27 Best Southern Restaurants near Carson

“found out this was basically right across the street from our house so my dad and i just went there today for dinner…..food was amazing, definitely will go again“

“Good food, sometimes a little too salty; especially on the turkey chops, my favorite. Also, whoever answers the phone to take orders, I know, make sure you have your order ready, but he was rushing me off the phone. I had to call back to make sure he got my order correct. Anyway, the food is still good.“

“Good service good food 🥘!“

“Jim Dandy's is an Obvious South L.A staple my family members have been coming here for years even when I moved out of L.A we visited and had to stop here before we hit the freeway. Always has Great tasting chicken. I have had bad experiences before but not bad enough to stay away sometimes restaurants can have a bad day,bad week or bad cook overall I still like Jim Dandy's.“

“Jabar was the most polite and welcoming and humble human I’ve encountered in a very long time. And the food was amazing too!“

“Love going here“

“Recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. We had to stand outside and order our food at a window and pick it up at the side window. The person taking order was not very helpful with the menu and kind of rushed us but it was a line so I chucked it up to that. We ordered the meatloaf dinner with Mac and cheese and yams and my husband got collars and Mac and cheese along with sweet tea. I dont eat everyone's meatloaf but was craving it and I am soooo happy I did. It was some of the best meatloaf I have eaten. The yams were delicious as well and my fav side. They gave a lot of food and had leftovers for the following day and more. The tea was amazing as well but my husband did say it was mixed with lemonade so wasn't real tea but was delicious. Hidden gem and will make sure to visit again when in the area.“

“The BBQ baked beans are legit!! Big chunks of meat in it and veggies!! Yum!!“

“Absolutely the finest Soul Food. You don't want to skip this place. I had the lunch portion of the Oxtail and chose the Candied Yams and Mac and Cheese as sides. It came with 2 Cornbread Muffins. It was all delicious and filling. I ordered the Coconut Pineapple Cake for Dessert. It filled the container. See the picture. Totally Recommend this place.“

“Likeed the Johnny Rebs' in Orange but it closed. While in Long Beach we checked this out. Just as good. Great service. Nice interior and an enclosed patio extension for busy times or nice days. Peach cobbler was overpriced. Liked the collard greens. Not found often.“

“I have been coming here for years. I love it. The food is always cooked fresh to order. The family fish special with the Swai and shrimp with the fries and the onions rings. Not a Big fan of onions rings but I love how they cook in in the fish batter.“

“Best BBQ Pork Sandwich ever!!“

“Lemon Pepper Dry & ATL special w/ Cajun fries 😋 Yummy!“

“Cajun outdoor shack with fried seafood options, gumbo, and even alligator. There’s a small parking lot behind the building. Credit cards are accepted. Outdoor dining only (no indoor options) and there’s delivery and takeout available. As other reviews and the sign on their window notes,you won’t get the food quickly since it’s slow food and that’s part of the whole experience. You scan a QR code to get the menu. I opted for a fried catfish and five shrimp plate which came with an option of two small sides. I got the red beans and rice as well as fries. The red beans and rice were hot and comforting; the fries are crinkle cut. The plate came with a side of tartar sauce and there are hot sauces and ketchup available at each table. They have a paper towel roll and hand sanitizer at each table as well. The fish isn’t as seasoned as I would’ve expected but the shrimp was super fresh and tasty. I had leftovers and they still kept relatively well the next day.“

“Came here with a group of 4 on a Friday around 530. We were seated and attended to right away. The service was nice and the food was really good. We actually found that going alacart was cheaper then getting a combo on the menu. My mom shared a 1/2 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of green muscles, we added corn and sausage and like 2 ordered of garlic bread, plus we each had a margarita and our total was like 60 dollars as opposed to one combo with no drinks, and no garlic bread is like 60 dollars. Anyhow the flavors were so good we tried the butter garlic on the shrimp and the stinken sauce flavor on the muscles and everything was delicious! I recommend this place because it's also really close to (driving close that is) the long Beach exchange/ hanger for some walking around after you are nice and stuffed.“

“Love their food but customer service through drive up window is awful n manager no better over green onion I don't want none they been doing great not giving it they trying make me take it my daughter wants green onion they want charge her not Xtra 29.00 worth she goes off speech to manager n he say we stop n we charge then why is she try make me have green onion on my fry egg rice n never get eggs they attitude stinks we go every sat“

“I took my friend out for her birthday and the food here was so delicious. The fish and chips was good but baby those potatoes man was fire. The employees was nice and friendly. Will be back soon.“

“I enjoyed their food...I didn't particularly care for the instant mashed potatoes... had I'd known that they were "instant" and not real mashed potatoes I would have passed on the instant mashes potatoes, and definitely not ordered that particular item with my 3 ( three)to go orders. Other than that..everything was good and seasoned just right... :)I support this business, and I love that they are also an organization that is helping men and women get back on track with their sobriety.. Dare U To Care Grill is helping to keep them gainful employment and also helping them establish stable housing.Everyone deserves a second chance...Dare U To Care Grill is doing great things!! I prefer to support those who care enough to help and give back!!“

“Good Food. Yall. PEACH COBBLER Is Ready To Die For.“

“Best fried chicken in Inglewood.“

“I love the platanos and platano de empanadas, is my go to! Pupusas are great. Curtido is great, made the traditional way! I recommend you call in to place your order. Is not that they are slow is just the food is great they get tons of orders. I love that its clean inside too. Yeah its located in not the best street but never been a problem for me. I recommend this place!“

“Always fun arcade area fun dart games fun cool family environment also nice environment for co- workers music is ok. Drinks 🔥🔥 family loves the Ribs. The Sauced Team…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥😁👍🏾“

“Very few restaurants are open on Thanksgiving day and were we glad they were! The restaurant in Del Amo was busy but the wait wasn’t too long. Happy to have our turkey there on Turkey Day and so was the chicken fried steak. Dessert was also good and service was quick & friendly! Very convenient to have a credit card machine on our table. Clean bathrooms as well. Would come back again Thanksgiving or not. 😊😋“
