Southern Restaurants near Culver City

“This place delivered as advertised! Super moist chicken. The atmosphere was ok but lots of dirty tables and when I asked about it the staff member gave me her towels to clean it myself. Overall, it was a manageable experience and this was my second trip the first was fantastic!“

“The food is very good and flavorful. I recommend you definitely try their fried pickles and cauliflower appetizers, cauliflower has a little spicy kick if eaten alone, but of course it comes with 2 different dipping sauces. The chicken and sausage were very good and well cooked. Very juicy. The service was great, very attentive and ambience was very nice. Not too crowded but it was a weeknight so it was perfect.“

“It's always such a fun time at GCF! They have an awesome selection of wines and our very knowledgeable on all of them. The food is absolutely amazing and the staff is always one of a kind. Ian and his team always make it memorable experience and this is by fat the best wine bar in LA!“

“It was even better than I remember. I had the catfish po boy, chicken & waffles. The French bread, remoulade sauce & generous seasoning of the fish were delicious. I would definitely not consider myself a grits fan but the fried cinnamon sugar grits…so good. I can definitely post photos of empty boxes but other than that ??‍♀️. You’re going to have to order your own. Make sure you order directly on the restaurant site www.gritznwafflez.com. Signed up with my email when I ordered & got a discount.“

“Many who dine out know about the chicken sandwich craze which spread across the nation several years ago. From gourmet style to fast-food many eateries jumped in to offer their take. Le Coupe is no sleeper and from what I experienced ranks in the top of fried chicken with a twist. Many rave about Memphis style chicken and they should but Le Coupe uses its Louisiana Cajun heritage to make it a "must stop." Their sandwich is exceptional. If you're looking for basic fried chicken, this is NOT YOUR SPOT. Instead you will be treated to fried chicken drenched in a tasty hot, honey style sauce that is the perfect complement. The quality of the sandwich shines as while the chicken is superbly prepared, the bun, the slaw, the pickles take it to a new level. Some might raise an eyebrow over the $15 cost but again, this a'int fast food as you get what you pay for. Moving on, the rib of corn is so basic it's hilarious to mention. But, boy have they hit it out of the park with this appetizer. Ribs of corn are drenched in a mayonnaise chili sauce that makes it a very addictive dish. For $11, worth the experience. The potato salad (made with red potatoes) is fresh made (like the other items), very tasty and a nice presentation by being topped off with fresh chives. The drinks are another hit. Everything is freshly made. The lemonade was tasty and you could taste the quality. Again, at $6, you get what you pay for. LeCoupe is a tiny venue but cozy enough for several chairs, as well as a few outside. Everything is made from scratch but your order comes at a quick pace. Western and Melrose is a busy intersection, so the parking on Western can be tight so you will need some patience or street-smarts. Le Coupe has earned my business so if you're having the taste for some uniquely fried chicken (thighs or tenders) you can't go wrong with them. Price points may appear high but worth it based on the quality your receive.“

“The most delicious gluten free southern food anywhere!!!“

“I ordered the 2 piece combo you get 1 side and choice of role or some type of sweet bread with powdered sugar. I opted for the roll and spicy rice. It was truly delicious, hot and reasonably priced. The rice was cooked to perfection and spicy good with chicken in it. The only thing is a lady in a wheelchair was in there begging for money. These establishments need to run them out.“

“Love love love Cajun/Creole food! I was more than pleasantly surprised to find this gem in my neck of the woods, and am happy to report that Mardi Gras Tuesday will be my go-to Cajun/Creole joint for the foreseeable future. Mind you, I'm no expert on the cuisine, but I've been a fan for a long time and can happily endorse the Étouffée (crawfish), the Jambalaya, the Mac and Cheese, hushpuppies, and the friendly service at Mardi Gras Tuesday. *Though the cornbread didn't necessarily wow me, all and all, it was a great meal for the portions, price and quality. And considering they got slammed as soon as we walked in (around the start of the Super Bowl), the service was quick and we were in and out of there with bellies full of comfort food within an hour. Can't wait to go back!“

“The staff was friendly and great customer service.The fried chicken, wow! the batter was light, crunchy, and delicious. We chose Willie Mae's because it was my mother in laws name. We wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary at a special place. It was the perfect atmosphere and the meal was excellent.“

“Last night my brother and I visited this establishment while looking for somewhere to eat. The service was good and the atmosphere was kick back. We ordered the chicken basket and it was wickedly delicious. The way the chicken was prepared, widely woke up our taste buds. It was very close to home as well, and we will certainly be visiting more often in our future. I highly recommend Crawford.“

“Food was great and the vibe was awesome. Great music and great conversation“

“Great place for brunch - the food felt very southern and it was delicious“

“Asked for a view in a 3/4 empty room, was told 2 people couldn't have the corner seat. Was offered an inferior view so we left. Bad business to turn away a couple over seat preferences. We have never been to a Bubba Gump Shrimp restraunt before, will never return either. Too bad. Went across the pier to Seaside on the pier and have an excellent view.“

“Discovered location through Diners, Drive-ins and Dives show. Great food and the servings are large. Definitely recommend this location.“

“It’s slow to get your order, but that’s because it’s made fresh. If your in a hurry, take it to go. Otherwise, the chicken is excellent.“

“Al's Hot Chicken chicken chicken wrap with french fries was absolutely delicious. Very tasty. Juicy fresh clean meal and I was only able to eat half and save the other half for lunch the next day. I'm talking about it and I'm ready to go get one right now. Laugh out loud. I give Al's Hot Chicken A GRADE OF(. I'll be back many times. ) Amazing taste!“

“It was a fun experience.Miles, our server, made the experience very good.Ordered steamed shrimp and kids chicken straps meal.Kids meal came out on a fun paper boat and drink came out in souvenir cup that you can take home.Beer also included a souvenir glass.Fun place to eat when you visit Universal Studios.“

“The sides in my opinion were okayyy.. However, 4 stars to Uncle Andre's because they have a niche that cannot be found elsewhere. Their bbq is the type of bbq you only find at cookouts. The bbq immediately transported me to a summer day at the park with friends and family.“

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

“Awesome food! The atmosphere is phenomenal. Love this place.“

“Clean, good menu and slushies“

“Love the food customer service excellent will be back #GetTheGumbo!“

“Rinky dink place, but the food and atmosphere make up for it. The customers were friendly. The service was extraordinary. The owner cane out, the cook and the waitress all checked repeatedly. Great service. Because we represented a sorority, Many people spoke to us. One person actually paid for our meals! When we found out, we all cried. It was a wonderful spirit at Dulans, and we were thankful for everything that occurred. We'll be back the next time we go to L.A.“

“(just passing through the area) i come into this place and like; raising canes vibes. but bro i hope this place takes over every single raising canes. i cannot believe ive never been told about this place. i hate yall for that. god imma be dreaming about what i just ate. (raising canes was my first job and i love them to the core but this place just did everything better)“

“The chicken livers are amazing.“

“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!“

“Awesome experience. Food is just like u would want it to be. Great hospitality. The owner and staff are wonderful. Please check it out.“

“We were lucky enough to have them cater us (the actors) in between our 2 day performance. Michael & Jessica are not only great cooks, while serving you they have a way of making you feel like family and everyone is gathering around at the "family cookout!" The fries were season so well and the chicken was juicy!“

“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!“

“A passerby saw us looking at the menu and said this place was IT. We went in and had the best fried chicken I've had in years--I could have ordered just the crispy, crackly skin and been happy. Plus, the candied yams were amazing! We're coming back to this place.“

“We gave this place a 5 star rating when we came previously. Now, I doubt if we'll ever come back. We came in on 11/10 at around 2:15 and were told that there was a 45 minute wait. We left to head over to the Southern Girl Bakery. We came back about 50 minutes later and still had to wait to be seated. We werent seated until 3:24. Normally, the front of house worker will seat you and tell you that your server will be coming soon. That didn't happen for us. She pointed to a table to tell us where to sit. Our table still had food on it and I had to ask someone to come and wipe the table off. Every other table had drinking water on the table. Ours had none. We had to watch other people that were behind us coming in get served before us while we were forgotten about. No one came to tell us they were serving us for about 15 minutes. Someone walked by and saw me looking around to see who would help us when and said to me that she would help us in a second. 5 minutes later she finally came back with water. We never got her name. We finally got to order drinks and got a Sprite, 2 lemonades, an Orange Sherbert mimosa and Caramel Apple mimosa and then our food. This was about at 3:50. After some time, I looked over and saw what I was sure was my wifes 2 drinks sitting at the bar with people walking and talking around them. I had to get up and go to the front to find our server and remind her that we hadn't gotten our drinks. At 4:11 she then brought our Sprite and lemonades and then asked us if we had gotten the mimosas. She then brought us over the CA mimosa that had started to change colors and the OS mimosa that had ice cream in it that had completely melted and we had to ask for them to be remade. We then waited until 4:45 for our food and then we called it quits. Our daughter was hungry and wondering where the food was and actually started to cry when we said we were leaving because she really wanted to try the strawberry shortcake pancakes. As we were walking out, neither our waitress nor the front of house worker even acknowledged us. Waitress didn't even come and check on us during the wait or see if we needed refills. She stayed in the front area of the restaurant most of the time so I couldn't even see her to remind her that we were waiting. I definitely shouldnt have had to remind her that she never brought our drinks over. We live in Torrance and it's about a 20-30 min drive from our place to here. We wasted gas and time coming here. This was the worst service that I've ever received from a restaurant. Particularly upsetting that my daughter broke down about us leaving. They had a big party in their back room but we still shouldnt have been treated this way.“

“Food was excellent. Very tasty and good use of spices. All good and overall satisfied with good. One comment is that the lady seems to think it’s funny and call out numbers that aren’t correlated to the order. It also takes really long to get your order almost 30 minutes. Other than that, it’s good.“

“Came on a Monday night with a party of 4 and was able to get a table immediately. First of all, I love the atmosphere of this place, and as soon as you walk in you get hit with the smell of smokey bbq goodness. There’s tons of TVs to see all the ongoing games, no matter where you’re sitting. I started off with the Pig Head Red Ale to drink, which was very good. I got a 2 meat combination plate, which was enough food to leave me stuffed by the end. The ribs were very good - fell off the bone with a nice bark and smokiness. The pork belly burnt ends were pretty good, some pieces were melt in your mouth tender while others were on the tougher side. Flavor on them was excellent though. Potato salad was incredibly creamy and I enjoyed the addition of bacon. The cornbread was tasty, fairly moist and with a good sweetness and flavor. We had some hushpuppies for the table, which were nicely crisp on the outside while soft on the inside with a multitude of complex flavors between the peach chutney and the brown sugar cinnamon butter on the side. They have four different house bbq sauces, all of which are very good in their own way. Will definitely have to come back again to try out some of their other meats!“

“So many great flavors. We had the collard greens, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, meat loaf, and fried chicken. We also got a couple of sodas and potato salad and a piece of cheesecake. All good food. So glad we could find this place when we were in the area for an event. Definitely coming back when we are here again.“

“Chef Marilyn's has been a staple in LA for many years at this location and the other location across from McDonald's near 43rd. Lines are always long as it's a takeout location but the food is always good. I get her prices went up but what hasn't these days. Inflation is real for food, groceries and gotta keep staff at competitive wages. The food is so bomb nothing is never nasty chicken meatloaf spaghetti yams greens cornbread smothered chicken and her gumbo is everything. We love it here and will keep visiting. Her ambiance is a to go so it's busy and staff can be a bit slower but they are friendly. Some of the best soul food on the west coast.“

“OMG what can I say about Dulan's so me and my family traveled all the way from Palmdale to this place because my nephew loves it so much now they have a few restaurants throughout la and they all taste the same quick service friendly staff the food OMG the food was so damn good I literally went to go try another restaurant that's not affiliated with them when I tell you I cried lol yes I did because the other restaurant food was trash I spent damn near $20 for trash so by the time I went back to Dulans they was closed i was mad ?the I think I had about everything they had on the menu the next time I went back so good I think know I feel that they cook their food with love because how could something tastes so good to be having you travel almost 2 hours just to get their food I promise you as long as they stay open I will never go to anot“

“Best fried chicken in Inglewood.“

“This was hands down my FAVORITE place that I visited during my trip to LA!! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. Our server was NEXT LEVEL!! She was very attentive, gave us everything we needed, had great recommendations, and went above and beyond!! The restaurant itself was decorated beautifully and they had the best music playing! We tried a few dishes and each did not disappoint!! From the pork chops, shrimp and grits, catfish, macaroni, to the cabbage......chef's kiss!!! And the dessert.....AMAZING!! I had the cheesecake, and I'm not a dessert guy. It was drizzled with pralines caramel....OMG!!! Check this place out of you're ever in LA!!“

“I was raised on Home made Southern food so trust me i know how Southern food is supposed to taste. I've eaten here 3 times not once have I been disappointed the smothered chicken is my favorite the chicken is crispy and smothered with a delicious homemade gravy, cat fish is flavorful and always served HOTT! Collard greens crack bread fried chicken and macaroni and cheese taste just like my Grandmother's. Oh yea and the service is great everyone is very friendly and attentive! 10 STARS across the board!“
