We absolutely adore this place! The food is absolutely delicious, true soul food that cant be beat anywhere else in the Covina area.

The chicken and waffles were good. Definitely need to try the catfish and shrimp lunch next time around.

Excellent bacon breakfast burrito! And unexpectedly delicious coffee! Friendly service to boot! read more

Got the wings, they were super juicy & delicious. Everything else we got was delicious and the service was excellent. read more

BB's Cafe - Today's special was 5 wings and two sides. Incredibly delicious . - Soul Food Near Me - Covina, California

What a delicious gem of a southern food cafe. We ordered 3 pieces of fried chicken and waffle, plus a side of collard greens. After working out, we don't want to eat back all the calories, so the two of us decided to share. The portion is very generous. The fried chicken had delicate seasoning, perfected breaded, without being overly coated, dry on outside, juicy on inside. The waffle...is oh my goodness, the perfect waffle, super fluffy, crispy on the edges, slightly sweet batter, melt in your mouth. The collard greens were eaten so fast, cut to small pieces, really soft, cooked in smokey pork flavored sauce. Did I say it comes with 3 hush puppies. Love them!! This place is the standard to live up to in LA. Prices are really decent! There is plenty of street parking. Decor ain't fancy. I will come for the food again and again. Pros: everything Cons: small space, prepare to get take out or wait for a seat read more

If you know the expression, "the cook put their foot in it..." when food is good... At BB's, they put their entire leg in it! The food gives me flashbacks to Georgia / Louisiana hospitality and the flavors to match. The catfish was light and crispy. The greens were cooked well with the slight notes of smoked pork. The Mac & cheese was balanced and cheesy, not heavy or greasy. The waffles... oh my the waffles, it's a must try! BB's makes Roscoe's look and taste like Clifton's cafeteria food. Such a diamond, now you know, so GO! read more

I've always wanted to find a soul food spot around the 626 and boom I looked up BB's through yelp. I'm from Baldwin Park so it being in Covina is that much better. The food is well seasoned, great hospitality and great service. Today I had the Pan Fried Catfish w/ 4 Shrimp, Collard Greens & Mac n' Cheese and all of it was delicious! I gave my son the Mac n' Cheese and he also loved it. The fish was well fried and the greens were tasty! Def will be back! read more

I was in the old town area for some work when I noticed this place has a 5 star Yelp review. 5 star Yelp average and it's soul food?? I'm there!! Food: Ordered fried catfish with fries and coleslaw. I didn't care much for the fries which was the fat type. I much prefer skinny fries. Coleslaw didn't really have a refreshing crunch which is what I am looking for in coleslaw. The fried catfish was simply amazing. Crunchy on the outside and bursting with juices on the inside. Paired with hot sauce (*heaven*). I would recommend anyone ordering fried catfish to eat it on site while it is piping hot. When it cooled down it was not as good. Service: Exactly how a small mom and pop restaurant should be run. The owner was cooking in the back and a young lady in the front. Both were extremely friendly and checked up on their customers to see if they were doing okay. Environment: While this is located in old town covina, it is located in the outskirts of old town. There's limited parking in the immediate area. Indoor seating is limited to 4 tables. Having said all that it wasn't crowded in the place and I was able to get a seat. The place was fairly clean. Price: I thought it was a steal to get all that food of that quality for under $10. Food: 4 Service: 5 Environment: 4 Price: 5 read more

Really good food! All home made southern food. Friendly staff. Will definitely come back. Just wish they had more seating.

As I sit here and write this review I am overtaken by comfort and happiness. BB's Cafe was everything I had imagined it would be and more. From the moment we walked in to place our order we were greeted with a warm welcome. We ordered chicken and waffle, fried catfish with the two sides being Mac and cheese, and baked beans. We got to watch as she made our order fresh! The moment we were given our order we were hit with the incredible smell that was coming from the bag. We sat in agony as we drove home and were ready to devour this meal. Upon first glance I knew we were in for a treat! The catfish plate came with 3 hush puppies, a large piece of bread and let me tell you it was HEAVENLY! My first bite of catfish was so light and crispy, once I discovered the bread on the bottom I knew I had to combine them and that's when I immediately was hit with FLAVOR! Then the Mac and cheese which had the perfect amount of cheese and texture was wonderful. The baked beans mmmmm boy were they delicious. The hush puppies were unexpected but greatly appreciated it as it truly provided me with the ultimate comfort meal. Now the chicken and waffles, as you'd expect a light and fluffy, with a beautiful golden color. Partnered with the crispy on the outside and so juicy on the inside. They were the perfect match. With the hours only being 10-2 make sure you to get in while you can, this place will make you sing! read more

This spot is a MUST to visit! Aside from the outstanding playlist that fills your heart as you eat, the food is beyond amazing!! It's hard to see as you drive by. We had to circle around as we attempted to locate it. But we'd circle 100x more to eat there again! There's a very minimal area to eat inside, but please don't let that detour you! It's worth stopping in and tasting what it has to offer! Waffles and chicken are SO worth the stop in!! Wish we took pics, but we were too hungry! read more

Good food, great service , server is pleasant and Cozy environment can't think of anything else read more

This place has the best waffles in the area, the buttermilk waffles has the perfect texture, perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The chicken is always delicious, well seasoned and juicy and crispy on the outside! Big fan! The cook Ms. Monica throws down, everything is always delicious. This place always has a welcoming vibe as soon you walk in until you leave. Their service is always so good making sure were always taken care of before we leave. read more

Defintely the spot to try If you're looking for a savory brunch. This place is on a corner of a busy street and it's very small inside. We went on a Saturday morning before the lunch crowd and found a seat. You walk in and order thru a window and your food is brought out to your table. They have a couple tables outside also. We tried the chicken and waffles, and they were fresh and delicious. It comes with 3 nice sized chicken wings. The breading on the wings was perfect. Not too salty, extra crispy and great flavor. The waffles are served with a dollop of butter and 2 squeeze bottles of syrup and hot sauce. The hot sauce wasn't too hot, more on the tangy side. The waffles were hot and fresh and not soggy. We also ordered a side of collard greens, and it came out piping hot with 3 mini hush puppies. The greens were fresh and hearty and were cooked perfectly. The hush puppies had great flavor. Their ice tea is homemade and delicious. 1 free refill. I defintely recommend this spot. The prices are decent for delicious food and the service is awesome. Parking and seating could be an issue if you come when it's busy. read more

Finally tasted their catfish-it's well worth the wait and I can understand why it sells out so quickly. Flavorful w/out being dry. The owner was friendly. read more

We stumbled upon BB's cafe when we were headed to Fiesta Parade Floats. This little cafe has 3 tables inside and one outside, and is sort of a hidden gem. Located a little north of the main downtown area. The staff was so friendly and fun to talk to. Known for the chicken and waffles, we were tempted, but needed something a little quick and portable to take with us if need be. My husband had the breakfast burrito, which was large, but tightly rolled around bacon, eggs, and cheese, it was delicious! I had the potato burrito, it was filled with perfectly cooked hashbrowns that were crunchy and perfectly cooked, scrambled eggs and cheese. It was so delicious, I couldn't stop eating it. The cafe is soul food at its best, the dishes are made with love, they take pride in each dish. How can you not love a place that has red kool-aid on the menu? We will definitely go back! read more

Best chicken and waffles! The fried chicken is amazing! Love this place! Service is fast and welcoming. I had the chicken and waffles and the chicken is the tastiest I have ever had this is a must stop spot for anyone who is in the area. I don't get out there enough to be a regular but when I'm in the area I will try to go back for sure. It's a small space but they make the most of it and keep it clean and welcoming. This is more of a order to go and not for large dining parties. The place is clean and fresh. read more

My new favourite spot for chicken and waffles! Never had an item off the menu I have not enjoyed. Everyone here treats each other like family and is very welcoming and fun! The location is small, but very lovely and cute decor. read more

We heart BB's Cafe. In our very own Covina. Craving soul food we got some fried catfish, Mac n cheese, chicken & waffles-and 2 of their famous breakfast burritos. Everything was delicious and made fresh. The waffles are amazing. Come the weekend you can get your greens too. It's so easy to call ahead then go pick up your order. I also can't wait till COVID is finally over so we. can meet up there and stay awhile. Thank you BBs we are glad you're here. That is all. read more

This is a very good unique place for Covina. It is very small but their food is full of flavor. The chicken and waffles are the best. I often get waffles from restaurants and I get disappointed because by the time you get home, the waffle is soggy. However, with BB's waffles, they cut slits in the container so that the warmth has a place to release which prevents a soggy waffle. The staff here is super sweet as well and very eager to make sure your happy with your meal and service. read more

Everything was delicious and the customer service was fantastic. The cashier was so nice and very friendly.

Fluffy waffle! Their syrup is yummy. 10/10. I was in a rush and thought I wouldn't have enough time to order their delicious smelling fried chicken. Instant regret. Their waffle was soft, fluffy, and delicious. They ask you before adding butter. And their syrup is sweet but not too sweet. Service was excellent. read more

This place is a true gem! Not only is the food excellent , but their customer service is impeccable! My elderly mom and son went to BB's twice this past week for lunch and were blown away by how good the food and service was. My mom said this is the "best pulled pork" that she has ever had and at age 89, this is quite a statement. Their portions are big, so much so that even my "always hungry" teenage son had leftovers. My mom was told anytime she wants to come in she can call ahead and they will always have a chair available for her. Their dining area is small but knowing somebody is looking out for my elderly mom while I'm at work, is a godsend! BB's is a must try! read more

This place was amazing. The food was so delicious we're literally back after being here a couple of days ago. we just had to come back

Went here for the first time on Friday and got the Catfish lunch special. It was incredible. Nice, friendly and quick service. I placed an order over the phone thinking it could take a while during the lunch rush but the food was ready in 10mins. The catfish was perfectly seasoned and fried. It wasn't oily at all and it was a perfect serving size. Didn't leave me sleepy or anything! I'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu. It all looks great: read more

Michelle was sweet and friendly and made us feel at home. The food was amazing and we will definitely be back!

Looks very much family owned. The cook is the exact women from The cartoon pic in front. Super cute! Inside is very tiny, but homely. Everything is decorated like I'm in the south. Called in my order and they said about 10 minutes, Which was pretty accurate because it was only 15 or so. No biggie, it's fried chicken so I wanted to make sure it's cooked well. Most places will tell you 10 minutes just so they know that that's a nice time frame and take way longer Food was sssssoooo gggoooodddd!! Seriously! One of the best fried chicken pieces I've tasted! You gotta try it! read more

It's rare to see a place averaging 5 stars but after coming I can see why. The chicken and waffles were delicious, there was nothing more that I could ask for, just perfect. The hot link breakfast burrito I didn't have any expectations for, but was surprised by how good it was..potatoes inside were crispy, everything was in a good ratio. Food comes out fresh and piping hot, service is friendly. Not a lot of seating as it's a small place, didn't see a parking lot, but plenty of street parking around the area. read more

Since my fiancée and I have moved here..we've always wanted to try out BB's cafe but every time we try to order it was always closed. Today we made it an effort to place and order before closing time and we were so glad we did! We ordered two chicken and waffles and a breakfast burrito...best decision we made to break our fasting cycle!! The waffles were fluffy, warm and sweet...almost like a cloud in our mouths! The chicken flats we got were crispy and juicy!!! The breakfast burrito was bomb.com (is that still a thing?) If you are looking for some chicken and waffles or even some soul food...definitely give this place a try! We are definitely going to be back to try out the rest of the menu too!
