    It Was Good, Variety of Choices On Menu. I PERSONALLY HAD THE Spare Ribs With Rice&Gravy & Two Sides Macaroni & Mashed Potatoes. (The Macaroni Was Wayyyyy To Cheesy For My Liking) BUT I ENJOYED & WILL BE BACC PLUS THEY TAKE HOT MEAL (EBT)

    Everything is Absolutely delicious! Don't like the cornbread muffin.....but then again ......they probably make it to where anyone can eat it(heartburn,high bloodpressure, diabetic..etc) so add some pepper and salt to taste. U can tell the food is made with ❀ and consideration of others that may have health issues. Because it's not salty or over peppered. The website is not accurate about the days of operation because this place is not open on Mondays or Tuesdays and they open at 11 Monday through Friday I believe and I I think they close at 7 Wednesday through Friday. I am unaware of their Saturday and Sunday hours of operation. The number that comes up on Google is the accurate number if they answer you're in luck you can place your order over the phone and pick it up. If it goes straight into a voicemail they're most likely not open or it could be extremely. This place is also tied to an organization and you can look up their information on the website under dare you to care. There you will find information on the founder of the restaurant and her connection to the organization. And by the way I usually order the two pieces of chicken with either macaroni and cheese and yams or macaroni and cheese with rice and gravy. Don't forget salt and pepper to taste this food is not made just for one group of people this food is made for everyone so it's not salty and it's not too spicy. Or if you are person that just enjoys the natural flavors of food you got a winner.

    Golden Bird was the first job that I held as a teenager and I was very proud at the way we dealt with the customers, plus the pride with the preparation of the food was outstanding. I see that has all gone down hill. The other day I visited the Gardena location and asked for a 2 piece. Ince I drove off and began to eat my food, the first thing that I noticed, is that it tasted old. I dont just mean old from sitting up all day, bit old from it being in the freezer for too long. I was very disappointed to say the least and will not be returning

    I enjoyed their food... I didn't particularly care for the instant mashed potatoes... had I'd known that they were "instant" and not real mashed potatoes I would have passed on the instant mashes potatoes, and definitely not ordered that particular item with my 3 ( three)to go orders. Other than that..everything was good and seasoned just right... :) I support this business, and I love that they are also an organization that is helping men and women get back on track with their sobriety.. Dare U To Care Grill is helping to keep them gainful employment and also helping them establish stable housing. Everyone deserves a second chance... Dare U To Care Grill is doing great things!! I prefer to support those who care enough to help and give back!!

    I've been on the search for good Fried Chicken. My junior high friends told me about this place and I loved it because they cook the chicken when you get there. It's a really nice place and I will be returning. They were really friendly also.

    Fantastic, delicious, comfort food and cozy dining room. This is a good place to meet up with friends and enjoy some home cooked, slap your mama meals. We will be back for the ox tails and meatloaf for sure.

    $28 for a HALF of a Turkey wing & dressing dinner with Greens, Mac & cheese, Xtra size of greens. This Jr size plate made me HOT! I will NEVA go back, even though the food is good & the people are nice. I can't spend $30 for HALF OF A TURKEY WING & A SMEAR OF DRESSING. The pictures with the WHOLE TURKEY WING was from Delicious on Crenshaw & it was MORE FOOD for less money & tasted Incredibly GOOD. ((Waving πŸ‘‹πŸΎ bye-bye DUTC))

    Well hidden, very low profile looks like Golden Bird Chicken but, trust me one of the best little jewels and Gardena. Excellent food πŸ‘Œ. Nice portions. Closest thing to your grandma's cooking

    The food is always cooked daily and fresh. The fried chicken is to die for. Prices are good and fair. You will not pay no more than you would at any other resteraunt. The service is top notch. Can't wait to go back.

    Best fried chicken in the South Bay. Mac n Cheese should be called Cheese n Mac! Friendly people. Proceeds support a rehabilitation program to get people back on their feet again!

  • 1/5 Robert Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Got the fried chicken, it was not freshly fried. It was cold in the center and dry even though it was dark meat. The entire 8pc was this way. What "chicken" place served reheated fried chicken???

  • 5/5 Jae K. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is amazing.Best to order ahead because the food is made fresh. Great place for lunch and dinner (haven't had the breakfast yet but I will). Very friendly staff.

  • 3/5 Jason M. 2 years ago on Google
    Wanted to love this place but the golden bird chicken was not anywhere near the original. Didn't try anything else so can't review it . Love the idea of second chance restaurant though.

  • 4/5 Olivia W. 3 years ago on Google
    The chicken appeared to be REHEATED from days ago. But, BABY those Short Ribs and Gravy was tender and DELICIOUS. I got my Greens and Cabbage mixed and it was marvelous. I will be returning on SUNDAY to try the dressing.

    Southern home cooking at its best. I love this place. They have good food and fair pricing. My mouth is watering right now!

  • 1/5 Bigg R. 3 years ago on Google
    Nasty, this tastes NOTHING like the real golden bird. Food bland as hell, chicken is greasy, soggy and dry. I’m happy it was only $7 but I still want that back. Save you money or drive a little further to one of the REAL Golden Birds

  • 5/5 karin m. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Nancy A. 10 months ago on Google
    The chicken was perfectly fried, hot and fresh. Crispy. Just like fried chicken should be. Nice place, friendly service. Been trying to eat here several times but it never worked out. Worth the wait.

  • 1/5 R. S. 10 months ago on Google
    I had carry out. The chicken was old. Tasted like they had the food warmed up in some type of warmer and I couldn't eat it for a while, because it was just too hot. Biscuit wrapped in plastic. Just skip it and go to Churches.

    Mac & cheese is my favorite

  • 1/5 Sonnetta W. 4 years ago on Google
    I'm sad to say this place has went down. I went about 2 weeks ago and I ordered a Turkey chop dinner and a 3 piece chicken dinner. I paid a little over 40 dollars....lmao, which was not good at all. The Turkey chops were seasoned good but not cooked enough. The mac n cheese was dry and possibly old. The chicken was old as well and too greasy as my daughter puts it. You only get get 2 sides so why was the food priced so high? I usually don't mind paying but not when the food is terrible. So with that being said I can no longer return βœŒπŸΎπŸ‘‹πŸΎ
