Black Bottom Southern Kitchen

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.

The staff and customer service here is amazing, they're very friendly and inviting. Unfortunately the barbecue is just okay there's nothing great about it.

Do Not waist your money!!!!! I don’t even write reviews but I had to on this one. I got out in the pouring down rain to go get this food the bake beans was hard taste like sweet chili bake beans ewwwww, the Macaroni and cheese was extremely DRY, the greens was bazaar the only thing I did like was the ribs, they are good and tender oh yeah the corn bread was good but them sides they got to do better!!!!!! I really want my $25 dollars back it was so terrible.

I've been back and forth past this place for years but never stopped in, and I'm sad I didn't sooner. Unfortunately there's no dining area, save for a lone wooden table outside the front next to the parking lot with maybe 5 or 6 chairs around it (most likely solely for waiting while your food is made). So, don't come expecting a dine-in experience, but don't let that turn you off one bit.I ordered the 3-piece Smokehouse Chicken (I got dark meat only), a side of Mac N Cheese, and sweet tea. Very fairly priced, I might add! I only had to wait maybe 10 minutes to get my food.The chicken was still hot, freshly cooked. I always taste cooked meat first before adding any sauce to get it's true flavor, and this was fantastic. The skin was crispy, perfectly brown and charred, but the meat was still juicy. Delicious smoky bbq flavor, I could have eaten it alone. Adding the bbq sauce was an extra level of delight. Smoky flavor with the right amount of spice and faint sweetness. Putting them together felt like I was transported across time and across state lines, immersed in a pristine, outdoor southern bbq setting. The sun, the landscape, the friends and family and neighbors, all intertwined with the delicious smell and flavor of an outdoor fire cooking everything to perfection.The Mac N Cheese was delicious on its own, but I added what little bbq sauce I had left and brought it up another notch, as well.It came with a jalapeño cornbread muffin/roll, which isn't really my preference style for cornbread, but it was still good. I like sweet cornbread but, hey, it's all good though I would love to see an option for one or the other. It would also be great if they could ditch the parking lot and make it a seating area to allow a dining experience.Whatever you do, though, make sure you stop in and check out this place. I don't see how you could be disappointed.

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)
