    Yes, Yes, Yes! Their chicken is so dang good. Their fish is so dang good. I will admit, of all reviews, the least of them would be "soul food". I'm so happy a friend told me about this establishment, actually, a fellow Yelper. Their chicken is so fresh, and the crunch you get with every bite, every seasoned bite....Heaven! Their fried fish is the same. They use real catfish, whereas some places claim you're getting catfish, but you're actually getting Swai at the same price. I like the fact that they have an à la carte menu. I can get a piece of chicken with a side, without overdoing it with the fried foods. If you haven't given them a try, please do!! Note: Make sure you check out their schedule before going, they're not open every day.

    This place is absolutely delicious! I love their fried chicken, their sides and the owners are truly the most amazing people on earth !!! I love their greens (insert drool face ) so good! I love the seasoning on the chicken and it's not overly coated with flour it's just perfect. I can't wait to go back for lunch again. My friend ordered Mac and cheese and I tried some it's soooo good! I'll have to get me that next time.

    1 catfish fillet & 2pc Chicken with Mac and cheese, greens cornbread and hush puppies

    Walked in and was welcomed. He was as very friendly and explained everything to me. I ordered the 1 catfish and 2 pieces chicken with sides I add hush puppies. The fish was fried to perfection and man the chicken was seasoned so well had a nice crispy skin. The Mac and cheese were so creamy. The hush puppies were delicious. The greens were perfect. I definitely want to try the sweet potato next time. I will try more when I go back. Yes I will go back it was like someone grandma was back there cooking. Come to find out the guy who took my order was the owner. He explained to me that he had opened up the restaurant and his grandma taught him how to cook.

    Fried catfish, fried chicken, fried okra and sweet potatoes... Mmmmm sooo good!

    The food was amazing, the service was great, it takes about 20 minutes after you place your order because everything is made to order. The fried chicken was fantastic with a delicious flavor and great crunch. The fried catfish was fresh and an awesome seasoning added to the batter made it all the better, the oakra, and sweet potatoes were equally as good. The restaurant has a very generic atmosphere which lets you know all the attention is on the food and not trying to bring customers in based off looks, its all about the food quality. Definitely recommend trying this place.

    Although they do not have a consistent cashier, I was greeted by a wonderful man with a huge smile & Happy to answer my questions! Being from Chicago, I have high expectations for fried chicken & When I say this is some of the BEST I've ever had!!!!!!!!! & when I was looking at the screen they have that shows pictures of the food, I saw a saucy wing. I asked about it & was told it was their house sauce that is sweet & spicy, I asked for it to be added & I'm glad I did!! It reminds me of a "mild sauce" but honestly, it's the best one I've had! The macaroni & cheese + yams also hit the spot! The Mac is very rich, creamy & flavorful. The yams I was honestly skeptical about because I didn't see any cinnamon or brown sugar (my favorite toppings), I was worried about the flavor. But I promise, I was NOT disappointed!! Listen, whenever you're in the area, go ahead & bless yourself with this food from the soul. I'm already planning my next visit

    The food is very fresh the chicken was seasoned well, the catfish was good. The sides are very good.

    Fantastic. Kind and courteous with a quality meal. Proteins are fried to perfection, great flavor, sides are gold. I can see where someone might want some more meat on the chicken but it's pretty hard to complain. Even caught a movie I'd been wanting to see while I ate my meal. 20 minutes on the dot from order, as promised. Call ahead if taking out.

    First review of 2024! My lady and I decided to try a new restaurant once a month this year. Arlanderz was first in the list as we desired some fried chicken with fixins. The food was so-so, nothing about this meal left me with that wow factor. They definitely have potential with a few minor adjustments, but for the most part, it was something new. Roni's pick Pros Reasonable prices Healthy portion sizes Prepared to order (fresh &hot) Decent wait time Solid customer service Collards flavorful & tender Chicken crispy Cons Macaroni is under seasoned Chicken is under seasoned

    Fish and chicken with 2 sides for less than $20 is unheard of!!!

    I don't know where this place has been the entire 5 years I've lived in TX BUT I'm glad I stumbled upon it today!!! All my husband and I could do was chew and shake our heads!!! This food hit the spot! It was hot, fresh, and seasoned. I don't think you can beat the price anywhere. The portion size was great too!!! The man was kind and very patient! There aren't many seats on the inside. 100 out of 10!!!!

    My wife and I visited a barbecue restaurant we hadn't tried yet, "Rosako's Soulfood and BBQ." (2816…read moreBrown Trail, Bedford, TX 76021) As soon as I got out of my car, I knew I'd found something interesting. The restaurant had a sign stating, "Electric vehicle charging available here." Just to the right of the sign were two Level 2 chargers. We each ordered two 2 meat plates, which included two sides. When we got home and opened the to-go boxes, we realized we had WAY over-ordered. We had enough for two meals for each of us! We had chicken and pork ribs, mac & cheese and flat green beans. It was very tasty with a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. I spoke with the owner and thanked him for supporting EVs, to which he replied, "How could I not? It's what's coming. How could I not get on board?" He mentioned that quite a few of his customers found him on Plugshare.com and stop by regularly for a meal and charge. I had to Google "So mote it be."

    We decided to order from this restaurant through the Too Good To Go app…read more I rarely write harsh reviews, but this experience deserves every bit of criticism. What happened today was unacceptable from the moment we walked in. The place was visibly dirty and completely unappetizing. The back area was mostly hidden behind what looked like a shower curtain, which did nothing to inspire confidence. There appeared to be only one man working, and he came out only a few times during the entire 45 minutes we waited. Even more concerning, there was a child who looked to be about eight or nine years old wearing latex gloves and repeatedly coming out to the front, apparently helping with restaurant tasks that no child should be doing. Despite having prepaid through Too Good To Go, no one acknowledged us for nearly 10 minutes. We stood in a hot dining room with almost no air conditioning while the child wandered in and out and the adult remained behind the curtain. More people arrived behind us, also with prepaid orders, until there were about 10 people waiting. We watched three other customers receive their food before us. One was a DoorDash driver, which made sense, and one woman had arrived before us. However, another woman with a very small order was served ahead of us even though she arrived after we did. When the man finally came out, we showed him our Too Good To Go order. He swiped the app, marking our order as picked up, then disappeared behind the curtain again and never returned with our food. After waiting 45 minutes in a sweltering dining room on a nearly 100-degree Texas day, we gave up. We left without the food we had already paid for. At that point, losing the cost of the meal was preferable to staying in that environment any longer. This was one of the worst pickup experiences I have ever had. Between the unsanitary conditions, the lack of staff, the presence of a child apparently performing restaurant tasks, the complete absence of customer service, and the fact that we never even received the order we had already paid for, I can say with complete confidence: We will never return.

We had the pleasure of meeting Nana herself. Me and my mom enjoyed speaking with her. She was pleasant and friendly. I loved how she was very down to earth. My mom took a photo with her. My server was the sweetest and most polite person. She checked on me and my mom multiple times. She was friendly and helpful. So I must say my service was welcoming and AMAZING! I felt like part of the family! Now it's not a fancy place, but it was clean and cozy. Like a mom and pops place. Condiments are provided on the table. Even roses that were real are in a vase. You can dine in or they have a carry out side. Well I chose fish since that's what I wanted. The 2 piece filet meal comes with 2 sides. They will bring your food out in a plastic container. So if you have left overs it's already set to go. The food came out hot and fresh. The fish was fried nicely. I wish it was seasoned a bit more for my liking. It was pretty good though. It was a great size and again fried to perfection. The hush puppies were really tasty. The fried corn fritter was delicious. The pickled tartar sauce was unique and I loved it. OMG the cabbage was so DAMN GOOD! This stole the show. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned with love. It touched my soul and I wanted to lick my container. The Mac and Cheese was a NO for me. It was like black pepper and cheese sauce. It was just blah and II didn't even eat it. However, others may like it, but it wasn't that great. Sorry Nana! Overall I had a good visit! I will definitely come back and EAT when in the area. The cabbage won me over. I left feeling happy and full. The southern hospitality was FANTASTIC!

I got the two-piece catfish with sweet potatoes and mac & cheese--fish fried to crunchy perfection on the outside, juicy and full of flavor inside. My son loved his honey BBQ wing special with fries; the sauce had just the right sweet kick. The place sparkled with cleanliness--even the restroom smelled fresh like citrus. Bussers kept tables wiped down constantly, and the staff was super friendly, checking in to make sure we had everything. Met the owner too; she's genuinely warm and customer-focused, which made the vibe even better. If it weren't an hour from Dallas, I'd be weekly. Fort Worth soul food done right--thanks for the love! Tip: Go hungry; portions are generous.

    Google reviews did me a solid. I'll start this review that for the most part I'm boycotting YELP…read moresince they removed my 2025 Elite status for the first time in 14 yrs. Craving fried chicken and decided to head to Juicys Soul Food and learned they had closed....uggggh. Not to be deterred discovers Linda's Soul Food to go and called to inquire if they had fried chicken. They did. Yahoooo. Off we went. Upon arrival and as we entered this little gem I just admit I was worried. It was dead and appeared only one person was working. We learned they only had 4 meat offerings, fried chicken, fried pork chops, meatloaf and fried catfish. We were a bit disappointed when we learned they only had wings and legs for the fried chicken but moved on and placed an order. I had the fried chicken legs, collard greens, fried cabbage and Mac n cheese. She opted for the fried pork chops and Mac n cheese. The serving size are huge. 3 legs, 3 pork chops. Sides are plentiful. Are you ready? Absolutely delicious. The fried pork chops were the best we have ever had out. The Fried chicken was equally as good. HOT. JUICY. Soooo good. The Mac n cheese was better than Juicys. Cheesy and gooey goodness. I loved it. The collards were also better than Juicys....id argued one of the best I've ever had out. My mom would have been in heaven. Speaking of heaven...the Fried Cabbage is to die for... A major home run!

There was a…read morecouple that walked in just ahead of me and based on their questions, it was clearly their 1st visit, as well. The dry erase board had the following listed; meatloaf, fried chicken, fried fish, fried pork chops. She did say they offer other things on the weekend. That statement confused me because it was Saturday around noon and the couple had to wait for someone to come unlock the door which implied that they were just opening. The couple inquired about options other than fried and was told that meatloaf was it. One asked if there was pork in the sides. Her response was "no pork at all" and the lady said, " Except the fried pork chops, right?" Well, as you see from the photo, there's pork in the greens. I ordered fried pork chops with mac & cheese, yams, and collard greens which came with cornbread. The only other side listed was cabbage. Lemon pound cake was the dessert offered. I was told my order should be ready in about 20 minutes. I left and went to Starbucks up the street and came back about 30 minutes later and he was putting my order into the bag. I want to preempt by saying give this place a try and see what you think. You may have a different experience. There is construction being done on the street in front of the establishment, FYI. I personally did not enjoy the taste of the food. The yams were okay, but again, the taste just wasn't there for me. The cashier did say that they've only been open a year so maybe it's a work in progress.
