    donuts and drinks
    James A.

    Serving up Louisiana style fried chicken in the LA area, Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken has over 100 locations throughout the US, though none in Louisiana itself. Our group of four had a chance to stop by for an early dine-in dinner, and found the chicken to well prepared and tasty. Originally founded in 1976 in Los Angeles by a enterprising franchisee who wanted to create his own fast food brand, Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken soon became very popular with LA residents. As sometimes happens with immigrant communities by word of mouth and 'paying it forward', the burgeoning Cambodians began to be the majority owners of franchisees, until it resulted in the brand being sold to a Cambodian in 2009. Considering the largest concentration of Cambodians outside of Cambodia is in Long Beach, California, I wanted to try this particular location. They also sell donuts here, and my credit card bill actually listed the donut shop as the vendor...this for me is not a selling point, but was not noticeable during our visit. It's a walk-up set-up, where you order/pay for your food through security windows. We ordered a 12-piece family combo for $35.45, which included 3 pieces of breast/thigh/wing/leg, 2 small orders of fries, a coleslaw and 6 rolls. They also sell fried catfish and shrimp, so got a 4 pc shrimp ($3.85). They only sell drinks by cans or bottles, so got 4 cans of Coke/Pepsi/Squirt. It is clearly stated that each order is fried fresh, taking about 20 minutes. Our order was ready in 15 minutes, and we decided to dine-in (a small makeshift outdoor dining area with temporary tables was set-up). The chicken was well brined and had been fried well (leaving plenty of space between the chicken), with the outer coat being crunchy with a little bit of spice. For me it tasted very similar to the popular national chain, but with more consistency. The 'small' fries were not that at all, but very large...with one being enough to feed the four of us. The fries looked underdone, but were not. There were no condiments available, so the saving grace was the thin hot sauce that you could dip your fries and chicken into. The rolls were forgettable, and the coleslaw was grocery store quality (which I actually like). In fact, the chicken and sides reminded me of what you could get at a grocery store deli, except always getting the chicken fresh, instead of ones that have been fried too many to a basket and sitting too long under a heat lamp. Freshness definitely matters here. There was plenty of food for the 4 of us, with us taking half of the meal home. It reheated very well, providing us a good lunch the following day.

    Chicken in a paper bag with soggy, half cooked fries. The fries were inedible. I ate 2 or 3 to make sure.

    This is not a great place. It was presented like trash in a greasy brown bag, sadly. The fries were piping hot but undercooked and soggy. Totally inedible. It takes a long time, but they do seem to cook it fresh. Sadly, it's not very good. The swai was the high point and we got a 5 piece but it was so salty that my tongue hurts. It's pretty rough around the edges, most people seem to take food to go. I'm not sure I'd go back. Wish it were a black owned place, I was missing New Orleans and good Southern Food.

    This is the best Louisiana fried chicken location in my opinion. The fried chicken is seasoned really well and is always made fresh to order. The skin is so crispy and the meat is very juicy. I like to get the chicken breast and tenders. I also like the fries here. It is crispy, delicious and has cajun seasoning. The prices are reasonable too. They have party sizes, which is great and affordable for parties/potlucks. They also serve fried fish, shrimp and sandwiches/burgers. Other than the fried chicken and fries,, I've only tried their fried shrimp, which was also good. If you order at the restaurant, you'll wait about 15-20 minutes for fried chicken, so I suggest calling in your order to avoid the wait.

    Good food. Open air and lots to choose from the menu. Great for groups too. The lady who took my order was egficient and friendly.

    Local spot in the neighborhood to pick up something good when I don't feel like cooking or just have a craving for some fried fish and shrimp. Breading is well seasoned with a mild kick and not overly breaded. I know many people come for the chicken, but I like their fried fish and shrimp. They can get busy at times, but when you order, they usually tell you how long the wait can be. There are seats and tables to eat outdoors, but I usually just take my order home. You can also order ahead by phone to speed up the process of waiting when you get there.

    I have to say, was so convenient and surprised to be able to order fried chicken at approx 9am during my lunch break and they was taking order on the phone so when you arrived, it will be ready. Loved it, life saver. Im a huge fan of fried chicken. I will literally stop by any place I see serving fried chicken just to try them out. The bonus part, they served donuts and coffee for the morning risers. Their prices are fair to the other locals. Selection is amazing, with a display right in front. They have outdoor/indoor sitting if you just want to sit and enjoy some hot, freshly made donuts . Delicious and soft, yummy . Breakfast Sandwich are freshly made while you wait. You can't go wrong with any sandwich requests. They're all satisfying to the taste

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

I listened to orders being placed as she continuously greeted customers. At one time I did hear a couple of customers order a dinner and I heard her ask if they wanted fries, salad or half of each. Their online menu does not indicate the sides available. It was at this time, 9 minutes later hung up. I tried to call back and the line was obviously busy. I placed my order online for burgers and fries and drove to pick my order up. It's not what I wanted but I knew what I was getting. When I arrived at the restaurant i asked her name. She said, Kate. I explained what happened and she indicated she forgot about the call. I told her good customer service would have been for her to come back to the phone if even to say, I hadn't forgot about you and will be with you shortly. She admitted I hadn't forgot a valid point. I ordered 2 burgers, a double cheeseburger and a bacon cheeseburger both with fries. To make matters worse the cheese was not even melted on the burger. Just a cold slice of cheese on both burgers. I had bit into the burger before realizing the cheese was cold and not melted or soft. I'm going to give Poly Burgers a rest. Today's experience was frustrating.

It's a chill neighborhood spot to grab some food to-go or eat in. The problem was when my plain bacon cheeseburger came with piles of 1000 island on it. I returned it and the cashier nicely took it to the window and told the cooks there was an error. One of the cooks argued with her and even told me I didn't order it plain. I told him exactly what I ordered. The cashier went to the back and told him to remake it, to which he finally did. The fries were crispy but no salt and adding the old bay seasoning just messed up the taste. It could have definitely used some Creole seasoning. The burger patty was not seasoned, and I don't eat condiments, so the bacon and onion was left to flavor the burger. It was still very mediocre and served with cold un-melted cheese. I would have given it a second chance if it weren't for the cook but I will not be returning.
