@Dommy Your recs were on the money!
@nlk Your thread about your first visit, helped too!
Late post of my visit to Hotville Chicken after attending a local rally in August.
Started with “The Shaw” fish sandwich with “Cali-mild 4/12” heat level. Fish tasted clean and the crust was delightfully crispy 
The accompaniments were kaleslaw (not my thing) and a huge mound of crinkled fries (I took most of these home with the key lime pie).
Then moved on to the fried chicken - got a dark leg with “Music City Medium 7/12” heat level (the next level is “Nashville Hot 12/12”). Ate half and took the rest home. As with the fish, I loved the coating on the chicken 
and since I normally can’t eat white bread due to my low carb diet, biting into the spicy hot 
chicken on soft, squishy white bread 
was such a treat then and there, and as leftovers the following day (sorry CS1999 I don’t agree with you RE Hotville Chicken at all 
).
Thanks to @Dommy ‘s write up, I got the Southern fruit tea and they also gave me a free refill.
The cashier/server on the Sunday that I went was so sweet! Also saw her congratulate a customer at a different table who did the “Nashville Hot” chicken challenge - the cashier/server came over flapping her arms and told him he won 
The stand alone building with a small patio is quaint and although I am a fan of Howlin’ Ray’s in Chinatown, it’s nice to be able to sit down, relax and eat my chicken in peace. Plenty of free parking in its adjacent lot also a huge plus!
Surprisingly quick to get to from SaMo/West LA, I’m definitely looking forward to going back!
PS: I wouldn’t compare an In-N-Out burger to HiHo’s grassfed burger and in the same vein, I’m not interested in making the argument with Hotville and Howlin’ Ray’s .
Other FTCers may differ in their opinion, and are certainly entitled to do so.
