Honey's Kettle Fried Chicken

When I first tried Honey Kettle in 2017, I felt it was the best fried chicken in Southern California and today my opinion remains the same. I have been eating fried chicken since the early 80's and this fried chicken, is made with special magic.I saw some limited street parking but it was full, you have to read the signs to see how long and if you can park there.I parked in a lot less than a quarter mile away, the first hour is free and then $1.00 every 30 minutes.The restaurant began to get busy as the day went on. The food came out fresh and delicious. The chicken breast was so moist and juicy, it is hard to find a chicken breast this juicy. The hot cakes had a remarkably thick and wholesome batter full of flavor in every bite.Please listen to the song I am parodyinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H7Ruei3nd0While you are reading my review.You know, coming back to Honey Kettle is absolutely in my plansI'll eat it to the boneCause' I can't wait another minuteI can't wait another minuteHot poultryYour so well friedI love this lunch todayA juicy thigh or legTo dine, with your red beans and riceI'll have some greens and rollsDine in or take to go ohI know that you make fried chicken so wellI could eat it for the rest of my lifeOh oh ohYou put me in a moodAnd I will dine, your fried, so right, for li-i-ife'Cause I've been hungry for, all the eats, taste so realAnd I can't wait for your fried chickenI can't wait for your fried chicken'Cause I've been hungry for, all the eats, taste so realAnd I can't wait for your fried chickenI can't wait for your fried chickenThat I loveI loveOoh ooh ooh ooh ooh oohOh so lovelyHoney KettleYour taste is so greatYou hot cakes are sublimeAnd I love the tasty friesMy taste buds, they have been blown awayYour moist and tender wayAnd sauce upon my plateYou have something so tender yet crunchyAnd with flavor that is just pure heavenOh whoaI'll write about your foodBecause it taste so goodDivineIt is divine'Cause I've been hungry for, all the eats, taste so realAnd I can't wait for your fried chickenI can't wait for your fried chicken'Cause I've been hungry for, all the eats, taste so realAnd I can't wait for your fried chickenI can't wait for your fried chickenThat I loveI loveOoh ooh ooh ooh ooh oohOh so lovelyI know that you make fried chicken so wellI could eat it for the rest of my lifeOh oh ohYou put me in a moodFor some food so goodTo dineFor life baby'Cause I've been hungry for, all the eats, taste so realAnd I can't wait for your fried chickenI can't wait for your fried chicken'Cause I've been hungry for, all the eats, taste so realAnd I can't wait for your fried chickenI can't wait for your fried chickenThat I loveI love your great fried chickenIts my favorite chickenAnd I can't wait for your fried chickenI can't wait for your fried chicken'Cause I've been hungry for, all the eats, taste so realAnd I can't wait for your fried chickenI can't wait for your fried chickenThat I loveOh oh oh oh

This is the tale of two experiences I will rate this a 4, or "rounding up," because the food was tasty and thos is one of my sister's favorite places. The good: I will admit, the fried chicken is quite amazing. Crispy batter, juicy chicken....the perfect combo. The biscuits were very fluffy and buttery, and adding honey was the icing on the cake. Even the fries were cooked well. The bad: my sister was surprised that I didn't "load up on sides." As I didn't want to drop $50+ for a bigger meal, I decided not too. Though delicious, a tad overpriced. I spent $23 for a two piece meal and a soda. As delicious as it was, be prepared to spend. Also, the cashier was either stoned or hates her job, because she seemed annoyed about a simple question I had.So, 4 minus....ish. Definitely recommended for the taste, as it hit the spot. Just don't forget your debit card at home

I'm not a fan of the chicken. Definitely flavored well, the skin and crispy. But I didn't like the meat. I actually came for the Mac and cheese but that's on Friday, Sat and I think Sunday. I was there on a Thursday. Biscuits are amazing for sure. Service was very friendly. There is a Parking lot behind building with 1hr free parking. Nice store lots of places to sit.

I was super disappointed with this place. Probably one of the worst fried chickens I've had. The breading was bland and underwhelming. The fries were also a let down. Do not come here.

Is it me? This chicken used to be so good. I usually only eat breasts and wings, which wasn't been good the last couple of times I ordered. Today I ordered all legs, I don't like thighs. Apparently, after tasting these legs, I don't like legs either. The French fries are not crispy or seasoned enough. I'm not sure what changed with HKFC, but I'm done with it!

Great chicken nice place. Been going here since he was Golden Bird in COMPTON now I have to HIKE over here but it's worth it

OK, so my pet peeve it was a long wait but... That means a lot of people wanted to eat here. The fried chicken is amazing. The place is clean. It's been in business for at least the past six years that I know of and if you want good fried chicken, no further than Honey's Kettle! The sides are delicious hot sauce, honey. Everything is good here... And that's why they're so busy and that's why they were successful throughout the pandemic this place thrived...a lot of places is closed not Honey's Kettle! #yumola

Been awhile since I have been to Honey's. But out with my boss and he wanted to try a new place he had never been, so brought him here. I have been trying to eat healthier and avoid fried foods as much as possible. But of course I had to get down when I was here and eat their delicious fried chicken!I got the 3 piece meal, that comes with 3 pieces (your choice) of their honey fried chicken, fries, their famous buttermilk biscuits and pickles. OMG I am in heaven.Their chicken has a very light crust on it and super crispy, flavor is amazing! Their Buttermilk biscuits are huge, buttery with honey, could eat a few if they weren't such big. Fries had nice seasoning and perfectly cooked. They give you a few pickles in the side as well. Needless to say, I ate it all and wished I had more. Did not need to eat it all, but it was too good to stop.Service is quick, you walk up tot he counter and order and then listen for them to call you to pick it up, easy and quick.The decor inside is down home, warm and welcoming. Some old signs on the wall, a giant kettle in a brick fireplace and plenary of spots to sit inside and outside.Enjoy.

Honey's Kettle - here I come. I've been here several times, and if you are looking for fried chicken, biscuits, and fresh lemonade that is delicious, try Honey's Kettle. Let's jump right into this review. Disclaimer - this chicken is greasy. Have your lips glossy!!! Vaseline ain't got ish on this shine.What we had -1. Chicken - Delicious crispness in every bite. They serve tenders also. You can purchase single pieces, price varies per piece. 2 piece meal - $17.253 piece meal - $18.954 piece meal - $20.952. Biscuits - Mouthwatering. Period.3. Lemonade - homemade, scratch fresh fruit flavors - O, yeah!OG Lemonade - $6Blueberry Mint Lemonade -$7Pros1. The location is nice, downtown Culver City. 2. Indoor and outdoor seating.3. The food quality is consistent. 4. Employees are friendly. Cons1. There can be a long wait for food given time of day.2. Parking in local city lots or metered parking. This is Culver City, so mess around and find out if you don't adhere to parking signs, pay the meter, or use one of the parking lots.3. Cleanliness is subpar. All the times I have been there were several dirty tables and debri around. I took off 1 star for cleanliness. A clean environment is important to me (OCD crazed here). If you are in the downtown Culver City area, stop in to Honey's Kettle Fried Chicken.

It's ok. Got the 3pc. The chicken is pretty good. The meat was juicy and the skin was extra crispy. The honey and hot sauce make a good mix. The sides are just ok. Biscuit was soft but a little dry. Goes good with honey though. The fries are standard thick cut, just not as crispy as I'd like. Also got a side of red beans and rice. It was ok. I threw in some hot sauce for my own taste. The side was about half the price of a meal though, and the portion was little small, so you could probably skip it. My friend go the fish and chips and said the fish was pretty good, but would have liked some tartar sauce.Service was ok. They're a little skimpy with the condiments. There's street parking but it's probably easier to go to the pay structures within a block or two.
