Alma's Place

We tried Alma’s after a review from Tik Tok and it did not disappoint! I love that the restaurant is family owned. The server was so helpful and amazing. The fish was cooked to perfection. The macaroni was delicious. I wasn’t the only one who thought so because my husband and I bought the last two. I was craving more 🤤. The chicken was crispy and to perfection as well. Even though the chicken and the seasoning of the chicken was good, as a Louisiana woman I wish the cook was a little more heavy handed with the chicken seasoning, but that could be a matter of preference. The strawberry cake and the tropical koolaid were sweet treats. I like how the koolaid was the right amount of sweet and not watery or diabetic coma like. I also had the red beans. The flavor in the seasoning was a nice take on what I’m use red beans tasting like. Because I was so full, I saved some of the red beans for the next day, and they were even better than the first day.The greens and the cabbage didn’t have much flavor which is why the review is a 4 and not a 5. Overall when I visit Compton again, Alma’s is definitely a first stop!

I got the catfish w yams/Mac & cheese. A side of potato salad, A slice of sp pie & strawberry cake. The mac & cheese was the most disappointing thing I’ve ever tasted in my life…. It taste just as bland as it looks in the picture… where is the pepper?? Never thought I’d get non seasoned food in Compton 😖. Yams was the best tasting thing but not amazing. 2 desserts were not good in my opinion. Strawberry cake had really thick dense frosting & SP pie slice was just ok. Let’s not talk about the potato salad…. This is my 2nd time visiting so I know I for sure will not be back which is too bad I love supporting black businesses but it’s too expensive for the product they are pushing out.

Thank you Brandon for bringing me the bomb.com pies! Omg I love sweet potato pie and cheese cake and this is both in one slice! Rich delicious but not too sweet and they aren’t stingy with the pecans! Love this place! And I love it’s in Compton I’m In carson so this being local it’s super perfect!

I tried the strawberry and fruit punch and the strawberry cake! There was a table setup out by all the food trucks and it had all kinds of sweets and drinks! The person who helped me was so sweet he was so helpful Thankyou! 😊

First time and definitely not the last. I couldn't even make it out of the parking lot. I said let me try a taste of everything and end up eating 90% of all my food. Chicken 10 Yams 10 Greens 10 Mac 10 Cornbread 10 Rice and beans 10 Carmel cake 10 Peach cobbler 10

This little place tucked away in a small strip mall delivers big time. I had the catfish, mac/cheese, redbeans / rice and peach cobbler.. The portions were sufficient and everything was flavorful. Staff was very nice and helpful and I met Alma. I'll return for more!

The best catfish I’ve ever had and one of the best Mac n cheese and potato salads I’ve ever had!! Brandon is a gracious host and Alma is so awesome. I need to try other food items, parking is right out front! Yummy food.

Customer service was great. I ordered the fried catfish entree. It came with 4/5 pieces of catfish (large pieces) and 3 sides. I got Mac and cheese (very dry not enough seasoning), greens (bland no seasoning at all and it tasted kind of dirty), steamed rice which is regular rice without seasoning (should have gotten gravy) and corn bread( I don’t eat corn bread so I’m not sure how that tasted). My friend got smothered turkey chops (fire), Mac and cheese (she said it was ok), candied yams (too sweet) and cabbage ( I don’t think she ate the cabbage) and cornbread. She got a fruit punch kool aid or juice whatever it was and I got raspberry lemonade (both were very sweet and syrupy). I only have a picture of mine!
