The fried chicken is a must! I’ve also had the cheeseburger, the ribs and shrimp appetizer. All great southern comfort food from this neighborhood gem.

Great lunch with a friend that has eaten here for over 40 years. This was my first time to eat there and will definitely have more visits in the future. Such an incredible dining experience from a simplier time....Great staff! Wonderful and pleasant waitress that waited on us. Very relaxing and quite environment. Highly recommend!

This review is for Monika, our server, who was the best server we had in our three weeks in the USA. Just the right level of friendliness and checking in, without being too pushy. Would give her ten stars if possible.
The food was good too, especially the cheesecake.

This is a great little restaurant with big portions of food. It is more of a local cafe than a BBQ joint. They have all types of great food choices from BBQ to chicken fried steak to salads. I had the ribs and they were great. The service was perfect. We will go back again

I got the 3 meat plate. Brisket, pork, and ribs with 2 sides. Place is strait out of the 70"s-80's. What I remember cafes looked liked as a kid. There's a faint smell of cigarette smoke and damp carpet. Wood paneling on walls old pictures of Houston/Astrodome hanging. Look like they have loyal customers coming in and out. Waitresses and mostly all of the customers were 55 years or above. Having said that, the food was great, and I would definitely go back.

We have been back two more times now, the same waitress waits on us and she's sweet as can be 🤗 and the chicken fried steak is amazing!! You can cut it with a plastic fork it's so tender, but still crispy outside of course. I literally cut it with a plastic fork seriously. But of an older crowd usually but definitely more quiet than any other place you go to at lunchtime that's for sure 😊

Good old southern cookin' kind of place. Fried chicken from scratch, chicken fried steak, roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, boiled green beans, etc. I had the fried shrimp with green beans and cold slaw. It was great. Our waitress was super nice and very attentive. Bathroom was clean and overall the restaurant was nice and clean. The restaurant has been there for a very very long time. But it was in great condition so it just had the old timer feel to it without being run down and dirty at all.

This restaurant has been around since the 1940s. We were told that their fried chicken was out of this world and we were not disappointed. I had the dark meat, chicken salad and mashed potatoes. Prices were very fair the way staff was friendly and helpful. Even the owner popped over and said hello.

Literally the BEST FRIED SHRIMP I think I have ever had. Their baked potatoes are baked right meaning the skin is nice and clean and soft and delicious to eat too. I hate dried out potato skin. The service was EXCELLENT. They treat you like family. Looking forward to going back. Thank you.

If you are looking for food that reminds you of old fashioned home cooking, this is the place. The absolute best ranch dressing, homemade cocktail sauce and service.
