We ordered a family meal to share between a group of 4. The family meal was filling with two large sides. Multiple options from candied yams to cheese and grits. The fried chicken was very flavorful and crispy, loved it with the hot sauce. Catfish bites and fried green tomato were also additional appetizers we ordered, definitely recommend if you are curious to try some other soul food options at fixins soul kitchen. Corn bread was more bread than corn, not the best in my opinion, was on the dryer side, maybe it was an off day. The butter that goes with it had a spicy kick to it. Service was slow, a busy lunch hour. Ambiance is casual. Would come back to try other dishes.

On Friday evening, October 9th, after work, I went to Fixin Soul Kitchen with my Mom for dinner. LA LIVE in Downtown LA is very close to the condo where I live, within walking distance, so I decided to explore some restaurants in the area that I hadn't tried before. As I was looking at the menus posted outside the restaurant, I spotted Shrimp and Grits and immediately thought, "This is it!" I decided to give this place a try. I used to live in South Carolina a very, very long time ago, and I absolutely love Shrimp and Grits. It's a nostalgic comfort food for me, almost like a soul food that brings back memories. (One of my aunts still lives in South Carolina. I remember visiting her there a few years ago, and she has been living there for more than 60 years.) When we went inside, the hostess seated us at a small table for two. However, my Mom thought the table was too small and asked me to see if we could move somewhere else. I went back to the hostess and asked if we could move to one of the tables I could see nearby, but she told me that it was reserved. So I asked if we could sit at the table right next to it instead, and she said that would be fine. We were then moved to a slightly more spacious table for four. At the original two-person table, my Mom and I were sitting across from each other, but at the new four-person table, we were able to sit side by side, which I liked much better. There were also two people sitting at the four-person table right next to us. We ordered Shrimp and Grits and a three-piece Fried Chicken meal. Since the fried chicken came with a choice of two sides, we ordered coleslaw and French fries. The food came out pretty quickly, and the Shrimp and Grits were really delicious, although it was a little spicy. I don't handle spicy food very well, so I was hoping for a milder version, but it turned out to have a bit of a kick. The fried chicken was crispy and very tasty, too. The portions were quite generous, and the three pieces of chicken were so big that we couldn't finish everything, so we had to get the leftovers packed up to take home. Both the fried chicken and the Shrimp and Grits were delicious, but the coleslaw was really bad. On the other hand, the French fries were nice and crispy, and I really enjoyed them. Oh, my Mom loved the bread and butter. Their butter was really good! The server was also very friendly. When I asked, "Can I have some more water?" She came over and refilled our glasses. When we asked for two extra plates, she brought them to us right away. However, there was one major downside to this restaurant: it was incredibly, unbelievably loud inside. The music was so loud that I thought my eardrums were going to burst! (I am particularly sensitive to sound and noise.) It was so noisy that it was almost impossible to have a conversation with my Mom, even though she was sitting right next to me. The female staff member who took our order also seemed to have trouble understanding what I was saying, so she leaned in very close to my face to hear my order. I had to speak almost as if I were shouting just to make myself heard. This was extremely uncomfortable and made the dining experience much less enjoyable. So, if I ever crave the food here again, I will probably order takeout rather than dine in.

Smothered Chicken, okra and sweet potatoes
Francis V.

Fixins is a great place to have brunch, lunch or dinner. It's popular so making a reservation is recommended. The food is good, I had smothered chicken, okra and sweet potatoes. The music is kind of loud so a large party may want to sit outside if they like to engage in conversation without speaking over the music. Plenty of tables inside with patio seating. Parking is validated during the week, I believe only during lunch time.

While in L.A., this location is a must if you are looking for soul food! This place is upscale and the place to be! Been hearing about this spot so we decided to stop by to check it out. A great looking place and pretty much looks like it's the place to be. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Fantastic. Grits hot, creamy and seasoned just right. Nice size shrimp added to the dish. The wife had the smothered fried chicken. Crispy and a great flavor from the gravy. The okra and Mac n cheese were some solid side dishes. Service was very friendly and made u feel like family and at home. Clean, music, just a great place to eat, have a drink and enjoy.

Kool Aid & PYT
Tabitha P.

From start to finish, dinner here was amazing. Music was good, service was warm, drinks were interesting and strong, food was delicious. He had the adult kool aid, I had the butterfly pea infused vodka cocktail. Iced water in mason jars. Perfect. The oxtails smothered in gravy were very tender, the fried catfish was light and flaky. We enjoyed the fixins - collard greens, black eyed peas, mac and cheese. Very good for the soul, soul food. We were here for the Journey concert and didn't plan on coming here but we will definitely return to try more of their menu.

The vibe on Wednesday was nice and relaxing. Tunes were playing, conversations were flowing, and the food was delicious! The drinks were mixed really well and tasted great. Hubby got the chicken sandwich with fries and loved it! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I got the Caesar salad, which included baby spinach and arugula--it was very tasty. The best part was the sides: greens, red beans and rice, okra, and sweet potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious! Service was ok ! The server was nice but it took long to get alcohol

Found this place while looking for a waffle place. Parking was tough. Luckily, we found a spot that was 6 minutes away (walking). It was Sunday so meter parking was free. The line was pretty long. We opted to sit at the bar. For the bar, it was whatever open seats available. Once sat, the bartender came to assist. We got the 3 pieces dark chicken with 2 waffles. We also got the fried fish with corn bread and 2 fixins (fried collard greens & candied yams). The chickens were alright. Juicy! The only prob with the plate was having the chickens on top of the waffles. The waffles ended up being all smashed/mushed. The crunch was not there. The fried fish was fresh, but it was a bit too salty. The greens were salty as well. The corn bread with maple butter was yummy. Sitting at the bar was way too hot. We were somewhat melting. The back of the restaurant was a lot cooler. Service was good.

One of my favorite places to visit at least twice a month LOL the service is always 10/10 the food is always fresh and delicious and I love the music especially on Sunday's! Definitely a family friendly spot always my go to for soul food and great time love it here.

Soleil L.

Absolutely some of the BEST soul food I've ever had! Now listen... my grandma made some AMAZING greens, so my standards are HIGH and Fixins' greens are damn near the same! That says A LOT! The chicken?! So, so, SO juicy, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. The red beans and rice? Easily a 10/10! Honestly, every single thing on my plate was a 10/10. Not one disappointment! This is REAL comfort food flavorful, filling, and made right. I will absolutely be back! Oh, and great customer service! Even on a busy weekend everyone was great!

Smothered chicken, yams
Ed P.

The experience we had at this southern based place was amazing! From the atmosphere to the music to of course, the food it was very satisfying. I ordered their chicken and waffles with a side of collard greens. We also have a side of their deviled eggs. They were a bit pricey (you only get 4 for $14 bucks). My lady ordered their smothered chicken and yams with Mac n cheese. The gravy was peak in flavor. Great customer service overall 10/10

Black owned soul food restaurants are the best. Makes me feel at home. I've come here several times and every single time I come it is packed! They have seating inside and outside. This time I came on a Sunday afternoon (right when church lets out) so the line was out the door. Also they had the World Cup finals game on so all of the tvs were on and it was loud and festive. Everyone was cheering when Spain made the final goal. I came for a girls day with my mom, sister, aunt, and cousins. We ordered a variety of dishes and drinks which included the adult koolaid, lemon drop, spiked pineapple palmer, pork chop, greens, Mac n cheese, sweet candied yams, red beans and rice, potato salad, fried fish entree, smothered chicken, fish n grits, chicken & waffles, shrimp gumbo. Everyone enjoyed their food. On this day I had the shrimp gumbo with greens and Mac n cheese on the side. It was all very good and huge portions. I wish they gave 2 cornbread with it b/c it was so tasty! I've had the chicken n waffles before and I think that's my absolute fave. We will definitely be back here because we just love it! Consistent soul food that does not disappoint. Shout out to our waitress Chassidy and the rest of the staff for being so friendly to our large party.

Blackened tofu
Krissy W.

Soul food isn't typically known for having a lot of vegan options, so no surprise that there were just a couple to choose from. I ordered the blackened tofu, which was spicy and well-seasoned. The rice and corn complemented the meal nicely. I visited on a Saturday night, and there was a (loud) live DJ that gave the restaurant a party-like atmosphere but made it difficult for conversation. The wait staff was friendly yet rushed. I did appreciate the fun reimagined nostalgic advertisements that serves as wall art.

3 piece Wing
Denise J.

Fixin's did not disappoint I made reservations online for July 14th @11:30am I brought my granddaughter here along with her boyfriend This is their first time here. Upon our arrival we were immediately seated. Oh server took our drink orders first. We all ordered the grape Kool aid We all decided to ordered fried chicken with sides. The fried chicken was crispy especially my wings. The manager Brian came to our table to check on us which I appreciated. Our server checked on us as well. Everyone enjoyed their with exception of the greens which were a bit salty. I wasn't able to finish my food so I packed it to go. My server refilled my grape kool aid in a to go cup. Thanks Fixin's I'm sure I'll be back.

Just had brunch at Joyce after seeing it featured for Black Restaurant Week, and it was delicious!…read more Our favorites were the Crab & Shrimp Benedict, mac & cheese, fried green tomatoes, and the biscuits. Everything was incredibly flavorful and well-seasoned. And those biscuits! Moist, delicious, and so good with the jam. They were out of the gravy today, so I was disappointed I didn't get to try it, definitely next time! Last but certainly not least, my Bloody Mary was wonderful! We were so enamored we forgot to take pictures of the food. The décor is super cute and aesthetically pleasing, the service was on point, and the music created such a great vibe. Great brunch spot.

Parking is easy; there's a public parking garage next door right by the Whole Foods, as well as other parking lots across the street. The staff warmly greeted us as we walked in and took us straight to our table since we had reservations. Interior seating and decor is nice. There is a bar in the front near the entrance. We ordered a drinks, an appetizer and three entrees. Two of the entrees were really salty. We were kind of underwhelmed with the dishes as we saw so many reviews online and had high expectations. Overall, I would go again to give them another try.

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink.
