While in L.A., this location is a must if you are looking for soul food! This place is upscale and the place to be! Been hearing about this spot so we decided to stop by to check it out. A great looking place and pretty much looks like it's the place to be. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Fantastic. Grits hot, creamy and seasoned just right. Nice size shrimp added to the dish. The wife had the smothered fried chicken. Crispy and a great flavor from the gravy. The okra and Mac n cheese were some solid side dishes. Service was very friendly and made u feel like family and at home. Clean, music, just a great place to eat, have a drink and enjoy. read more

The vibe on Wednesday was nice and relaxing. Tunes were playing, conversations were flowing, and the food was delicious! The drinks were mixed really well and tasted great. Hubby got the chicken sandwich with fries and loved it! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I got the Caesar salad, which included baby spinach and arugula--it was very tasty. The best part was the sides: greens, red beans and rice, okra, and sweet potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious! Service was ok ! The server was nice but it took long to get alcohol read more

Found this place while looking for a waffle place. Parking was tough. Luckily, we found a spot that was 6 minutes away (walking). It was Sunday so meter parking was free. The line was pretty long. We opted to sit at the bar. For the bar, it was whatever open seats available. Once sat, the bartender came to assist. We got the 3 pieces dark chicken with 2 waffles. We also got the fried fish with corn bread and 2 fixins (fried collard greens & candied yams). The chickens were alright. Juicy! The only prob with the plate was having the chickens on top of the waffles. The waffles ended up being all smashed/mushed. The crunch was not there. The fried fish was fresh, but it was a bit too salty. The greens were salty as well. The corn bread with maple butter was yummy. Sitting at the bar was way too hot. We were somewhat melting. The back of the restaurant was a lot cooler. Service was good. read more

Got the fried chicken with candied yams and potato salad, smothered chicken with Mac & cheese and collard greens, fried green tomatoes, sweet tea. I think this might have been my first time soul food and it was one of the best experiences. The chicken was so crispy and juicy which tasted so good. There was quite a few fixins/sides you can choose from which was fun. The yams were my favorite since basically melted in my mouth and it wasn't overly sweet. I also tried a little bit of the smothered chicken and the gravy on top was tasty. The green tomatoes had a good crunch to it and was seasoned well. Will have to come back again read more

Absolutely some of the BEST soul food I've ever had! Now listen... my grandma made some AMAZING greens, so my standards are HIGH and Fixins' greens are damn near the same! That says A LOT! The chicken?! So, so, SO juicy, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. The red beans and rice? Easily a 10/10! Honestly, every single thing on my plate was a 10/10. Not one disappointment! This is REAL comfort food flavorful, filling, and made right. I will absolutely be back! Oh, and great customer service! Even on a busy weekend everyone was great! read more

Black owned soul food restaurants are the best. Makes me feel at home. I've come here several times and every single time I come it is packed! They have seating inside and outside. This time I came on a Sunday afternoon (right when church lets out) so the line was out the door. Also they had the World Cup finals game on so all of the tvs were on and it was loud and festive. Everyone was cheering when Spain made the final goal. I came for a girls day with my mom, sister, aunt, and cousins. We ordered a variety of dishes and drinks which included the adult koolaid, lemon drop, spiked pineapple palmer, pork chop, greens, Mac n cheese, sweet candied yams, red beans and rice, potato salad, fried fish entree, smothered chicken, fish n grits, chicken & waffles, shrimp gumbo. Everyone enjoyed their food. On this day I had the shrimp gumbo with greens and Mac n cheese on the side. It was all very good and huge portions. I wish they gave 2 cornbread with it b/c it was so tasty! I've had the chicken n waffles before and I think that's my absolute fave. We will definitely be back here because we just love it! Consistent soul food that does not disappoint. Shout out to our waitress Chassidy and the rest of the staff for being so friendly to our large party. read more

Great food and service with a wonderful DJ too. Right in the heart of downtown, you'll find Fixins Soul Kitchen! We ordered fried chicken with two sides (in our case-collard greens & okra or black eyed peas). Many other choices for sides too...Others chose tender looking oxtail or fried fish. Excellent choices for desserts such as peach cobbler, red velvet cake or ice cream sandwich. Lots of liquor choices including an exclusive whisky. read more

Soul food isn't typically known for having a lot of vegan options, so no surprise that there were just a couple to choose from. I ordered the blackened tofu, which was spicy and well-seasoned. The rice and corn complemented the meal nicely. I visited on a Saturday night, and there was a (loud) live DJ that gave the restaurant a party-like atmosphere but made it difficult for conversation. The wait staff was friendly yet rushed. I did appreciate the fun reimagined nostalgic advertisements that serves as wall art. read more

Fixins Soul Kitchen - Menu - Soul Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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 delicious, the staff were so nice, and the vibes were great! The place was packed but we didn't have to wait long. I ordered: - fried chicken: the best fried chicken I've had in a long time! So crispy, juicy and packed with flavor. - biscuit: delicious! Buttery and flakey. Not dry at all. The butter it comes with was so good! - Yams: so much flavor! - Mac and cheese: creamy and cheesy. Not watery at all. Perfect texture and flavor. - cobbler: so much flavor! Nice and warm. I wish there was more crust but other than that it was perfect. This was the best way to end the meal! I would definitely come back when in the area. read more

Fixin's absolutely lived up to the hype. The spicy chicken sandwich was fantastic, and adding the Kool-Aid pickle was such a fun, uniquely Southern touch. The deep-fried deviled eggs were good, but the real star of the meal was the collard greens. As someone from the South, I'm picky about my greens, and these were outstanding. I'll definitely be back. Great food, great vibe, and one of my favorite soul food spots in LA. Warning: it can get very crowded. Reservation recommended read more

Today is September 18, 2026. I ordered chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese. yams and collard greens and a muffin to go, from the fixin restaurant at 800 Olympic in Los Angeles. I am so disappointed the chicken tenders were refried, the macaroni and cheese was dry and I just waste my money. The food in LA at that restaurant is nothing like the food in Sacramento at the restaurant. In Sacramento, the food was fresh and good. I am so disappointed. To make a long story short will not be going back there. 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

He was kind, welcoming, & very attentive.

You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure his guests have a great experience, not just rushing through the service.

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

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

Fixins Soul Kitchen - 2 piece fried chicken with gravy and candied sweet potatoes. - Soul Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The chicken was incredibly fresh, juicy, and honestly some of the best chicken I've had. The grilled okra with bacon was the star of the plate--I'd never had okra prepared that way before, and it was delicious. This would easily be a five-star review, but it was extremely hot inside the restaurant. I'm not sure if the AC was out or if it was just the LA heat, but it made dining inside pretty uncomfortable. Other than that, the food was excellent and definitely worth coming back for! 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

Everyone at the table liked their food. Husband and uncle had fried fish, mother in law had shrimp n grits, I got gumbo. I was unsure about the gumbo bc I go to New Orleans often and always get gumbo. The amazing waitress allowed me to try it before committing. I did enjoy it - it certainly wasn't New Orleans, but it was good. The music was pretty loud, and it was packed. I highly suggest getting a reservation for a shorter wait time. read more

Looking for a place to eat before going to a play in Downtown LA can feel daunting especially if you are not from the area but yelp made it easy this time for us!

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. Some other food items friend ordered were smothered chicken, chicken and waffles, fried deviled eggs, and fried green tomatoes.

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!

We were downtown visiting the Grammy Museum and passed Fixins on our way out. We decided to grab a few starters to go because we had a few more stops to make. We had fish nuggets, corn muffins, and artichoke dip. We placed our order, went and took a quick peak at the Kobe statue (which happened to be right outside next door) and our order was ready in no more than 15 minutes. The fish nuggets were fried nicely (I would have preferred a little harder fry) and melted in your mouth, seasoned to perfection. I really enjoyed the tartar sauce, it was just something about it that isn't like your typical, that made it stand out. The corn muffins came with what looked like a homemade butter that went great with the muffins, making me feel like it was something from home. The star of the 3 for me, was that artichoke dip. It was full of actual artichokes, was a nice portion, and had a little kick. I almost ate the whole thing myself. I can't wait until I'm in town again to try out full plates from the rest of the menu. 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

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
