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.

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 !!

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

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.

Waste of $15.99 plus tax. So disappointed we go about 1 to 2 times a month and have never had a bad meal. Was not sure if I was going to write Hooked off and not Post, but decided Management needs to be aware Never a problem with their grilled fish plates and have order thr fish and chips before and it was good.

Growing up I used to frequent the H. Salt in Hollywood - at the Vermont intersection. Looking back,…read moreit's probably been about 15 years since I've last had it. Somehow today, on this rainy day, nostalgia hit - and I really wanted some. I was happy to find this one on Saticoy. It honestly looked and smelled exactly how I remembered. It's not exactly a fancy place, but sometimes fancy is over rated --- we just want nice childhood memories. The woman at the register was very nice and helpful, and seemed to have a bunch of regulars. She knew half their orders before they walked in the door. I had a heart fish and chip meal, with a bottled soda for under $12. It was much needed.

Some places are here today and gone tomorrow. Others are here yesterday and get better with age…read morelike a fine wine. H. Salt Fish and Chips in Lake Balboa is like a favorite bottle that you don't want to open cause it's so so good nothing compares and yet you must open cause it's so so good nothing compares. They have the best. No I mean the best fish and chips. Not the crud you typically get with the oil that is so rancid you don't know what is worse the fish or oil. I am talking about sweet white fish ( possibly cod) that tastes so good and not fishy at all. The fries are even better than McDonalds so crispy on the outside yet tasty on the inside. Yum. The dips. Are yummy too. They prepare daily their own tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. When there they give you large containers of refrigerated tartar, cocktail , and ketchup. All the best of the best. Beverages are like a smorgasbord of choices including. With and without carbonation. Some dinners include the beverage. Price you won't believe how delicious and yet reasonably priced. Old school all the way. They want to make a little on a lot of people knowing that you will be back. Why- its so good, your body says so. But your mind will even trump that. So where can you find the best of the best two large pieces of fish filet, one really jumbo shrimp, a plate of French fries and sauces to your content for $8.95. (Captains Special). All fish two pieces with fries $6.95. All shrimp three pieces with fries $8.95. Drinks cans and bottles range from $1 to $1.89 ( bargain. I paid 2.99 at 7-11 for same Orange Crush but did get 400 useless points cause each time I update my phone I lose 4000 of them. Summed up. - don't eat fish well than have the best chicken strips. My dad complained. Why. He said that for $5.49 with fries. They gave enough for a family not one person. Their onion rings are yummy. Their Cole slaw they make and if still available at night is so good. So Fish and chips are the best and don't have to be smothered in that horrible hot sauce so you don't get food poisoning. Been their done that. Get really fine fish and chips plus more at a price that you and your family is comfortable with and your taste buds is ecstatic with. You will keep on coming here for years and years like I have, with my family and have continued since my mama passed three and a half years ago but I still feel her presence. With me when taking to go or dining in their quiet quaint dining room .The best is had at the best little fish joint in Lake Balboa -H.Salt Fish & Chips. She ya We are back. Almost once every three days. There food is epic. The fish and chips all star. The jumbo shrimp to write home about. The onion rings a home run. The new fried chicken is fabulous. My dad does not like fish or seafood but he can't get enough of the epic seasoning that is part of the Chicken Breadt Strips Meal. The owner is a doll. She gave us a sample of the new chicken breast a couple of weeks ago last week she we gave a sample of the epic chicken. Tonight a sample ( medium size of her freshly made most delious Cole Slaw). Everything here is made in house with a couple of exceptions. The Tartar and Cocktail Sauce; Cole Slaw; etc are all made in house. They are so wonderful. The taste is beyond compare. You feel you're at you're aunt Peggy's house and she has made you a treat. You are not eating food from a bag, jar, or can. The owner cannot be sweeter and more caring. She makes you feel like no matter your age, you are one of her children. My dad is almost 82 years of age, and he too is treated like one of her one. Please you gotta try H Salt Fish and Chips. But not all at once cause then I will be dad when the lines are out the door!!

I came with my family on a weeknight and chose this spot because the menu had options for everyone…read more I had checked ahead of time and saw they offer more than just crab, including pasta, chicken dishes, and other types of fish. It's a small hole in the wall place. It's cute, but don't expect a fine dining restaurant experience. They're currently advertising Dungeness crab at $23 per pound, but you don't know how much your piece weighs. Mine ended up costing almost $70, and it was definitely not worth it. That didn't include any sides either, I had to pay extra to add corn and potatoes. I also ordered garlic bread on the side, and it was the worst garlic bread I've ever had. It was soft, soggy, and had absolutely no crunch to it. The kids' chicken tender meal only came with two very small pieces of chicken. I was expecting more for the price. There was only one staff member serving the entire restaurant, and you could tell she was getting overwhelmed. Overall, it wasn't a pleasant experience, and for spending almost $200, I did not leave satisfied.
