First of all, I wanna say that I do normally visit these type of places, but my sister-in-law who stays in Houston recommended me to go here and when I looked at the food online, I said I gotta try it. I was surprised at where it was on the side of town it was, but I wasn’t worried as you shouldn’t be either because this place has some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life I opted to get some chicken wings half garlic Parmesan half lemon pepper and they were the best lemon pepper I’ve ever had. I got collard greens and étouffée as my sides with and I repeat with a cup of red Kool-Aid. Yep, I said red they also had a bar which I got a double shot of tequila and I got a bottle of water. I ate everything it was that good I didn’t need any seasoning. I didn’t need any hot sauce. I didn’t need anything. They had a nice vibe going with the music. It’s very easy to order. They have a touchscreen menu that you can order from but the person that was working, there was very helpful in assisting me with explaining everything on the menu. Don’t take my word for it, though you’re gonna have to visit yourself, but you won’t be disappointed and they have a multitude of various options of food for you to get most people were getting their food to go. I’m assuming that they’re local people but even if you are visiting, I will still say go. It’s worth it 10 times.
I had fried chicken and wifey had fried catfish. Portions were good but I think that my chicken could have used a bit more seasoning. The fried catfish was fried to perfection and tasted good. All sides were on point. Mac n' cheese delicious, roasted brussel sprouts perfect, greens were okay, cornbread was sweeet like a twinkie and the fried okra was good and crunchy! The inside was small and intimate but okay, but definitely needs some attention. There was a small spider in the area we were sitting in. It did leave after about 5 minutes of us sitting there. The inside is culturally commonplace as the walls have nostalgic album covers on the walls and they play r&b music through their surround sound. Restrooms were surprisingly cleaner than I expected. Having a clean and well kept restroom, well that's always a good sign of a good restaurant! I would definitely go back to try other dishes!
Food came smoking hot. ! I ordered a fried catfish plate that comes with 2 sides. The Catfish is fried hard but they are HUGE! The macaroni was tasty but a little to dry for my liking but don't let that stop you. The cornbread is good, but may be too sweet for others. The red beans and rice was my favorite part of the meal although it was slightly crunchy. The plate was roughly $25 AFTER taxes. They do not include a drink, those are sold separately. The staff don't seem terrible, but they also didn't greet or welcome anyone. Sort of stand off-ish. You have to ring up your own order on the self serve kiosk. So the only "service" you get is when they bring your food out of the kitchen or if you order drinks. The Atmosphere is chill and relax, but it's a very compact location. Great music, 6 tables and a bar. They keep the inside Clean, although I did NOT go inside of the restroom while I was there. It's very stylish as well. The parking lot is also tight, roughly 10-12 spaces to park, if that. They do have handicap spots and a ramp. Restroom for customers only. They use individually wrapped plasticware not silverware. I will definitely be going back because none of these things gave me bad vibes. There are no bugs and that's amazing for me lol.
The catfish was deliciously crunchy, as well as the fried orka. The pasta was like something I'd make at home. Good... but not gourmet. I didn't quite care for the Mac and cheese, but that's just me. No refillable fountain drinks, but I get it. Enjoyed most of the music, but a tad bit too R. Kelly heavy. I hate that they only had high chairs, which is hard on my circulation. Bottom line... I will return.
I went on a day it wasn’t packed. I ordered the catfish with two sides it came out to $22.95. For additional sides they range from $7-13 depending on size. Their drinks range from $6-13.00 depending on the size, mixed drinks are offered as well. I ordered the catfish with a side of Mac and cheese and okra. The Mac and cheese was creamy, the okra was perfectly cooked. The catfish batter was seasoned perfectly. The atmosphere was nice, it is a small area there’s roughly 6 tables and a bar where seating is provided as well. They do have a happy hour from 3-7pm on appetizers.
