I get the Tev's hype. This food is SMACKIN'. 5/5 stars for the Jamaican food they serve on the…read moreweekends, but I'm sure they crush it any day of the week. I love jerk chicken, and Tev's has what might be the best jerk chicken I've ever had. It's not your typical fall-off-the-bone style. It's more like grilled chicken thighs, but they're incredibly tender and packed with smoky, sweet flavor. So good. And everything Tev's puts on your plate is top-notch. High-quality ingredients, great portions, and absolutely worth the price. The patio out back is great too. It has that big family backyard gathering kind of feel. Will I be back? Absolutely. My only complaint is that I don't live closer. I'd come every single week if I could!

Beloved Jamaican soul food spot located in Vermont Square (area of Los Angeles close to Inglewood/…read moreBaldwin Hills). It was my first and only visit (so far) and someone in line told me that they change their menu depending on the day. When I was there, they had oxtail and that's what I wanted! It's not necessarily cheap but it was definitely worth it. It came with Mac and cheese, rice and peas, cabbage, and a drink. And there was so much food it lasted me at least 2 meals and of I could remember correctly, maybe 3? The food was flavorful - well seasoned and prepared well. In order to order food you stand in a line - possibly starting outside - and you eventually come up to a window where you order and you pay. You then wait. It seems like they're cooking and preparing an meal so just know it may take some time. Especially if they're busy.

Unfortunately I didn't take pictures bc I was really hungry but it was played wonderfully and large portions. Definitely give this place a try!

I…read morecalled and explained to the gentleman that answered the phone that I wanted to place my first order, but the DoorDash app stated that they were closed. He was very friendly and told me to wait until 1:00 p.m. to place my order and offered to include a free punch with my order, which I did not receive, not a big deal because I did not pay for it. But, you should honor your word. At 1:00 p.m. I ordered the Soul Bowl with Red Beans and Rice, and Greens. I also ordered the three piece catfish. The catfish was a little too salty for my taste. I enjoyed the Soul Bowl, except for the yams. I don't usually eat anyone's yams because of the strings in the yams, these were no different, they had strings, so I had to pick around them to ensure that I didn't eat the strings, for some reason they have always made me want to throw up. Other than the strings, the yams were good. The greens, red beans and rice, and Mac and Cheese were delicious. I'm glad I ordered two muffins because they are delicious, I wish I had ordered more. I will say they are better than other soul food joints that I have tried. I would order again, trying different items. Please forgive any typos, this was typed on a mobile device.

Annie's can take the crown for BEST Soul Food in LA…read more This restaurant is always extremely busy & now I can finally understand why. The level of authenticity can be felt the moment you walk in. Every patron of the restaurant can be seen expressively enjoying their food. When you order a main protein, it comes with your choice of three sides & ofc their famous cornbread muffins. All the food is insanely filling so prepare to take home leftovers. * Beef Links 10/10: A massive, spicy beef sausage on top of a soft & fresh slice of white bread. It can't get any better. It stayed hot throughout my meal & was appreciated so much. That is f***g good. * Cornbread muffins 10/10: DELICIOUSLY served as an appetizer before your meal comes out. Comes fresh & hot with a side of sweet/cinnamon butter. It's perfect. * 8 Pc Wings 10/10: Seriously the best wings I've ever had in my life. Soul food restaurants know exactly how to coat the wings so that they become insanely crispy when fried. That aside, the Hot Honey seasoning was especially flavorful & mouthwatering. *Mac n Cheese 9/10: This is my style Mac. Not too ooey-gooey wet but just a perfect amount of cheese & roux. One point off because it has a smokey taste which just isn't my preference. * Candied Yams 11/10: MY GAWWWD. I'm in heaven. If you like very sweet potato's paired with a perfect buttery cinnamon dressing, then step right up. These are insane. I'm obsessed with that type of thing. *Greens w Turkey 3/10: Was not the biggest fan of this side. The flavor of the turkey overpowered the whole dish. The greens clearly basked with the turkey rather than just being placed together. I couldn't taste the greens, just meat flavoring. * Cabbage 7/10: I love cabbage. This side isn't anything crazy, it's a very simple thing for you to pair with whatever you ordered. Every meal needs one side that rlly holds it down. *Fried Okra 12/10: Seriously, you cannot get soul food without trying fried okra. This is just amazing. Perfectly crispy & delicious.

Almost hate to write this, but fair is fair. For background, I'm from Southside Chicago, parents…read morefrom Mississippi, and literally grew up on delicious soul food. Everything always from scratch. Everything. We had a table of 6, celebrating niece going back to Spelman College for her junior year. We ordered a ton of food. Each meal comes with three sides. Portions are generous. I had the salmon croquettes, black eyed peas, red beans, and rice & gravy (to go w my croqs) The red beans and the black eyed peas, were delicious. Cooked perfectly, seasoned really well, and the right amount of liquid base. I also had a bit of my mom's greens--and they were GOOD!!! BUT! Not so fast (in my Columbo voice). The salmon croquettes, were not croquetting. There was no flavor. None. Except for the natural salmon taste. The patties were too thick, there was no discernible seasoning, and no onion or green peppers at all. It was like eating a salmon burger, as opposed to a croquette. AND I LOOOOOVE CROQUETTES. Mom's pork chop was okay at best. It didn't taste like anything, was a lil over cooked and a tad tough. But lacked seasoning. Nephew's catfish was tasty. Aunt said her short ribs were good. Niece had wings and shrimp combo, and said they were okay, not great. Peach cobbler was good. Yams too soupy. Dressing was so drowned in gravy, we forgot it was dressing. So, mixed day at Annies. We had issues with the proteins. The veggies and legumes were deliciously spot on. I commented that if I ever end up back, I'll just get red beans, black eyeds, and some greens. Soul food has to be seasoned well. Has to. Croquettes have to have onions, green peppers, or is just a salmon patty. I took a pic of my leftovers. The meal started w 3 croqs. I ate one there. Broke this one open to show y'all the MEH-ness. Oh! GREAT STAFF! Everyone was awesome. I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars, overall. Halfway there.

I had the dinner menu, baked chicken with rice and beans, and the mac and cheese. My cousin ordered the catfish with collard greens and sweet yams on the side. Again, everything was very tasty. The baked chicken seasoning was marinated to the bone. The mac and cheese is so good! Yams were sweet, adding to the harmony of the meal's flavors. I also tried the muddy waters, and I like it a lot! The atmosphere was fun! They have a DJ with great music and karaoke. What a great place to be.

Lonells -- Juneteenth Experience…read more Live music drew us in, but the visit was deeply disappointing. I wrestled with writing this review precisely because it's Black-owned, but the experience spoke for itself. Ambience and service were positives: a warm greeting from Lonnel, sweet waitress, and a friendly bartender. However, beef was unavailable on the day despite Friday/Saturday promises, and the food failed to justify the price. A friend's fried chicken arrived raw--we know what cooked fried chicken should taste and look like, having eaten fried chicken plenty of times. The chef dismissed the concern and offered only a $5 discount, eroding trust in safety and quality. Overall, none of the dishes hit the mark. The hospitality was the bright spot; otherwise, the experience did not reflect the concept or value. I wouldn't return, but hope for improved consistency and safety. Giving it 1 Star for our waitress and the bartender.

Like many restaurants, they have had their ups and downs, but they are hanging on. We have bought the Family Special which is no longer a Sunday option, but on other days.

We had some friends and family over, so we purchased 2 Family Specials and some extra Corn Muffins. That was plenty for 7 adults and 2 children with a little leftovers. Although, we have had some negative experiences here previously, we still dine there by take-out mostly. The owner does listen to and reads reviews. That doesn't happen every.

*** Los Angeles Times 101 Best Restaurants (2022): #75 ***…read more I have to admit, both of us were a bit disappointed by Dulan's Soul Food Kitchen. Came here on a Friday for dinner around 6:15pm and were seated inside at a table right away. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly. The ambiance was nice, as well. That said, the food did not really live up to the hype. Particularly, the fried chicken was very dry. The baked chicken was quite a bit better, but the cornbread muffins were probably my favorite food item. If in the area, I'd still say this spot is worth checking out if you're curious. Just don't come in with super high expectations. Maybe we caught them on an off night.
