It's not the best fried chicken I've ever had, but it's pretty good. I think I would like it better if they had more than just wings and tenders. If they made thighs and drumsticks I think it would be tremendous. Everything is made to order, so getting your food takes a while. But atleast you know it's fresh. They were showing the movie Holes on TV which my teenage son was happy about. Big TV too, but hard to hear over the music. We also got the cookie dough pudding which tasted thick like it was homemade. I recommend it.

wings and 3 PIECE TENDER

Check this place out for some good real tasting chicken! My boyfriend and I tried almost everything on the menu LOL and everything was fire. We ordered the wings, fried chicken, the catfish and the beef nana's pizza puff (which was kind of like a homemade hot pocket) the sauces are also fire you can either have it on the chicken or on the side. Also be ready to get greeted with "DAMN YOU HUNGRY" and they were damn right. The hospitality is great and the service is even greater we will definitely be going back!

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!

Randomly found this location, very hidden area. The server was pleasant and kind. Ordered the banana pudding. Enjoyed it, will have to try the chicken another time.

2 wings

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 !!

Menu & desserts (don't sleep on the desserts!)

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.

Kids Catfish
Jordan S.

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.

banana pudding
Rachael R.

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!

3 BUFFALO 3 PIECE TENDER

This was the best damn chicken I've had in a long time. My boyfriend and I shared the 3 piece tenders and wings then went back and ordered the catfish and pizza. Everything was really good. Also the staff were so friendly and welcoming. It way first time going here and definitely not the last time :)

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.

Greatest chicken in Los Angeles my favorite place in valley. Love this place . I bring my family here

Inside

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!

Fried catfish and wings (both regular size)
Kendrick L.

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.

I always ask for just in case they do have oat milk so if you have any special requests, depending on how busy it is, might be better to talk to someone to order!!! The Tiger Tea was really delicious and was a good amount of sweet. The Mermaid drink was a fav from my group. I really liked the Milo and the Ube Milk teas. They were pretty quick with the orders so it's not too crowded inside of people waiting. It's very cozy inside and there's warm lighting and some books too for people to read.

His tone becomes unpleasant and abrasive anytime you ask a question, he lack accountability for his own mistakes, and he seems more focused and preoccupied on managing the line than anything else.
