first off, the food taste really good. my comments are, the rice and gravy and the cornbread and gravy NEEDS MORE GRAVY. the mac & cheese is a little dry. still taste good though. the cornbread and gravy is more like turkey stuffing for those wondering. taste delicious. the rice was undercooked so that was unfortunate. the cornbread with mac & cheese and beef short ribs taste amazing. please add an option to purchase a side of gravy. i've ordered twice and will order again .... hoping there's a way to make those little changes only have a picture of the main dish because.i ate the sides so fast read more

Mac n cheese was great Greens were good...not too salty and no pork Dressing was very interesting taste that was not to my liking. Overall, I'd comeback. Minus the dressing read more

Summary: Annie's used to be SO good. It's really a shame how badly this restaurant has declined. I can't rate service or atmosphere because I ordered to go, but overall the meal was 2/5 stars. Here's why: Ordered via GrubHub. Cutthroat catfish sandwich: $19.50 (Came with a handful of soggy fries) Side of Mac & cheese: $9.10!!!! Side of candied yams: $7.80 Side of greens: $6.50 Cali Sunset drink: $5.20 Side of muffins/"magic butter": $2.60 Subtotal: $50.70 before tax Delivery/Wait Time: 1 hour 18 mins Mac & cheese: This is by far the nastiest Mac & cheese I have EVER had. And I'm so confused because Annie's had AMAZING Mac & cheese prior to their ghost kitchen move during the pandemic. This bs is so DRY and literally CRUNCHY. I can understand maybe the top layer having a crunch/char, but why is every. bite. CRUNCHY???? This is the only pic I included because you can literally see how utterly dry ts is for almost $10 for a SIDE. Greens: Hardly any smoked turkey, but a really good taste. Not too salty. Candied yams: Very mushy texture, so much sugar you lose the yam taste altogether. Cutthroat catfish: Had a strange, sour after taste. Could be because it took so long to get to me? But the bread they use is regular white bread so it was soggy and stuck to the foil when the food finally got to me. Three pieces of fish on two pieces of white bread. The hot honey sauce is good, but I couldn't finish it because I couldn't get past that sour aftertaste. Cali Sunset drink: Could have been really good had it not been so watered down. You can tell they fill the cup to the brim with ice before pouring the drink because it just tastes like sweetened water, like a drink you dilute for a little kid. Taste not bad, but maybe they should put less ice or no ice and charge for ice on the side, idk. Overall: All in all, it's really sad to see a restaurant decline this way. I have a feeling thr pandemic shook them up financially and I am empathetic to that, but $50 for this pathetic, soggy meal is NOT the move in this economy. They really should stop doing delivery/to go over 5 miles because their food doesn't travel well. And they need to take Mac & cheese off the menu altogether. I would rather eat the fake cheese, Velveeta Mac from El Pollo Loco before I ever eat this again. And for $9! I haven't been this disappointed by Annie's EVER. I'll for sure never recommend or be back again. read more

You guys have got to power wash the front of your business and that parking lot. It was gross PJ was very nice. Inside appeared clean. read more

Really enjoyed the food. Was fresh and hot, i got the catfish and wings plate and lemon pepper catfish. Service was good as well, wasn't a long a wait for the food, was waiting outside in my car actually and my guy was nice enough to bring it out too me. Will be back, gotta try the oxtails next! Thank you guys! read more

I really wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The chicken was not fully cooked, the greens were extremely salty, and the mac and cheese barely had any cheese. The outside area also needed some attention, with trash on the ground, two drug addicts in the front however, the inside appearances was nice. I would definitely consider coming back about six months from now. Hopefully, by then, the restaurant will have had time to work out the kinks and improve the food, cleanliness, and overall experience. read more

So good. All items especially the sides were delicious. Just please ask the cook to lighten up on the salt for the Oxtails. Little bit too salty for us last weekend. read more

Was just looking for a bite to eat and BAM! Came across an amazing soul food spot, Food filled with flavor, Service fast and easy. Get the oxtail mac and cheese roll!!!! read more

Annies Soul Delicious - Hot link, Mac and cheese , and greens - Soul Food Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Delicious food, great service, ambience is chill, restaurant is small but I highly recommend this Soulfood restaurant

Well well well my kids always say I'm susceptible to advertising lol and I saw an instagram post about this place . Omg it did not disappoint. Everything I got was excellent. Some of the best collard greens ever. Fried chicken plain was perfection. Mac and cheese some of the best I ever had and I can cook. The peach cobbler was even better the sweet Peach and sweet peach is fire. Service was quick and excellent. I wish they had the soul rolls and the potato salad like they do at the other location . I will be back and I told all my peeps to go quick fast and in a hurry. Chefs kiss! read more

Food is great Service is good Ambiance is nice Have been there twice now and ready to go back again read more

I take back everything I said about this place! Two years ago, I went to a different location and I was not impressed. But BAYBEEE, I bought my mom a cornbread bowl with bbq short rib and she loves it! I tasted it and it was so bomb! I'm regretting my Bossa Nova order because hers is soooo good!!! read more

I've never heard of "the other location", but THIS location does it for me the ambiance of restaurant is a pickup/to go type setting, The service is always good when I come in. I've come here twice and both times the food was REALLY GOOD. The 2nd time I got the fried chicken combo and that was 10/10 as well. I want to try the oxtail combo next. I hope this restaurant becomes a neighborhood staple. There aren't many/any GOOD soul food restaurants in the area. read more

The food was excellent ! I placed an order for delivery. I love it. I got the catfish dinner and everything I received with it was very good. It arrived on time ! It was hot and the servicing size was excellent. Will order again. read more

Placed a door dash order waited an hour to get my food only to have things missing. I called to ask for extra cornbread didn't receive any in my order at all in my veggie plate. I called to confirm everything would be in my order before I placed it only got them to not send it. Mac and cheese too dry 3 stars, yams 4 stars, cabbage 3 stars need more seasonings probably would have tasted better with the missing cornbread, red beans & rice 3 stars rice was undercooked, cornbread dressing 5 stars taste better than most restaurants. I don't eat meat so if my veggie plate says it come with cornbread that's what I'm expecting read more

Annies Soul Delicious - Veggie plate - Soul Food Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Tried Annie's Soul Delicious at the Hawthorne location recently and I'm glad it's only about 10-15 minutes from my place because I can definitely see myself coming back. It's take-out only, but the food travels really well. The greens with smoked turkey and the red beans with smoked meat were easily my favorites. Both had so much flavor and tasted like they had been cooking all day. Definitely the standouts for me. The wing dings were another highlight. They came coated in a hot honey-style sauce that had a nice balance of sweet and heat. We also had the lemon pepper shrimp and slow-cooked short ribs with rice, which were both really satisfying. One sleeper hit was the OMG Banana Pudding. Honestly, it might be one of the best banana puddings I've had. I wasn't expecting much from dessert, but it ended up being one of the most memorable things we ordered. Overall, a really solid soul food spot that's worth the drive if you're in the South Bay. read more

I hate the beef link with collards and red beans n rice. . The food was ok but the wait was so long. My coworkers had ordered the Mac and cheese and they dint tell us until about 30 mins in they were still making the Mac and Cheese. After about 75 mins our plates started coming out. The beef link was fine but covered in a bbq sauce I had to scrape off. Too sweet. The collards and red beans n rice were above average. Borderline great. There is a fan that goes off everytime the door opens that is deafeningly loud. It's take out with 5-6 chairs. Which with people waiting for Jan hour plus was cramped. read more

This place has delicious everything. You cannot go wrong. Just come and order the entire menu. Everything from the Kool-Aid to the desserts and the entrées is absolutely delicious. read more

Abso****inglutely AMAZING soul food at Annie's - most definitely has it going on - ENJOY!

Hands down soooooo good! So happy they're now open 7 days a week. If you're in the area, I highly suggest you check them out

Was disappointed that this was a takeout only. I was looking forward to trying it,but there was no place to sit down to eat. At the price points that they were charging for the food, I would have expected some seating. If they were serving burgers and fries that would be understandable. Just my two cents. read more

I went on a Sunday afternoon approximately 3:30 p.m. I ordered my food to go. I waited about 45 minutes. I ordered wings with dressing, yams, and red beans the food was awful. It was super salty. I couldn't eat it I ended up throwing it away read more

Smh the pictures explains itself, yes i know there's two locations but both should be on the same page. when i ordered the chicken i asked for it to be fried hard. I've had this location before and this is very disappointing, for the money spent it shouldn't be so much of an issue. read more

Ohh my. Love it. If this is take out?, can't wait for the La experience. We have the oxtail plate with the mac and cheese collard greens and we oh my gosh that stuffing make you want to slap your mama put the oxtail gray on it and dip that cornbread with your collard greens it's on fabulous read more

i'm supper pissed, i spent almost $46.00 on some of the most saltiest toughest oxtails i've ever had from a restaurant, i don't know who's cooking but they need to do better. i want my money back forreal but i'm to tired to drive back over there, promise i won't spend another dime with these people. read more

First time here to pick up some food ,as I'm walking in I notice that it's overcrowded so I decided to wait behind the people in front of me until the cash register return because no one was there . As the cash register came out he had a attitude towards me and claimed that I was blocking the entrance even tho when I turn around there was literally only one person behind me . What was I suppose to do ? Cut the the people who are waiting in front of me . read more

Customer service 10 out of 10 food 20 out of 10 everything was delicious I had catfish macaroni and cheese greens yams and bomb pop Kool-Aid a must make your way or you'll feel like you cheated yourself read more

Customer service was incredible and the food is SO delicious! Seasoned so well! I can't wait to go back again to try more items on the menu

First time trying soul food. So yummy! Everything tasted homemade. The mac and cheese, and their gravy rice. I also got salmon with rice. The portions are small for the price though. I got a little bit of the white rice with my salmon. But I'd forsure try this again. read more

Food taste great. Portion size is extremely small for price. $25 for barbecue chicken dinner (thigh / wing only) and three small sizes. Also, they forgot to include corn bread. If size portions doesn't matter, then I would recommend. For $25, I would think that they would have included a half chicken, (thigh, wing, breast, leg). Will I be returning? Most likely not. Gave 2 stars because food did taste great. read more

I got the short ribs and oxtail dinners. Both had to much salt I know there are bad days, so I will Annie's a second try. I will give it 4 out 5 stars. The sides was ok. read more

I tried the barbecue chicken dinner with mac and cheese greens and yams and the peach cobbler. I didn't like it! The chicken was tough and lacked flavor the mac and cheese was ok nothing special the yams were puréed it was not solid chunks and was super sweet and it tasted like it was heavily made with vanilla extract and karo syrup the greens were ok tasted like liquid smoke was added. The peach cobbler was a straight disappointment . It was congealed like bread pudding which could've been due to the fact that it wasn't temperatured correctly by storing hot to cold too quickly. A small cup cost $7.00 and was inedible. The only thing I did like was the corn bread and the butter that come with it was not good it tasted like wax. read more

I had the chicken wings with fries and Mac and cheese from Annie's. It was a to go order. The service was excellent. I enjoyed my lemon pepper wings because I could taste the lemon. The French fries was very delicious. The max and cheese was good. I like the mini corn breads but I wish it was one big corn bread muffin. read more

i ordered was smothered baked chicken (postmates)it came fried then gravy poured over it, the dressing was not so tasty dry, greens were good very tasty and mac & cheese was ok. i truly only enjoyed the bomb pop drink and i spent $50. i was disappointed! will i try again , maybe in a few months everyone deserves a second chance read more

When I tell you I want to square up with Annie... I've followed Annie's Soul Delicious on instagram for a couple years now, hoping one day to try it. Found out there was a Hawthorne location, which is within my area, I was beyond excited! They opened at 11, I was there at 11:01! Ordered fried chicken, brisket, 3 orders of yams, 2 mac and cheese, cabbage, red beans and rice with smoked meat, greens, and 3 peach cobblers! Paid a little over $100 for this food. I was SO disappointed. Mac and cheese was soggy. Cook the noodles al dente because it's going in the oven to cook some more. Beans and rice... doctored up Zatarans. Who messes up yams? Annie. Undercooked and missing the basic seasoning. Greens, salty. Y'all hyped this food up for so long, I was super disappointed when i tried it. Fried chicken was okay just looked a little undercooked. My man had the brisket and that was the only thing he ate. Peach cobbler was very underwhelming. Long story short, I threw away all the sides and dessert. Anyone giving this place a 5 star, don't know good soul food, or this place is a hit or miss. read more

The food here was so good ! I will definitely be back . The only thing was there wasn't enough oxtails in our plate but the oxtails were so good. The service and the quality of the food was also good . read more

Food was like on fairfax. what i ordered was delish!!! Sides small not like if you eating at the restaurant . Limited food menu . However, it has the most popular items on menu it seems . Desserts limited. Its only to go or delivery. STILL 10/10... hopefully will extend the menu. read more

they opened a second location and put zero information about the times they are open, nor have a number to call to ask a question!! that kind of inconsideration is a real turnoff especially since I don't live around the corner from either location and gas costs too much for this foolishness read more

I loved the food! Well seasoned and delicious. I also had the tropical lemonade and let's just say I should've gotten two lol. I like how the owner and her employees were hands on and interactive with the customers. I will definitely be returning. read more

Food 10/10 customer service from boogie 20/10. We ordered on door dash as we had been seeing on ig. We got the cornbread bowl and the oxtail plate and 2 house drinks. When the food was delivered our drinks were not in the bag. I promptly called the store to let them know our drinks were not in the bag and they offered to send an Uber with the missing items for us. However, the DoorDash was already on the way back. They sent our drinks along with an extra pudding to make it right. The food was so flavorful every item will be back. read more
