“Just ate here this week, and it was great! I got their fried fish combo with greens and Mac n cheese, and it was delicious!

I haven't had fried fish like this in years, and they give you 3 giant pieces! The greens were nice and savory, and the mac n cheese was fresh and tasty. I also enjoyed their strawberry lemonade which paired well with my meal.

If you can get a meal at Dulan's, you won't regret it! I'll be back again soon, thanks!!“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely great food! Had the fried catfish, mash potatoes, homemade gravy, and corn on the cob. Friendly service, too.“

“I am absolutely done with this place! I will never, ever, never, ever, again Darken the door of this Establishment! And I will let everyone, I mean everyone that I know to do the same! I went after the Fires to order Dinners for 3 Suffering families due to the loss of their Altadena Homes, and I order by phone.. I was quoted a certain price by phone... I was quite clear on what she said... However upon arriving at the Eatery to pick up my order... I was given a different price by the Owners Daughter... She has an extremely Smug and Nasty Attitude!!! And it's nothing new! Then she screwed up the 2nd order as well... Again... Her Attitude is extremely Smug and Nasty, I could care less if her father is the owner, I will not be spoken to or at as if I am a liar after having been A faithful Patron there! Her Huffing and Puffing as if she were some type of Dragon trying to put out a fire didn't bode well with me. When I went in I was being polite but after trying to explain the error in pricing and ordering she acted as if I were trying to get something for nothing, when I only wanted what was the original price quoted to me by phone and my order done properly. Then after almost 30 minutes she accused me of not paying for Yams! I thought she had rung them up so I brought them out to the car, she then asked... Did you pay for those? I said yes... Didn't you ring them up!? She no I didn't... But you can have them! I said... Certainly not! I took them right back inside and left them on the counter! If her attitude hadn't been so nasty I would have let it go... But she has very poor social skills! And you can't have Poor social skills when your in the Restaurant business should you choose to keep Loyal customers! Vidal, who is the owner I believe is a decent man , however when I called and left my phone number to speak with him 3 times... My call has yet to be returned, at the least... And I do mean least they could do is apologize!!! In any case.. I will take My $$$$ and all of my Church members and family, and Friends elsewhere to dine and tell them never to Darken the door of this Eaterie again until attitude adjustments are made ..if then! Folks... Go to where you are respected period! Stop settling for any old place no matter how good the food may or not be. I would rather have bad food and great customer service, than Good food and Horrible customer service! It's your choice!“

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

“Best BBQ Pork Sandwich ever!!“

“We ordered Dinner combo 9. We got our order after 15 minutes, which was quick. We tried the red snapper, and it's was good. The seasoning needs more spices, but the light coating was okay.The fried oysters were tasty, and the shrimp hit the spot. The sauces need to have more zing and tang to it. The fries had less salt but were not crispy enough. They have lots of fish to choose from. They also have chicken menu.Overall, this was a good place to order seafood and take out dinner. They don't have tables inside, so you have to eat in the car or take it home.“

Samia server

It would be wonderful to discuss how my husband made an excellent choice in selecting this location. I must commend him for his efforts in finding a new and suitable place.

Once we walked in immediately we were greeted by Samia. She kindly showed us to our seats. Drinks were immediately taken after sitting.

Drinks- a sprite , diet coke @ lemonade @ $4.25

Let's talk appetizer fried green tomatoes with cornmeal topped with bacon took me back to my childhood.. Samia mentioned it's one of there best items also.

Fried green tomatoes with bacon and Chipotle sauce @ $13.95

Our meal let's say the hubby ordered with his eyes. Our meal consisted of.

Classic burger side green beans my entire burger was juicy,well done, fully loaded with onions, tomatoes. My green beans were flavorful with bacon bits.
@ $17.50

Southern chicken sandwich with bacon, avocado @ $18.95 the chicken was well coated and crispy the chicken was so juicy and well flavored.

Jambalaya bowl dry no juice @ $12.99

After all our food the hubby ordered banana pudding & peach cobbler @ $8.50

We all dived in and enjoyed shared bites if each desert even had plenty to take home.

The atmosphere was so relaxing, I seen regular customers come in being greeted by thier names and would you like that same Jambalaya today sir was asked.

I'll be coming back ...

Thank you Samia for giving us a gift card.“

“Owner is always kind.
Food is fresh always.
Breaded fish has the right batter amount.
Size of dishes are fairly to price,
The place has a big variety of plates.
I always order fried fish next time I'll be more adventurous.
If you come before 2 pm you pay a dollar less.
You must wait for your food they made it by ordar.

Dietary restrictions: They can make it as you want it

Parking: Is ok“

“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.“

“best chicken I Have ever had. loved it! Thanks“

“Un lugar muy agradable para convivir con la familia toda la comida está muy deliciosa y los Empleados son muy amables“

“Food was great! Service was impressive! Madelyn was very good and always smiling.we love the pot roast and steak.large selection of desert.highly recommend.“

“It's small and gets crowded at peak hours. I like the chicken. It's slightly different from the other franchises. The french fries are very good. It's cheaper than the bigger franchises. I like that you can choose between drumsticks, thighs, or wings. Mix and match what you want. Their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend you give them a try.

Parking: I only go to their restaurant on MLK near the corner of Vermont. But there are more locations.“

“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!“

“I was here for a birthday party, due to this event all of the staff was assigned to this event from 5:00 pm to 7:30 dinner and the bar services wasn't being offered . Once services were back in full swing, the margaritas were margarotahs terrible . Hosting a party and while being open as a full bar was too much for them to handle, they can only do one or the other.“

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

“The food here is delicious 🤤 Definitely a must try for anyone who loves Nashville hot chicken sandwiches“

“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!!“

“Best fried chicken in Inglewood.“

“We had a large Slingshot group that was eager to eat. They accomodated us and we all LOVED our selections. We did have a long wait but BOYYY was it worth it. The mimosas are delicious and the side dishes are a good portion, the owners hospitality ended our experience with smiles. Long post but I bottom line is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I live in the I.E. and cant wait to come back again.“

“Food was great. Server was friendly. Food came out fast. Check was big but hey what do you expect with bbq. I would go back.“

“I live an hour away and I still drive here because the food is 🔥 🔥🔥“

“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.“

“Food was great. Server was friendly. Food came out fast. Check was big but hey what do you expect with bbq. I would go back.“

“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.“

“Happy Hour prices and all day long.“

“Great Soul Food. Large portion of food at inexpensive prices. One plate can feed 2 people depending on what you order.“

“This place is definitely great, they have excellent service, the place is nice, the attention is very fast, your food will probably be on your table before you try your drinks; And the ribs are delicious, tasty, well cooked and the rack is of a very generous size.“

“I love the food here. Their chicken is one of the best in my opinion.

The service is poor just for the fact that they are always understaffed. I went on my lunch break for a quick meal and there was only one employee handling the drive thru and customers that were dining in.

I drove thru so can't really say much about the dine in atmosphere but it looked nice inside regardless.“

“Enjoyed the jambalaya, brisket and catfish and shrimp.“
