“Service was outstanding! My friends got a high top for happy hour...but didnt realize I was bringing my mom who can't sit at a high top. The server must have overheard us and sat us at regular table near by. He was quick, funny and so nice. My friends always tell me how great Lucilles happy hour is but after our experience, it may be my favorite!Great place to hang out before a movie. Ample parking. Food and drinks ? but the service? Chefs kiss!“

“Decided to head out into this atmospheric river of rain to get out of the house! My other half loves bbq, so Lucille's it was..We had fried green tomatoes and a couple of drinks in the bar. The bartender was super nice and attentive. We ordered our dinners to go...so far, so good! First time eating here, we usually just order food and pick it up. The restaurant had a steady flow of patrons and everyone we spoke to was friendly! We will be back again, thanks for the great food..“

“Went there today just before closing. Purchased oxtails with candied yams & rice and gravy. Excellent tasting, the gravy was delicious oxtails were falling off the bones and the candied yams were very good also. Did not really like the corn bread dressing. The hostess, Star was very friendly and welcoming. I'm from the Chi and recommend it highly. Price was right also.Looking for good food check Matthews at 2222 W. Rosecran out. They also have delivery. Thanks Star, MickeyParking: Many“

“This spot is in the hood of south central LA... the chicken is bomb af. It's crispy, juicy, & delicious, even on the second day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. It's to go only. They take all forms of payment, even Tap & Apple Pay, which is a win. They have an ATM, too, but it looks like it has AIDS tho, so use that at your own risk.? I suggest the spicy chicken, mini sweet potato pie & onion rings.“

“This was a word of mouth tryout. It exceeded my expectations. The outside looks regular, so I asked a couple of people I saw leaving with food their opinion they too gave it the thumbs up and recommended the lemon pepper chicken. It was yum but they have a few flavors that aren’t the norm green chili lime, delish, lemon pepper drizzled with chili, definitely a return visit, garlic parmesan fries were nice. And my fav was the watermelon slushy. Yum.I will be back. Gonna try the cranberry coleslaw next time.“

“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.“

“Everytime I visit LA I try to visit Dulans! This is my first time trying the Century location and I was not disappointed. I noticed some concerning reviews for my favorite Crenshaw location but a local recommended I check this one out. I ordered the lunch portion meatloaf, mac n cheese and mashed potatoes with an extra cornbread. It was just as delicious as it was the first time I tried it. This is a take away spot or you can eat outside as there are a few table and chairs set up. The portions are generous even when it's the lunch one. I get extra cornbread because it's just that good. My friend got the fish and raved about how well it was seasoned and cooked. If you are craving some good homestyle food like Granny use to make I highly recommend checking out Dulan's Century location.“

Da Cajun Seafood Shack - Cajun

“This is a small place next to a small parking lot. So I was there on a rainy late Saturday afternoon and got right up to the order window. I had the fish and shrimp combo with cabbage and red beans & rice. The fish was fairly thickly and crunchy-battered cooked just right. The shrimp were quite large for a combo plate... this place isn't cheap, but they have it all down to a Cajun science. Food: 5* (Delicious to an item) Service: 5* (Delivered to my car) Looks like I'll be returning here!“
