    Barbi wings, oxtail, rice and peas, cabbage and Mac and cheese. $48
    Francis V.

    I don't like to give low ratings but the system here for ordering should be addressed for a better experience for the customer. When you walk up there are two lines outside. One is for walk in and the other is for people who have already ordered. The security guard tells you when it's your time to go inside to stand in another line to order or pick up. Mind you the lines inside are semi crossed and confusing, so if the guard does not walk you in and point you to the correct spot you might be in the wrong line or unknowingly cut someone. There's a large menu board but it does not have the full menu stating the cost for additional sides, drinks or combos. And if they run out of items you don't know until you're at the window. When you get to the window they have a paper menu, I'm not sure why it is not available before reaching the window which would be convenient and save time. After I stood in line I ordered and received my number. They do not call names or numbers, I was told to get in the other line after 30 minutes, bruh! The food is good but dang near lost my appetite after so much confusion and lack of organization. They accept Zelle and Apple Cash.

    Oxtail + Jerk Chicken

    One of the best meals I've had this year. The oxtail and mac & cheese were standouts, everything was packed with flavor. Portions are generous enough that one plate can easily feed two. The covered outdoor seating area is a nice touch. If you can, call ahead to order. Worth the wait!

    Itis!! Food coma!! This will be your result after eating from Tev's Kitchen. You're looking at Oxtail, Rice, Mac 'n cheese and Cabbage. I also purchased Wings, something I don't normally order. I saw the glistening sauce on a wing someone was eating, and I was curious. Don't skip on the cabbage. It's so tasty and perfecrly spicy which made it hard to stop eating. I purchased this order to go, arriving home over an hour later. I did not warm the food, and dove into the oxtail. They were small but plentiful, perfectly seasoned and the meat fell off the bone becoming addicting. I ate a couple of the tender wings and used the sauce as lipstick. Finger licking good. You'll love the wings . The Mac 'n Cheese will be your demise. It was tepid by the time I got home, but with every bite it was richer and more indulgent. Each bite was gooey, creamy and felt like a warm hug. I can only imagine how rich it would taste hot. I also loved the diversity of people in the restaurant. So many different cultures coming to share a meal. Good food brings people together. Parking is difficult but you'll find it. If you're lucky, you'll see the house with the cats and chickens.

    6 stars if I could. I think about this place everyday. if someone asked me "where is the best food in LA you've ever been?" without even thinking I would say here. you will have absolutely zero regrets. absolutely phenomenal.

    Jerk & garlic sauces weren't needed.

    Nice covered patio area outside to eat and a few booths inside. Security guard is on site. Second visit and Tev's does not disappoint. Service was straight to the point. Enjoyed steak, mac n cheese and broccoli. A complementary cup of Koolaid was a nice treat.

    Tevs kitchen is a must have when in la and looking to just hang out! food is heavy so that's why i say on a chill day lol but nonetheless very good, exceptionally good at that everything was amazing from the jerk chicken to the short ribs! The sides now they're on a level all alone just delicious!! service was great, super friendly and inviting they do triple check when using a credit card for online orders so please make sure to have the card handy and ID they do not mess around !

    Caribbean soul food restaurant with delicious food and generous portions. Service was friendly The menu is small so it was easy to choose what we wanted to try. We had four platters and it was so much food-oxtail, goat curry, jerk chicken and fried (boneless) chicken. Love the bold flavors of the food here. Every platter was served with mac & cheese, rice and peas, cabbage and fried plantains plus sweet iced kool aid. The oxtail was AMAZING and the jerk chicken was some of the best I've tried. The oxtail was very tender in a savory sauce that went really well over the rice and beans. The jerk chicken was well seasoned with a great smoky flavor. The goat curry was meaty and flavorful. The fried boneless chicken was good but I loved everything rise even more. The mac and cheese is so good too and I wish my stomach had more room. Definitely recommend Tex's kitchen!

    I'd been wanting to try this place for a while but was a little hesitant about spending $42 on an oxtail plate. I'm all for supporting Black-owned businesses, but the price gave me pause. I ordered online early and was number seven, so I didn't have to wait outside, which was definitely a plus. When I arrived, it took a few minutes to be acknowledged, and I was redirected a couple of times without clear communication. I expected an ID check, but the process felt excessive: having to show my email, ID, credit card, and then Apple Pay. I wouldn't have even been able to place the order or show up without matching info, so it felt a bit unnecessary. That said, I'm aware they do give a generous portion, and the food was good. However, I've had comparable oxtail plates in LA for less, so while I'm glad I finally got to try it, I'm not sure I'd go out of my way for it again.

    Tev's & Family Kitchen is pure comfort food done right. The plate was loaded with tender, fall-apart meat that was slow-cooked to perfection--rich, deeply seasoned, and full of flavor in every bite. The mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and baked just right, while the cabbage and sides balanced everything out with that homemade, soul-food touch. Portions are generous and filling, and you can really taste the love and care put into the food. Nothing feels rushed or generic--this is the kind of meal that reminds you of a family kitchen, not a fast takeout spot. If you're looking for hearty, satisfying soul food that hits every time, Tev's & Family Kitchen is absolutely worth the stop.

    Got this Cajun steak pasta from Tev's Kitchen and it was absolutely amazing. I believe it's a jerk pasta although I am not a fan of jerk I don't feel like it gave jerk flavor. I feel like it's just a very well seasoned Cajun kind of pasta. The steak was good, it wasn't chewy. It wasn't hard. The salmon was good. The salmon was really good. The sauce was good wasn't too creamy really flavorful big portion ate some for lunch dinner and then lunch the next day very pricey, it was $40. Would I have it again absofreakinlutely.

I had a Flashback Friday moment when I drove by this location. My brain quickly got nostalgic with fond images and feel-good vibes and I knew I had to stop by. My mom brought me to Pioneer Chicken when I was a child and I remember how crispy the chicken used to be. Sometimes, leftovers made it into my lunchbox. She knew how to win my heart through my belly even back then. I haven't had Pioneer Chicken since the early 90s, and I was pleasantly surprised when I dug my teeth into the drumstick. It was super crisp -- exactly how I remembered it. And the iconic orange batter was the same yummy recipe, possibly crispier than KFC's. The biscuit was my next favorite and I don't remember it being THIS good with its hint of honey flavor. The mashed potatoes and gravy have not changed, but the coleslaw was a tad different. It used to be chopped into mini squares. Now it's shredded cabbage, but it has the same light mayo flavor. Also, I love that they use less plastic Their side item containers are made of paper, both top and bottom, which also adds to the retro vibe. Loved looking at the old school photos on the wall that date back to the 1960s with Pioneer Pete, The Flintstones, and Muhammad Ali, aka the OG "G.O.A.T". It was cool to learn that Jessica, who took my order at the register, was part of a bigger franchise history. Her dad owned this location, and passed it on to his son. Family-owned for the last 38 years, this location is one of the originals. And one of the last two still standing. The nostalgia of this place will always have a special place in my heart. I'll have to come back for their fish & chips and maybe even try the gizzards on my next trip down here.
