This place is definitely a no for me. I used to come here back in the early 2000s when the food and service were solid. Over the years, however, there's been a noticeable decline. The food was never outstanding, but it used to be good enough to enjoy. Now it's just okay at best, and the experience is really overshadowed by the customer service. Unfortunately, the service is consistently poor. The waitress seemed overwhelmed, and the overall atmosphere reflected a lot of frustration and negativity, which made the visit uncomfortable. If management is reading this, some serious staff training and customer service refreshers are needed. Right now, the service is what really brings this place down. read more

Friday May 1, 2026 I ordered a fried red snapper dinner that included collard greens, mac n cheese and candied yams and 2 cornbread muffins. The Mac n Cheese and the yams were excellent. The balance of meal was sad to terrible. I never eaten greens that only had water, a little salt and little vinegar...THAT IS IT! And they gave me about 4 days of them. The muffins were so tiny. They really just gave me one. OMG the red snapper was fried to death with the foil full of grease. There were 6 pieces in the foil. I could only eat the middles out o2 pieces then I through out what really looked pre-fried fish. One piece was actually black on the bottom. I doctored up the left over greens, with slices of smoked ham, onions, chile pepper flakes. When heated up the left overs they had that country smoked meat mixed with onions. Only then was I able to enjoy a soul food diner. The folks that work there are very nice. Management should have checked on the food and tasted it. read more

After having a taste for comfort food, I got a take out Veggie Plate from M & M's Soul Food Restaurant that included Collard Greens, Green Beans with Potatoes, two Cornbread Muffins & Cornbread Dressing. It was so tasty and it satisfied my craving for comfort food. The customer service is good. Although I never have, there is indoor dining available. They have lots of specials throughout the week. There is a parking lot available as well. I recommend this restaurant. P.S. this is not a Vegan Restaurant. There are plenty meats available . read more

M & M Soul Food is worth the 2 hour drive that it took for my family and I to get here. It's a small restaurant in Carson, but they're BIG on flavor. Their staff is wonderful and attentive. I ordered the meatloaf initially, but then I had to switch it to the smothered steak because the meatloaf wasn't ready yet. It was a little disappointing, but I wasn't tripping out because their entire menu is delicious. The smothered steak was tender and savory. For my sides, I got the candied yams, mashed potatoes, and collard greens. All of these were very good. I'm not gonna lie though, I picked off of my brother's plate too. He got the corn and green beans. The sweetest corn I've ever tasted and the best green beans I've ever had. BRB while I check my calendar for my next drive down here. read more

My husband it's very disappointed with the service and food to say the least. Radio the smothered chicken tasted like it was old reheated and smoothed with a lot of gravy over it. The dressing was bland. And our waitress said to us that we wouldn't like the mac and cheese because we are black. She shared she tried it and threw it in the garbage. Who says this to customers, WOW! Sadly, all of the cooks were Hispanic, will NOT BE RETURNING... read more

I haven't been to an M&M in over ten years. Didn't even know they were in Carson and after today's experience I'm glad I didn't know. Inside is pretty small, cafe style. The floors were very slippery. I had to drag my feet. Customer service was terrible. Walk-in, noone greeted us just told us to sit wherever. I took my grandmother out to breakfast and the waitress kept asking if we were ready, didn't ask if we needed any recommendations, nothing. She looked irritated that we weren't ready, I'm sorry this was our first time ma'am. On to the food, the chicken was fried in old oil, the wings were hairy and huge. The pancakes looked like the frozen ones you give elementary school kids. No one enjoyed their food. It was edible. We were provided butter floating in syrup and syrup that was stabbed with a knife aka already open! I pay at the register and another lady tells me my total without providing a receipt. Never that, hand my receipt please. Thanks. Never again. $80 down the drain. $25 for hairy big ass chicken wings is diabolical. read more

I really enjoy their catfish dinner, which typically includes mac and cheese, greens, and yams. However, at 2:12 pm, I noted they had run out of yams, so I ordered mashed potatoes instead. My sister ordered the oxtails dinner with black-eyed peas, mac and cheese, and green beans. When we picked up our order, we noticed an additional charge of $5.25 for the green beans. Since the dinner includes three sides, we were surprised by this extra fee. We politely asked the cashier about it, but unfortunately, we sensed some attitude. Their food is delicious, but we would appreciate a more accommodating experience in the future. read more

'm a very loyal M&M's customer as I've been going since I can remember as it's a comfort restaurant with so many great options. From the fried chicken, to the waffles, to the oxtails and short ribs, and the yams, the food is always consistent and they provide great portions and taste. Often times though, the service can be spotty as attitudes aren't always pleasant and items that we paid for are missing from the order which can make it a bit annoying to deal with despite the quality of food. But regardless lol, it's definitely my favorite soul food restaurant in LA despite everyone stating LA doesn't have good soul food. read more

When I called, I was on hold for 12 minutes and when someone finally came on the phone they were so rude. The food is very tasty but the service is horrendous. I'd rather not eat it if that's the quality of service they give terrible terrible read more

Terrible customer service, however the food was fire. 10/10 I ordered Mac n cheese , pork chops and dressing. The peach cobbler was delicious as well. (Do better with the customer service, non attentive servers and employee chatter non stop. Talking loud , cursing and yelling at each other.) I would never eat at the restaurant. Order take out. read more

ordered turkey and dressing dinner online. Delivery on time. Food was the problem. The turkey was ok nothing special. The dressing was the worst. They should look up recipes to follow. The green beans were straight out of a can. Sweet potatoes had sugar and no other seasoning that I could taste. I added cinnamon and nutmeg to flavor. They really need new cooks, this was not soul food read more

I tried their Black Eyed peas & Rice and Potato Salad last week and was blown away. This week I added the Oxtails. TENDER! Fresh & Delicious food that tastes like they care. Support them. read more

This meal was delicious!!!...Everything (I mean everythinf) was seasoned well...The Cornbread Dressing amazing...It's definitely not from a box (I've had that from another restaurant years ago and it was stovetop)...

I recently went to M&M'S in Carson I had Short ribs (my fav) mash potatoes cabbage and yams. My food was amazing! They did not disappoint per usual! My server greeted me and sat me minutes after walking in she had a pleasant smile and was helpful with making my side selections because I couldn't decide with so many options . They always have great R&B playing my jams in the background so this place is always a vibe and atmosphere chill. Thanks for the great service and good food . I will be back soon! read more

Greens served cold, pork chops was tasteless and was cooked in extremely OLD COOKING OIL. Our server was polite and friendly. The cooks need to be monitored by the owner. The previous cook (a few months ago) was great. I personally thanked him with a five dollar tip because everything was good. You get cheap labor you get poor results on the delivered product. Very unhappy with meal, but my dog ate good . Hum, maybe ICE SHOULD CHECK OUT THEIR HIRING PRACTICES. read more

09/04/2025 Just received order of Salmon Croquettes breakfast, and I can't really enjoy it. As it was over powerfully seasoned wi garlic powder also burnt. I order quite often and enjoy the meatloaf in gravy immensely. I almost phoned them to tell them to please watch the seasoning and the fire, which are the to main components to cooking. They almost burnt the biscuits but they caught that just in time. I will never order Salmon Croquettes again. read more

Huge shout out to Carson M&Ms for standing on business. This was my first time patronizing this location after a 10+ years hiatus because of a bad customer service/food experience I had years ago. I am so happy I tried it again. The customer service was on point. I was greeted by a server when I entered the restaurant for my pickup and the person handling pickups acknowledged my presence. Everything was very organized and to my greater happiness, the order was correct when I checked it in my car. The best part was the presentation. The food was neatly packaged to maintain it's integrity. The fried chicken was separated from the sides which kept it crispy and the juices of the sides were not running into each other. The food was hot and delicious . It reminded me of my mom's food. I'm so proud to say I have finally found a soul food restaurant in the Carson area that's sound. This will definitely be my go to place for all things Soul Food. read more

I'm going to be very clear about my experience at M & M Soul Food in Carson. The service was slow, our order was wrong, and the food we were given instead was cold. Even basic requests -- like a refill -- were handled poorly (I was given a small to-go cup instead of what I originally had). But the biggest issue was the way we were treated compared to other customers. Tables seated after us received faster service, complete meals, and cornbread we never got. We were consistently overlooked. At a certain point, it stopped feeling like "bad service" and started feeling like we were being treated differently -- and yes, it felt racially biased. When I spoke up, the waitress was dismissive instead of trying to resolve anything. No one should feel unwelcome or treated less than when they're spending their money. That's exactly how this felt. A Native woman with a "Black" spouse... read more

I am no longer impressed by the quality of the food. I got the veggie platter with bland Black Eyed Peas. I'm not sure what kind of macaroni and cheese I got for I had no cheese on the top and I'm not even sure what kind of cheese they have any way. The yams appeared to be doctored from a can I'm just saying, especially from a foodie herself who can cook her buns off. I could do way better. read more

M&M's is an awesome eating experience. Today did not disappoint. I suggest that in order to enjoy that you roll up!

I love M&M. It's a family owned business and I love the everyone knows everyone atmosphere. Layton is my personal chef who cooks my breakfast to perfection everytime. I also appreciate Tamara and the effort she makes to ALWAYS show everyone love. I keep coming back to support a place I love. Shay & Monique are my favorite firecrackers in the restaurant I appreciate them always serving me well. Last but not least Charlie is always a sweetheart. I appreciate the love they show to me read more

Me and my fiancé travel every Sunday from Orange County to get the food . Now we normally don't have a problem but on 4-19-26 we travel our regular day . And I normally get the oxtails dinner. So we arrive at 2:00pm and they tell us they are out of oxtails and asked if we could come back at 4 so I told her we came from Orange County so we stayed in the area to kill time so when we went back she took our order and said it will be 10 to 15 minutes ok fine. So when I go in and asked if it's ready she said they don't have any so why did you take my order and give us the run around. Her attitude was NASTY so I advise you do not go there it's terrible!!!!!!! read more

Not a good day today. My order was smothered chicken, dressing, green beans, mixed greens, and yams on the side. I didn't check my order before I left, but when I arrived home, I had half of a smothered chicken that was tough, two orders of yams, two orders of greens. No dressing and no string beans. I tried to make the best of it, but the greens were not cut well. They were in big leaves and they were tough . Like I said, today was not a good day. Maybe it will be better tomorrow. Make sure you take the time to check your order before you leave the establishment read more
