“Best barbeque I've ever eaten. As a Texan, it's a shame I have to admit it's from California. The place is take-out only, but it's a great neighborhood so eating inside or on the hood of your car is no issue. Will definitely eat again the next time I'm in the area.“

“My first visit to this location. They ran out of menus, cups, and didn't have any desserts. I decided to try the chicken chili cheese fries. On the menu he had the option to add cut pieces of chicken on top for an additional fee. I opt out of the chicken on top just wanted chili and cheese. When my food arrived they put the chicken on top instead of sending it back I just tried it. The fries where okay I removed the chicken off the top because it just didn't taste right to me. I would have to try them again with extra cheese because they where sort of skimpy with the cheese. Their sunset drink is good though. No refills on specialty drinks so be prepared to pay.“

“Fixins is such a great family experience in the heart of DTLA. I love the ambience and environment, and the servers are very attentive. Having a soul food restaurant that is black owned in such a centrally diverse area is very impressive and speaks to how DTLA is continuing to grow. The food is good, the music is amazing, the service is fast, and it's just the perfect spot for a family filled evening. I would definitely recommend anyone to try it out.“

“LOVE the torta Nona. They said they needed more business and I've tried posting on social media/tagging them but don't respond/share/maximize the word of mouth. Hoping they find ways to draw in that business! We're missing out if we don't have them on this block! Only gave it four Stars for atmosphere because it's on a busy street and it's pretty difficult to cross either on foot or in a car.“

“The ambiance of this establishment is truly unique in the Los Angeles area. The tropical atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing and the cocktails are expertly crafted. Regrettably, the menu options are rather limited as several items are no longer offered so feels more like bar food than a full dinner menu. Nevertheless, the exceptional service provided by the staff is commendable. I highly recommend this venue for pre-dinner drinks with colleagues or for a casual evening out.“

“I went for lunch with a friend during the week. It was near the holidays, so pretty empty. There was one guy working the tables and the service was fine (he was friendly but took his time to come over).They definitely give you large portions, which I was happy about. I had the jambalaya and my friend ordered the salmon croquettes. Both were seasoned well and the accompanying corn bread was delicious. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because the chicken in my jambalaya had a slightly rubbery, processed taste/texture. Maybe I had a bad batch but to have such an important ingredient not work left me slightly disappointed.But I still enjoyed myself enough that I would go back again. I'd just have a different dish.“

“My husband convinced me to go to Brown's for lunch as l am not a real BBQ fan and really fussy about my cat fish. Indoor seating is limited but the food will knock your socks off. The fried catfish was the best I have had since Louisiana. It was deep fat fried but crispy on the outside and very tender and moist on the inside. I ate some of my husband's lunch. I had ribs and they were very tender and especially good flavor without being super spicy. The baked beans were good as well and the Mac and cheese was hot, not spicy hot, and was very good as well. It was like having a picnic and not having to do any of the work. Looking forward to our next visit. Small and quirky but a real treat.“

“I was visiting from out of state and had the opportunity to eat at this hidden gem. As a foodie that has visited many different countries, islands and local food establishments, this food was like heaven! The smell and the myriad of flavors spoke to my soul!! I didn't mind waiting for fresh, hot, perfectly seasoned and crafted food. If they were open all day, I definitely would've eaten there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My only disappointment is that I don't live in the state. This is a MUST dine at spot. A special shoutout and thank you to the gracious owner for memorable meals and my friend Herb for introducing me to this place. I look forward to returning.“

“A great, classic style Jewish deli with easy parking in a convenient location. Everything is fresh and delicious. But what I love is how unlike a lot of similar places, the sandwiches aren't enormous. You can easily finish one of these sandwiches for lunch without feeling like you are going to explode.“
