Aunty Kizzy's is one of the most well known and popular soul food places in LA. I find it interesting that a soul food place does so well in lily white Marina del Rey. You will find a white guy who drove in his Mercedes and a black guy who may have taken the bus, both sitting next to each other and enjoying Aunt Kizzy's food.
I think Sunday Brunch is the best way to go at Aunt Kizzy's. For $14.95 you can try the wide variety of food that Aunt Kizzy's serves and you can get as much of it as you want.
The first picture has creamed corn, chicken wings, and mac and cheese. The creamed corn is great. A sweet cripsy corn covered with a sweet sauce. The chicken wings have a nice crispy skin and big, meaty inside. The mac and cheese had a lot of cheese and the macaroni was cooked perfectly.
Beef ribs and smothered pork chops. The beef ribs were pretty good. They had a good amount of meat on them. The meat was tender but there wasn't any smoke flavor. A good ribs but nothing special. I wish they didn't drown the ribs with BBQ sauce. The sauce is just too sweet and basically tastes like sauce you buy at the store. The smothered chops are one of my favorite. Nice and tender and flavorful. The brown gravy that covers the chops are is the same gravy they put over rice.
BBQ chicken, chicken wings, and rice and gravy. The BBQ chicken was a bit on the dry side. Yes, it was the breast piece but it was still dry. I've had their fried chicken and the breast piece is moist and juicy. The rice and gravy was pretty good. A nice brown gravy with the dripping of the beef ribs or the pork chops used for flavoring.
Service was terrible. That maybe unusual to say about a buffet but the staff there is rude. My girlfriend accidently bumped into one of the servers and the server said something nasty. If I heard that, I would have told that bitch off. My girlfriend didn't bump into her on purpose. It happens. But there is no excuse for that bitch server to say something nasty. The older gentlemen waited on us, was nice enough but he was slow in clearing plates from our table. The people behind the buffet table had a lot of attitude. They weren't helpful or friendly. They gave you attitude if you asked what something was or what was in a dish.
I have been to Auny Kizzy's serveral times before this and never had such a bad experience. But because of this I will not go back to Aunt Kizzy's again. Yes the food is good. But the service is terrible.
