Aunt Kizzy's Backporch

I like southern cooking but maybe I also like flavor because this did not cut it for me. The cornbread muffins that came with our meal were okay, but I've had better. The service wasn't too bad- they were really nice and not too slow. The chicken fried steak was covered in so much thick grazy that you couldn't taste the chicken. The gravy itself had no flavor and tasted like spoonfuls of pure fat. The mac and cheese was too mushy and reminded me of something I had in my high school cafeteria back in the day (and that's not a good thing!) The okra was overcooked as well. My friend's pork chop was passable, but not something I would order again, nor were the collared greens. All in all, I wouldn't come back. Just because southern cooking includes a lot of frying and fat, doesn't mean it can't have flavor! Cons: food more

My brother, daughter and I , went out to enjoy each other's company and to have a great dinner. After arriving at Aunt Kizzy's we were seated at a broken table and had to move to another one. Where do I begin to expain the rest of our experience. It took more then 15 minutes before our drink order was even taken. When we finally placed our food order and it arrived at our table. The server spilled grease on my pants and was'nt even apologetic. She mumbled something under her breath and then said do you want some club soda. She brought club soda on a dirty towel that looked like it was used to clean the kitchen floor. If that was'nt bad enough. My brothers red beans were cold and when he asked the server to bring him some hot ones say replied ""They came out the same batch as the other ones"". By this time we had had enough. Another server came over and asked if was needed anything else. I told him about our TERRIBLE and INCONSIDERATE server and we would like the check. He told us that he would send the owner right over. That's right you heard me load and clear, OWNER after explaining our horrible experience she offered me $5.00 for the dry cleaning bill and did not attemp to hear me when I told her about the horrible customer service and dirty dish towel. Listen up folks!!!!!!! Do not eat here it's not what it use to be. Aunt Kizzy who ever she is would be embarressed. Pros: You have to be kidding (right)!!!! Cons: need I say more? more

The fried chicken, smothered pork chops, collard greens, macaroni and cheese and peach cobbler at this place ALL compete with those at my beloved Jordan's Cafe. The ambience in here is relaxing, and reminds me of eating in the front room at a relative's house. I've heard about some celeb-sitings at this place, but I could easily miss superstar faces while I'm concentrating on my food. more

I know Britney eats at Aunt Kizzy's, and so does a whole bunch of other celebrities, but I still like M&M's Soul Food better. To their credit, Aunt Kizzy's has great food, and a wide selection at that. Their creamed corn, BBQ chicken, pork chop, spinach, mac and cheese were all winners. M&M's Soul Food has much better iced tea though! Their walls reads like a who's who, with all of the celebs that have eaten there. Maybe you can run into Britney, her mom & little sister sometime when you eat here. I've had no such luck...yet. Pros: Food, Service, Decor, Value more

Very warm, welcoming atmosphere with red checked tablecloths and friendly service. Simple menu with lots of Southern favorites. Go hungry - this food is dense. In fact, even if you go hungry you'll probably walk out of there with a heavy leftovers bag! Then you'll have a delicious lunch for the next day! more

After eating at places like Harold and Belle's and Uncle Darrows, I can say officially that there are much better places for southern cooking than Aunt Kizzy's. Their cornbread was good but I their chicken was overcooked and the meat quality didn't seem so great. Pros: lemonade more

I have dined here one time (about a year ago) and never went back. Service was horrible, food was cold. Tell me something, does Aunt Kizzy still have those faded dusty pictures of washed-up celebs hanging on the wall? Don't expect much, afterall someone thought naming it 'Back Porch' was a good idea. more

A true test of patience with molasses slow service. The food wasn't all that either. The fired chicken was just ok and I liked the corn muffins. I ate a better chicken fried steak across the parking lot at Nichols the week before. The sides weren't that good either. Pros: Kitchy atmosphere Cons: Slow service, not so great food more

I am from the South originally so I have been blessed with enjoying the cuisine from my home area. My friends recommended this place to satify my Southern food cravings. I was greatly disappointed. The meat was over cooked. The collard greens were flavorless. Even the corn bread was disappointing. Throw in that the waitresses seem to hate their jobs. Aunt Kizzy's is only appropriate for the typical Marina Del Rey crowd that doesn't know Southern food and wants to be treated like second-class customers. Pros: parking Cons: faux-Southern cooking, staff attitude, over cooked meat more

A Denverite visiting Los Angeles looking for some down-home cooking and found it at Aunt Kizzie's. Wonderful food and wait staff - they make you feel at home and welcome and the greens are the best anywhere Pros: Good parking, Moderately priced Cons: no wine or beer more
