We have been here many times before. The fried chicken is always fresh and delicious. It is pricey. Friendly service. Parking in the back. No dine in but there is a small patio outdoor if you want to eat there. read more

I tried this place about 12 years ago and ITS STILL GOOD!! The chicken is exactly what you want and it's the comfort we expect. I'm. It gonna say service is the best or that the place is beautiful, just that it's a must try!! Thank you read more

Passed by this place 100x but never tried it until today. Ordered a meal with Cole slaw and bbq beans as sides. I thought the Cole slaw was the perfect side! It's not too mayo-y like KFC Cole slaw. It's a more thick cut, fresh, and crunchy with a very mild taste. The potatoes were similar to soft fries. We ate this at home with Trader Joe's garlic sauce and it was so good. Oh, and the chicken was great too! Ordered over the phone and the order was ready in 25 mins. Will definitely return. read more

Pittsburgh Chicken & Subs - Chicken, potatoes, bbq beans, Cole slaw - American Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Wanting to try a place for a quick lunch near work, we went to Pittsburgh Chicken & Subs. The interior was small, simple, and warm, but after getting your food you can sit at the covered tables outdoors if you would to "dine in." We opted for three of the 2-piece broasted chicken lunch specials ($9.99 + tax from 11AM-3PM) which come with a choice of side (coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni salad, or baked beans) and bread roll. We also bought some bottled beverages. The chicken was very juicy and crispy despite not being deep fried. The potatoes were tasty and served in a generous portion. I also found the coleslaw light and refreshing. I will say that the chicken and potatoes were a bit salty for my tastes, so next time I will ask for light seasoning. I believe our chicken came as default cajun flavor, so next time I would opt to try lemon pepper or original. Service was fine, there was minimal interaction as you pay at the cashier and wait for your food to take with you. Overall, I enjoyed trying broasted chicken for the first time. read more

The chicken is always juicy and tender. The sides like the macaroni and potato salad are clearly from a tub and not homemade. Nonetheless, I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the young girl that occasionally answers the phone to take orders. She clearly has no bedside manners. read more

Was not that good. Got the chicken 2 piece. Chicken not alot of flavor besides salt. The papas are horrible. No flavor. They looked seasoned but no. Not good 10$ lunch. Felt like 4 $ lunch at best. Would not come back. A lot of better chicken spots. Popeyes. Whatever ahahahahah read more

I stopped by this place after driving by it for years. Parked in the back when i walked in it was exactly what I thought it would be. Not disappointed at all. I didnt know what to order so I just got the 2 piece dinner. Im not sure if I just didnt understand or she didnt understand but I asked for 2 thighs, baked beans and potato salad. Paid my bill and went to wait in the car as she told me it would be about 15 minutes. It was abuot 5 minutes and she even brought it to me. Thats great service! Anyways I ended up eating it the next day. The 4 stars though is because I didnt get what I orderd. I had 1 breast, 1 chicken leg, some very flavorless and starchy potatoes, a small portion of baked beans and some white sauce. Anyways the chicken, excellent. The beans, rich and flavorful. Will I go back? Maybe. Try it out, at least once. read more

The original owners would be so proud! I'll always remember the lovely couple who opened Pittsburg Chicken way back in the early 90's. I remember when they told us they were retiring and selling the store to someone else. I instantly thought it would never be the same!!! I was very wrong!!! The new owners have absolutely maintained the quality of their entire menu without changing anything. That's amazing in my opinion and they are VERY friendly as well. They are very much an important part of this community. If you are looking for juicy broasted chicken and potatoes than this place WILL NOT disappoint. The coleslaw and baked beans are great side options as well. This review is based off of a customer who eats Pittsburg Chicken 3-4 times a month for nearly 30 years!! I can't recall a single time we were disappointed with our meal!! That means alot ,,,,, Los Alamitos go to for delicious broasted chicken!! #1 read more

The food is amazing Its a unique place with outdoor seating I loved eating in the open and very much enjoyed the hot freshly made chicken read more

We haven't been there in years. We were close, so we decided to stop in and try it again. The owners that we remembered were no longer there. We were disappointed, but we were there and we were hungry. The lady seemed nice that took our order. The chicken was tasty and had nice flavor. We both had original and all white meat. Then we got to the potatoes....Meh. We both didn't like them. We could have mashed them and eat them that way. They weren't cooked all the way. He got macaroni salad and I got coleslaw... we ate it because we were hungry. For some reason I got a hockey puck that turned out to be a dinner roll which was not eaten. The place didn't look anything like it used to. We weren't there for the look of the place, just the chicken. Lastly, the smell inside was... breathe through your mouth. It definitely wasn't the same smell that was there before. At least we went and tried it, but unfortunately we will not be back. If we want broasted we will go to Grandma's on Alondra in Bellflower. read more

This chicken is the bomb you should go there and you get it hot you might have to wait a few minutes but it's good

I have been a customer for more than ten years! The chicken is delicious and the service is great. I like to support the independent business owner as opposed a franchise operation. The owners of this establishment work long hours daily to keep their customers very satisfied and that is why we continue to patronize them! read more

I tried flame broiled chicken dinner set. It comes with 2 pcs of chicken, vegis, rice and bread. Chicken has some old smell and vegis looks frozen food from costco. But they didnt heat it enough. Some vegis are still cold. I want the local restaurant popular and good reputation from neighbors. But the taste is too bad. I am sorry. read more

I was here at this establishment yesterday and all, I can say is that the food the chicken is very delicious can't go wrong with broasted chicken. read more

What to order: Philly cheesesteak sandwich and the hot wings chicken! With hot sauce on the side so the wings stay crispy. I made a phone order and pick up was a breeze, no wait. The hot sauce is buffalo so that might not be for everyone, but I loved it! This place is definitely a great place to try if you want to support a good local spot. read more

Pittsburgh Chicken & Subs - 14 piece hot wings chicken (hot sauce on the side) - American Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Love this place! I always order the eight-piece chicken wings with ranch and rice. Their chicken is tender, delicious, and cooked to perfection. It's a mom-and-pop type place with outdoor seating, and orders are to go. read more

Chicken - fish - -and steamed veggies are tasty -- order ahead - takes a little while to cook food

YUUUMMMMMM! We love this type of chicken so of course we had to try this place. Again, the hub found on Yelp. We called our order in advance, knowing it takes awhile. Sure enough, 25 minutes. We planned to eat back in our hotel, which has dining area/kitchen. This place is so old skool, so cool! They have seating outside, to the side is their shop. Love it! read more

The chicken was seasoned well and tasted good. I just wished the pieces were a little bit bigger than what they were but overall, I would give this place a four star. The customer service was excellent as well. read more

This is the best chicken bursting with flavor and seasoned how you like from a tiny easy to look over spot. They have different seasonings they will add upon your request (I do lemon pepper)! The chicken is juicy and never dry. The potato's are pressure cooked the same as the chicken and seasoned likewise. They are delicious when dipped in their homemade ranch recipe (if your into ranch) and also have a spicy ranch if you like it hot! I usually buy extra for anything else I want to use it with:) Definitely give it a try if your in the mood for delicious crispy, seasoned, and juicy chicken. They are a small place but have outside seating and are such nice people. It's family owned so they always go out of their way for everyone. I recommend the lunch special! The other stuff on the menu is good to but I stick with what I know at this place! read more

Chicken was super dry& nearly inedible. Nice spice on skin, but chicken isn't brined or marinated. Meat was tasteless. Potato salad was good, beans were good & bread was good but needed butter. Potatoes were bland & not tasty. Both the potatoes & chicken tasted like old oil that needed changing. Unfortunately I won't be back. read more

Consistently the best broasted chicken anywhere! Juicy inside and crispy outside. Why do you need to eat fried chicken when you can have it broasted? Service is very nice and quick. read more

This place is a Los Alamitos and SoCal hidden gem. Been going here for years! It's 25 miles out of my way now but I still make the trip at least once a month. Try the lemon chicken it's GODLY. The woman behind the counter gives great service and the ambiance is sweet and nostalgic, a breath of fresh air from franchised food. Give them your money and your business!!! read more

Fantastic fried chicken. I was afraid that it might have been too spicy, but it wasn't. Had the slightest of kick they had only enhanced the flavor of the chicken. The gumbo was amazing as was the red rice and beans. read more

Here lies a Eulogy to every chain chicken restaurant this side of the Mississippi. To KFC... Take that bucket of fried chicken and tell Colonel Sanders it's been a good run, but it's time to throw in the greasy towel. To Popeyes... Even though I.... (sing it with me) "Love that chicken from Popeyes!" Your chicken sandwich craze had me running around like a chicken with its head cut off looking for a sandwich that I have still yet to try to this day. To Chick-fil-A... You make me happy, you make me smile, but if I get one more craving for your chicken on a Sunday afternoon, I'm going to lose my freakin' mind! And to El Pollo Loco... Even though I'd kill to get my hands on your delicious secret citrus-marinade recipe, you are just one crazy chicken away from me completely flying the coop. They say that with every death comes the birth of a new life... Well, get ready to bring your tastes buds back to life and prepare yourself for the BEST. CHICKEN. OF. YOUR. ENTIRE. LIFE. EVER!!!!!!!! So here's the back story... I brought two of my friends here for lunch last month and I assured them they were in for a treat. I had been here once before and remember the chicken being pretty damn good. As we walked up, I had to apologize to my two friends as the place looked a bit more tattered than I had remembered and the next statement by one of my buddies was and is absolutely the absolute truth... He said, 'no need to apologize. I Love places like this. Restaurants that look like they are going to fail their health inspection are often times the best places to eat.' I looked at him, nodded and said fair enough! So off we went into this mom & pop chicken joint that smells of absolute heaven. The heat is so thick inside the small area where you place your order that you can literally feel the warmth and absolute love coming from the kitchen. Fast forward approximately 12-14 minutes later and imagine 3 grown men sitting outside eating our plates of chicken smiling ear to ear, shoveling our lunch into our mouths faster than lightning strikes and the entire time absolutely raving over how this is by far the best chicken of our lives! So what possibly makes this chicken so damn amazing you ask?? It's Broasted Baby!!! Not deep fried with excess amounts of batter. Not baked causing the chicken to dry out. Not even boiled, or broiled or bbq'd because it's 100% Broasted which creates the most perfect crispy exterior with the most juicy, moist and succulent inside that will definitely ruin all chicken you have thereafter. Options of chicken are: Original, Cajun, Lemon Pepper or plain; I personally had the lemon pepper and it was absolutely mind blowing! And just when you thought this place couldn't get any better, along comes their Broasted potatoes...OMG!! So do me a favor! No wait! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!! Come to Los Alamitos and come eat at Pittsburgh Chicken & Subs. Look up the cooking style of Broasting and why it's so amazing. And finally, See why Broasted is the ONLY way to go when it comes to eating "fried" chicken! If you love it, which I know you will...You're Welcome! If you hate it, which I know you won't... McDonalds is across the street. Go get yourself a happy meal with chicken nuggets you psycho. Haha! My hope is that you Love this chicken as much as me and my buddies did, I personally can not wait to go back! read more

I've been here before but it's 25 miles away and if traffic is bad, nah, I'll pass. I always prefer supporting the independent mom pop business! This is a tiny mom and pop shop with no interior dining space. There are 4 outdoor round picnic tables with solid sunshades. Frankly the only thing I've tried about 6 times is the chicken. It's pressure cooked/roasted so it's not deep fried. I like to think it's healthier. It's never greasy but the pieces are small. The plate comes with baked sliced potato slices with seasoned salt and a choice of one side. The side comes in a small individual serving size. I get the potato salad which doctored store bought but I like it. The pork and beans are out of a can. But sometimes I like the backyard choices with a bit of this and that. Check their menu out because they offer subs too. The food is prepared to order so if it's lunch time be prepared to wait about 15 minutes. Chicken is not seasoned. Rear parking is limited as is street parking. I wish they'd go to larger pieces and sides. Next door there is a pasties shop aka as dough stuffed with some kind of meat filling. I've only been there once and it was delicious so while you're at the chicken place getting chicken or fish and chips or a sub, you can also try a pastie. read more

Pittsburgh Chicken & Subs - 3 piece chicken with sliced baked potatoes, potato salad and beans. - American Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

This place has been in business for so many years and there is a reason!! The chicken is amazing. Tips, order ahead. This place is tiny and people can get lined up. It is also so small that it a uncomfortable hot if you have to wait. Every order is made after you order so it takes minimum 20 minutes. This side are pretty good but the chicken, it's a must try (IMO) if you like chicken!! read more

My second or third visit , Like before food was tasty , Fairly quick , Fair price & Anytime I stopped by to pick up there was plenty parking in front or back of the building read more

Love this place and grateful they are still in business. It's prepared to order - so if you are in a rush, you should probably call in. Also note that there is also no indoor seating, but a few tables outside with umbrellas... it's more of a lil' mom and pop shop. Definitely worth trying if you're in the Long Beach area. read more

Best fried (broasted) chicken in our area. The chicken is super crunch on the outside and juicy on the inside. They got some good deals for lunches. I pair a cup of ranch with everything. If you haven't already, try their chicken with Cajun AND lemon pepper combined. It's a game changer! read more
