I don't leave many reviews, but when the service is either really good or really bad, I make an exception. My family and I came to M&M's Soul Food Restaurant after a funeral service on Tuesday, and I can honestly say this place exceeded every expectation. Every single dish we ordered was outstanding. The short ribs, fried chicken, oxtails, catfish, collard greens, cabbage, macaroni and cheese, black eyed peas, yams, rice and gravy, cornbread, and even the sweet tea were absolutely delicious. It's rare to find a restaurant where everything is that good, but they pulled it off. The service was just as impressive as the food. Every person who helped us was friendly, welcoming, and had a great attitude. That's how customer service is supposed to be. We had a large group, and not one person had a single complaint--which is saying a lot! The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and inviting. The music was great. Even though we live in the San Fernando Valley, I would absolutely make a special trip just to eat here again. And anytime I'm in the area, this will definitely be my go-to spot--even if it's just to grab some wings to go. Y'all deserve more than five stars. Thank you for the amazing food, outstanding service, and wonderful experience. Keep up the great work! read more

Today we went back to M & M to have breakfast. This family owned and operated business is the best soul food in the South Bay. I highly recommend this restaurant. Their chicken wings and grits are so delicious! Best fried chicken with crispy coating and moist and well seasoned meat. Grits are very buttery. Service is fantastic and the decor beautiful. We will be back to this place again real soon. read more

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

Hadn't been here in years and was disappointed. Oxtail was tender but no real flavor. Didn't like Mac and cheese. Red beans and rice had odd after taste. Fried chicken and dressing good. Not a fan of red bell pepper in potato salad. Caramel Hennessy dessert and banana pudding was so sweet couldn't get past 2 bites. Overall not a good experience. read more

I went on a busy Saturday lunch time and timed it perfect to get both breakfast and lunch on the menu. Pancakes were fluffy good and the meatloaf is a huge portion. Collard Greens were tender, but not too tender if you know what I mean. Good texture. The Dressing is like a pudding its so smooth. Biscuit is fluffy good and sweet too. Just a great meal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBL1nz13dn0 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

The service and the food doesn't taste could it's expensive. It was popping ten years ago, wasted time and money going there.

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

Today I had a great breakfast. Egg whites scrambled to perfection. Wonderfully seasoned fried chicken wings. The waffle looked and tasted great. I enjoy the hometown family atmosphere. I recommend M&M for a good dinning experience. 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

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

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

'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

I was just in M & M, after not being acknowledged after we were seated, I got up to leave. The server than approached our table in an unfriendly manner. I attempted to order a "Breakfast s Special" which included a meat, side and bread. I asked for bacon and pancakes as my bread, before I could add the side, she insisted that each item had to be ordered as a side. I asked her what was considered bread. She said toast, biscuits or pancakes. So I said ok, so tell me again why I can't order the pancakes. She walked off to get the person in charge who in turn walked out the door to a parked vehicle. This is a black owned business in the community that I frequent relatively often. While the food is decent, the service levels are inconsistent. 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

Be careful ordering from the Carson location when I ordered over the phone they had an AI assistant that charge me an additional $15 per dinner plate. The plate should've been $30 and it charged me $45 per plate and when I called and talked to the staff, they would not offer any credit or anything so beware people when ordering from M&M's in Carson.It also added a drink that didn't order 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

I placed a delivery order via UberEats on January 21st... I ordered the Turkey Chops Dinner ~ Mac & Cheese, Yams and Cornbread Dressing w/gravy and Cornbread Muffins... 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)...

All authentic...Very good M&M's...Stay pleasing us with your authenticity... 5/5 with no hesitation...Now, I didn't take a pic because my mind was on the meal I was about to devour...I was hungry...

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

I have been here several times.. Turkey Chops are soo good! Monique is amazing, always has a great attitude! Great service.

Just ghetto. Placed a phone order and they haven't provided an update and won't answer the phone no matter how many times they are called.

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
