Placed an order by phone for pick up. The order was 20 pcs family meal with 3 large sides. More like small side but you pay for large. $60 + for that 20 PC chicken on the website the cost is $42 that is an outdated amount. That being said, the chicken is worth it. Crunchy, juicy and not overly salted. Mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw, macaroni salad all very fresh and delicious. I recommend this establishment but please see for yourself and let us know your review. Friendly staff and great cooks. Cooked the chicken to perfection.

Chicken was good, better than KFC. I don't know if it tastes like the Pioneer i remember from my childhood, it's been too long. The orange bang tastes like I remember, and the corn is the same mediocre corn I remember- good memories! Chicken was still crisp and delicious after a 45 minute drive. If it doesn't taste like it did in the old days, it's better. I only wish we had the old sunset blvd location back now!

I remember going to them back in the 1980 with my family. I did not know there was any left in operation. The food was as good as I remember. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. I wish I lived closer.

This is my first time coming to Pioneer Chicken in a long time more than forty years, I have try their chicken I remember it was golden brown and crispy when taking a bite. They are only two Pioneer chicken restaurant left one of them is Boyle Heights and this one that my wife and I are at is in Bell Garden. When we stepping into Pioneer Chicken you go back to Pioneer Chicken in the 80's it hasn't changed it looks the same can I remember. The menu looks the same but the prices went up it's not 80's prices. We were looking at the menu and decided what to order we decided order a three piece meal with two side on the side we ask for potato salad and mashed potatoe and also including a biscuit. Then my wife wanna get a fried fish she remember get them years ago. We waited for o
