I enjoy coming to Granny's Kitchen, the food is always good to me. And take a day or 2 to finish. My favorite is the neckbones with rice and gravy, black eyed peas, macaroni and cheese, candied yams, meatloaf, just to name a few. lol The staff are nice and efficient, I cut up with Eric each time I see him there, he's a nice guy btw. I'll definitely be going again and again. read more

Nothing is ever the same twice. All of a sudden the greens are sweet now. The dressing has a sweetness now too. Fried chicken was made on the spot cuz they ran out so I think they forgot to season it. The cornbread wasn't mixed well before baking...I still liked it though cuz they tasted like the corn fritter things from el Torito. Mac was alright. It's usually baked but it was like they stirred it served it. It's kind that he hires people in desperate need of work but it would be best if they actually had kitchen & cooking & customer service experience. Imma try one more time & I hope the day I do the real Chef is back in the kitchen. I must say the young girl with freckles seems to be a hard worker & is very professional. read more

I've been going here for the past four years and the price point is good there food is consistent overall but there has been a couple of times where I've gone and things were a little different. Mac, cabbage, yams, fried chicken & turkey wing are my faves. The disadvantage is that since Covid they have no place for you to sit in the restaurant so you have to order and leave. The service I would give it 8 out of 10 particular people have better service than others here. Despite the minor hiccups, the place is a hidden gem and I'd recommend it if you're in the area to go check them out. read more

I try to give businesses the benefit of maybe it's a bad day. But this is the second time I came here and the workers were defensive. Today the owner told me I complain to much because I wanted to purchase cornbread that is listed as 3/$2.50 but was told that's not the price despite that being the price listed on the menu. So me saying you are supposed to honor the price listed. I said no problem and walked away but that was me complaining too much. I really liked this spot when they 1st opened but now not so much. I prefer to spend my money where customers are not bashed for speaking g up for themselves. read more

This place is mid not impressed came here on a Saturday one time it was closed for no reason. Decided to give them another try another day and was not impressed at all. They don't even be having a lot of options. There's a place by them I forgot the name that is much better and has better customer service. The person who runs their IG page and Google reviews are very rude. You should be inviting ppl to have a better experience not trying to argue and so rude things. ITS ALSO DIRTY! read more

I've gone back a couple of times for the pig feet. Once it wasn't available and this last time it was horrible! Not cooked all the way through; it truly needed a couple of more hours. Why wouldn't you just let your customers know it just wasn't ready to be served?! AND it was served without any gravy; dry as hell. I won't be back for anything. I just went on Monday, 9/16/24 read more

Food was mid. I was expecting better based on reviews from others. Maybe it was an off day, but the oxtails were chewy and not fall off the bone which I'm used to when my mom makes them. The Mac and cheese was real peppery and I didn't like that. The cabbage and customer service was good though. Thts why im giving 2 stars. Not worth the 30 dollars I spent read more

OMG....Paid $85 thru UberEats....for 1 small, DRY, overcooked pork chop, a fish fillet, a CUP of spaghetti, three sides, and a decent sized side of meatloaf. NEVER AGAIN....please forgive me, M&M's...I'll won't make the same mistake twice. read more

I was looking forward to trying the food I went yesterday service terrible and only 2 people working they overlap orders I waited 40 min for chicken a little pricey small portions for sides and the ultimate concern I got sick throwing up after eating tasted like spoiled gravy on the rice disgusting cabbage watery /nasty chicken no seasoning im very very disappointed overcharged for nasty food and I'm still throwing up I spent $40 and I threw it all out read more

Salty, salty, and salty, not good at all chicken tasted like it came out of old Grease mac and cheese was gross This is a honest review 2/10 read more

Hole in the wall - ghetto as fudge. Food extremely greasy and unhealthy. I will not be back.

Red snapper was too hard and Dry.... The pork chops were very small and tough, ended up chewing and spitting out a good amount. Chops were Supposed to be smothered, but only gravy was drizzled on top..... Rice in both meals was undercooked and tasteless. Also very stingy with the gravy on the rice. Macaroni and cheese and yams were cool. Prices and side order portions were cool. The didn't have dressing as on menu. read more

Well I finally made my way over to the place, after hearing all the hype. Quite frankly not sure why there is a big fuss cause I was disappointed. As you can see in the picture everything was dry and truly not what I expected. The pork chop was so salty I could not even finish it, the yams were so sweet I could not finish them, the stuffing was sweet and did not even taste or look like stuffing, the Mac n cheese was missing the cheese and the muffin was dry. I can't say I was even impressed with the presentation of other items but I can say that was my first and last visit. Not sure what happen, maybe it was just a bad day, but as a whole you guys have got to do better than this. read more

Food is delicious!!! Whenever my husband and I are in town we make a point to stop by and grab a plate or two! Forgive me for the picture posted. This was a Turkey wing, cornbread muffin with rice & gravy. I originally wanted cranberry sauce but they were out so I settled for the muffin. It got devoured 20minutes after receiving it! Not too salty not too bland but seasoned just right! Picture speaks for itself. Absolutely delicious! read more

Some of their food items are very good!! However, the gravy they smother the pork chops in is horrendous!!!

I ordered a pig feet dinner with yams, dressing and black eye peas. The pig feet were not tender enough. The dressing was strange tasting. The yams and black eyed peas were delicious. read more

Been coming to the soul food place for a couple years now with no problems. But lately their customer service has been horrible and when I as a customer have a complaint about the customer service they always make the customers seem like they're the one who is wrong. This horrible service has happen more than once. The food is tasty so this isn't an issue. The issues for me are, lack of organization with the front end workers they hire. They have been through many workers. This day was no different with another worker they've hired. I made a complaint to the owner directly, then i was asked to leave and told by the owner to his front end worker " don't serve her" "put that back". Asked the owner why not train the worker to be more professional as customers don't know what selections of vegetable side are offered or not. The owner replied "you're reaching"! Hmm. Nevertheless, this is minor to me. The issue with Granny's Kitchen is the poor customer service. So much for supporting a black owned food place located in the south east of Los Angeles. Black owned has a stigma of providing horrible customer service. This black owned business is no different unfortunately. This is inappropriate behavior as business owners. Would like to give them a zero star rating for their customer service. read more

Damn this place is amazing!!!! I got the lunch special two pieces of fried chicken, Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes w/ gravy! It was the best soul food I had aside from my wife's families food. Bomb! And the ladies making it were sweet like my in laws read more

Granny's Kitchen Southern Style Soul Food - Soul Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I forgot to take pictures but this place is bomb. It's the food your granny used make. We got four dinners and a peach cobbler. Mac n cheese, fire, greens-fire, meatloaf, fire , neckbones also fire. Everything was good except the corn muffins which were burnt on the bottom but the tops were pretty good. I was in the area and I wanted to try th place for a Sunday dinner. It good enough to be worth the drive. Parking is not good. I parked in the red on the street. Last thing the customer service was also very good. Definitely worth a try. read more

Don't get me wrong! The people/employees are polite. But this is the second time that I come to this place and leave empty handed the first time I went they didn't have fried chicken cause their machine was broken. & Now I come and they don't have collard greens because they're about to close in an hour. But they mentioned they run out of the collar greens at 3 PM. I'm just not convinced this place will go on and beyond. read more

Legit just left this place and I won't return. So unprofessional, as I patiently waited in line to order my food a guy comes in and one of the ladies went straight to his service as if I wasn't standing there. I wanted Mac and cheese and she kept mentioning how she had to make it last but she let him cut and offered to give him the Mac and cheese I was going to order and when I finally was noticed she offered me the crumbs of the Mac and I politely declined. First time and I'm rating it 0 because what company does that... truly irritated btw she's the one with the glasses.. I also traveled from Long Beach because I was told they were so good read more

The Worst Soul Food I Tried by far smh,the fried chicken had no seasoning,the greens were watery,the cornbread was plain and the black eye peas were the worst out of all the sides and it wasn't worth the $50 I spent read more

I give this place 5 stars . Great food and atmosphere and Nakeya has great customer service. Definitely will be my go to soul food place when visiting LA read more

Reviewed as one of the best Soul Food kitchens in LA County, we just had to stop by and check out what's cookin' at Granny's Kitchen! You won't find any stock being used, according to Eric Lewis, they make every individual meat with its own seasoning, from ribs, to meatloaf, fried chicken, oxtail and more, you really can't go wrong with any selection! The oxtail is incredible! Very savory, the meat is so tender it falls off the bone. The fried chicken is juicy, golden brown and crispy! For the sides we picked the mac and cheese, greens and sweet potatoes were all amazing! Everything here is made from scratch, even the kool-aid and desserts! If you're looking for a meal truly fit for the soul, you gotta stop by Granny's! read more

I wasn't able to get photos because I was hungry but I just moved to LA from Atlanta and was having a VERY hard time finding a good soul food place. We just do it different down south. I've been to the more popular soul food restaurant here and did not like it at all. The owners are from Arkansas and not from here so I was pretty excited about that. Lol Soul food restaurants here tend to have good meat and not so good sides. Granny's kitchen has both good meat and sides. I got the Woman's feast which included two meats, three sides and two cornbread muffins for like $19.99. The meats I got were fried chicken and neck bones and those were great! My sides were black eyed peas, Mac and cheese, and cabbage . I will admit the the sides were a bit salty (hence the four stars instead of five) but still edible. My fiancé got some yams and they were GREAT! So far this has been the BEST soul food I've had in LA. I'll keep y'all updated:) read more

I am absolutely pleased with my order at Granny's kitchen. I got a veggie plate, yams mac & cheese greens, beans and it came with cornbread and I ordered Kool-Aid. Everything is good. Greens and beans were a salty . Will definitely come back every time I'm in the area good customer service and I'm just happy to have some good soul food where everything taste good not just one. read more

Delicious food prepared with love. Meal size portions. Good selection of sides, greens, cabbage (they will mix cabbage &greens), succotash, mashed potatoes, candied yams, string beans, Lima beans. Some of the meat choices, fried,baked or bbq chicken, turkey wings, meatloaf, oxtails, neck bones, meals come with cornbread. They have cobbler, cake and banana pudding, kool-aid, sweet tea also. All the employees are congenial and ERIC makes sure there is consistency in the taste. ERIC has a food truck 5041 Tree Hill Pl - San Bernardino . read more

I come here for the smothered oxtails , I haven't been here in about 3 years but the price was good and the koolaid oh the koolaid is oh so delicious . One of the best soul food oxtails in LA . read more

Firstly.. Lets just say that the parking is really, really tight here. You may have better luck at the supermarket lot next door, like i did. Just be careful not to take too long, or people might get angry. Aside from that, I made sure to get there ten minutes before opening, and by then there was already a line formed. I wasn't bothered at all by this, and actually felt encouraged, because that meant the food had to be awesome. I even had a good time waiting, chatting with a bunch of the ladies there and asking what was good. When I told them i was there for the chitlins, I definitely got some looks. But I figured that was a general reputation for when they aren't cleaned right, because mine had no smell. My main reason for wanting to try this place out was because i wanted to compare my chitins to someone with an authority on them. Someone with experience and know-how. When they finally opened about ten minutes past the time listed on the door, the line moved swiftly enough. They offered hand sanitizer at a small table inside while you wait. It was fun trying to read all the scribbles and names on the walls. I thought it was charming, and got really excited to see THE Granny in the kitchen.. The one who's face is on the sign and menu. If felt like i was seeing a celebrity. A no nonsense looking kinda lady, shaking spices and hotsauce over a big hotel pan in the back. Its exactly what I had hoped to see. And the staff was really pleasant. A tall gentleman in an apron cut the chitlins right over the pot as he was getting ready to serve them. Details that honestly made me happy to see. And the lovely woman who took my payment and bagged up my order was really nice as well. She seemed happy that i wanted to try the peach cobbler, but didnt mind that I turned down the offer of kool-aid that came with the lunch special. To reiterate what i had ordered, in total: Chitlins, Greens, Mac N Chz, and the Peach cobbler. It also came with a cornbread muffin. So.. Let me start off by saying that I really wanted to like this place. I drove all the way from OC/HB area because I wanted to try soul food done right.. At least, what i thought that meant. And Im sorry to say I feel pretty let down. The mac was overcooked, the greens were mushy and watery, the cornbread was dry, and the chitlins stank to high heaven. I was only able to get two bites in while holding my nose before i gave up. The taste itself was.. Almost okay, if not overbearingly over-seasoned in an attempt to cover up the smell. Even if it wasnt what i thought it was going to be, i definitely still learned the dark side of chitlins. Chitlins can be bomb, but this aint it. I did finish the mac n cheese (who wouldnt?), but the only thing I really enjoyed was the peach cobbler. The crust was tasty and the peaches were sweet. But all in all, it's not enough to get me to want to come back. Which is a shame, because everyone that works there and that comes to dine there are super nice. read more

When I pulled up to Granny's Kitchen for the first time, after driving from Orange County, and saw the picture of Granny.... I already knew. All the food looked fresh, smelled fresh, and was fresh. I came on a mission specifically for some catfish. But I ended up also getting dressing, cranberry sauce, greens, macaroni, yams, and sweet corn, corn bread, and some perfect purple Kool-aid. Everything. Was. Amazing. There's no real soul food places in Orange County. With the food being as good as it was the drive was well worth it. Besides the food, my experience would not have been what it was without the chef Tria. Fantastic customer service! Her wonderful personality is contagious and she is so funny and fun to talk to!!! You can tell that she loves her job and cares about customers leaving happy and satisfied... I hope that someday SOON there will be a Granny's Kitchen in OC and that Tria will be there! read more

Dear god I can't believe I forgot to update this. I had come back on another occasion for the fried catfish and I believe that the meal alone taught me the true meaning of a food coma (something I thought could only happen on Thanksgiving). You'd be a fool not to try this place out, staff have been so friendly both visits it was almost like we already knew each other. I really can't stress it enough how genuine their service and quality is, coming from OC I honestly don't know many soul food kitchens near me (if any exist), it was worth the trip to LA twice and I will most definitely be back if I'm in the area again anytime soon. read more

If I could give this place a zero I would!!!! This was the nastiest, most disgusting this i've ever eaten in my 47 years of life! I went here yesterday and spent $78 and everything was only season with salt. It's a wonder the people that work there don't have high blood pressure. I made the comment on their Instagram and they deleted it so if you want real reviews look at yelp not their Instagram. If their granny is the one taught them how to cook she shouldn't teach anyone else! Actually, I think they're granny probably died from all the salt they use in the food. read more

I can get a better cheaper breakfast from Jimmies Egg , thought I would try this out , it was good but way to expensive.
