Been to Annie's and the food is da bomb! Best soul food restaurants in LA hands down. I am glad they are still open and thriving. If you are in LA go and check them out. So cool of you to highlight this restaurant!
Thanks for your confirmation. I need to try it.
A WHITE woman got BLACK people in the kitchen cooking. BUT getting credit.
We can’t have nothing for WHITE people
Stealing from us . WOW! Well Annie
Whoever you are, you are a thief. Talking about SOUL FOOD. Black folks named ARE food Soul Food. Now you come steal that.
The GREAT white woman does anything she wants to.
ALL the dishes on your menu came from BLACK FOLKS.
You obviously haven't eaten at Aunt Bee's M & M's because that's The Best in L.A. All Black Staff.
@@sherreasimmons6295 where is this place you speak of?
@@sherreasimmons6295 I've been there and I wasn't impressed but I do love The Serving Spoon. Also a place in Carson but I can't think of the name right now. And I do like Annie's. Maybe I have only eaten there on the day that the black folks cook!
Wow, what an awesome place to eat. Yams, stuffing, beef ribs , okra you can't go wrong. I'm getting hungry.
One question: Is this a blackowned restaurant?
I'm from Mississippi where this kinda food is in every household.. soul food in big cities is almost Taboo.. its like a special thing for them lol. Love the review
Hope to make it someday
Most people in California that eat soul food make it at home... because we are from the South, at least our roots. We would never. Furthermore, good soul food is in the hood...most are not venturing there. I live in the "hood" but nothing like what's depicted on TV. I grew up with a garden in the backyard. Most southerners maintained their ways and taught their children.
@@avionterria7855 When did white people start making soul food.? That's like black folks owning a Chinese or Italian restaurant. They continue to steal from us!
@@valerieproctor7366 who said anything about white people? You lost me
I love soul food!!!! Thanks for go deep inside LA to show us the best.
Awesome
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful restaurants with us,Merry Christmas 🎄 and Peace on Earth 🌎 to all
God bless
If I can ever make it to a soul food restaurant like that I'm going for the catfish, oxtail w/red beans and rice. Wow that looks great!
That all sounds great now.
As of 12/29/2022, the restaurant is not open at either location (fairfax or northwestern). The address given is the address to a ghost kitchen. Found out the hard way be driving all the way to LA and standing in front of a ghost kitchen like a moron calling their number to a prerecorded message.
He’s right they’re not open also I called got a recording 8:15
good. hopefully they go under
Thanks for the update I'm coming next month to LA
Go to Chef Marilyn's on Crenshaw & Adam's (South of Adams). It's a dive, but good soul food. Prices not as cheap as they used to be, but still good. Oh, it's only for takeout.
Soul food is the best! It’s always cooked from scratch! Mmmm 😊

That food looks fantastic 😍 I’ve never had food like that before.
I'm going to give it a try. Well done soul food is better than just about anything. That said, my go-to spot in LA is The Family, on Gage and Figueroa. Everything they do is pretty much spot-on. Even before I ever ate there, their bonafides were assured when my friend told me that this was the only place in LA where Black folks came to get chitterlings (if you don't get it, ask somebody), which I actually saw happen. The menu is VERY reasonable, and you get a lot of bang for your buck.

I love your videos! Merry Christmas, and God bless!
So this will be my competition when I move to Los Angeles. 😂 Very confident will my Southern Eats Restaurant. They better step the manu up. Etoufee, Creole Shrimp and Grits, Jambalaya, Boudin, Crawfish, Gumbo, Cajun Corn, Southern Style Mac and cheese, Creole fried Rice, Texas Brisket, Carolina red Stuffed fish, Gullah Savannah red Rice, Gullah Okra Soup
My mother and all of her cousins were some of the greatest creole cooks in the planet. Soul food and Creole food are completely different, creole food is gumbo, Cat fish, creole Shrimp, jumbaliya Red Beans and Rice. Two different dishes.
@@valerieproctor7366 Southern Eats Restaurant will show the diversity of the south. Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi ect

I can't wait to try this restaurant 🤤

This review has me missing my Grandmother’s cooking. I’m originally from the South and is very familiar with it all on here. I was born and raised up on Soul food. However, I’ve been out here on the West Coast for too long and sometimes forget about it unfortunately but I’m bookmarking this! I’m determined to keep this place in mind to go try!!!
Thanks so much for sharing 😊 May My Grandmother RIL 🕊
I'm from Los Angeles this restaurant is my new favorite the food looks delicious 😋
Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
The food looks amazing! Definitely worth the money.
Sure is
Exactly where I'd like to eat at when I hopefully plan to visit LA
This is cool….But, I can show you some others. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love ur channel Steve. Always great videos and great personality
Soul Food in L.A. may be stupid expensive but here in the South (Nashville) where Meat + 3 was invented you can get a generous plate for $10 . All thar food is rather common here. Food looked delicious 😋. BTW in a suburb city just outside of Nashville you can get Meat + 3 plate plus cornbread for just $5.99, drinks 99 cents. Don't be fooled on these over priced places.
Sounds about right
@@RockstarEater Come to South
As a person that lives close to Nashville 10.99 is about right for a Sunday dinner meal.
@@russhele4986 there are places where I can get it for $5.99 (2 pcs fried chicken plus 3 veggies & bread)
ALWAYS. I’m from the South but live and work out West now. Soul food and island food are both ridiculously priced here (for MID food) but, in the South, you get SOLID food and large amounts of it, sold with so much LOVE. ❤💯‼️
You gotta try more soul food ..4times! You haven't had enough to really enjoy it
Sure will
If you like Cheese Whiz Mac this is your place, Oxtails aren't always tender and when you ask for specific pieces of meat. They give what they want. I would never go back here. Also Annie ain't BLACK
Love how you highlight minority owned bidnesses it’s nice as a LA native and to see all these spots I’ve never seen since I’m from the sgv but keep it up doo more soul food!!:)
Much appreciated
Annie, the food looked amazing. Your restaurant is definitely going on my bucket list. 🪣
BEST SOUL FOOD RESTAURANT IN L.A. RATED BY WHO? YOU MUST BE OUT YOUR MIND!!!
The man is giving us his opinion of the soul food places he's been to - why the negative comment?
@@tanyasbag because we know how Asian people really are that man does not care about the culture nor the food he's just doing it to get views now that is the honest-to-god truth
i want a rating scale. im not sure where things are ranked in your reviews because it seems like everything is good.
Yessssssssssssir! You certainly made that soul food look good! Thanks for a great video
NOT Black Owned! No thank you!
My brain is confused after seeing the owner
You only eat at black owned?
@@dmotta2811 just like Asians only eat at Asians owned so what is your point that's just it you don't have one 😈⛏️
Soul food is very subjective. The way it’s cooked depends one where your Southern roots are from. My mother was from Arkansas and my dad was from Texas. My dad’s fried chicken was so good, but he couldn’t cook greens as good as my mother. We every type of greens except collards. They weren’t a staple green for either parent. My mother cooked hot water cornbread, my dad did the oven kind. The best soul food I had outside of my parents’ house was a restaurant on Central a couple of blocks north of Slauson. Can’t remember the name, but the food was delicious!
Greetings, I was looking for a good soul food restaurant in LA County and I cam across your video! I have to say that I enjoyed watching you eat this what looks like delicious soul food! I can't wait to try it for myself! Thank you for sharing! 🌺🙏🏽
Everything looks amazing!
Wow..yummy..everything looks soooo good 👍👍💕💕
First time I went to Annie's I lost my mind! Started with the oxtails. Been back several times and I've tried just about everything. Annie's is by far the best soul food in L.A. to me. Try it. You won't be disappointed!
I recommend Dulan’s in Inglewood
Sounds good
@@RockstarEater it's pretty good...not as good as it used to be.
That food looked so good. I wanted to know how much it cost to ship it. It was so on point. Everything. Five Thumbs Up for that. Whoo! Thank you for sharing and everyone stay blessed.
Another rocking video!!! 🫶Merry Christmas Steve ~~
Corn bread dressing is better than stuffing!! Food looks good tho. In the south, this is everyday food.
I love me some black-eyed peas, and collared greens, and Mac and cheese, perfect for those who aspire to be vegetarian too.
WOW!!! Everything you sampled looked deliscious and I must make a visit to sample this food for myself asap.
I LOVE Soul Food! My choice, my favorite! And I've been around!

Merry Christmas & a happy new year!!! 🌲🌲🌲🎅🎅🎅🤶🤶🤶
This place is awesome! Time to go back for more.

He sounds like someone who's never truly been exposed to a lot of soul food
You are absolutely right. Hope to find more soon!
Super dope vid, imma go check this out today for new years 🎉
Come scoop me
They have not opened at the new location. I read it in the comments, someone drove there earlier today. The old location has closed. Stay tuned, save gas. Happy New Year
Good look, I was about to go lol
I just Text my sister she lives in Lynwood. My next Stop once I visit Her😊
Hope you like it
Look I don't doubt that you enjoyed the food as you say. However, I am not impressed by what I'm looking at. The chicken, oxtails and mac n' cheese looks dry. I am African American so I am VERY familiar with soul food. I was born and raised in HELL-A, and there used to be a hand full of really great soul food restaurants here. But those days are gone. Las Vegas has some decent restaurants there. But the west coast is just a desert when it comes to soul food. The mid west and southern states have the best. Also NY City. Sorry, but that's my opinion. But thanks for your enthusiasm. I always ask Asian people where THEY go, then I go there. Same with Mexican people and their food. No shade intended but I have never heard ANY black people mention this place nor any place in Southern Calif FOR YEARS because most of the black population moved away over the last 20 years. To prove my point, the few soul food restaurants in L. A., County are relatively new. What does that tell you?
Her food is the truth. Go try it for yourself
@@geoblaine6227 , maybe I will, new restaurants open all the time, here in ELL-A. The problem here is the population is constantly moving far away or the mass exodus leaving Crappy Pornia for good. There are large numbers of Latinos and Asians here to sustain their cultural foods. The other reason that Mexican food and Asian food restaurants are able to stay open regardless of the clientele, is that they are able to sell "finger foods," and convienient "on the go" type of foods. Soul Food like most Southern American foods is mostly "sit down at a table with a fork" foods. Except of course fried chicken. But most Americans want fried chicken served with the traditional side dishes, and these are not "on the go" foods. The other issue that is a major (if not THE) reason why most people who were not born in America or whose parent's immigrated here, have never REALLY had REAL American traditional home cooking. Because the food takes a LONG time to prepare, and it tastes best fresh out of the oven. No one wants stuffing or candied yams or gravy that has been sitting for hours under a heat lamp nor, do they want it microwaved. A restaurant selling our food needs to periodically put out freshly baked or fried foods throughout the day, and THAT is where the problem is for our foods being sold here. If there are LOTS & LOTS of customers steadily buying the food throughout the day, the restaurant can comfortably get a return on their investment and keep baking a fresh batch of food throughout the day because they know it will not be wasted. If you go to Vegas, or to a large midwest city or the south or NY City, they have a large number of customers constantly buying the food so it replenished with fresh batches and the customers keep coming back and those restaurants STAY open for DECADES and become tourist attractions. I have been to Sylvia's in Harlem, and everything was fresh and delicious!
I was born here and it is heartbreaking to see what has happened to this place. It went from heaven to ELLE in an handbasket ! The same thing that happened to soul food restaurants here, happened to mom and pop Italian restaurants. You can tell that people are tired of the oversaturation of Mexican food and Asian food by the explosion of Nashville Hot Chicken restaurants opening EVERYWHERE ! In Cerritos, there are 5 different Nashville Hot Chicken restaurants that opened up within 3 blocks of each other ALL on the same blvd ! None of them are black owned but many of them deliberately hire black staff members because the Hot Chicken method was invented by black people in Nashville. They also know that there is a yearning for "American" traditional foods.
So, I may give this restaurant a try, although I live on the South Orange County border and don't get up to L.A. much any more. Although I am not enthusiastic, I am open minded. But bot open minded enough to spend the rest of my life in this state. Stick a fork in it, it's DONE ! Good wishes to the owner of this restaurant.
@@kitcatmeeow571 I’m from LA too.
@@geoblaine6227 , kool ! How long have you lived here? Me 50+ years 😏
Wow! Congrats on the growth of your channel. It seems like you were at around 20k subscribers when "David from Davids's been here" had you on as the expert guest on a "Dim Sum" video he did when I first saw you and now you have 4 to 5 times as many subscribers in less than a year (or so it seems). I could be off on the length of time it has been but I don't think by a lot.
I guessed ribs and Mr Rockstar picked oxtail as his best pick. The ribs looked rocking. I would also recommend Brazilian food.
I am putting this place in my to go asap next year. I enjoy everything you tried, especially oxtails and fried chicken and fish. Thanks for this discovery.
Hope you like it
Gotta try it at the new location amazing rockstar love your videos
Try Gullah Geechee food or Mississippi River Soulfood
Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
Where in L.A. area is Gullah Geechee or M. River food?? Why advise to try such food, but not point out where you can get it??
I’ve never eaten at a soul food place before. I had one in my town but it got shut down unfortunately
Food looks delicious!!
Sure is
Did you stop by Hansen’s Cakes???
hey man, i remember i saw you in ktwon CGV mall like few years ago vlogging eating corn dogs all by yourself. and when you had like 5k subs etc. but now over 100k!. wow. to be honest, no offense your early vlogs were terrible...haha...awkward looking ...hesitant speaking tone etc. but seeing you now is clear your more natural now and got a nice routine going. mass props man. congrats.
I want to go eat with him. I love people who enjoy good food. Guess I'm driving over the hill to eat some soul food 😋😋
Soul food is great cooked very well fresh ingredients to give you the flavor and tastes you’ll,tell everyone that the food so good and very delicious

This guy is definitely being paid to eat here. Nothing he is saying is authentic, and he barely ate any of the food. LOL
👏 I thought I was the only one that recognize that these Asians are something else you know why he's doing it right just to get views that's all tired of these people!
Do they sell chitlins
Annie soul delicious!!! looks so good!!! YUM!! All this soul food look so good!!!
Tried this place. Gave it a try twice but the cook was heavy handed on the salt
I drive trucks, and I found it is better SF places up North,then some cities down south, Dallas you would think got a lot but not the case, Detroit, and Chicago,has a lot, New York has Sylvia, and essence
There’s Sweet Georgia Brown’s in Dallas, but we cook soul food at home all the time!
Little Ethiopia?????? Nah that is definitely not where the best soul food is. Just checked out their history, they are not even a authentic soul food restaurant. If you want real authentic soul food you will not find it in Little Ethiopia or Hollywood.
Best soul food is in East LA
the best soul food is in inglewood (dulan’s)
@@andyxfish not true. where in east los angeles is there soul food???
@@sarahbaartmansrevenge where the Mexicans are.!
@@andyxfish your sarcasm will get you nowhere you know damn well Mexicans don't eat soul food let alone like black people so cut it out
Wow!! Yummy 😋 and I thought that “Dulan’s” was the spot! I gotta go try this place!!!
Looks so good
What did you do with the leftovers?
Thank you for this!!!!
I love this place, there food is amazing. The ox tails and the smoke turkey is a delicious meal. Everything they sale here has been the best soul food I've eating.😋🤣👍🏾

Next time you eat greens mix the cornbread in it. That’s the only way I eat greens. If I don’t have cornbread no greens for me.
yum! also, my hubby got me a mic, kind of like yours, for my youtube videos, but it has an odd delay on it, but for yours, im surprised that it picks up so much background conversation. i wonder if your mic has an adjustment to cut all that background out? did your mic have a delay when you got it, and if so, how did you fix that?
❤yes I love the smothered turkey wings she is so nice it’s a whole Vibe❤

If you've never had soul food, pls give this restaurant a try. My 90 year old Louisiana born mother raised us in CA on delicious dishes like these, not every day but mainly on Sundays and definitely on holidays. She taught me, and I taught my son. The legacy of our soul food heritage will continue.

no thank you... would you really eat Korean, Chinese, Viet Meneese, or Japanese (sushi) food from any other group? Close but no cigar, there are plenty of AUTHINTIC places in LA for this type of meal. Note during the Korean war it is documented fact that a particular group of soldiers shared their cooking and cooking techniques in that country and now this. Spend money in LA from the restaurant that offer this plate from the community that perfected it. Comfort LA, Dulan's Soul Food, Watts Coffee House, The Serving Spoon, Gus's World-Famous Fried Chicken, The Trap Kitchen, Earls's on Crenshaw, M;Dears, Taste on Universal, Red;s Flower Table, Bayou Grille, Bludso;s BBQ, JR,s BBQ, Honey,s Kettle. #THE MORE YOU KNOW...
Soul Food has a wide berth in both quality and in expert preparation. Unlike most cuisines, which cook either a good or a not so good version of a dish, Soul Food depends so much regarding both the ingredients and the mama's kitchen-touch (for instance canned greens or yams, and packaged cornbread mix never works). Also, the proper combination of mains and sides are key. For instance, not every dish should be sweet, and one must be careful not to have too many deep fried items on the table, - or too many things slathered in gravy, even if all five different gravy's are each delicious. A great Soul Food meal is one that you AND the cook have to work at together to balance correctly. If you crave some Mac & Cheese, then have a fried Pork Chop with Onion Gravy as your main. If you want Beans & Rice with sides of Greens, Stewed Okra, Potato Salad and Slaw, then have fried Catfish & Hush-Puppies as your main. I think that the best way to put together a great Soul Food meal is to first pick your three to five sides, and then to choose the mains that go with them. For instance, Mac & Cheese is great, but it doesn't pair well with Shrimp and Grits. Candied Yams are amazing, but if you pair them with Mashed Brown Sugared Sweet Potatoes, Cornbread, Grits, and BBQ'd Beef Ribs followed by Peach Cobbler, it is all too much "Sweet". Good stabilizing Ham-Hock Greens pair well with BBQ or fried things. Braised Ox Tail Stew goes great with Beans & Rice and Yams. Fried Chicken is the perfect accompaniment for Waffles with syrup and a side of Collards. Shrimp & Grits is delicious, but it doesn't go well with a side of Fried Catfish. However it goes great with Cornbread and a side of Andouille Sausage, Fried Okra, and a Bowl of Black-Eyed Peas. Soul Food is not only about great dishes. You also have to combine things correctly.
Wow, you really know your stuff
You too extra ‼️Soul food is food cooked with love and is from your soul whatever culture it may be 🙄😁
Thanks for this review was curious about this spot ever since I heard about it on Corey Holcomb’s 5150 show

Food looks amazing, but my issue as a local Los Angeleno, as many Soul food restaurants and owners that is amazing and has not been given the same opportunity to lease or own in heavy and diverse cultural areas behooves me in 2023. Those that have been amazing and made it to such areas ( Hollywood, mid Wilshire, Downtown & parts of the valley are always targeted and shut down. I think African Americans deserve to know why this continues to happen in 2023. I'll wait....
