Best KPortal Reviews
All right this is a great little spot! Hidden off of Lancaster boulevard and you may not notice this little restaurant, but do yourself a favor and go here.
We had a waitress named Nicole who was amazing. She was attentive and informative. And she laughed at all of our jokes. She reminded us that this place is a scratch kitchen and that everything is cooked to order. And believe me it tasted like it. It was really good. Fresh fried chicken, creamy macaroni and cheese. And collard greens that weren't super salty.
Plenty of TVs for watching sports and a nice bar that was fully stocked. Definitely want to come back to this place or even come by just to watch a football game or two.
one of the best meals ever, the food is savory and cooked to perfection, breakfast is not on the menu anymore, but it didn’t matter, we still enjoyed! i ordered the birria quesadilla
The Elm is so good! I took my grandma to lunch and we both got fried chicken, and I got the coleslaw, mac and cheese, and corn bread. The chicken was SO DELICIOUS! It was crunchy and the batter tasted so good! The cornbread was fresh and warm, and the mac and cheese was so creamy! The staff there were friendly and attentive, and kept checking on us the whole time. You do have to go to the counter to order and pay first, but I didn't mind that at all. I will definitely be back. Please check them out!
Happened to stumble across The Elm on 4/28/21, it's that kind of restaurant where you have to order and pay for your food before you are seated, it seems as though that's the way things are heading nowadays due to the dine -n- dash people...lol
The staff was very very friendly and patient, they do not have a menus for kids so you have to order adult entrees for your children if you do go there with your kids, I had ordered 2 mama bear specials, which is a Belgian waffle with whipped cream and strawberry and came with fried Chicken, a thigh, a leg and a wing and my daughter ordered the double taste which is their take on a double cheeseburger with bacon, the Patty seemed handmade but my daughter didn't like her Burger, perhaps it was the mayo, I also ordered their banana pudding cheesecake bites, peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream and the mama bear special came with your choice of one side we chose macaroni and cheese for one and for the other plate we chose yams. Everything looked so delicious as it arrived to our table, but what hit me right away was the smell of the fried chicken it didn't smell the usual yummy goodness of fried chicken so I thought maybe it was because our food was put on plastic plates that may be the chicken was so hot that it was burning the plastic and it was giving off that smell so I checked everything and it was okay nothing was burning or melted through the plastic the smell was very pungent and really smacked me in the nose so I smelt it was the chicken so that was a turn off immediately but I said let me go ahead and taste the chicken because it looks so delicious so I went on ahead and begin to taste the chicken and was just turned off, the chicken was smoking hot so I let it cool down, tried it again, still didn't like the chicken my children also didn't like the chicken I tried to give it to them and they just put it back on the plate and my daughter who's four said she didn't like it, so my 10 year old daughter tried it and she didn't like it neither, so the cook was nice enough to come to our table and asked how we were doing, how we like everything and I asked her may I ask what was the chicken fried in and she told me coconut oil I said okay that's what it is then, so if you do go there and you don't like your food cooked in coconut oil, I did make a special request, I asked if she could please fry me two thighs in regular oil and I'll get it to go and she politely did as I asked with no problem which I really appreciate it but all that chicken sat there on the table and pretty much went to waste only one piece out of six pieces of chicken was eaten actually I was hoping that she would say since you didn't like the chicken and she can see we didn't eat the chicken and that we were leaving the chicken on the table, that she would comp me the two pieces of chicken that I had her fry in regular oil but that was not offered so I paid for my chicken on my way out, her macaroni and cheese was good just needed a little more seasoning for my own taste but it was good, the yams were the kind that you bake in the oven it was cooked with plenty of cinnamon but for my own taste it needed more butter and sugar and to be more moist or have the syrup with it, the fries were good, the Belgian waffle was very delicious on its own, and the banana pudding cheesecake bites were very good as well, now the peach cobbler was tasty, but it was not prepared in the usual matter in which I'm used to having it served and that is made with a pie crust with delicious peach cobbler goodness inside, there's is made more like a cake or spongy substance with few peaches inside but it's very dry no juice inside but the taste is good.
But overall I think I will give it one more try but now I know how to order my food more better so that hopefully my outcome comes out differently, I learned if you're used to having your food prepared a certain way, it's best to ask how is it prepared when going to a new restaurant.
P.s. the chicken that we had Fried in regular oil that we took home was very tasty.
Stopped in for dessert. The young lady at the counter was super nice. I tried the cheesecake bite, the peach Cobbler and the blueberry Cobbler. Not a fan to be honest, the Cobbler was doughy and the cheesecake was a bit artificial tasting, more pudding like. That being said my husband really liked both cobblers.
I have never eaten their food. I wanted to because I heard the food was good. When I went there to eat, they said they weren't cooking right now. So why would I go back if when the place is empty and you don't want to take any customers. Good luck
High prices for soggy waffles and expired chicken...7 bucks for 1 bottle of water...will never come back even If this was the last chicken and waffles in California
Next time you're at the "Farmers Market" on the Blvd, be sure to stop in too the Elm Cuisine Cafe. Great Atmosphere, Service, Food and Staff! What more can one ask for, right? Have some cobbler and coffee all hand made from the friendly staff. Though don't argue with the "Hostess" (See Pic), you can't win no matter what you say!☺️
