Dinos is not nothing what use to be. The service is bad now ,they don't have signs to indicate we're to order if you go to the window inside they told you to go outside after they kiting you waiting, they need to put signs. The food was very cold if you go and complain they give you bad attitude. They need to relaxed and back to the good service and good attention. The flavor is changing. Please do something, if Dino was here he well do something.Thank you ?
TL;DR: huge portions, affordable, DELICIOUSLY unique chicken and soaked-in-chicken-juice fries that'll have you licking your fingers for hours.Wow. So good. My fingers are still tinged with orange from the chicken and I want to do is review this place!!AMBIENCE: Okay, not gonna lie, this place looks a little scary. It's in downtown, not in a good part of town, BUT there's usually a long line of people/locals wrapping around the building so you know it's good. It has a window outside and inside to order, with that one long line that feeds to either window. After you order, there's some seating inside. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall.FOOD: But the chicken... wow. That chicken is so good and the fries are so delicious. It's flavored in the way that the chicken is citrusy, blasted with flavor, but I've never really had chicken so juicy with that much flavor ever before. I think I read that it was Greek-inspired? But I'm not sure how I would describe it since I've never had anything like it. You have to get your hands dirty to eat it and once you start trying it, you'll rip that chicken apart to get every last bit. The 1/2 chicken is HUGE too... even though it's delicious, it was so much food that I couldn't finish it.And the fries... they're soaking in the juice of the chicken so they're extremely flavorful, messy, and delicious. It's also kind of citrusy, but that same burst of flavor. These are the kinds of fries that you want to take home and heat them up- even though they'll never be as good as when they were fresh, they're so good that you just want to savor them as best as you can.Whew.. writing this really makes me want to go back. Definitely worth the trek out there.
Best grilled chicken in SoCal. Customer service is amazing. Every staff member is great, lots of team work going on in the kitchen to achieve those great flavors in every plate. The fries have a spicy kick with a hint of chicken flavor. The chicken is soft and full of flavor grilled to perfection giving you the best grilled chicken experience. Minimal wait time. In a nice busy area with lots to see and do. Thank me later! Highly recommendedLocal-forum.com
Has anyone noticed that the fries are not greasy which I enjoy very much. I have been going to Dino's for 2 years now and I enjoy the food. They only have parking for 8 cars.

There’s honestly not much more I can say that hasn’t already been said, but I’ll put my two cents in anyway!The food? Divine. The uniqueness? Off the charts. The clientele? Tried and true and hungry for more!Every time we go to Dino’s, it’s an experience in and of itself. There’s nothing to dislike, there’s nothing to criticize, there’s nothing to even think neutrally about. It’s all 10/10 from first looks to final bites.The chicken hits different than any other spot, and the juices that flow from the chicken and get all commingled with your sides… oh my god you have not lived until you’ve combined near everything you’ve ordered together for that one perfect bite.I’ve been to every geographical place in the USA where “their chicken is the best” and I’ll tell you what… nobody compares to Dino’s.It’s famous for a reason, and it’ll stay famous for the same. Good, honest, down to earth cookin’
Oh man, Dino’s Famous Chicken is to die for! It’s absolutely delicious. You’ll be stuffed if you end up finishing the plate they offer.I will definitely be coming back here whenever I’m in the area. I wouldn’t want to miss a plate from these guys.The place looks doesn’t look the best, kinda old. But places it’s places like this that have the best food hands down.
It was elaborate, extravagant but so SO good! The seasoning on the chicken which bleeds out into the rice is mouthwatering just to think about. What I still can’t get over is how sharp and cheesy the cheesy fries were - and how they used shoestring fries and not the thick cut ? The only downside is the wait time, it could possibly be better managed but otherwise it’s a minor sacrifice for something so tasty!
I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and it is good food every time I come. I tried the new wings and if you love the dinos sauce then the wings are for you! The long lines are worth the wait.
Was hoping for complex and incredible flavors and got exactly what I was asking for. Got the charbroiled chicken with fries and slaw. Only time that I have kept reaching for soggy fries. The sauce drips from the chicken onto the fries which creates a beautiful succulent starchy masterpiece. If you haven’t been here, take it up on yourself to go.
