Service (bar tender=Jamario): Just wow! excellent service, fast and willing to please! He has such a smooth demeanor and super efficient. Great on suggestions! It's like I am at my friends house hanging out and chatting it up. Food: 5 's! Oh my God! Tasty fried chicken, like nothing I have had before. Cheese grits is a must! Everything had so much FLAVOR!!!! Talk about a symphony in your mouth, LOL!!! Ambiance: music is on point, a fantastic mix of old school and new school! Comfortable and plenty of space at the bar with outlets for charging your devices!!! read more

Terrible service. All orders include an automatic 18% gratuity so service staff has no incentive. If it is forced on you, it isn't a gratuity. Staff needs some incentive to actually provide service to earn a gratuity. Won't be back. read more

Nah. If you're looking for a place to eat and watch a sports game this is not the spot. Even though they have a lot of TVs with sports, none of them can access live. I had ordered the hummus appetizer and a beer before realizing I couldn't watch NBA playoffs. After I ate and asked for the bill, I noticed they add a mandatory 18% tip and it's factored into the subtotal, so the sales tax is factored after the tip as well. Overall a disappointing and rather lame spot to hang during a long layover. read more

The food was not good, the service was not good and the policy of forcing patrons to tip, presimably instead of paying staff a living wage, is not good. read more

The service was great! I had a very nice server. Beyond that, meh. I ordered the chicken breakfast biscuit. The biscuit and tater tots were fine, nothing fabulous. The chicken was very salty and had a hint of curry, a flavor I don't like. They add an 18% gratuity to the bill and then ask if you'd like to add a tip when you check out using the QR code they provide. read more

Food was good while waiting for my flight Ordered chicken wings... but when they hit the table, they still had feathers on them Now listen... overall, it's still a cool spot to hang out, grab a drink, and enjoy the vibe while you wait.

Food, service and great ambiance. Rebecca was great. Her recommendation on food was great.

Awful. No hostess. Not a problem, until we got yelled at for being a party of two at a three top. Ok, dude sit us then! After that took way too long to get a waitress. We were told there was only one waitress on staff today - crazy for an airport where everyone is rushing. Got our food. It was poor quality. Not good. A extremely overpriced - $95 for a chicken & waffles and a salad, with two drinks. Automatic gratuity of course! My 13 year old ate two bites, said the chicken tasted funny and left the rest. read more

My bf came to grab a quick bite before our flight back home. I wasn't too hungry, so I ordered the Tater Tots and the Luda cocktail. He got the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Final Boarding Call cocktail. It wasn't bad. It was satisfying. But service was very slow for it not being busy. It took a bit of time for someone to come seat us, and then another too long of a time for someone to take our order. I'd give it another chance, maybe if I'm craving some sort of fried chicken or cocktail before my flight. read more

Ludacris, dude, you need to reassess whether you want your name to be associated with this place or not. I had what I thought was plenty of time, but everything took a long time. There seemed to be only one waitperson on duty, although a group of them came out later. They weren't looking around so I finally had to stand up and wave to get someone's attention and get a menum I ordered the two piece dark meat fried chicken. It comes with a biscuit and two sides of your choice; I picked mac and cheese, and rosemary tater tots. $24.99. The expectation was I would get a thigh and drumstick. What came out was unrecognizable. I was told they were thighs, but they were so dry I wasn't convinced they weren't white meat. Lots of batter, not much meat, terribly overpriced and/or leftovers from who knows when. To add insult to injury, there was absolutely no seasoning. Flavorless, overpriced chicken, some of which was so tough I couldn't cut or chew through it. The mac and cheese was mostly mac with very little cheese that had a slight kick to it. It was either microwaved and/or had been made long ago. A pat of butter was dumped on top of the biscuit and it melted all over. No butter on the bottom half. Biscuit on the dry side and flavorless. The rosemary tater tots were the best of the lot. It's topped with garlic which is not sprinkled around, but mostly in one place, so you get no garlic, or a giant dose of it. The food was so bad I left most of it. Fortunately my gate was next door and I could see boarding had already started. The last unpleasant surprise was the nasty charge they automatically tack onto your bill. That $24.99 awful meal cost me nearly $32. read more

Thank you to Jerry who is my new favorite bartender. It's so apparent how much he appreciates a solid craft cocktail. I now have a new go-to drink (which hopefully nobody else messes up because they have big shoes to fill) 10/10 experience and easily the best airport bar experience I've ever had thanks to him. read more

Lanny was our bartender and he was great! Nice guy to talk to and changed over the TV for us to watch the game! Would come back!

Came to chicken and beer with the most excitement and high standards. Loved the wall decor of the albums. It's only located at the airport (delta gate) so convenience is out of the question. The timing was a little off during my visit ( just opening) so I can't complain about the service too much. I had high hopes for the food but it was a little disappointing. The taste was GREAT but the portion size did not match the price. Granted it's in the airport but it did not fully hit the mark overall. My biggest issue was the wait time. I ordered my food at 6:15am when not too many people were there. I almost missed my flight because it wasn't ready until 6:45am when the doors were about to close. Very upsetting. Overall, compared to all the other airport options I still recommend it if you're a LUDA fan like I am. read more

Great service! Jorge was great and got me out quickly for my flight. Food was great as well. Highly recommend.

One of the better breakfasts I've had at an airport. Ate here on a Saturday around 7 a.m. during spring break travel timeframe and they only had one waitress working. Food quality was excellent (egg & chicken biscuit), and actually decently priced for the airport. Lots of seating and friendly staff. read more

Loved the grits not so much the biscuit (dry as hell) but service made it all worth it.. Jamario and his side kick I forget his name are great ! read more

The service was superb. I was attended to immediately. Tania (my bartender/ server) was absolutely amazing. Also, the manager a.k.a Roland also cooked the very best catfish sandwich I've ever had. Omg! It was cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this place. I was lucky enough for this place to be right next to the gate that I will be departing from. Delta airlines gate 36 read more

Jamario is the best! Great drinks, very charismatic. Fun place to hang while waiting for flight.

The food is extremely over priced. Food is very bland. The actual inside of the restaurant is cute with like a little patio seating.

My mother and I were traveling and came across Chicken + Beer in the airport. When we heard it was a restaurant concept delivered by Rapper Ludacris we were curious and had to try it. I'll save you the long story and a disappointing meal. Our fried chicken dinner and shrimp and grits were terribly under seasoned and overpriced. We did not finish our meals but did appreciate the friendly albeit slow service and neat decor. I think this restaurant could really knock travelers socks off if they were able to get the food right since high meal costs while traveling are somewhat expected. Ludacris, please fix these recipes read more

We came to have a few drinks at chicken and beers before our flight and Tiana was the best server! I would definitely recommend her

We had a layover here and decided to try this out since it was near our gate and it sounded like it was going to be good. Did not realize it was the restaurant owned by Ludacris until after we ate our meal. This was beyond disappointing. We both ordered a Fried Chicken Honey Butter Biscuit. The menu says it is served with peach jam and grits or rosemary tots, we both chose the tots. The chicken was small mostly battered chewy bits I had to cut off, not hot or fresh, the biscuit was dry, honey butter was more butter and only on the outside of the biscuit, there was no peach jam but a container of Smucker's strawberry jam was provided, and those tots had zero rosemary and they were stuck together in a giant tot-wad. Chicken +Beer was extremely disappointing. Maybe it was because it was the location in the airport...? We could give them the benefit of the doubt.‍ The service was not great either. We sat ourselves as per the signage, and waited for almost 5 minutes before someone asked us if we wanted a drink and brought us a menu. There were several servers walking around and hanging out by the kitchen chatting, so it was not lack of personnel. When we were ready to leave it took us waving down our server to inform him we wanted the check. We probably should have sat at the bar since that is where the staff was hanging out and those customers were given more attention than those sitting at tables. I cannot recommend based on my experience. read more

Chicken + Beer - Part of menu - Chicken Shop Near Me - Los Angeles, California

There was a sign that said please seat yourself. Nobody greeted us or said nothing. So we sat our self. There was just me and my husband. We sat down at the booth for a while. Until white lady ask me and my husband to move to the high tables, because the table we sat down was only for group of people. Where we end up sitting still had 4 chairs but it was a high table. I honestly think she didn't want to serve us. The server who served us was okay I guess, but never came back with refills and forgot our utensils. White lady server ask table next to us if they like refill on their water. Ignore us. Is it because of our race? How we look? What we order? My husband is black and I'm Asian. You want us to give u a big tip for that? Food was good though. That's all I can say that's positive. read more

(Dined 12/10/24 TU @ 9:00pm): Move bitch... get out the way from this ludicrously good chicken and beer! I arrived early for my Delta Airlines flight to Sydney, Australia in order to settle in, have less stress, and relax into my usual pre-flight travel drink (and meal!) with my travel companion which I found at Ludacris' Chicken And Beer. I was familiar with the Atlanta rapper's namesake but was unaware that he had his own restaurant filled with southern cuisine. Therefore, this place won my business, and the fried chicken smelled crazy good! With some exhaustion due to last-minute things and travel-excitement sleep deprivation, was chicken and beer the right choice for my last U.S. meal of the year!? PURCHASE East Brother Beer Co. Gold IPA Beer 16floz Draft ($13.00): Copper amber color, light sweet tropical aroma, light body, light hoppy sweet flavor, drying finish, and light hoppy sweet aftertaste. An unfamiliar brand to me (Richmond, CA), I really enjoyed! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=kmEgv2o7d2KT_7hKl_TDIQ Loaded Rosemary Tater Tots ($16.00): Created with bacon, caramelized onion, Tillamook cheddar cheese, black truffle ketchup, and a fried egg to top it all off, this breakfast-style dish was slamming, everything was hot (the bacon was crispy as hell!), but I wished the portion size was larger. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=hvnXnvNx9ncRLt0fRfm-Mw Fried Chicken Plate - 2pc Dark Meat Thigh & Wing, 2pc Sides Mac & Cheese & Collard Greens, 1pc Biscuit ($24.99): Plump, crispy, crunchy, juicy, and mouth-watering goodness were each of the deeply-fried pieces of chicken. The mac & cheese was cheesy, chewy, and crazy, while the collard greens provided some much-needed fiber and roughage. The biscuit was glazed with honey butter and steamy when you split it open. The dirty south was representing! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=sXdmRa1AIq3EM9zWsfM4fA Automatic Gratuity 18.00% ($9.72): I was never a fan of this especially since it was only two of us and no table service - ugh! SERVICE I was calmly greeted by an older hostess who directed me to sit anywhere and handed me a menu once I sat down. She provided glasses of water while I waited for my friend. Once she arrived, we quickly ordered, received our respective beers, and about five minutes later all of the food arrived. At that point, we were left to our own devices until we had to pay the bill. All was easy-peasy - thank you! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) I was traveling through and had no need to park. However, the airport offered onsite parking structures with rates that varied from $7.00 to a range of $50.00-$70.00/daily maximum. Because this was located within Terminal 3 of departing flights, you had to already be an outgoing or incoming passenger to even get here, so parking would be a moot point. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located deep inside of Terminal 3 near Gates 30-38 where it was kind of cavernous and quiet, this easily visible eatery was very clean, modern, open, and spacious with a large central counter bar sitting area (with bag hooks) surrounded by a ton of chairs/tables and booths. The only menus were the food https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=F1uz5Yp51g4UCfBdjP2dFw and drink https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=kd29A_nbAUhaupmC1DjuBg laminated ones that were handed to you. A decent amount of natural lighting normally entered through the nearby large glass windows (it was nighttime) while standard electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several muted TVs while the buzzing of travelers and overhead announcements acted as your background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=VNN3IfdwyCPYgiu_E87DgA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Ludacris' Chicken And Beer's LAX Terminal 3 location worked for me and would definitely try them again. The menu was varied enough yet tight and to the point. The food was finger-licking good, I wasn't a fan of the auto-tip, and the service was what it was. The prices were somewhat elevated as expected of any airport eatery, and the location was centralized to the surrounding gates (bathroom nearby). I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $69.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Excellent service. I loved how you seat yourself and the menus were already on the tables. Then after a reasonable amount of time, the waitress came to take my order. Tiana was lovely and gave great recommendations. I really enjoyed the "adult mimosa," which I was informed is their special. The only problem is that I asked for something light, and the loaded tatertots were huge. I suppose that's not really a problem, although I was only able to eat half of it. They came with a fried egg and three pieces of bacon, which is over the top in the best way. I also loved the hint of rosemary in the tatertots. I hope to try the chicken next time I'm here. read more
