    This place is a great deal all the way around . I got like two chickens and sides for like 35 dollars or so and the chicken was very good, tender and flavorful and very juicy . I will continue to come here, best deal in town, friendly service and a good place all the way around .

    Bomb chicken. Smells sooo good as you walk in. This place is a little hole in the wall place. But very delicious. Always full of customers.

    Good food, for those family gatherings. I rather get a family meal from Pop's Chicken then from Pollo Loco or any other chicken place.

    Okay, here's the scoop. For over the last three years, my family and I have been passing by Jim…read moreDandy. Each time we passed by, it seemed like they were closed and or never answered their phone when we called to see if they were open. We kept telling each other one day we're going to stop by and see if they actually are open. So on Friday after exiting the freeway I made my way to Jim Dandy and saw folks going in and coming out. This location is in the middle of the hood. They have bulletproof windows once inside and this location is order and pickup, no dining available. I didn't see the menu until I was done with ordering. Which made it hard for myself. I seen the menu after I ordered. I walked out with 12 pieces of chicken regular not spicy. Corn fritters, macaroni salad, peach cobbler and a banana pudding. Once home we set up our table and began to devour our food. We were blown away with the chicken it is better than most places we have been to not saying any names. The pieces of chicken were huge fresh and crispy. The macaroni salad was just right amount of mayo and seasoning. The peach cobbler was wrapped perfectly not damaging the crust. The banana pudding was a little watery not sure if that was due to the heat going on in the bag as everything was bagged together. I immediately put it in refrigerator so it could get cold and become solid than running. I have no idea what there hours are next time I go in I'll ask or look for signs. There is plenty parking not that folks stay long. Food seems to come out in a timely manner. So parking comes and goes. I cannot wait to try there dirty rice and corn fritters without the powder sugar. I didn't get a photo of them as they got devoured.

    Came out to LA for work and was craving some fried chicken. I was planning to hit my usual spot,…read morebut I passed by this place, looked it up, and decided to give it a try--glad I did. What a great find. It's a counter-order, takeout-style spot, which was no problem at all. The service was solid. The guy who took my order also handled putting everything together, and you can tell when someone's on it--nothing was missing and everything came out right. I ordered a 3-piece, and it definitely hit the spot. The chicken was flavorful and satisfying, and the onion rings were just as good--crispy and delicious. I got there a little late, and it felt like a true local spot. Everyone was relaxed, just there for some really good fried chicken. No hype--just good food.

    Banana pudding has banana slices and vanilla wafers in the pudding. I wish California had more places that sold this.

    I tried this restaurant for the first time about two months ago, and it was so good that I came…read moreback the very next day. The owners were in the kitchen both times, and the food was excellent. A few weeks later, I returned when the younger staff was working. They accidentally forgot to charge me for my meal. Thankfully, I'm an honest person and reminded them. That visit, the food was much heavier on the lemon pepper seasoning than usual. Today, I ordered the fish and shrimp dinner, and as soon as I opened my container, I noticed the food looked much darker than on my previous visits. It seemed like the fish and shrimp may have been fried in the same batter or grease used for chicken instead of the usual cornmeal fish batter. The fish also had an aftertaste that reminded me of old chicken grease, which was disappointing. I know this restaurant is capable of serving great food because I've experienced it firsthand. My suggestion would be to provide additional training to the staff so the food is prepared consistently, regardless of who is in the kitchen. Consistency is what keeps customers coming back.

    I saw this place on social media and stopped after work to support since it is black owned…read more My order was called ahead. As I walked in, food was ready, but the glass refrigerator was inoperable. There was no fresh seafood in sight. Oh lawd!! Had I known, I probably would've not ordered that day. In fact, the entire shop was kind of dark. There was no posted menu, price list, etc. None were printed either so I went off of previous yelp posts. I ordered the #2 combo with 3 pieces of file of soul, 10 medium shrimp, red beans/rice, greens & a small side order of hush puppies. Though, I was shorted 2 pieces of shrimp. Seafood was well coated, but crust kind of "peeled" off of the fish in big chunks. The ends of the fish were somewhat dried out and I don't think the fish was the freshest (since not noticeable on ice), not enough for the coating to fully stick. The sides were authentically cooked. Red beans had a slight kick. Greens portion was small and needed more seasoning. Hush puppies are well flavored although mine were slightly undercooked. Quick fix in the air fryer when I got home. I will give this place another try. My job is nearby and coworkers like to eat. Next time I hope the seafood is on ice and everything is fully operable. I may have to order upon arrival.
