Los Angeles natives know that all Louisiana Fried Chicken spots are not the same. True O.G.s know what I'm talking about and also know exactly where in L.A. to go to get it right. So let me go on record to say that this Carson location is absolutely the best Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken south of the 105 fwy. They stay busy, so the chicken is always hot, fresh, and delicious. In fact, at least one piece of my order never even makes it out of the parking lot. Their Dirty Rice is seasoned to perfection, with just enough spice to bite you back. So save yourself a trip to L.A. This is the right spot.

The older lady that took my order was very nice but there was a young man there working i saw the Fries were hard I asked can they make us some soft fries when we got our food the young man told me that we have to ask when we order our food I let him know that every time I come the fries are soft he began to talk over me 2 times I was trying to let him know that we always come and they always soft they're never hard and he kept talking over me so I just walked away with my food. My food was good
