Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- There's no beer or wine, and you can't bring in your own.
- Save Time:
- Consider take-out as a time-saving option. Call ahead to place your order.
- Know Before You Go:
- The restaurant is very small and doesn't take reservations, so plan on a at least a short wait if you arrive during peak dinner hours.

Old School In The Best Way
by azach902 at Citysearch
Going here is like stepping back in time. I feel the decor may not have been changed in decades, but it's clean. The fried chicken is why you should come. Everything else is fine, but for a change of pace from the chain chicken places, it's Dinah's all the way.

Dinah's is a great "retro-style" experience
by FoodExpert7 at Citysearch
It's kitschy and cute. They have mini-pies that are delicious.
Muuuch better than KFC!!!!
- Pros: mmm pineapple coleslaw, rolls w/apple butter, tasty chicken
- Cons: once in a while they'll have an off-day

Great Chicken n Shrimp
by Leyvaman at Citysearch
Dinah's is definitely a favorite place of mine. I'm a fried chicken lover, and this place ranks at the top of my list. Not too greasy and good flavor! I'm not a fan of their fried fish, or their gizzards, but their shrimp...wow, if you haven't tried them, you should- they won't dissapoint. Their sides are ok, but it's the other stuff that makes me come back, again and again.
- Pros: Their fried chicken and fried shrimp are the best.
- Cons: Fried fish and chicken gizzards aren't worth a second try.

Terrible First Experience
by RominHawk at Citysearch
I've been living within 2 miles of this restaurant for the last 20 plus years; never tried them before -- the place never attracted me. End of 2007, Glendale News Press published Glendale?s best businesses, etc. and Dinah's were listed as one of the best. A week later I gave them a try; walked in, put in my order for about 5 people -- spent close to $29.00; took the food home very excited to eat the best. It was a burned, soggy, chicken parts, the fish sticks .. fishy and no great taste; the shrimps OK. One of the chicken boxes had a curly hair inside. It was a disgusting experience. I'll never go their, ever again.
Very very disappointed

Little Miss Sunshine loves it!!
by nmtjg at Citysearch
If it's good enough for Little Miss Sunshine it's good enough for me. I saw the bucket on the dinner table in the Movie. The next time I'm in Southern Cal it will be the first on my must eat places! I have eaten more fried chicken than most people on the planet, and consider myself a fried chicken expert
