Old fashioned, full of flavor, crispy crunchy chicken, definitely a nostalgic must have , I absolutely love this place
Welcome to the OG of fried chicken in LA! With only two spots this place transports you back into time when restaurants had character. I loved it loved the service the food the nostalgia and the price and I highly recommend this to fellow fried chicken connoisseurs as I find this to be on level if not better than KFC, Roscoe's, Popeyes, Gus'
If you are in the area I recommend checking this establishment out for good crispy fried chicken. We ordered 2 dinner plates of fried chicken and thigh that came with 2 sides and a biscuit roll. Service is pretty straightforward and fast since there was only 1 cashier in the front. The chicken is really crispy on the outside and perfectly juicy inside. There's only 2 locations in the LA area so I recommend trying them out.
OMG, if you have never been to Pioneer Chicken, drop everything and go right now! The most crispy and moist fried chicken...the best (or close to it). This is definitely a classic chicken shop, with only two locations remaining in LA County (Bell Gardens and Boyle Heights). Seriously, the chicken is probably some of the best you'll try, and the sides are always good. We were a little bummed that they had sold out of their biscuits by 7:11 pm, during last week's visit. Luckily, the mashed potatoes and BBQ beans made up for it. Nothing fancy here, just a simple dining room or drive thru, and amazing fried chicken.
My friend brought up a nostalgia time in her life when she used to eat at Pioneer chicken in the Bay Area. Here we are bringing her back to her childhood. Inside you will find the original menu and seating. Ordered the 2 piece (leg and thigh) dinner that comes with 2 sides. X TWO (we had to have our own of course) We also ordered a shrimp plate that came with fries. We shared all of our side dishes..dirty rice (a little spicy 7/10), Potato salad (10/10), mashed potato with gravy (10/10), beans (10/10). We ordered a side of corn split it in half and enjoyed that sweet buttery corn as well (10/10). The bread it comes with was not good. I tried to add butter to it hoping it would improve but no (2/10) Shrimp was crunchy and good too. It came with 1 cocktail sauce. I asked for another but they said $0.28. I passed on that and enjoyed it with ketchup. Ketchup they seemed so stingy with. I literally had to get up 3X to ask for more because each time they gave me 2-3 packets. Last but definitely not least we each grabbed our chicken leg, took that first bite and just WOW. I looked at my friend and saw in her eyes she was instantly brought back to the good ol days. As for me and my first bite I thought ok yum this has a nice crunch. The second bite I took I really tasted the juiciness of the chicken. The flavor is delicious. The ratio of batter on the chicken skin is perfect. 1 star off only because service wasn't great. I also don't appreciate $1 refill of a drink.
