you'd pay at fast food chicken places with all their processed and engineered food. read more

At first thought, to call an eatery, "Best Damn Chicken", could be considered pompous, if not presumptuous, at best. So I had to try it out, to see what it was all about, and if their claim was indeed, warranted. Especially, if you think of it, in the context of the vast sea of competing chicken places, in the SFV and LA areas. Can they produce the best chicken that I have ever had? Read on to find out. This establishment is located in Chatsworth, specializing in fried Chicken and fried Catfish. I got the Gran chicken wing four piece combo to go. It comes with coleslaw, and french fries (my choice) or you can have veg sticks (next time). When I was driving home with the package, the aroma was distracting and intoxicating. I wanted to actually stop by the side of the road, to chomp on it, but it took a lot of strength to resist. Instead, I had their fries while driving, which were super. So what about, the main attraction, which was the chicken? It was spectacular. Deep fried, but not oily, and not the usual over battered crispy coating. Instead, this formula used a mix of cornstarch, flour, and something more secret, to deliver a savory and smooth even coating that had a unique crunch and bite. The chicken meat in all the four pieces was tender and succulent. It was truly exceptional. The wings themselves, were not too big not too small just the perfect size to hug the bone and harness flavor. Easily can be, the "best damn chicken" wings I have had. Wow. Thank you for that and for the high class carry out customer service. read more

The fried fish. Be still my beating heart! This place is such a hidden gem. Some grade A soul food. It's a casual spot, with super friendly service. I was so surprised to see they had kool-aid. It took me back to childhood! I had the blue flavor and it was so refreshing, not too sweet actually! I ordered some wings with the hot sauce on the side and boy was it spicy! Definitely a hit if you are a spicy food fan. I got an order of the banana pudding for dessert and I thought it was incredible. I loved the soft cookies on top. Overall, a super heavy meal, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely recommend! read more

Inside this plaza is a place with some of the best damn chickennn! I got 2 wings which were super yummy and my favorite part. The chicken was juicy and the breading was perfect. I got the classic sauce, but next time I'll get ranch. The classic sauce was a little too sweet for me. The fries were ok, not much seasoning on them. I got a red kool aid which was also pretty yummy if you're craving kool aid. The food took maybe only 15 min which was super quick. The service was great !! read more

Finally had the opportunity to check out Best Damn Chicken in Chatsworth and it was definitely top-notch. Chicago Family-owned and operated, BDC brings the flavors and the fixin's. Located in a small, packed strip mall, the parking can be a bit of a challenge, but once you navigate inside, you'll be met with a loud, boisterous, "DAAAAMMMMNN...YOU HUNGRY?!" Why, yes...I am. Simple menu loaded with lots of delicious Southern treats including fried chicken, fried catfish, banana pudding among others. My girlfriend and I decided to share our orders of a 6-piece GRAN Wings and a 3-piece GRANDMA Catfish, served up with fries, coleslaw and banana pudding. My girlfriend also went for the blue Koolaid DRANK. We also got choices of various dipping sauces, BBQ, Mild, etc. Service was efficient and friendly. When our order was brought to our table, some sauces accidentally dropped on the floor, spilling some on my shoes. The gentleman was very apologetic and even offered us an additional banana pudding to take with us. I appreciated the hospitality and the kind gesture. The food itself was amazing. The chicken and catfish were fried perfectly. Not too crispy and not underdone. The seasoning is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Incredible flavor dressing some of the most delicious and tender fish and chicken around. I was definitely craving more! The fries and slaw were also on point. The Banana Pudding is also OUTSTANDING! Smooth, creamy, homemade goodness that left us wanting more. Which is a good thing, right? The Koolaid was sweet and delicious! The environment is relaxed. A few flat screen TVs showing sports and 90s Hip Hop, with some mellow beats pumping through the speakers. About a half dozen seating areas with chairs and booths to hold about 30-40 people on a packed day. Check out their midweek lunch specials as well for a great meal at an affordable price. Best Damn Chicken lived up to my expectations and beyond, with quality food, service and atmosphere. Forget KFC, the folks at BDC bring the Chicago heat and love to the San Fernando Valley. Check them out and support a great family-run business! read more

Tried the Kids Catfish Meal from here and it was so good! If you are a fan of Catfish I recommend you try their catfish here. It's seasoned really well! The bread is just white bread so there is nothing special about it. The fries were good and had a little seasoning. The catfish was the star of the show though! It came with a fruit juice and they gave me grape juice. I wish I asked them for a different flavor because I was not a fan of the juice flavor I got. They have a parking lot so no need to worry about parking. If they have a lot of to go orders or mobile orders, you might need to wait awhile for your food. Had to wait awhile for my food due to this The restaurant did not have many people inside so it was relaxing. Staff is nice and friendly. read more

I've already come to Best Damn Chicken twice and I can say without hesitation I will be back many many times. I had never had, let alone heard of 'Chicago style' chicken prior to visiting here. It's a fantastically flavorful, yet light breading. It has all the crunch you'd expect from fried chicken, but because it's so light, it's also not super oily. It almost feels like a 'healthy' fried chicken. I opted to get the sauce on the side so I could really experience the breading and I'm glad I did. I feel like the subtle seasonings would've gotten lost in their bold, flavorful sauce. The coleslaw that comes with the combo is very KFC-esque. It's up to your personal taste on if that's a good or bad thing (it's good in my opinion). Everything is incredibly fresh. You can tell all the chicken is made to order. It's piping hot when it comes out to the point where you really need to slow down just so you don't burn your mouth. Every time I've ordered, the food has been delivered by the chef as well which has added such a personal touch to the whole experience. I love it. The real star to me, however, is the banana pudding. I'm not going to lie. I'm not a huge banana pudding fan. But I have raved about it constantly since trying it the first time. It has a slight cheesecake texture to it and a bit of that artificial banana flavoring that I personally love. My only real complaint is that they don't have a large size. Best Damn Chicken is really amazing chicken. It's absolutely worth a trip and dealing with a small parking lot. I guarantee you won't regret it. read more

The Best Damn Chicken really is the best damn chicken! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was top-tier -- friendly, welcoming, and on point the entire time. The wings were perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor in every single bite. The fries were hot and fresh, the coleslaw was creamy and refreshing, and the Kool-Aid was the perfect sweet finish to the meal. and don't forget the banana pudding. OMG! Everything was delicious and the vibe was great. I'll definitely be back -- highly recommend! read more

Craving fried chicken, I found Best Damn Chicken on Yelp and decided to give it a try -as it rates so highly on Yelp. I ordered the 6 piece chicken wing combo (Gran) $17.99 and it comes with fries, bread and coleslaw. Such a deal for full chicken wings and sides. Seasoned shoestring fries and coleslaw were amazing. Now the chicken, you got to try it yourself -cause it's crispy, moist and has hints of lemon and pepper seasoning (lmk if you taste something else, lol). All very tasty. Choice of side dipping sauce -I got buffalo, but TBH doesn't needs the side sauce. Made fresh to order, so keep in mind the wait, but I didn't mind. Inside seating with a couple TV's -one of them had music videos, setting the vibe and it had 1 customer grooving. Service at the counter was nice and loved her warm farewell -with saying, "have the best damn day!" Lol, I did and your chicken added to living it. Small free parking lot, located on a corner strip mall -don't be sketched by the strip club on the same street but couple blocks away. read more

Just picked up and finished dinner from here. I was waiting for the opportune time given we live about 2 miles away and drive by about 2-3 times a week. Are the reviewers and myself eating at the same place and food? Honestly, this is a 2.5 to 3. We ordered the fried catfish with fries, 6pc chicken wings w/veggie sticks, and banana pudding. Fried catfish was the best thing we ordered, but came with packaged tartar sauce, like the one you get from the elementary school cafeteria. Coleslaw was very wet, and tasted like bagged coleslaw you could get from smart & final for the company picnic. Fries were whatever. Chicken, meh... Not very much lemon pepper seasoning so if you don't want sauce ask for extra lemon pepper. I would have liked the chicken to be much more crispy and have more crunch but was a little let down on that part. The mild hot sauce tasted like ketchup with a dab of some kind of chili sauce, I can't quite put my finger on it. The biggest turn off was the slice of wonderbread that came with the meal. Honestly not even worth including it at all. And to charge $1.15 for an extra slice is diabolical. Service was generally good. Employee was nice and prompt when I arrived. Food was finished earlier than the estimated time but was also just warm by the time I got it home. Banana pudding was okay. Honestly tastes like banana jello pudding with Nilla wafers in it. For a whopping price tag of $47. This will be my first and last time eating here. I wish their business all the best, I hope the reviewers can be more honest. If you're going to have it in the name. You better live up to it! And unfortunately it doesn't. read more

I was craving some fried stuff and came to try this place out. It's kind of hilarious that the guy at the counter greeted everyone with a 'Damn, you must be hungry'. They were a little backed up so the food took a little longer to come out, but I think it was well worth it. We got the fried catfish and chicken wings. I typically use fried fish as my barometer for how good a place is, and they did not disappoint! I guess because it's a hot chicken style, it came with options of hot sauces rather than tartar sauce, and on a bed of a slice of bread, but I didn't mind. Their hot sauce is about as spicy as franks red hot (or maybe it was franks?), so nothing crazy there. The fried fish itself was more on the softer side of crispy, but the fish inside was great, not overdone at all! Also no complaints about serving size on the wings, even though it was only 4 of them. Definitely a great experience and will be glad to come back. read more

Best Damn Chicken - Fried catfish and wings (both regular size) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chatsworth, California

Family saw this restaurant on the Black in the Valley FB page. Came on a Monday during lunch. Corner strip mall with some parking. Restaurant clean inside and out. Just opened 9/25/25. I was greeted with their "special greeting". The owner was friendly and helpful with helping me decide what to order. We shared: "Grandma" (catfish) 3 pieces, fries, coleslaw & 1 slice of white bread and "Li'l Mama" 2 chicken wings, fries, coleslaw, bread and a juice box. You are able select a dipping sauce to go with each order. I selected Chicago. The fish was a tad bit salty. However, the fish was fresh, the the chicken was cooked well and the batter was crunchy and flavorful. Homemade coleslaw was enjoyable (and I'm not a big fan of coleslaw). The sauce has a great flavor. Give this young business a try! read more

This place is definitely worth a try. The chicken sandwich at this place is incredible. The breading adds an extra flavor to the chicken, which is already seasoned to perfection. I added the classic sauce to my chicken sandwich, and it made it that much better. It was already good, but it made it great. Fries were nice and fluffy on the inside. Service was fine and so was the ambiance. Will definitely come back with friends to grab a bite to eat. read more

Really good chicken. I was expecting like wing stop wings but they use the bigger ones. Really crispy and flavorful. They don't mix the sauce with the wings but merely have it on the side or they put some of the sauce on the wing. You can do both sauce on the side and on the wings. Coleslaw was good but wish it was more rather than a small little cup of it. The service was roughly like 10-20 minutes even when it was not that packed. I do want to try the other items on the menu. Service was nice and friendly. read more

What can I say besides this chicken was so so so gooooooooood. I got the 10 piece chicken wings and my bf got the large catfish. When I tell you both our meals were BOMB. Please go and try it. The reviews are true it is so delicious. Will be returning! On our way out we took a pizza puff to go and that too did not disappoint.

At first, I gave this place 5 stars because the food hit the spot -- flavor, vibes, everything on point. But a few hours later, my stomach started a live concert: growls, gas, and a fiery encore called "Heartburn." I wish Yelp let me edit my first review, because I definitely spoke too soon. The food tasted amazing going in... but let's just say the afterparty in my stomach was not invited. Still giving 3 stars because it was good -- just came with unexpected sound effects. read more

And the meals come with fries, coleslaw, and bread so you definitely get your money's worth. They have music playing and games in the tv. Gave me something to rock to while I waited for my food to about 15-20 minutes but they make everything fresh and to order so it came out piping hot.
