“Very trendy new hot chicken place in Hawthorne. This is my second time here and both times the restaurant has been extremely clean with friendly and professional staff. This time we came for a late night eat post football game and it was a cool vibe again. The menu is pretty simple but has some dope variations like the Mac and cheese fries. The only thing that I thing is a bit strange is the asking for a tip while paying for food. It doesn't encourage any good behavior and I think restaurants as a whole should stop using that unless they are serving you. Tips come after service period. That aside the food is pretty good and the tater tots have a ton of crunch. The chicken is heavy on the batter which is standard for hot chicken in my experience but it goes great on the sandwiches. The sauces are awesome too so keep it up“
“We had a great time at Gritz N’ Wafflez! The vibe was like home. We live in the south so we love grits. They were creamy and delicious. The drinks were fresh and refreshing. The chicken was seasoned and tasty. I loved the music. It was like being in your kitchen waiting on hot breakfast to be done on a Saturday morning.“
“Don't live close any more, but I drove 140 miles to see if they are still great. Answer: yes! The way they treat you, it feels like "welcome home". Had an omelet full of New Orleans flavors. Left full and happy. 5 stars all the way!“
“The shrimp with sausage was amazing the waitress convinced me to buy a margarita and it was delicious as well. The servers are so polite and nice I would 100% recommend this place can be a little bit pricey, but that’s expected with seafood but it’s worth the money.“
“I had no idea how this worked when I went, but the food tasted great. You will get your food marinated in a bag and you have to peel the food on your own. They give you a bin and gloves. Very reasonable prices and attentive service, I would come here again.“
“The food was absolutely amazing. I got the brisket po'boy and my wife got the surf'n'turf po'boy. We were greeted by Norwood and he explained everything about the menu and their service philosophy. The environment was so friendly and the food was better than anticipated. I can't believe the po'boys were only $13. You gotta try this!!“
“I moved her about a week ago and Uncle John's was one of the first places I stopped at and I now have to look no further for anything else. I get coffee here every day and have had two of their lunch boxes (today was bbq pork w sesame cold noodles, minus a few bites I took before the photo) for only $8 and what great portions and quality they give you. The place is always filled with people eating and talking, customer service is the best. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!“
“Food, chef's kiss! I'm yelling cuz it's that good! Too bad I'm not a morning person, but to have some Red's breakfast, I will wake up early. We ordered Texas scramble with potatoes. Those potatoes have my heart! So good! Also ordered shrimp & grits - 100% stamp of approval. So delicious and full of flavor. Not runny but substantially good. Can't wait to try the other items on the menu.Picked up food so didn't eat inside. I suggest calling in your order because they get busy, especially during the holidays.“
“I give the food at 3 it's not the worst food but the atmosphere and the food don't coherent the atmosphere is great but the food and the pricing don't go together the food should be a little bit better for the price and then the atmosphere and the price would go great I always get the gumbo and the small crabs is complete mush but the rest of it is deliciousParking: Limited parking... The parking lot has about 7 parking spaces that's usually full but there's free neighborhood parking“
“I work nearby and I’ve been craving something sweet so I picked up some banana pudding from here and it was SO GOOD! It was the perfect amount of sweetness, bananas were good and the wafers still had texture to them. If that was just the dessert, I can’t wait to come back for the food!“
“Food is so full of flavor and absolutely delicious! Combo #2 was perfect for three. We enjoyed the crab, shrimp and clams very much and the tray also came with a bit of corn, potatoes and sausage. Everything was fantastic and the service was very friendly and quick. It's a very simple, small restaurant with great food and service.“
“Never disappoints. Always super delicious. Fast and efficient service every time. We come for their Cajun shrimp and crab legs. Don’t forget to try their fried rice! The atmosphere is a little quiet but the food and service make the experience so worth it.“
“Went there today just before closing. Purchased oxtails with candied yams & rice and gravy. Excellent tasting, the gravy was delicious oxtails were falling off the bones and the candied yams were very good also. Did not really like the corn bread dressing. The hostess, Star was very friendly and welcoming. I'm from the Chi and recommend it highly. Price was right also.Looking for good food check Matthews at 2222 W. Rosecran out. They also have delivery. Thanks Star, MickeyParking: Many“
“Ordered fresh oysters. They were nice but so small in size. Never had oysters that small. It's like a quarter sized coin. Ordered the crab but was not told it was a frozen crab. The texture was not very nice. Crab was charged as such though. Also, I ordered clams, shrimp,eggs, potatoes, and the calendar fries. All were as expected but the clams were very nice and large. Last comment is the spice level. Seems Westwood' XXX is different than Rosemead's XXX. Westwood XXX is not spicy at ?“
“Let's get right to the fooooood! I had got creole style catfish, blackened over a bed of crawfish rice with creole sauce & then paired with red pepper cabbage and Mac & cheese. The catfish with the creole sauce legit so good and comforting so to speak! The cabbage went great with it, so nicely steamed and seasoned. The mac & cheese wasn't my favorite, seemed overly seasoned with pepper. Everything else was great, I savored every bite!“
“Had recently visited New Orleans and needed something in the SoCal area to scratch that itch. Had the seafood gumbo and a shrimp po'boy with mac and cheese. The owner was lovely and incredibly nice. Food did take a bit of time but so worth it. The shrimp in the po'boy was well seasoned and had amazing flavor. The gumbo was phenomenal as well, packed with everything you'd expect giving you a nice warm fuzzy feeling after eating it. Mac and cheese was great too, rich in flavor. Will drive up from OC to eat here again soon.“
“I was missing New Orleans today, so I headed to Google to see if I could find a place that served po boys. Being from Houston, I was skeptical that there'd be any good options this far west. I was wrong. The fried shrimp po boy has my seal of approval. The breading, seasoning and flavor is excellent. Just the right texture and crispiness. The bread and fix-ins--also great. It's all right up there with Parkway and the other NOLA mainstays. The interior is on point. Definitely felt like I was back in the Gulf Coast. I'll for sure be coming back to try more of the menu.“
“First time , walked in and seated immediately. Our server Salome (?) was wonderful. Personal and helpful with the menu . Loved her French accent . Several families seated and couples, looks like a good place to go after Church? . They have a Sunday brunch till 2 pm . Too late for us ,but was glad . We ordered the lunch special $18.00 of 1/2 po boy of choice, and a gumbo /gumbalaya/ bisque . Had the grilled shrimp , good size for 1/2 sandwich and a lot of shrimp . The Bayou bisque is sooo very good !! Lots of fish, white sauce on rice . Hubby had the gumbalaya , he liked it but liked mine more ! They have their hot sauces on the table , Pepper, chipotle, raspberry and garlic sauce . The garlic hot sauce isn't that hot , very tolerable for me and adds a little spice . Loved it ! Big jars for beverages! And our server left a carafe for us to refill .I ordered dessert to go , white chocolate bread pudding with the bourbon caramel glaze on the side $12.00. it probably is HEAVEN served warm at the restaurant but I ate some it at home at room temp. Sooo good ! All the desserts are made by the owner . Will be our new go to when we visit Redondo in the future!!Parking: Has their own parking lot but since we walked up to restaurant , we didn't check it outKid-friendliness: Very casual , families were present , popular for after churchWheelchair accessibility: Easy to enter and pull up at a table“
“My family and I enjoyed the food at Shrimp by You. One waitress was very nice. I ate the lobster roll and it was very tender and great savor. My parents also enjoyed eating crabs. This restaurant is very comfortable and the seafoods are also very good too.“
“This is my first time eating seafood boil at a restaurant and I had a great experience here! Luis was our host and he was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and came out quickly. I ordered the shrimp (head on) and snow crab with daddy sauce and medium spice (I didn't feel that it was spicy, but perhaps that is just my tolerance). Would definitely recommend to friends.“
“This is the hoodest spot ever to go stand in a haphazard covid line for some chicken and fried rice but yes we will travel like it's 1999 to go get it!! We have had everything on the menu including accidentally eating the wrapper trying to get to the last french fry at the bottom of a Lawd help me greasy bag and I must say this place is blessed and anointed with the gift of keep it coming!!!“
“Enjoyed our meal. 1 small bad was my not spicy soup had SOMETHING SUPER spicy in it. That took a while to recover from. Also be aware the receipt has a line for tip but the automatically include the tip in your total. They failed to tell us this which is not so cool. Still, I'd go back to try more things. The Cajun fries were amazing.“
“Atmosphere felt welcoming. Like there sauce but wish it was a thicker consistency not to watery but has great flavor.Kid-friendliness: They have a Kid Manu of choices.Wheelchair accessibility: It has a ramp sidewalk to the businesses. Has double door to open. Tables to removable chairs to make space for any disability.“
“Grand opening! Great location with all the sandwich classics, plus po' boy sammies and desserts. I've tried the onion rings, cheesesteak, shrimp po' boy, turkey and cheese, and a chicken salad sandwich.I've been stopping by everytime I drive by the area!Friendly service and very fulfilling eats!“
“The food is good when they have the right chef other times is like they just want to cook something fast and mess up the food like one example the kung pao chicken should be spicy but it wasn't this 3rd time that I went there also the spicy fish wasn't either and no flavor ,and I've tried those before and it was “
“This is a small place next to a small parking lot. So I was there on a rainy late Saturday afternoon and got right up to the order window. I had the fish and shrimp combo with cabbage and red beans & rice. The fish was fairly thickly and crunchy-battered cooked just right. The shrimp were quite large for a combo plate... this place isn't cheap, but they have it all down to a Cajun science. Food: 5* (Delicious to an item) Service: 5* (Delivered to my car) Looks like I'll be returning here!“
