Was my first time here Friday brunch-ish. I had the fried chicken with two "fixins". The fried chicken was delicious (just a delicate hint of 'hot' spice) and fried to juicy perfection. The coleslaw was tasty and crisp and the cornbread, soft and warm with a hint of spicy sweet flavor-- served with a whipped, slightly spicy-sweet flavored butter. The potato salad was ordinary. But 3 outta four exceptionally delicious ain't bad. I always feel I'm being particular but I always ask for one cup of Diet Coke with ice, one cup of water with ice, and one cup with just ice. My request was met with a smile. and our waitress monitored my classes for a quick refill when I was ready for it. Very friendly and professional service! read more

I had previously tried Fixins Soul Kitchen as part of a company luncheon and enjoyed it so much that I convinced my family to come with me because I wanted them to experience how great it was. Unfortunately, after our experience on the holiday evening, it may be a while before I give it another chance. First, I want to say that every staff member we encountered was genuinely pleasant. Our server was kind, apologetic, and clearly doing her best. The problem wasn't the attitude of the staff, it was that the restaurant was completely overwhelmed and simply not prepared for the holiday rush. Not ready at all. We were seated at 9:04 PM and didn't place our order until around 9:20 PM because it took that long just to get drink orders taken. Wanting to avoid any further delays, we ordered everything at once. Our meals arrived around 9:42 PM, which seemed reasonable, except my daughter's meal never came out. We informed our server and were repeatedly told it was "on the way." Fifteen minutes later, still nothing. We began sharing our food with our daughter so she could eat with us. We asked again and again, receiving apologies each time, but no meal. By 10:25 PM--more than an hour after ordering--my daughter's plate finally arrived. By then everyone else had already finished eating and were simply waiting while she rushed to eat alone. Thinking we were finally nearing the end, I requested our bill and ordered two slices of red velvet cake to go. Surely that wouldn't take long. Wrong again. While waiting, another large table from the East Coast asked to speak with a manager and described their own frustrating experience with delayed orders and lack of assistance. When the manager returned, I simply asked if we could please get our two slices of cake so we could leave. He apologized and went to retrieve them. It took 25 minutes to get 2 slices of cake and possibly longer if I had not stopped the manager. We finally walked out more than two hours after being seated, having spent most of that time waiting rather than enjoying our meal. To make matters worse, going a few minutes beyond the two-hour mark triggered another hour of parking charges, making an already expensive evening even more frustrating. I feel bad because I had built this place up so much to my family, and their first experience was disappointing. I know holiday crowds can be difficult, and I truly appreciate the staff members who remained courteous throughout the night, but management seriously underestimated the demand and the customer experience suffered because of it. I hope Fixins can address these issues because I'd like to remember the restaurant for its food and hospitality and not for spending two hours mostly waiting to be served. I had to take pics of my daughter with her head down on the table waiting on her food. Happy to share them privately. read more

Fixins Soul Kitchen is a fantastic restaurant near Crypto.com Arena and the LA Convention Center. I came on a weekend lunch and it was packed. I tried the three piece fried chicken and the fried fish entrees. Both came with two fixin's (sides), in addition to cornbread / hush puppies or biscuitsI highly recommend the grits and okra with bacon. The flavors were on point in all aspects, and the meal was well balanced. Best of all is the good portions for the price point. The decoration inside is worth reading, featuring soul-food related comments pertaining to products like Wonder bread and Quaker Oats. The service was friendly, hand working, and attentive. Nothing unique, but a great execution. read more

The food was so amazing that I had dinner here twice within the span of 3 days! The food is absolutely phenomenal. I had both the fried fish and fried chicken entrees. Both were so tasty, well-seasoned and tender. The two entrees paired well with the mac & cheese and candied yams. Every bite was heaven! The portion size is so generous that I had leftovers to take home. Our servers were friendly and funny. Whoever curates the playlist for the restaurant, has amazing taste in music! Overall, a fun casual spot with loud (but tasteful) music, and amaaazing food! I would certainly recommend making a reservation to eat here because they are always packed around dinner time. On our second night, they wouldn't seat us until our whole party arrived. read more

This soulfood restaurant was a pleasant surprise after a Sparks game. We ordered the Mac and cheese and fried catfish bites. While we didnt explore many items on the menu the testament to the quality of the food was the fact that the place was filled with a wait at 10pm! What we did order was delicious. Our server was nice. Nothing spectacular but the manager was very friendly and greeted guests as if he was welcoming you into his own home. The decor was super cute. It was black owned and proudly showcased black owned whiskey and wines on the menu. I love the mix of culture, good food and a Playlist full of bops. Two claps, two snaps and 4 stars for fixins!

This place was delicious! We tried literally a little bit of everything, it was all delicious. My favorite were the bourbon wings, the fish nuggets, the coleslaw (which was vinaigrette based and not mayo based), and the oxtail. The fried deviled eggs and the fried green tomatoes were also surprisingly good since I've never had either before. The portion size for everything was just right. They do have several gourmet cocktails and I tried the PYT with a butterfly blue and butterfly peas - it was really the color changing effect I was after. It was great, not too terribly sweet and just the right strength. They also have a full wine list from Black wineries - so I'm a huge fan of that. Our server was fantastic and everyone that helped us was also incredibly kind. We went on a Friday early evening and it was relatively busy, but it wasn't insanely loud. The ambiance was perfect for us. It was my mom's birthday and she had a great time. The wall decor was hilarious and fit the restaurant perfect. We love that it's Black owned. It was a bit far out for us, but if we were ever in the mood for good soul food outside the South, I'd definitely go here. read more

The service was excellent. We were seated quickly, and everything felt smooth from the start. Our server was amazing she took our drink orders right away, and the drinks came out fast. The frosty glass jugs made them look extra cold and refreshing. When it was time to order, our food came out hot and ready. The greens had a nice kick, just how I like them. The mac and cheese was well-seasoned and cheesy, the yams were sweet and buttery, and the chicken was hot, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. The presentation of the plates was very well done everything looked just as good as it tasted. And their hot sauce? So good! We took some food to go, and it was packaged nicely. We also ordered red velvet cake to-go, and even after a 3-hour trip home, it was still amazing. The frosting was smooth and velvety, and the cake was moist, soft, and full of that classic red velvet flavor. I highly recommend eating here you will not be disappointed. The soul food tastes exactly how it should. The atmosphere is inviting, family-friendly, and the service is top-tier. read more

I've heard a lot of good things about this place! I made the mistake of coming as a walk-in on Juneteenth, luckily the staff took care of us & told us it would be an hour wait but we got seated in 10 minutes! I was surprised! I was in awe of the whole scenery and ambience, the music is such a vibe and the staff were very welcoming with smiles on their faces. Also, the drink sizes?! SO BIG! I LOVE IT! Food came in within 10 minutes as well which was surprising again considering it was packed. It was sooo fresh and sooo yummy. 100% recommend their cornbread and Mac n cheese. I can't wait to add this to the list of my new favorite places. Thank you guys for making my Juneteenth special! read more

Fresh off the plane and feeling ravenous. Friends had mentioned this spot so I was eager to check it out. Planned to get the fried chicken but when I saw tofu on the menu how could I resist! Never seen that a soul food spot before . Two large pieces arrived seasoned on a bed of rice with corn, peppers and onions . By many Southern palates the rice would have been considered unseasoned ... but was perfect for me! Got so full after that entree and too many sips of my humungous mason jar filled with Coke that I ordered dessert to go. Once back in the room, I let the slice get room temperature and was pleasantly surprised at how moist it was.Additionally, the frosting looked so snow white that I just knew it would be fake tasting . Wrong! It was sweet now but tasted quite well. Will certainly return next time I'm in LA! read more

I stopped by Fixins before heading to LAX as I had a bit of time to kill and had a hankering for some soul food. I wasn't sure what to expect since this is a celebrity restaurant, but I'm glad I stopped by! I ordered the two-piece fried chicken plate with two sides--I chose okra and collard greens. It comes with complimentary cornbread and what I believe is a blueberry butter. I also ordered a Diet Coke. The chicken was really good. Crispy on the outside without too heavy of a batter, and super juicy on the inside. They also noticeably season the batter, and with the Fixins in-house hot sauce on it the chicken really smacked! The okra and collard greens were both pretty good, too. Not the best of either dish that I've ever had in my life, but definitely above average in terms of flavor, texture, and overall cook. The cornbread and blueberry butter were also pretty solid. The interior and atmosphere kind of reminds me of a Chili's type setup, or a BJ's, but the vibes inside from the staff and patrons are good. If you're looking for some good soul food in the heart of LA, Fixins is a pretty solid choice. read more

At 1 PM on a Monday tables inside Fixins were full but we were seated quickly at a patio table and given menus. A few minutes later a server arrived to take our orders. I ordered the fish sandwich with a side of collard greens. My friends ordered: Chicken (drumstick & thigh) & Waffles; Chicken (breast & wing) plate with two sides. We enjoyed the flavorful seasoned entrees and finished our lunch by sharing a very sweet peach cobbler. I would happily return to eat soul food at Fixins. The location is very convenient after or before visiting the Grammy Museum next door. Although parking is expensive at LA live, there is a self park lot on W. Olympic Blvd for all day parking for $15 using a pay machine. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here! We came on a Friday evening. Definitely make a reservation because this place gets busy! It was my first time so I ordered the two piece chicken meal that comes with two sides and a biscuit or cornbread muffin. I opted for the yams, collard greens, and biscuit. Everything was a 10/10! The chicken was juicy, crispy, and well seasoned. The yams were sweet and soft. The collard greens were soft and well seasoned. The biscuit was soft and fluffy and came with some delicious berry butter. Others in my party had the oxtails, fried deviled eggs without bacon, and the fish sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their meals!

He wanted to come here and I'm a fan of soul food so we headed over. Sat on the patio to enjoy some sights as well. We both selected the fried fish which is a catfish and came with corn fritters and two Fixins (sides). I chose the charred okra with bacon and the black eyed peas. The server asked if the corn fritters were ok and we were fine with having them. They were like hush puppies with corn in them. The fried fish was delicious, lightly breaded and not salty. The fish was moist and sweet. So good! The charred okra with bacon was alright. I think fried okra would have been my preference but the bacon was really good. The black eyed peas were a nice side. He chose candied yams and mac and cheese. He liked them both. Server was so friendly and attentive. The meal was great and I would definitely want some of that fish again.

I'd been hearing great things about Fixins Soul Kitchen for years so I finally went. The atmosphere was really good, lively and bustling in the way a soul food spot should be.

Like genuinely cold. There is no way something made to order comes out that cold. The fish batter was okay but the black eyed peas were way too salty.

I was a bit worried how food would be since the reviews were hit or miss on Yelp but surprisingly I really enjoyed my food! I ordered the fried fish with collard greens, Mac n cheese and cornbread($25). I also ordered a Langstons lavender lemon drop($18). Both my drink And food were delicious.

Fixins Soul Kitchen - 3 piece chicken and 2 waffles - Soul Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I finally made it to Fixins Soul Kitchen, and as someone who takes her soul food seriously, I went in hoping it would hit in the seasoning department -- and I'm happy to say it definitely had flavor. Food I ordered the 3-piece fried chicken with collard greens and mac & cheese. First things first -- everything was seasoned, which was my biggest concern. The fried chicken had great flavor, the collard greens were solid, and the cornbread muffin with brown butter? Absolutely enjoyed that part of the meal. Now, let's talk mac & cheese. It was creamy, cheesy, and well-seasoned -- but I could taste the roux (the flour base). In a perfect execution, you shouldn't detect the flour at all. It felt like it either needed to cook a bit longer or be more thoroughly incorporated into the cheese sauce. The flavor was there, but the texture and finish just weren't fully developed. One downside: my meal came out lukewarm, which was disappointing because temperature matters with comfort food. Soul food should come out hot and hugging you back. We also ordered the shrimp and grits, and that dish was creamy, seasoned, and delicious. Definitely a standout. ‍ Service This place is popular -- reservations are pretty much a must. They host a lot of events and draw people from all over, so it stays busy. Despite that, the staff was exceptional and very attentive to my guest and me. No complaints there. Ambience I sat outside on the patio under the overhead heat lamps. They definitely work -- almost too well because I got a little hot. The only drawback outside is that the tables are pretty close together. I could hear a full first-date conversation next to us (including the awkward moment when the woman ended up paying ). It made things feel a little cramped and less intimate. Inside, there are larger tables for bigger groups and a bar where you can order as well. The lighting is low but still bright enough to see your food -- not romantic, but more of a relaxed dinner vibe. Overall: The flavors are there, and the service is strong. However, the temperature of the food and some execution details held it back for me. I'd come back and give it another try -- especially for the shrimp and grits -- but for now, it's a solid 4/5. If you're craving seasoned soul food in LA and don't mind a lively, busy atmosphere, it's worth checking out. read more

Seems like the menu shrunk, but it could just be me. I haven't been back here for almost 3 years after we heard about the violence that happened. But it still gets extremely busy so definitely recommend a reservation. The food is really, really good if you like soul food and you're OK with over sweet and over salty but ultimately you get extremely good. Time to put all the health checks out the door! The portion size is pretty well balanced for the cost. I tried the black and tofu this time and it's actually spicy if you like spice because it is seasoned the southern way for the tofu... almost like sprinkles of red pepper and blackened. very good with the rice pilaf. The service was impeccable and attentive, even though they were so busy. I have a hunch they're used to this type of crowd. Our sweet tea got filled up really quickly as well as ice water to combat the over salt. I'm not salty about that, all puns intended. It got really packed close to the game hour so definitely recommend coming here early like three hours before the game! read more

Recently visited after attending a Sparks game. Thankfully I made reservations because it was extremely crowded on a Sunday. My family and I were seated within a reasonable time frame. The staff worked quickly and efficiently to manage the crowd, checking in customers and getting people seated at their table. Our Server Connor showed up to our table right away. He was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. He moved quickly and made sure that our orders were put in as quickly as possible. Our food came out super fast and I was surprised because it was crowded. All of the dishes were served piping hot and the ingredients tasted fresh and as if the dishes were made to order. The ambiance was very lively and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and definitely plan to come back in the near future. My one and only note is that the music in the restaurant was a bit too loud. It made it hard to talk to whomever you were with and just resulted in everyone talking over one another which made it louder. Highly recommend for delicious food and excellent service. read more

I had never been to a soul food restaurant before. I was happy with the layout of choices they had to eat. I kept it simple and wanted their fried chicken with fries and Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was seasoned with Cajun flavor but not strong enough to struggle with. I enjoyed it as it was perfectly cheesy. The chicken was great as they gave me a chicken breast and wing to manage. The fries were really good and gave me plenty to eat. Very crispy and seasoned lightly. My partner had the chicken sandwich and a massive amount of fries that she didn't finish, but i did the next day. Her and her friend enjoyed a banana bread pudding in a mason jar. It looked great and they topped that off well. All of our drinks came in large mason jars and I had their lemonade. It was good and brought my whole entree together. The service is great for a spot that has changed ownership and names over the years. It was crowded so I'm assuming this spot will remain popular. read more

Best pre-game/show dinner--online reservations eligible, strong yummy cocktails, flavorful food that'll get you full so that you don't have to eat at your event. I got the Lavender Lemon Drop, sweet drink for the girlies. My mom got the PYT, which was a lot stronger than mine and also had a fun color changing aspect to it. The fried chicken was sooo crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned. They give you the option of white meat, dark meat, or mixed also. For my two sides, I got the Mac & Cheese (creamy, loved it) and the Coleslaw (dry, just okay). Absolutely loved the biscuit AND had to add the cornbread muffin. So soft and moist. The fried fish was good too, very well-seasoned and crispy. Wish it came with two pieces of fish though since it's so thin. I wouldn't get the gumbo again, it was just underwhelming to me given how good the other food was. Overall, would definitely come back for the fried chicken and cornbread. I really appreciate the online reservation option and the fast, friendly service. read more

I found this place on accident. We were on our way to the Laker game but wanted to grab a bite to eat before entering the Crypto arena. We were in the LA Live business district restaurant area but noticed there were long wait times at the surrounding restaurants. We happen to see this restaurant through the glass windows. No wait time so we took our chances to try something new. We were greeted by the front hostess. She asked us if we wouldn't mind sitting at the outside patio, since there is no wait time to get seated. We took advantage of the situation. Once seated, ordered from the happy hour menu. Happy hour is from 3pm to 6pm. Prices were excellent. Order some wine, cocktails and main entrees. We ordered all at once since we were on a time schedule. Ordered Smothering Fried chicken with Greens, regular fried chicken with Okras and Grits. We selected dark meat for both of the fried chicken entrees. We received everything within a 15 to 20 minute time frame. Took a bite of the fried chicken as well of the sides that we chose. OMG! The taste of fried chicken was moist and the sides were delicious!! Not dissapointed at all. I will definitely come back! If you are in LA LIVE, dont sleep on this place. The food is superb! Service was excellent. Clean establishment. Restrooms are clean and the vibe is comfortable. SOUL FOOD Lived up to the hype. KUDOS to the food and customer service. read more

My friend and I came here to celebrate our birthdays together. This restaurant is located at La Live so it's guaranteed to be packed with people and the parking is quite expensive, but limited in the area unless you find free street parking. Luckily, we made a reservation ahead of time and were seated immediately. Staff were all attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself was also packed on a Sunday! They also play gospel music and have a DJ during the early afternoon. The food was pretty good and price point is definitely consistent with the area it's in! Definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving some soul food. Food/drink review: I forgot the names of the cocktails we got, but all delicious!! They didn't miss with the dranks! Fried deviled eggs: (2/5) These were not what I expected. They had good texture but no flavor. Wouldn't order again. Catfish nuggets: (5/5) These were my favorite! Great flavor, texture, and great sharing portions for an appetizer. The dipping sauces were delicious. 2 piece plate: (3/5) I ordered the 2 piece chicken with red beans and rice and collard greens. Chicken had good crunch, but was dry on the inside. The red beans and rice were just Ok in my opinion and the greens definitely needed hot sauce or more seasoning. Fish entree: (4/5) Fried fish with candied yams and Mac and cheese. The candied yams were actually delicious! The Mac and cheese was okay. Fish was bomb! I'd definitely order fish next time. Red velvet cake: (3/5) I wanted to love it because red velvet is my favorite, but it was not good. It lacked flavor and was very plain. Would not order. Peach cobbler: (3/5) Again, on of my favorite desserts especially with the vanilla bean ice cream! But I was unimpressed. It was lacking the crust/texture that I love so much. Would not order again. Cornbread: (5/5) Bombbbbbb with the butter! read more

LA live was crazy, and while the wait at most other places was an hour, we found some bar seats at the back of this joint! Started out with a local draft and a kool-aid, and ordered the pimento cheese dip. It was served hot, which was not expected, and with tortilla chips. Good, but not traditional. For my entree I opted for the 2 piece and a waffle... perfectly crunchy (thighs) sitting on a thin waffle. The chicken deflated the waffle which sopped up the juices. Served with syrup and a nice scoop of butter. Ambiance is rustic country, service was prompt and friendly, and prices are in line with the touristy area... I was torn between several menu items, so if we are back here, we are back! read more

FIXINS SooOoOuLLLLLL KitchennNnNNnN! *The Three Degrees voices* IYKYK! Every time I'm promoting and/or have a gig around this area, I always walk by this place! One of the coolest memories I have is with NXT/WWE Wrestler: Trick Williams and I in front of this place just having a ball after WaleMania BEFORE he became a multi World Champion for NXT, TNA and future WWE world title holder & Hall of Famer! Recently, the wifey & I ended up having a nice random date here because of all them times I passed by here because I always wanted to finally try it with her. She ended up getting a nice Spiked Pineapple Palmer for her drink, made and served by the awesome bartender Justin. As for food, we both got their damn delicious fried chicken, yams, Mac & cheese, biscuits, cornbread and collard greens, recommended by the amazing Mackenzie! Soooo damn good for not being cooked at home! Seriously! You just have to personally try them to fully understand how much I love them! We've tried other restaurants that had soul food like this and there just wasn't no damn soul to it like FIXINS puts into it! Very very delicious all around. As for the atmosphere & ambiance, it's pretty damn loud, but in a great, lively way. Such a positive, welcoming vibe every time all around from everybody, including the customers. What's crazy too is that Trick Williams story is just another example of how legendary this spot is because we were told that the legendary Stevie Wonder once ate here as well! I've seen so many other musical artists and random celebs and athletes popping here because it's right next to Staples Center/Crypto and Novo; so naturally, you will have people who are working gigs or games stopping by because of how great everything is here. Thank you again to Justin & Mackenzie, who both made our experience such a great one. It makes us want to come back even more to try the rest of the stuff on their menu! read more

Fixins Soul Kitchen - Fried fish with potatoe salad snd yams - Soul Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped in here during a conference in LA because my soul was tired and demanded comfort food. What I did not expect was a full-blown spiritual awakening via Southern cuisine. My colleague and I shared the oxtail and rice, fried chicken, and fried green tomatoes--and listen... every bite was doing the absolute most (in the best way). Tender, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, crispy where it should be crispy, soulful where it should be soulful. Every little shred of meat was tangled up in flavors that clearly knew what they were doing. No confusion. No wrong notes. Just hit after hit. The service? Fantastic. Warm, welcoming, and made us feel like we were exactly where we were supposed to be. I love that we wandered in here completely by accident and left full, happy, and emotionally supported by fried food. 10/10 delicious experience. My conference badge didn't deserve this level of joy. read more

My group ordered a few different cocktails, pimento dip, friend green tomatoes, and typical southern foods. Everyone's plates were empty and the service was exceptional. It's a very busy place, so definitely make a reservation! read more
