Fixins Soul Kitchen

Christopher Gorrie 3 months ago

I stopped by Fixins before heading to LAX as I had a bit of time to kill and had a hankering for some soul food. I wasn’t sure what to expect since this is a celebrity restaurant, but I’m glad I stopped by! I ordered the two-piece fried chicken plate with two sides—I chose okra and collard greens. It comes with complimentary cornbread and what I believe is a blueberry butter. I also ordered a Diet Coke. The chicken was really good. Crispy on the outside without too heavy of a batter, and super juicy on the inside. They also noticeably season the batter, and with the Fixins in-house hot sauce on it the chicken really smacked! The okra and collard greens were both pretty good, too. Not the best of either dish that I’ve ever had in my life, but definitely above average in terms of flavor, texture, and overall cook. The cornbread and blueberry butter were also pretty solid. The interior and atmosphere kind of reminds me of a Chili’s type setup, or a BJ’s, but the vibes inside from the staff and patrons are good. If you’re looking for some good soul food in the heart of LA, Fixins is a pretty solid choice.

Amazing establishment. Everyone was welcoming from the moment you enter. I had smothered chicken, rice and greens. Husband had fried chicken and red beans and rice. Peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream and a senstack side car. Everything was good. Its a vibe that heightened the experience. Dj came in about 5, r&b vibes. I 1000% recommend. Connor was our server, he was very attentive and friendly. I wasn't done with my kool-aid, he offered me one to go! Very nice place, family friendly.

The gumbo is a heavy brown gravy rue you could use to smoother chicken in. The ox tails SUPPERB!! The potato salad was good, daughter says the fish was good but what restaurant sales SWAI?? The mac and cheese had had a flour taste the greens just weren't quite right. Corn bread ok. Fried deviled eggs were a no for me. Fried green tomato was good. The okra, The Espresso Martini and Soraya were table favorites.... YAAAAASSSSSS!!

My friend and I came here to celebrate our birthdays together. This restaurant is located at La Live so it’s guaranteed to be packed with people and the parking is quite expensive, but limited in the area unless you find free street parking. Luckily, we made a reservation ahead of time and were seated immediately. Staff were all attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself was also packed on a Sunday! They also play gospel music and have a DJ during the early afternoon. The food was pretty good and price point is definitely consistent with the area it’s in! Definitely recommend if you’re in the area and craving some soul food. Food/drink review: I forgot the names of the cocktails we got, but all delicious!! They didn’t miss with the dranks! Fried deviled eggs: (2/5) These were not what I expected. They had good texture but no flavor. Wouldn’t order again. Catfish nuggets: (5/5) These were my favorite! Great flavor, texture, and great sharing portions for an appetizer. The dipping sauces were delicious. 2 piece plate: (3/5) I ordered the 2 piece chicken with red beans and rice and collard greens. Chicken had good crunch, but was dry on the inside. The red beans and rice were just Ok in my opinion and the greens definitely needed hot sauce or more seasoning. Fish entree: (4/5) Fried fish with candied yams and Mac and cheese. The candied yams were actually delicious! The Mac and cheese was okay. Fish was bomb! I’d definitely order fish next time. Red velvet cake: (3/5) I wanted to love it because red velvet is my favorite, but it was not good. It lacked flavor and was very plain. Would not order. Peach cobbler: (3/5) Again, on of my favorite desserts especially with the vanilla bean ice cream! But I was unimpressed. It was lacking the crust/texture that I love so much. Would not order again.

My family and I visited here on a Sunday while in LA for a game. Everything we ordered was delicious, no complaints at all. The service was friendly and music was a vibe. I'd recommend a reservation, it got packed as we were eating which was about time church let out. We will definitely be visiting again.
