🐔 The Scoop on Dinah’s Re-Opening in Culver City 🥞
Guess who’s back, baby? Dinah’s! The iconic L.A. pit stop that’s been keeping travelers full (and a little sleepy) since 1959 has officially spread its wings and landed in Culver Crossroads.
Once the go-to diner on the way to LAX, Dinah’s was the place for fried chicken that could make you forget your flight delay. When the original spot started hitting a few financial bumps, two longtime customers stepped in to save the day — and bless them for it — because a world without Dinah’s fried chicken is not a world I want to live in.
The new location is modern yet cozy, with plenty of tables and a covered patio that says, “yes, you can eat pancakes at 3 p.m. and feel good about it.” Most of the original staff are still here, so the familiar smiles and fast refills remain intact.
🍽️ Let’s Talk Food — AKA The Important Part
Comfort Chicken Dinner ($25.95):
This is the diner big leagues. Three glorious pieces of fried chicken, a salad or soup (pro tip: get the gumbo on Saturdays), two sides, a dinner roll, banana bread, and a drink. You’ll leave both full and spiritually healed.
Fried Chicken & Waffles:
A sweet-and-savory masterpiece that deserves its own fan club. Crispy, golden chicken meets fluffy waffles — the kind of pairing that makes you believe in love again.
Half Sandwich & Soup or Salad Combo:
Feeling dainty? Go for the turkey sandwich and house salad. Simple, fresh, and exactly what your responsible side orders before your reckless side gets pie.
Apple Pancakes:
Not just for breakfast. Not just for dessert. Not just for people who make good decisions. These pancakes are pure, cinnamon-spiked joy — highly recommend at any hour.
Chocolate Cream Pie:
Decadent, nostalgic, and rich enough to make you consider a nap in your car afterward.
☕ Final Thoughts
Dinah’s Comfort Kitchen is back — and honestly, it feels like a warm hug wrapped in fried chicken. The new spot is clean, friendly, and still oozing that classic diner charm. Whether you’re chasing nostalgia, comfort food, or just a good excuse for pie — Dinah’s delivers.
Long live diners. Long live fried chicken.
