Update 2:
Hearing so many recommendations for their Fried Chicken Sandwich, I wanted to go back (and drag some other friends with me to try it out). 
The Sandwich (Boneless Breast, Slaw, Comeback Sauce, Pickles, Butter Bun):
Visually from seeing @theoffalo’s pics, and seeing it in person, I knew this was going to be special. It wasn’t some cookie-cutter, preformed perfectly round patty seen in fast food joints. Nope, Howlin’ Ray’s version is rustic and rugged and organically shaped, LOL. Took a bite.
Wow! @theoffalo @Haeldaur @A5KOBE were right! This was a fantastic Fried Chicken Sandwich! 
This thing puts to shame every other Fried Chicken Sandwich I’ve had so far! It makes the gourmet Fried Chicken Sandwiches at the trendy places around town feel like Chick fil A, seriously.
It’s crunchy, juicy, moist and tender. Chef Zone has tenderized the Fried Chicken Breast so you get this pleasing bite of lean, but juicy and supple Chicken Breast with each bite. It’s saltier than their traditional Fried Chicken, probably from the Comeback Sauce, but it has a nice crunch from the Pickles, the Butter Bun is soft and tender and when I think about the “Mother Clucker” I had at Belcampo (which has their own all-natural Chickens), it puts it to shame.
Belcampo’s Mother Clucker:
Belcampo’s was soggy breading, extremely bland meat (inside), and not very satisfying at all.
Back to Howlin’ Ray’s wonderfulness… on Weekends Only, they serve…
Fried Chicken & Waffles:
Chef Zone makes each Waffle to order, piping hot and fresh, and it shows. Their housemade Waffles are SO GOOD! It’s toasted, crisped, yet fluffy on the inside, and light and airy! Seriously some of the best Waffles I’ve had in a long time. 
You have a choice of any section of the All-Natural, Cage-Free Chicken, so I chose Dark (Leg & Thigh). Chef Zone mentions that they’re making their Chickens in smaller and smaller batches to keep it piping hot, and wow it was piping hot, just out of the fryer!
We got it Country Style (No Spice), and even on this 3rd visit, their Chicken is still my favorite. Crispy, crunchy exterior, mouth-wateringly tender, fresh-tasting Chicken on the inside. And it tastes light (not greasy), with a clean Peanut Oil flavor, which lends fragrance.
Howlin’ Ray’s not only makes the best Fried Chicken in L.A., they make the best Chicken & Waffles with those fresh Waffles.
Market Side: Macerated Berries + Lemon Zest:
Their Market Side today was fresh Macerated Berries with Lemon Zest. The blend of Strawberries, Blueberries and Raspberries were sweet, but not overly sweet, and the Lemon Zest added a nice counter flavor (tart, citrus) to the side. It was delicious.
I can’t believe they just opened, as Chef Johnny Zone is running a clean, well-organized kitchen (you can hear them barking out orders and keeping things moving along at a good pace). Howlin’ Ray’s = Awesome Fried Chicken. Can’t wait to go back!
