My favorites are still Baked Salmon & Fried Fish! All three are flavorful, tender & mouthwatering! Cornbread | Honey buttered, sweet & savory! It's an absolute must! That cornbread is a full-on win!

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!

This place might need more than five stars! It is so hard to find really good soul food restaurants…read morein Los Angeles, and I'm an LA native. Soul food here just isn't the same as it was when I was growing up. I came across Southern Soul LA on DoorDash and decided to give it a try. Let me tell you, my boyfriend and I were not disappointed! I ordered the salmon plate with greens and macaroni and cheese. You know the food is good when you save the rest for the next day and it still tastes just as good. The cornbread smacked, and honestly, everything was delicious. I completely forgot what my boyfriend ordered, but he finished his entire plate right then and there. Nobody was talking or even breathing while we were eating. That is how good it was! I will definitely be ordering from here again, and I'm getting my family to try it too. When I tell you this food was so damn good, I mean SO GOOD!

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.

Loved everything about it. The server said the owner is the godchild of Rick James so get for suck vibes. Place is clean, servers were cool, great music which wasn't too loud, people are a vibe, loved their birthday shoutouts, and parking is always so-so in these areas but luckily found a spot on a Sunday on the street. FOOD: I may have to agree with others by saying Annies just may be the best soul food in LA. I enjoyed everything, especially the gravy! We ordered smothered chicken, fish, greens, rice, mac, yams, and the bread comes naturally. Good, no great flavor all around. WELL: Loved it here. Thought about also hosting a gathering here. Will for sure return.

Annie's Soul Delicious was delicious indeed. This was actually my first time really trying soul…read morefood, and I feel like this was a pretty good introduction because there were a lot of things I enjoyed. We got the fried catfish, which was nicely seasoned and crispy, with fried okra, collard greens with smoked turkey, and gravy over rice on the side. My friend got the oxtails with mac & cheese and was probably my favorite dish we tried. The oxtail was rich and tender, and that mac & cheese with the oxtail gravy together was good. We also tried the candied yams, and later got more food to take home because we were too full, like the cornbread. Their watermelon drink was really good too, and we got ours spiked. My friend told me he likes drinking it with Hennessy, so l we had to test that theory afterward. I can confirm it was a good combo. The restaurant itself had a nice, relaxed ambiance and I really enjoyed the food. My only issue was the wait, it was way longer than expected, and I'm still not really sure what caused it. Unfortunately, that was enough for me to knock off a star. Still, the food itself was worth trying, especially if you're craving some comforting soul food. I'd come back, hopefully with a shorter wait next time. 8/10

The restaurant interior was classy, clean, and modern. The crew was friendly and very helpful. The food was fantastic!! 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.

They do have a parking lot, but it is small and can get full so when we arrived it was full. We did find street parking though. They have one side where you can order to go and pick it up, and then the right side will be where you enter and get the seating. There are two seating rooms and a good amount of seats. Not a ton, but still pretty good. They have one restroom that is pretty big and also clean. The menu is pretty straightforward. There's only two pages. They look the same but one side is gonna have a lunch and dinner special. The other side is gonna have a Sunday special. You can only pick from the plates, and you can add additional sides à la carte, but for the main entrées, you cannot add them additionally. So for instance, my man got the oxtail dinner plate. Which comes with three sides, which are actually very generous. Honestly, I figured that would've fed us both which it could have. But I wanted the fried fish, but there is no option to add that separately. You would have to just get another plate of it. So for the first plate, we got the oxtail. That came over a bed of white rice, which we didn't know. It was very good very filling. We also got a side of mashed potatoes with gravy, which was so good nice and creamy. Then we also got the sweet potatoes and that was delicious. Reminded me exactly of Thanksgiving. And we also got the mac & cheese, which I don't normally like mac & cheese but there's looked good. I wanted to give it a try and it was good. Very cheesy. Then for mine I got the fried catfish plate. You have the option of getting fried or steamed I think. And you have the option of catfish or swai fish. For my sides, I got the corn, okra, tomato. That was very good. Then I also got the red beans over rice. Which was so good. I've never had red beans over rice except for at Popeyes and this was like a 10 out of 10. Then we also got the collard greens which that's the only item I was not a fan of. I probably give that one a one or two out of 10. It was just very bitter for me. Our friends also got their own plate, my friend he got the steamed fish and he said it was really good. They also got a side of cabbage which I also wanted to get. They said that was really good so I should've gotten that. The sweet tea was good. It did have a hint of lemon on it if you did like lemon sweet tea. Overall, for the price point, this was really good and big. I can't believe you get three sides. I definitely feel like one box can feed about two people. Wait time wasn't too long and the servers were really nice. I do like that. The food comes in to go containers already because we had leftovers and that way we did not have to ask for to go box. I would definitely come back whenever I'm in the area again.

I ordered 2 dinners short ribs the Sunday special & a vegetable plate at 12:21 my number was 908 they started to call numbers that were higher than minds so I went back over to ask the window where orders are taken the young lady said they forgot to put my ticket in, I asked since they forgot could I get piece of chicken for the inconvenience she asked the manager who had went to help the kitchen and she said no. At 1:21 1 hr later I got my food, and to my disappointment when I got home the food was not good the yams i don't even have words for, the greens no seasoning and a lil under cooked, the succotash the okra not cooked well again no seasoning and a lot of end pieces, the black eyed peas no seasoning very bland, the cornbread was very thick. So sad the state this restaurant is in, they need to revamp too much going on door dash orders, online orders, dine in and orders at the window. So with that said this will be my last time going back to this restaurant.

Wait for a table for 1 for 30 minutes give or take, and was informed of the wait! But I do understand why! It was packed, like that but what I loved was seeing the engagement everyone was having with each other with others with the staff as the undertones of RnB music played in the background! With everything going on in the mess up country we living in right now I loved it! Now, the good and bad stuff! The good: the wait staff were attentive and quick. I sat towards the back at the bar, could have easily been forgotten about, never felt I was. They were great! The food: EXCELLENT! The lamb hummus and bread Oh my Lord, a must try the bread alone was , Then the Pildoff(not sure I spelled that right lol) I do not do spicy, it looked beautiful I could see it was packed full of flavor just too spicy for me, I'm weak. Catfish was cooked to perfection and served with black beans. I totally enjoyed my food, the atmosphere and many conversations with laughter and my lemonade. Next time I'm trying the garlic noodles. Now the bad: I honestly do not have anything bad to report...well maybe, wish I wasn't so full and tired I would have stayed and tried another dish. Can't wait to go back! Wishing you two gentleman continued success! Damn good food!
