    Stale fries
    Zaed E.

    We visited The Mean Cow around 7 pm hoping for a decent dinner, but unfortunately, the experience was poor from start to finish. Accessibility Issues: The restaurant is difficult to find, located on the second floor of a Mexican Plaza mall. The elevators and escalators were both out of order during our visit. Having to carry an infant car seat and a stroller up a flight of stairs was a significant and unexpected hurdle that made simply reaching the restaurant a stressful experience. Not to mention to area is extremely sketchy! Poor Customer Service: Upon arrival, my family and I were denied indoor seating despite the cold weather, while carrying a newborn. We were forced to sit outside, which was very uncomfortable given the circumstances. This lack of accommodation was surprising and unwelcoming. Keep in mind we still had 45 min until they close. Food Quality: We ordered the double patty smash burger with fries. The food quality was underwhelming. The burger itself lacked flavor and was very mediocre. The fries were stale and seemed to be refried, not fresh. Final Thoughts: While we appreciate that this is a halal spot, the combination of the accessibility challenges, poor service regarding seating arrangements, and the subpar food quality means we will not be returning. Very disappointed with the overall experience.all these positive reviews are questionable.

    Amazing service and the food was great would recommend this if you're looking for a hot chicken spot

    I was in the area looking for dinner and the yelp search brought up mean chix. I like the hot chicken sandwich's so I'm always up for trying one. The gps took me right there, but it's upstairs which I had to look around some. It's small but plenty of seating while I was there it appeared to be 50/50 eat in and take out. The people are super friendly and help me pick, I went with the number 2 which is a sandwich a tender(as big as a sandwich) and fries. I went medium to be careful and it was spot on medium, I could have went one or two hotter. Food is cooked when you order so it's fresh and hot. Delicious just seasoned right, large portions too. Get over here and try it you won't be disappointed

    Saw this place on "Instagram", decided to make the drive. Let me tell you. The food was absolutely incredible. Super savory and cooked to perfection. Every dish was delicious. Wendy and William were very hospitable, kind, welcoming and insightful with their recommendations. You must check out this place. 10/10.

    WOW! I was passing through Lynwood and was craving some good hot chicken, I came across mean chix and thought I'd give it a shot. I tried the hot chicken burrito OMG, it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The staff was extremely friendly and great atmosphere. I will absolutely be back next time I'm in Lynwood.

    I finally made it to Mean Cow & Mean Chix in Lynwood, and let me tell you -- this place lives up to the hype. I ordered the double smash burger and added jalapeños... WOW. Perfectly crispy edges, juicy in the middle, and the jalapeños gave it the right kick. Seriously one of the best smash burgers I've had in a while. I also tried the Cow Fries -- loaded with a smash patty, grilled onions, and more flavor than I could've imagined. These might just be some of the best fries I've ever had. No joke. My wife got the #2 Combo, which comes with the Mean Cow chicken sandwich, a chicken tender, and fries -- and holy cow, that combo is a meal and a half! The chicken was super crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. If you're anywhere near Lynwood, do yourself a favor and pull up to Mean Cow & Mean Chix. Smash burgers, loaded fries, and crispy chicken done right.

    Hot Chicken Sandwich
    Raymond G.

    Checked out this spot to see what the hype is about and it was well worth it. I loved the chicken sando, great seasoning, the sauce was amazing which is hard to find and the Cole slaw is so good and I don't usually like Cole slaw. Service was nice very polite and helpful, and it's located in plaza Mexico which is always a vibe. Definitely coming back for more

    What I absolutely love about this place is that everything they serve is 100% halal. I've always craved those animal-style fries from In-N-Out, and now I've found a spot that serves them with halal Australian wagyu! The burgers were absolutely to die for! I loved how the juice from the jalapeños adds that perfect kick--it just melts in your mouth and takes the flavor to the next level. Service was amazing! Staff were able to break down the menu for me perfectly! Plus, it's a two-in-one spot: mean cow and mean chix . Highly recommend checking it out!

    great food, huge portions and super friendly staff! I will definitely be eating here again!!

    Thank you for the amazing food , tried your guys cow & chicken menus everything is delicious Amazing service! And fast place , you guys won't be disappointed coming in !!

    Mean Mac sandwich (left). And double burger (right)

    I tried the Mean mac sandwich, it was delicious. It comes with Mac and cheese inside yummy! They have excellent customer service, very friendly and attentive staff. Recommend to try it. It was worth my long drive from studio City :)

    Outside/ inside

    Ambiance: it took us a bit to find the place, but it's upstairs in what seems like the food court. And there were only 3 tables inside... I assumed it would be bigger, but there's seats outside in the general area where you can sit. Not much to this place. Service: There were 2 people working, and they seemed a little backed up, but they were kind, and it didn't take long to get our meals. Food: The chicken didn't really have much flavor or spice (I got mild, and my friend got hot, and they both tasted essentially the same)... they were cooked well, so the tenders were juicy and fresh, but they didn't really stand out. I also felt like there was too much breading on the tenders, wasn't terrible but didn't "wow" me.

Each time we passed by, it seemed like they were closed and or never answered their phone when we called to see if they were open. We kept telling each other one day we're going to stop by and see if they actually are open. So on Friday after exiting the freeway I made my way to Jim Dandy and saw folks going in and coming out. This location is in the middle of the hood. They have bulletproof windows once inside and this location is order and pickup, no dining available. I didn't see the menu until I was done with ordering. Which made it hard for myself. I seen the menu after I ordered. I walked out with 12 pieces of chicken regular not spicy. Corn fritters, macaroni salad, peach cobbler and a banana pudding. Once home we set up our table and began to devour our food. We were blown away with the chicken it is better than most places we have been to not saying any names. The pieces of chicken were huge fresh and crispy. The macaroni salad was just right amount of mayo and seasoning. The peach cobbler was wrapped perfectly not damaging the crust. The banana pudding was a little watery not sure if that was due to the heat going on in the bag as everything was bagged together. I immediately put it in refrigerator so it could get cold and become solid than running. I have no idea what there hours are next time I go in I'll ask or look for signs. There is plenty parking not that folks stay long. Food seems to come out in a timely manner. So parking comes and goes. I cannot wait to try there dirty rice and corn fritters without the powder sugar. I didn't get a photo of them as they got devoured.

What a great find. It's a counter-order, takeout-style spot, which was no problem at all. The service was solid. The guy who took my order also handled putting everything together, and you can tell when someone's on it--nothing was missing and everything came out right. I ordered a 3-piece, and it definitely hit the spot. The chicken was flavorful and satisfying, and the onion rings were just as good--crispy and delicious. I got there a little late, and it felt like a true local spot. Everyone was relaxed, just there for some really good fried chicken. No hype--just good food.

    May 17, 2026 12:15…read more Server Yaya Hawkins House of Burgers is a historic, family-owned restaurant in the city of Willowbrook/Watts area, Cynthia Hawkins is the owner. If you find yourself in the neighborhood you will realize quickly that it's not the best of neighborhoods. However you must stop by at least once at Hawkins to enjoy some hommade food. I had been wanting to come here for more than several years. Since I knew I'd be driving by them on my way back from visiting someone. I made sure to stop today and try them. There was several people sitting in cars and standing waiting for their orders. They have door dash and all these other delivery options. Most of there orders are delivery. We overlooked the menu and decided what we were going to get. We ordered 1 fat cheese without onions and tomato combo 1 triple cheese burger combo with large chili cheese fries added pastrami 1 peach cobbler The order came to $52. And some change There menu is American, specializing in burgers, but also serving tacos, hot dogs, chili cheese fries, and burritos. Menu highlight is the "Farmer Otis Burrito" (a 2-foot-long burrito) and options with pastrami and hot links. There menu options are huge just keep that in mind when ordering. We waited for our order for about 40 minutes. Remind yourself fresh and good things take time. My burger was so fresh packed with flavors the meat crispy the mayo and mustard on my buns made me wanting more. The pickles were delicious. Now for that triple burger make sure you bring your hunger that's no burger to play around with. 3 large patties just might send you into burger coma. Those large chili pastrami fries are a meal within themselves. We barley put a dent into them and gave up we were full. Now for dessert that Peach Cobbler was deliciously homemade. Only thing missing was some whipped cream. The cinnamon and nutmeg in each bite was mouth watering.
