Fried pickles
Carissa P.

Awesome chicken place! Like other reviews say, the wait time is long as every thing is made fresh to order. We originally ordered the bone-in fried chicken but were quoted 35 minutes. We switched to a sandwich and were quoted a 15 minute wait time, but our food still took over 30 minutes to come out. The vibes are simple, with minimal decor and clean interior. We got the hot chicken sando, Humble fries, and fried pickles. Everything came out hot, juicy, and flavorful. Best fried pickles I've had, and you can tell the coleslaw isn't some bagged mix! I will note that the "hot" spice level felt like a medium, but maybe my spice tolerance is high. We also met one of the owners, Luis! Luis was so kind and chatted with us for a bit. He even gave us a few free banana nut muffin cookies! Will be back. Awesome place to go to- just order ahead if you can!

Mac & Cheese
Jon N.

This was a great find for chicken! We each had a Sando and split a mac & cheese side. Good sized sandwich and with the side, it was perfect. We both did Medium spicy, and I would definitely spice up next time. Mac & Cheese was pretty tasty, too. Nothing fancy, just a good side. Fried Chicken looked good at next table and I might try that next time. No fdills, but it's clean and comfortable inside, and looks like they have some outdoor seating, but it was raining when we visited. Service was super friendly and helpful.

Stopped by here for dinner on the way up north and I was happily surprised! The shop was empty when I went on a Thursday at 6, but quickly filled up after. I ordered the classic sando with mild spice and their loaded fries to share. Everything was made fresh to order, so it did take a little longer but definitely worth the wait. The chicken was so juicy and crispy on the outside. The fries were also really yummy and seasoned well. Service was super friendly as well! Definitely recommend if you are craving a chicken sandwich.

Wanted a chicken sandwich so decided to check this place out and it didn't disappoint. We were greeted the moment we walked in which I loved. I obviously got their sando and decided to get a mild spice level. For drinks they have canned sodas or their house made lemonade so I of course had to get that as well. They were kind enough to give us an estimate of how long it would take which I appreciated. From the moment my sandwich hit was placed on the table I knew it was going to be good but it was honestly way better than I expected. I had never had a chicken sandwich with onions before but I wasn't mad at it, it worked so well. The chicken had really good flavor and we actually really wanted to take home some popcorn chicken for later but the sandos were so filling that we didn't end up doing that, we will be back to try it tho! I would also recommend their house lemonade, you can get soda anywhere but not everywhere has really good house made lemonade. We will most definitely be back here again!

Order counter/those guys are super nice and friendly/ and the kitchen is in the back.

I came here yesterday ( 5/16/26), I was going to get a massage later and I thought I get something quick and I Yelp fried chicken, this place popped up. I never had Nashville chicken before so why not try it. I parked in the back, plenty of parking, just don't park all the way up to the back of the restaurant because it seems like is for double parking. Girl, if someone parked behind you, you're stuck until they come out and move lol when I walk into the restaurant, it was tiny, is just a couple of tables and chairs. But I'm assuming lots of people don't eat inside, I see a lot of to go orders and when I ordered the small chicken, it consisted of 1 leg 1 wing 1 thigh and 1 breast for $16, with tax, is less than $18, I usually don't tip for to go orders but I just gave them what is left of my $20 in the tip jar. It took awhile like 25 minutes, I thought I might be late for my massage appointment 10 minutes away and I had to find street parking. Luckily they made it just in time for me to get to my appointment and ate a couple of bites into the leg, first bite, it has a familiar taste because of the hot sauce. I couldn't put my finger on it until the 3 rd bite, is the Tapatio hot sauce. I might be wrong but that tingly burning sensation on my lips, I know is that hot sauce cuz I put it on most of my food lol. The chicken sits on 2 pieces of white bread, maybe is for soaking up the hot sauce and grease from the chicken ?. And a couple of slices of pickles. After my massage, I continue eating the thigh and wing, is great with the dipping sauce. Overall, it was good chicken, the service was nice also, the guys working there are super friendly. And did o mentioned that the chicken was huge pieces and they fried it when you order it, that's why it took so long but is worth the wait. I would recommend coming here.

Nashville Sando and Mac & Cheese
Sal C.

The chicken sandwich was well seasoned, spicy, juicy, and crispy. The creamy mac and cheese was insane, creamy and satisfying. Overall, a great chicken spot with plenty of flavor.

Burned my mouth clean off... but it's good. Definitely worth the wait.. and you will wait but definitely very tasty. Service was nice. I would come back in a heartbeat.. yummy My sandwich wasn't spicy.. just hot because I didn't wait

Found humble bird while searching for a place to eat dinner at and I am so glad we made this stop. Customer service is great. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. We ordered the Nashville nugs and the humble melt with a side of fries. We all got the medium spice level and I will say it's pretty spicy. I love spice so it didn't bother me but if you're not a super spice lover I would definitely stick with the mild or no spice. The flavor is amazing! That humble melt is so delicious! The perfect combination of hot chicken and coleslaw I also enjoyed how the slaw is made with no mayo and the fresh raw onion is honestly the cherry on top! This is honestly one of the best hot chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Top tier! The fries are also very yummy! Well seasoned, not too soggy not too crunchy perfection! Everything is so fresh and made to order so it will take about 20 minutes or more to make (I am assuming depending on how busy they are) The ambience is pretty chill but I will say the bathrooms need some TLC they were a little dirty. Other than that it was a great experience and the food was delightful we all enjoyed it and we will definitely come back when we are in town.

The Sando
Victoria B.

Tried Humble Bird after seeing all the good reviews and wow, so worth it! I got the Sando, fries, and a side of ranch. The ranch is fire and I'm pretty sure it's made in house. The chicken was amazing, super crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The staff was really nice and welcoming, and the vibe was chill. Definitely come check it out and try it for yourself. 10/10 -V

Humble Melt
Raymond M.

I've tried so many Nashville hot chicken places. Howlin rays is the best. This place is 2nd. It's very good. Even the Cole slaw is solid. Well balanced. I got the hot and it's not that spicy. I'll go for the hottest one next time.

Humble Melt
Kristen T.

The chicken sandwiches were pretty good and the chicken was crispy, the melt was better because it comes on buttered toast and has cheese. The other sandwich needs cheese or other toppings. Medium chicken isn't that hot, the hot definitely has a kick. Loaded fries were ok but I wish it had more cheese

Nashville Sando Fries
Allyson U.

Had a really tough day and decided to treat myself to delivery (normally, I do pick up to support the business). After debating what I wanted, I decided on fried chicken sandwich. The 'where' was the second hurdle, as I was visiting to help out my fam. On the delivery app, the reviews rarely reflect those that are on Yelp. Humble Bird had consistent high marks, so I put in my order. I got a fried chicken sandwich (medium) and an order of fries w/ side of their sauce. Upon opening the bag and box, and it looked so delicious. However, someone forgot to pack the sauce for the fries. I was so hungry that I didn't miss the sauce too much, but I still would have liked to try it. Spice level worked out well for me and all the flavors were great. I wish there was a bit more slaw, but that's just me. I was worried the fries would be soggy, but they were also great and still had some crisp. Overall, so good, and it was the highlight in my crummy day. Thank you, Humble Bird! Next time I'm in the area, I'd love to visit irl to try the sauce and everything freshly made.

I had the Humble Melt in mild and I enjoyed it a lot. Not too spicy and enough flavor. The chicken was moist which is a plus. I also had the humble fries which I somewhat enjoyed. I really liked the seasoning of it, but for some reason it was too much salt for me. I had to have water after every bite of fry. The staff was great and the dining area was clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is street parking available.

Here's what we ordered and loved: - Raw Bar: Peruvian Scallops were delicious; Colossal Shrimp were good but not truly "Colossal" - Nashville hot fried catfish - best choice we made! so good. - Edisto Island Cornbread - MUST TRY and hear me out ... add a dash of the green hot sauce. You're welcome! Mocktails - "Smoke and Mirrors" was super refreshing and "Gussied up" tasted like an espresso martini! Now, if you grew up eating soul food, like me, I do have some notes. - the Sunday Greens are just ok. They needed a little more seasoning unfortunately even after we tried adding a little salt. - seafood gumbo - similar to the greens, there was some flavor missing there unfortunately. Might give the greens another try, but think I'd try another dish over the gumbo next time. They still get 5 from me and I will definitely be back to try this one again!!

When we arrived around 6 PM on a Monday evening, we were the only party seated at tables, with the other handful of guests at the bar. Despite the uncrowded conditions, our server was not the most attentive or detail oriented. We had ordered 3 entrees and 3 appetizers and were hopeful that the food would make it out on time before walking over to Crypto Arena. However, as our meal was winding down, we called the server over to cancel one of the entrees, only to find that he hadn't noted that we ordered it. Overall, the food was ok, but the poor service makes me a bit less inclined to visit again.

Luckily, while out in LA in close proximity to Chinatown, the husband was reminded of Little Jewel. There was no question where we were headed next. We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in and handed some menus. We were told to take our time, which was needed since everything sounded so good and the husband kept changing his mind on what to order. We finally settled on the Spicy Creole Jambalaya, Craw Mac Deluxe and The Crabster. It all came out hot, fresh and so satisfyingly delicious! The spice level was perfect. Portions were generous. We had initially planned on having beignets but did not have any more room -- even the dessert pocket was full! The atmosphere is very relaxed. They have several tables in the main dining area and the bar section. Orders are placed and picked up at the front counter. Everyone is super friendly. Parking can get a tricky in Chinatown. There are several flat rate lots if you're planning on spending some time. Metered parking is best for short term visits if you can find it -- we paid $4.30 for an hour.

Although it's no longer my FAVORITE food and I only indulge sparingly, I still have an affinity for it, and can quickly separate the good from the bad. Willie Mae's can confidently go into the good pile. The perfect texture of the batter is the standout. It's light and crisp. Head to head, I think I prefer the flavors and juiciness of Gus's fried chicken. I'll have to give Willie Mae's another go to confirm that this is indeed the case. But Willie Mae's is situated in a better area, it's got civilized sit down table service, cuter decor, and it has way better sides. Knowing myself, I predict that one day, I will decide to remove poultry as well from my diet (I've long excluded mammals from my diet). Hopefully more visits to Willie Mae's will happen before that day organically comes upon us.

Now they have a fairly large sit down dining room that was quite busy and it seems like there was a steady stream of takeout. Our server, Desiree was fantastic. She told me this branch was started by the same folks of the original in New Orleans. Due to a an issue with the freeway closure and horrible traffic, we were very late and she kindly honored our reservation. The food was fantastic. Great crunchy and spice on the chicken (it is on the spicy side so be careful if you cannot handle the heat). The little corn breads were just the right amount. We tried the yams, which is a must, but also shared some of the other sides. The cabbage is cooked kind of like collard greens. The butter beans and rice is very tasty. We also tried the mashed potatoes and gravy. All sides are vegan, which I thought was done for the local L.A. crowd, but we were told the sides are vegan in the original recipes. Next time I'd like to try the gumbo and other dishes on the menu.

Bludso's brisket is tender and marinated just right. While some briskets are too salty, Bludso's maintains a light and balanced flavor profile, which lets me enjoy the flavor of the beef. However, be warned that some leaner cuts might be a tad bit dry. The pork ribs were also great. although they weren't "fall off the bone" soft, it's still one of the best ones I've had in LA. The sides were also good. They weren't mind blowing but they were definitely comforting. Overall, Bludso's is a great BBQ spot that I would come to again and again. Definitely one of the best in LA. Note: I do have to say that if you're from Texas, you might not be "wow'd". Franklin BBQ in Austin is leagues above both Bludso's and Moo's (first time in my life having brisket melt in my mouth!!).
