Soul Food Restaurants near Culver City, CA

“Be careful, the food here is highly addictive because it is so darn good. Whatever you order, add a couple of blueberry biscuits as your dessert. They are amazing. The chicken is really great, as well. Best fried chicken I have had in LA, better than Roscoe's.“

“thoroughly enjoyed this place!!“

“The food is good, but the management and the staff are out of this world. Keith, Mel, and the rest of the establishment thank you. Dennis and Stacey will definitely be back.“

“I was in LA a couple of weeks ago on business and found this spot the day before leaving and that's my biggest regret. Wish we'd found it the first day we we're there I'd have been eating there everyday. The food and atmosphere are excellent and a live DJ playing music we all grew up on (can you dig it ✊?). The purple (grape) kool-aid was a blast from the past fo so.“

“customer service that's a number one thing with me and they had very good customer service skills“

“This is authentic down to the sexy owner Francesco with the beautiful accent. He made the heck out of my cappuccino with a hint of house made vanilla and cinnamon. He deftly stirred and measured all the while answering my questions just so I could hear him speak.
I also got the fritatta with zucchini and other delicious veggies. O.g! Do, savory and fluffy. They have so many items on the menu from pastas to decadent desserts and they even have imported Italian sparkling water and still. If you wanna feel transported to a country and romanticize what your taste buds are experiencing, this is the place for you. There is some seating outside and you can people watch but the star of all of this is incredible food just the way his beloved Grandmother made.“

“This was my first time at Tev's and I will make it my regular spot. The food was delicious. I had the chicken wings, mac and cheese, the garlic mash potatoes and cabbage, I also got the ribeye strips plus you get a free drink. The portions are generous, you can't beat the price. It was my Juneteen Day treat, I ordered online which was very easy.“

“Our family of 5--parents + kids 22, 19 and 13--had Fatburger on our "must do" list for LA. We wanted to eat inside, but they were only serving through the drive-thru so...drive-thru it was. The wife and I don't eat beef so we each got the Fatburger w/Impossible patty. The kids got the Classic Fatburger. Fries all around of course. The car was filled with smacks, slurps and mmmms. Good burgers! Now the fries could have used more seasoning but the burgers were slappin'!“

“had a good time there with a friend and I will return“

“12/10 service, 12/10 food. 5 stars doesn't even do it justice. If you're on the fence, make the jump!

4100 isn't a typical spot for me on a Sunday, but it definitely will be now that I know Nugtown will be there.

I've worked in the service industry and done local food reviews for 10 years across Detroit, Denver, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. This is one of the standout spots, hands down. That is saying A LOT.

Hand battered chicken, everything made to order, and Mike will let you know exactly what you need without trying to upsell and swindle you.

I take my food, specifically fried chicken, very seriously and there is not one thing that I could suggest to improve. I can't wait to tell everybody!

Thank you, Mike!!“

“I recently stumbled upon your establishment and must say, the name perfectly captures how I felt after trying your food. I ordered fried wings, rice, and vegetables, and each dish was exceptional.

The wings were piping hot, and the aroma that wafted from the box was simply incredible. The blend of spices and flavors was perfect, and I was truly blown away.

The rice was buttery and delicious, and the vegetables were a wonderful complement to the meal.

Thank you for such a delightful dining experience. I will certainly be back for more.“

“I first discovered Delicious Southern Cuisine while working Uber Eats a few years ago. One day I was craving meatloaf, noticed it on their menu, and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did, because ever since that first visit, I've been coming back regularly.

Let me start with the star of the show: the meatloaf. It is hands down my favorite item on the menu and the main reason I keep returning. It's flavorful, tender, comforting, and tastes like a homemade meal. Every time I visit, I tell myself I should try something different, but I almost always end up ordering the meatloaf because it's just that good.

The food is served cafeteria-style and is prepared in advance, but don't let that fool you. The quality and flavor are excellent. Their gravies are especially noteworthy and elevate many of their dishes. The smothered chicken is delicious, rich, and full of flavor thanks to the gravy. While I wouldn't rank the fried chicken among the very best in Los Angeles, it's still enjoyable, especially when topped with their excellent gravy.

The side dishes are another reason this place stands out. I've tried several of them over the years, and every one has been delicious. My go-to side is the homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, which pair perfectly with the meatloaf. I also love their corn and okra mix, which is packed with flavor, as well as their black-eyed peas. And of course, I can't leave out the mac and cheese, which is rich, creamy, and always satisfying.

For dessert, I've tried the banana pudding, and it was very good as well.

I haven't explored much of their made-to-order menu, so I can't speak on every item they offer. However, based on the quality of everything I've eaten so far, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend giving the rest of the menu a try.

The restaurant itself is a small hole-in-the-wall spot with outdoor patio seating right on Crenshaw Boulevard. One of the nice touches is the view of Leimert Park while you eat. Parking can be a challenge, especially during busy times, but in my opinion, the food makes the extra effort worthwhile.

If you're looking for comfort food, Southern cooking, and especially one of the best meatloaf plates I've found in Los Angeles, Delicious Southern Cuisine is absolutely worth a visit. I've been coming here for years, and that meatloaf keeps bringing me back.

5 out of 5 stars.“

“Food was pretty good but coming from the
East coast ,I never spent $90 for breakfast before. the service was good the vibe was cool. The food came out in about five minutes no complaints other than the price, but I guess that’s me getting used to LA. I definitely will come back. It was also a very convenient location a few minutes from the airport so it was a quick way to indulge in the culture as soon as we got here.“

“Mimi was wonderful and I'll get a meal from R and J whenever I come to LA! Hell of a menu, homemade deserts and lemonade. I ate every bit. I highly recommend the treasure of a Soul food restaurant. I will go back to Indiana talking about the good food at RJ's.“

“Silas did my beautiful lady and I right had to take a nap mid meal to finish my delicious chicken burger with fries for the first time I’ve eaten a full meal here and I can’t hold you this location is the most delicious meal in the county first hand and I speak for all my buddies also thank you to the server and cook they did excellent service today“
