Harold and Belle's, Los Angeles
It seems that this is a favorite hangout spot for Kendrick's producer Terrace Martin who enjoys the gumbo. It makes sense that Lamar and Martin have probably made a number of business deals and had many meetings at this place. Even fellow artist and close friend of Lamar's Kamasi Washington recently revealed that he thinks that this is one of the best places to visit in L.A. because of its diverse menu and the fact that it offers something for everyone who decides to eat there.

The Real Trap Kitchen - Compton and Portland
Trap Kitchen is a small kitchen style place that caters to big events out of Roberto Arturo Smith's apartment in Los Angeles. Kendrick Lamar is a fan of the food that is created here since he decided to hire the company to cater his wedding party and a number of other stars including Snoop Dogg, The Game, Tyrese, Reverend Run, D'Angelo and Lil' Derk have also opted to use this restaurant as their main catering choice.

Tams Burger
Lamar wrote, "Everybody loves In-N-Out, but it's a very clean-cut burger. Tam's is street-sloppy, burgers and shakes. It's a chain, but it's still hood."
Church's Chicken
In his hit song "Backstreet Freestyle," the lyrics “Park it in front of Lueders, next to that Church’s Chicken” have become quite well-known and indicate that the rapper enjoyed visiting it while growing up. Like many chicken places in the area, Church's Chicken offers the best kind of fried chicken but it's probably the fact that this is so close to his home and reminds him of his hometown that Lamar decided to include it, rather than his love of the chicken.
