    ambiance is good...just wish the food service and drinks were the same.... we ordered a sandwich "The Hackshaw" the menu said it had chicken cutlets grilled or fried, bacon, mozzarella cheese and buffalo sauce but when we got it there was chicken tenders on it one piece of bacon on half of the the sandwich... i asked for a side of cheese fries with cheddar cheese and got fries with cheese sauce on it, the waitress offered the correct fries but those came after another 20 minutes we finished our sandwiches at that point not to mention they advertise "homemade sangria" yeah i beg to differ i only saw an orange slice in it and it tasted straight out the bottle. so again energy is great, cool place to drink at the bar with young kids and go home. the quality has definitely gone down to a 1 star rating but because i like the music i will give it 2 stars

    My back was away from the traffic...cute decor next to our table!

    Omg my lunch was bomb!!!!!! My homegirl suggested we go to Kettle for lunch, so happy she did. Love the outdoor seating arrangement. Service was speedy, Mike (server) was amazing, and the menu isn't too large but full of so many enticing things that it took us a minute to hunker down and order. I went with the Gringo burger, no bun, swapped out my friends for a side ceased salad. Wow! Everything was so fresh and well seasoned. I demolished my lunch, right down to the coleslaw lol. My friend had the steak skillet that came with fries, another yes! We were so pleased, really cannot wait to return.

    I've been ordering from this place since they opened. Unfortunately I have not stayed to eat at the kettle, but my order always comes perfect. KB is always packed with nice peoplzzzzz. Just try it out.

    I ordered this evening and received it over 2 hours later and the food was ice cold. Shame on you kettle black! You shouldn't have accepted an order for delivery if you couldn't deliver my food Hot and in a timely manner, I would have picked it up. A manager reached out to me and asked where I Ordered through as he wanted to make it up to me, then stated there was nothing he could do yet asked me to change my review and rating anyway. I ordered DIRECTLY through Kettle Black's website, which uses GrubHub. If you guys had issues with them then why would you have a direct link to them?

    Great food love the burger options. Sports events days are the best days for the beers and wings. Drinks options are a variety.

    I've had my share of Korean fried chicken and I'd put this place up there with all of them. Staff…read morewas super-friendly and helpful. Greeted with a smile once we walked in. Everything's made-to-order, so don't expect grab-and-go fast food. Food was still steaming by the time we made it home. The chicken tasted seasoned to the bone. We tried about 3 sauces and really loved them all. We thought the soy honey and sweet & spicy gave a really nice tang to the chicken, without being too overpowering. And of course, even sauced up, everything stayed nice and crispy. Even my in-laws (who are boomer-level picky) liked it. Will definitely be heading back there soon.

    As someone who lived in Ktown LA for a while, this was some of the best KFC I've had in my life and…read morebeats most of the restaurants I've had in ktown. The chicken was so juicy and fresh, even the tenders, and it had the right amount of crisp without being overly battered. I got the soy garlic and sweet and spicy, and both sauces were really tasty and had me wishing I got extra for dipping. The sweet and spicy was definitely my fav, but it could have been more spicy. The box for the family set was so sturdy and nice, and the amount of food you get for the price is incredible. Even the fries that come with the set were nice and crispy without being overly greasy. The employee at the front was also so nice and welcoming. My expectations were nonexistent going into this since food options on the island have been a little bleak, but I'm absolutely blown away and will absolutely be a regular.
