    I finally got to visit this place after dropping friends off in Union Station. My original idea was…read moreto go to Amboy, but unfortunately for them they didn't open up in time. I decided Howlin Rays deserved my attention. There was already a line in place and they were playing some good music from the restaurant. When it came time for me to order, Ryan at the counter was very friendly to me. Everyone in the restaurant was. I really enjoyed that. I stuck with getting the mild sando, and didn't expect the chicken breast so gigantic! It was a delicious sandwich and the spice was pretty good. I'm glad I didn't go any spicier than that. I ordered the fries which were actually pretty good. They were definitely seasoned, but they weren't heavily in taste sense. They had something for me to drink and it went really well with a meal actually. I'm glad that I could say that I enjoyed this place from beginning to end. It is a little hidden, but luckily for me I found it. Definitely will come back to have my wife try it one day.

    Now this is hot... no really this is hot.. and flavorsome. Crispy breading, no sogginess here…read more Juicy chicken. No overpowering singular seasoning (cayenne) but a nice, FLAVORSOME balance of all seasonings. Fries are quite expensive for being fries BUT THEY ARE SO GOOD. Service here is above and beyond, the nicest people and most extroverted you will meet. Have a chit chat with them and find out! Cutest little plaza with all you can ask for... DELICIOUS FOOD!

Happies is located in Arts District and I came here on a Sunday dinner and didn't have any problems with parking. But, I can see how it might be hard to find if you come during peak hours. The restaurant was pretty empty. First thing I noticed was that there were tons of employees but no one really said anything. Since there was no one ordering, they were all standing around. You can just order at the kiosk but I wanted to ask a few questions but was kind of left to fend for myself. I ended up ordering the chicken tenders and chicken tenders with salad. I thought the restaurant ambience was nice. And after waiting for about 10 minutes, my order came out. They gave me extra sauce but again no explanation on why the extra sauce was provided. As for the food, I thought the chicken was kind of bland. I expected some Sichuan style but hardly any spice on the chicken. Once of the sauces was a Sichuan chili crisp, which gave the chicken more taste. Maybe the chicken was bland because I was supposed to dip it in the sauces? Aside from that, the other sauces were average (ranch and sweet/sour sauce). The salad was definitely a huge miss. They didn't dress the salad properly and only put dressing on top, so I just got a bunch of romaine lettuce at the end. The best part of my meal was the fries, which was crispy and fresh. Also, the fries were pretty generous. I think that the food was just average. Probably will not come back here but glad I came to check out what the hype was about.

    I enjoyed the flavor here. The salad, and the fries were my favorite. The chicken had a really good…read morecrunch and flavor as well. I was hoping to return to them, but it looks like they are temporary closed.

    Okay, here's the scoop. For over the last three years, my family and I have been passing by Jim…read moreDandy. Each time we passed by, it seemed like they were closed and or never answered their phone when we called to see if they were open. We kept telling each other one day we're going to stop by and see if they actually are open. So on Friday after exiting the freeway I made my way to Jim Dandy and saw folks going in and coming out. This location is in the middle of the hood. They have bulletproof windows once inside and this location is order and pickup, no dining available. I didn't see the menu until I was done with ordering. Which made it hard for myself. I seen the menu after I ordered. I walked out with 12 pieces of chicken regular not spicy. Corn fritters, macaroni salad, peach cobbler and a banana pudding. Once home we set up our table and began to devour our food. We were blown away with the chicken it is better than most places we have been to not saying any names. The pieces of chicken were huge fresh and crispy. The macaroni salad was just right amount of mayo and seasoning. The peach cobbler was wrapped perfectly not damaging the crust. The banana pudding was a little watery not sure if that was due to the heat going on in the bag as everything was bagged together. I immediately put it in refrigerator so it could get cold and become solid than running. I have no idea what there hours are next time I go in I'll ask or look for signs. There is plenty parking not that folks stay long. Food seems to come out in a timely manner. So parking comes and goes. I cannot wait to try there dirty rice and corn fritters without the powder sugar. I didn't get a photo of them as they got devoured.

What a great find. It's a counter-order, takeout-style spot, which was no problem at all. The service was solid. The guy who took my order also handled putting everything together, and you can tell when someone's on it--nothing was missing and everything came out right. I ordered a 3-piece, and it definitely hit the spot. The chicken was flavorful and satisfying, and the onion rings were just as good--crispy and delicious. I got there a little late, and it felt like a true local spot. Everyone was relaxed, just there for some really good fried chicken. No hype--just good food.

    Banana pudding has banana slices and vanilla wafers in the pudding. I wish California had more places that sold this.

I rushed to start my order and noticed it was an automatic charge for tip. Tipping for what? Tipping culture is out of hand.

    **I wish I could give this place zero stars.**…read more I *had* to take the time to write this because the reviews completely fooled me, and I don't want anyone else wasting their money like I did. I ordered the **three-piece tender & waffle combo** during their **BOGO promo** (buy one, get one free). Guess what I *didn't* get? The second order. So I basically paid **almost \$50** for THREE dry chicken tenders and TWO of the most tasteless, driest waffles I've ever had -- **not even a speck of butter** in sight. Surprised they even sent syrup, honestly. I got *re*-upset just now after seeing a tweet that said, *"When you see butter submerged in them waffle squares, you know you're about to have a 'outter body experience.'"* Well let me tell you I experienced the exact **opposite** of that. Dry, bland, and just disrespectful. It was the culinary equivalent of getting ghosted. I kept telling my boyfriend how excited I was to try this place, and I ended up apologizing for even suggesting it. Total flop. I also ordered the watermelon juice because the photos on DoorDash made it look fresh and good. What I got instead was straight-up nasty **some kind of fake watermelon flavor mixed with sugary syrup**. It tasted like **powdered watermelon and sugar water**, and you could literally *taste the syrup.* Completely false advertisement. And to make it all worse? That was supposed to be a chill, relaxing **Sunday morning**. You know, the kind of day where you treat yourself to something good. Instead, I started my day with frustration, wasted money, and dry waffles. **Not the vibe.** **Bottom line:** This place is *not* worth the hype. The good reviews are misleading, the food was NOT enjoyable, and the promo wasn't even honored. I will never order from here again, and I definitely won't be recommending it to anyone. Total disappointment.
