“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.“

“We had an amazing experience at Good Clean Fun! We reserved the patio for a small work event. The space was so nice. The food was delicious. I loved the pizzas, honestly some of the best I've had. Their wine selection is great, and they make a great Hugo Spritz.

Also, I have to shoutout Hunter! She was an incredible server. She was so kind, attentive, and flexible when our plans changed.

I wish I lived in LA just to be able to come here regularly! I'm looking forward to coming back whenever I visit.“

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

“A great environment for excellent southern cuisine“

“OUTSTANDING!!! We tried about seven different items and they were all amazing!!! The ribeye burger was exceptional and loaded with flavor. The turkey tenders were moist and crispy. My fiancé loved the salad. The virgin mojitos were spot on and the champs Mac-n-Cheese was FIRE!!! The seasoning on it was perfect and it was definitely cheesy.

100% going back and looking forward to trying other items off of the menu. If you are looking for great food with reasonable pricing, then you need to look out for Love Henrietta’s.“

“The service was great, our waitress was kind and attentive. She shared information on their drink offers and we couldn’t help but to try the lemonade. She made a special little concoction and It was delicious, for sure. After ordering, our food was out in no time. It was fresh, plentiful, and flavorful. We had the fish and grits and an order of wings. We have zero complaints! We shared a plate and stuffed ourselves, and still had food left. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This was the first time visiting and eating at Delicious. My husband and I ordered the small gumbo. It was good not too salty and very hot. It had all of the ingredients we were told it should have and a nice balance portion of the shrimp, crab, and beef sausage. We ate in the restaurant as well it was ok. We ordered some food to go for later. The fried chicken was good along with the spaghetti, greens, rice and gravy, green beans, corn and okra. The only negative is the cashier Maria was not friendly she had an attitude and had a mean look on her face. Overall it was good.“

“10 out of 10 completely. if you're looking for that chicken that just falls into pieces as you take a bite this is a spot to go to it is amazing and tender“

“I really enjoyed the Nola vibes in the seating area on the side of the building. I was worried that the cajun seasoning on the tots would be spicy but it wasn't, and they were very good. I also had the chicken sliders without the hot sauce, and they were also good, but I wish they'd had more slaw on them. The Theves sweet tea was soooo good, I wish they sold it in gallon size!“

“Great food and an awesome customer service. Kudo to Kenneth and his amazing team . Keep putting a lot of smiles to a lot of people’s faces by serving delicious wings and offering superb customer service.
The World’s Greatest Wings .“

“I just ordered from Dante Fried Chicken Ghost Kitchen in Koreatown, and wow the chicken was beautifully piping hot and incredibly juicy. You can tell they've brined it just right, the buttermilk soak really shines through. Definitely one of the most tender bites of fried chicken I've had. It lives up to its buzz!“

“This Louisiana offers fried chicken Gizzards and Fried liver. $6 I loved fried chicken Gizzards as a child. I had to try it to recreate that childhood experience. They could use a little bit more seasoning. But the crunch and experience was what I wanted to revisit again memories of being in my grandma's kitchen. My husband said the fried chicken is good. They have an extensive menu. So if you are in the area. I think it's worth a try. No dining area. You have to eat in your car.“

“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!“

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

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