PHILADELPHIA, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Love & Honey Fried Chicken, the Philadelphia-born premium fast-casual fried chicken brand known for its hand-dredged chicken, thoughtful preparation, and hospitality-focused experience, is opening its newest location in South Philadelphia at 1523 East Passyunk Avenue.

The restaurant will officially open on May 20, with a Grand Opening Celebration announcement coming soon.

Founded in 2017 by Laura and Todd Lyons, Love & Honey Fried Chicken has built a loyal following through its commitment to quality, consistency, and attention to detail. Every order reflects the brand's commitment to quality and attention to detail, featuring hand-dredged chicken fried in small batches, house-made sauces, comforting sides, and signature desserts like the brand's well-known banana pudding.

The South Philly location marks another important step in the brand's continued growth throughout the Philadelphia region and beyond.

"We're incredibly excited to bring Love & Honey to South Philly," said Nafee Hossain, franchise owner of the new location. "East Passyunk has such a strong food culture and neighborhood energy, and we're proud to become part of the community. We believe people can taste the difference when food is prepared with care and consistency, and we can't wait to share that experience with our guests."

We're excited to continue growing while staying true to what made people fall in love with the brand in the first place."
