This was an unexpected drive by discovery and I was not disappointed. I had a half rack of the ribs and a cup of gumbo and I enjoyed them both.
While they have a few tables outside, this is more of a takeout or delivery place.
I need up because I didn't see the Friday Fish Fry deal, so vote I'll have to go back on another Friday for that. 🎣
Saw this place the night before.. Creole catfish special $21.99 3 pieces, thin, breaded, fried came with Cajun FF, 2 hushpuppies(really good), and Cole slaw(not bad)-wasn't a fan of thesauce that came with it. Would have been nice if they gave you some lemon and hot sauce. Got sides of red beans(good) and southern greens(OK, slightly bitter). Desert was buttermilk pie $4.50 I think(really good, 1st time ever trying it). (Side note- Walmart in Porter Ranch has a whole buttermilk pie, Patti LaBelle brand $7, a slight bit less sweet but also very good.
Following week ordered delivery 16 Oz Gumbo (pretty good), mac n chees(really good) shrimp and grits ( grits good, plain boiled shrimp not seasoned, description says comes with remoulade but it was a weak flavored broth)
REVIEW TIME:
I have travel every inch of Southern California in search of Soul Food that can satify the country boy in me.
After 4 years I have found it.
The thickness and texture of the grits are perfect.
The Smoked Chicken is SMOKY GOODNESS.
I bit 1 rib threw is down, because I felt they almost stole my recipe. HA! Pick that rib up & ENJOYED!
THERE ARE ANGELS ON THEIR WAY TO DELIVER GREAT BLESSINGS UPON THIS FAMILY OWNER BUSINESS. I PROFESS THIS.
THIS IS AUTHENTIC SOUL FOOD DESERVING OF 5 STARS.
Been wanting to try this place for a while finally was able to do it for lunch there is no dine-in only take out the order in advance but the food was delicious we had chicken and a cup of Gumbo mac and cheese and peach cobbler the peach cobbler was a lot different it was lacking peaches if I'm eating peach cobbler I want peaches peaches peaches but other than that oh and they have some type of mixed that's really really good if you're ever in North Hollywood and you get a chance please stop by and check them out
Enjoyed this place quite a bit. There bbq sauce is spectacular. Brisket was tender, juicy, and the right amount of fat. Very meaty St. Louis style ribs that were tender. Gumbo was full of shrimp and sausage with a little zing of spiciness to it. Jalapeño cornbread was moist and delicious. Coleslaw was crisp and tasty. My least favorite item was the red beans and rice, but i think it's because I was full and had a liot to live up to when compared to everything else I ate. In addition I think the price was more than reasonable. In fact I think it was a bargain. I'd really rate Black Bottom overall around a 4.6 or 4.7, but the rating system doesn't allow for this score. Lastly, the restaurant seemed like a family run business and they were working hard. I'll support this type of place anytime I can.
