    Best Waffle !!!
    Tamara H.

    The staff were friendly and attentive. Something that is becoming extinct. The restaurant was clean and had a nice, vintage vibe. The waffle was one of the best I've had in L.A. Flavor was good. Texture was perfect. Whatever coffee brand they're using is tasty. I drink drip coffee, black, and it was the perfect accompaniment to the waffle. Their blueberry pie is yummy. I took a slice to go, and had it later on, at home, with ice cream. Wished I had bought two slices. I didn't try their chicken, but I'll be back for it. Parking lot available.

    One thing I like about places that's been around, is that you know they stood the test of time, especially when it comes to restaurants, and Dinah in Glendale have been serving up Southern Fried Chicken for almost 58yrs now. Everything was exceptional, outdoor picnic table's reminiscent of the south, to warm, cozy and clean barn style decor inside this establishment. Service was great, helpful, and fast. We came here with only one thing in mind, and that's the Chicken & Waffles with a side of season fries, coleslaw, mac&cheese, and wanted to see if this part of town knows how to serve it. Our plates came out hot, and the fluffy, and dense waffles paired with perfectly cooked fried chicken blew my expectations. The fired chicken itself was crispy and juicy, and goes really well with the coleslaw if that's your vibe, n then you add the mac&cheese with season crispy fries to complete the cravings. Affordable, and Delicious served with a side of Professional hospitality described an experience at Dinah's Chicken.

    Ambiance: it's a small restaurant both for dine-in and takeout orders, limited seating inside, the shared paneling lot gets packed easily and there's ample street parking nearby, Service: friendly and fast, the food was served shortly after placing the order Food: classic diner food menu, with emphasis on chicken meals 2 PIECE 'N' WAFFLE - *** 2 PIECES OF CHICKEN, 1 WAFFLE WITH MAPLE SYRUP, choices of one wing and one leg, the waffle was chewy and not crispy, the leg tasted fine, the wing was too dry, and spicy sauces available upon request Price: moderate portions and affordable prices, expect $20+ per person for a quick bite, discount for cash payment

    Dinah's is pure comfort on a plate. The fried chicken is incredibly crispy and juicy, and the waffles are perfectly chewy/fluffy. Every bite feels like a warm hug, and the friendly staff makes you feel right at home. I absolutely love this place and it's so worth it to dine inside.

    Dinah's Chicken has been a Glendale Staple for over 40 years. The chicken is delicious and the condiments are outstanding. The dine area is small and on weekends you will wait for a bit. Why? The Chicken is full of flavor and the traffic of people going in to pick up orders show it. The spicy chicken is my favorite!

    I love fried chicken and had never had time to try Dinah's in Glendale. I was in town the other week to visit family and finally had a chance to visit Dinah's Chicken. Dinah's has been in business for 59 years. What a great spot, as you walk up you are taken back in time, the decor, menu board and high-quality fried chicken. We were seated quickly even though the dining area is very small, they seem to turn the tables fairly quickly. The menu is simple but with plenty of options, my brother and I ordered the Chicken Dinner, which is served all day, it's a 3 piece of chicken, 2 sides, we chose the pineapple coleslaw and mashed potatoes and gravy. The pineapple coleslaw had a lot of flavors the pineapple gave it a nice refreshing taste, a must try. They also offer a chicken drumstick for one dollar, well worth it, it is nice sized. The chicken skin is nice and crispy, not sure how they fry the chicken, but I really appreciated the fact that the chicken was not greasy, the taste of the chicken was amazing. They have a variety of drink options and pies, I counted 8 different pies or so, some from memory are, Cherry, Banana Cream, Pecan, Chocolate Cream, Lemon, Meringue, Blueberry, they looked amazing, we did not have any space for a slice but next time we might prioritize a slice or two. You can also order food to go; I noticed that they have options under their family style menu from a 6 piece to a gigantic 36 piece (giant barrel O'Chicken) for 108.00 bucks. you can also order large 1/2 gallon to a full gallon of sides. If you enjoy gizzards and chicken liver, this is the place for you. One other point, the parking lot is very small, not kidding, plan ahead.

    Trying this restaurant since 1967 with their fried chicken specialty and loving it! I had: 1. Fried chicken combo 2. Pineapple coleslaw - must try item! This coleslaw is not the same with all the coleslaws you've eaten before 3. Corn on the cob 4. Mac and cheese 5. Fried liver and gizzard

    One of the most ICONIC FRIED CHICKEN SPOTS with the BEST Southern-style fried chicken in Los Angeles County is Dinah's Chicken in Glendale Four generations of the Pearson Family have served Dinah's original chicken recipe for 58 YEARS Their chicken are fresh, never frozen; where they are cut, hand bread, marinated and dropped in their special method Pressure Fryers everyday. Check out that golden brown color!! So juicy and crunchy! DON'T MISS OUT ON THEIR $1 DRUMSTICK SPECIAL!! From their family meals, individual plates and iconic takeout bucket of chicken, it will satisfy your cravings! Ashley had great customer service!! There is limited indoor and outdoor seating. Very cozy and nostalgic!!

    Fried chicken, absolutely delicious! 4 1/2 stars!

    Had this delivered on Friday night and still thinking about it! Fried chicken - 4 1/2 stars. Absolutely delicious. Moist and tasty on the inside and crispy on the outside. Mac N Cheese - 4 1/2 stars. Served classic, I loved this!! Mashed potatoes - 4 stars. A classic preparation, solid and delicious! Baked Beans - 4 stars. On the sweeter side but rich in flavor and really good. I was highly impressed with how good this was and will definitely be getting this again. Well done Dinah's!

    First time trying Dinah's and the fried chicken was amazing! Skin was crispy and meat was super juicy. We were all excited to try and eat that I forgot to take pictures lol! The restaurant is pretty small but has cute decors and looks cozy. It has take out orders and indoor dining. Friendly service and really good chicken. Ordered 4 drumsticks to go and the chicken was fresh hot and delicious . The coating was light and crispy and the chicken pieces were large and very tasty. There is a wait for the chicken but every order it is made fresh and not sitting around like other fast food places thats why we waited longer cause first we didn't call. The chicken was hot juicy, super crispy and delicious but not heavily battered unlike other places. They also have shrimp platter , coleslaw, potato salad and even home made pies. This is for walk ins only and not available online - 1$ drum sticks but you have to order 16$ worth of food to get the deal. Wait time: 15-20 mins wait coz we didn't call in first lol Price: a little expensive compared to Popeyes and KFC now Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Service: Good service. Well worth a visit. I wish they have it in the Eastbay. Loved their chicken their gravy, mac and cheese and fries. Definitely worth to check it out.

    Dinah's spicy fried chicken mashed potatoes + $1 dollar drumstick on the lunch special.
    Jonny S.

    The food at Dinah's is always amazing. There's a reason that they have been a Glendale staple for all these years. The chicken is delicious, and any of the sides as well. You can't make a bad choice. The service is impeccable. And the cozy ambience makes for the perfect setting to enjoy comfort food. Whenever I'm in the Glendale area during lunch, Dinah's is my go to spot!

    Mac & Cheese, very tasty!
    Eric H.

    Est. 1967- It's been 5 years since my last visit to Dinah's. I came during the Covid shutdowns, so I wasn't able to eat inside, everything was to-go. this time, I dined-in. The service was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the 2 piece with a Breast and a Wing, Mashed Potatoes, and a side of Mac & Cheese. The chicken is juicy and tender, with a really nice season on the crispy batter. Dipping it in the gravy from the mash is the way to go. I asked for additional gravy and that didn't charge me for it. Also, I wanted to see if the Potato Salad was as good as I remembered and it is! They gave me some to try and again, no charge. Very nice! The inside has a very homey feel to it. It's cozy, inviting and relaxing. The food, the service and the vibe, make's Dinah's a great place to visit. The food here is always good to go, but if you have the time, enjoy a meal inside and relax.

    Coconut cream pie
    Claribel V.

    Whenever we're craving fried chicken and find ourselves in the Glendale area, this is our go-to spot. The chicken is always spot on super crunchy skin with juicy, tender meat inside. I also love their cranberry stuffing; it's delicious and reminds me of Thanksgiving. Their coleslaw is another favorite. The pineapple pieces make it refreshing and a little different from the usual. I also really enjoy their waffles and will sometimes order them with the chicken instead of the traditional sides. My go-to drink is the pineapple iced tea, which is refreshing and not overly sweet. Recently, I tried their coconut cream pie for dessert and it was amazing--probably the best I've had. The coconut custard is so flavorful and creamy. Customer service has always been consistently good here. I've never had a bad experience, which is why we keep coming back.

    When will the Culver City location reopen?

    Will they be open Easter Sunday?

    Yes, From 7:30 AM - 3 PM

    Is the fried chicken spicy? If not, is there a spicy option?

    Not spicy at all and believe they do not have the option. Chicken used to be flavorful but has gotten VERY bland.

    Do you do larger family takeouts?

    Hello Ann! Yes we do! We typically like offering 2-3 pieces per person plus a variety of side orders, give us a call and we can help you order!

Their motto is: "If it's not good enough to serve to mom, it's not good enough to serve to you." The wait staff are friendly and smile every time they refill your coffee from the classic glass coffee pot. The décor is retro with orange vinyl-upholstered booths, counter seating, and terrazzo floors. The menu is extensive, offering something for everyone. The portions are large and prices are reasonable. My girlfriend and I would frequently come here to grub after a night of clubbing. Now, I'll stop by on occasion after a tasting at Silver Lake Wine. My favorite thing to order is the Chinese Chicken Salad without the chicken. The house made dressing is so good. I also love the thick steak fries, hand cut onion rings, French fried zucchini spears, and handmade pies with the perfect flaky crust. If you're looking for an affordable hearty meal with friendly service, Astro is the place.

There's hardly any 24 spots in LA - so for the Silver Lake / Echo Park / east side community - Astro is the best! For LA, the food is pretty affordable as well. Classic diner food. Love the coffee, lots of other great stuff on the menu, I've had a lot of it over the years - some of my faves... burgers, the patty melt (yum)!, all the pies especially cherry, love the coffee, blintzes (love love love).

Outdoor seating is available in the front and back patio and indoor seating is at the bar or dining room.

We started with cocktails - a Mezcal Provencale, Hibiscus Margarita and a Toasted Coconut Daiquiri. They were well prepared and solid. I enjoyed the daiquiri. It was refreshing and not overly sweet and had a slight foam on top. Foodwise we had fish and chips, the house salad, chicken buns and the grilled cheese and tomato soup. Birthday boy enjoyed his salad and fish and chips. I tried his salad and enjoyed the little gem lettuce dressed with green goddess. The chicken buns had the right ratio of chicken, toppings and bread and though an appetizer, was enough for a meal. The grilled cheese and tomato soup combo was the classic pairing. The grilled cheese with the blend of cheeses, crispy Parmesan crust and added bacon was delicious. I savored it with a knife and fork. The tomato soup was also good.

The most we have seen so far, it was more a "business plan" let's do what Americans may think a German beer garden looks like. Our friend, the LA promoter Vahe, took us yesterday. We found a little gem, grown over the years, with an actual German owner and a service that had more than basic knowledge of German food. Nice! The ambiance was what you would expect from a place like this, less stylish-designer but more owner look-what-we-brought-from-Germany over the many years. The food was actually good, reasonably priced and generously portioned - the sauce platter really deserved its name "platter"- Came with great German curry ketchup. It would be too much to brag about the food, it was decent better than just OK version of classic beer garden dishes. But one has to be fair: where in German beer gardens you find food really worth bragging about? So while I was really tempted to stop at 4 out of five stars, I give 5. After all, it matches my most key how-to-get-5 element: would I do a 30+ min detour just to go here. If someone asked me to show them decent German cuisine in a somewhat authentic ambiance, I would take them here. The Kiez may be closer to our home, the Wirtshaus more stylish, but here we found the hearty welcome we missed elsewhere.

Definitely plan ahead!! When I say plan ahead, I mean stay up til midnight to make your reservation 30 days before the night you plan on going, which is when they release the reservations. The reservations fill up instantly for the time frame between 5-7pm. I was able to snag the one at 7:30 pm. Of course you can just wait until a spot opens but I wouldn't guarantee it. Also, I wouldn't walk in... especially on a weekend. We started with the bluefin tuna toast and cornbread. Definitely order the tuna toast. It was such high quality and I loved the lemon on top, which gives brightness to it. The rye was also perfectly toasted. The cornbread was wonderful, the best I've ever had. However, it is extremely rich. The honey butter coats your entire palate after each bite, which begged me to drink a lot of water. For the main, my wife and I just shared the mushroom crusted pork chop. It was by far the best pork chop I've ever had. They really treated it like a high quality steak. It was extremely tender, basically melted in my mouth and it was perfectly cooked/seasoned. For dessert, we just shared the sherry affogato. It was the perfect ending. The ambiance of this place was beautiful, especially at night. This place does get busy so it'll be a bit loud inside and may be a tight squeeze in some parts of the restaurant, but this is still a perfect place for a date night. Can't wait to come back again.

The meal was capped by a tuna toast and a sticky date pudding that both deserve their hype. Highlights included: Bluefin Tuna Toast -- sourdough that holds its own under bright, lemony bluefin. Best tuna dish around, full stop; makes a case for retiring crudo altogether. Warm Medjool Dates -- brown butter and vinegar underneath, a genuine sweet-and-sour combination that works. Market Tomatoes -- good, not amazing. Ripe tomatoes and cheese, all present and correct, but nothing set it apart from tomatoes-and-burrata anywhere else. Edna's Sour Milk Cornbread -- loaded with butter, salty, with hatch chile still coming through underneath. Pork & Green Chili Stew -- loaded with good things, served with some of the best tortillas around. 32oz Ribeye -- cooked exactly right, salty with a nice char. Held back only by the cut itself, not the kitchen. Carolina Gold Rice -- basically a shrimp-butter risotto, creamy with solid consistency. Support role, not an afterthought. Cookies and Cream Ice Cream -- good, not awe-inspiring, especially next to the pudding on the same table. Sticky Date Pudding -- one of the best desserts around, for sure. Salty-sweet balance, vanilla ice cream, toffee sauce, soft cake. Dunsmoor has an extensive wine list. If you're a wine person, it's damn near perfect. If you're a cocktail person, plan a stop at Capri Club (4604 Eagle Rock Blvd, Los Angeles) before or after dinner. On this visit, the market tomatoes and the cookies-and-cream ice cream were the two dishes that landed as just fine rather than must -haves.

If there's an available seat, you can sit there and order food without having to wait for a table which is exactly what we did. The drinks were decent, and the food was good overall. The music was quite loud at times, and we found ourselves having to repeat what we were saying to each other. We were able to find street parking nearby, which was a plus. Overall, a good brunch experience, just be prepared for a wait during busy Sunday hours.

    This historic location, with its dark interior and wood paneling, offers a limited menu of…read moreappetizers and casual lunch/dinner items such as sandwiches, fries, and a burger. My friend ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, which he declared very good. The whole sandwich was dipped in chili oil and served with jalapeños, so it was spicy indeed. Just what he ordered. I had lager-steamed mussels with sour dough toast. I love steamed mussels, as a rule, but I usually have had them steamed with wine and butter. These were, as the name suggests, steamed with lager. Unfortunately, lager is somewhat bitter that militates against the inherent sweetness of the mussels, so I didn't enjoy them so much. The dark, toasted bread was good dipped in the broth to soften it up. Service was cheerful and attentive, and the background music of soft rock oldies, played low enough for easy conversation, created a pleasant ambience. I would definitely visit again, but I would not order mussels in lager.

    Attended a friend's birthday gathering at The Black Cat and had a great time…read more Knowing that part of Silver Lake, I took public transportation so it was easy getting there and didn't have to look for parking. The exterior has been beautified with a memorial stone describing what The Black Cat stood (and still) stands for, a seating outdoor area and an always busy standing area near the front door. The door guy let us in and it was easy to spot the birthday party near the front part of the bar! Fun seating area that faces the outside. We went to the bar to order drinks. Since it was a Saturday night the place was packed but the bartenders are fast and friendly! Looking around there is a dining area further into the venue if you'd like to sit and chill. Definitely coming back to try the food!
