I've lost count of how many times I've been here, so this review is long overdue…read more Yes, it's inside a gas station (Pitstop Express), but don't let that fool you. Some of the best food spots hide behind gas pumps, and this is one of those spots. The chicken stays consistent every single time. Finding good fried chicken in Houston is strangely harder than it should be, so I usually end up frying my own. But here? The chicken is seasoned, fried fresh to order, and just... good. Like, no gimmicks, just good chicken. Ordering is simple: place it at the counter, pay at the register, hand your ticket back, and then wait about 15 minutes for your food. And they've got fried okra, which always hits. The cooks keep the vibes up. It's all takeout; no seating so while you wait, browse the snack shelves. You'll probably spot something you haven't seen since childhood (depending on how far back your childhood goes). They also serve breakfast but Ive only had the chicken. This is definitely a go too when simple wing craving kicks in and I don't wanna cook.

The wait was incredibly long even though they weren't busy, but the workers were kind and gave us beverages while we waited. Overall the establishment was clean and the food was good.

The waffles and chicken was so good...the kale salad also made me feel healthy after a morning workout. I was able to split the spice level on the tenders and the heat was manageable on the Hot Chicken. The cinnamon butter on the waffles brought the house down with comfort. The service was also very nice. The ordering process was easy and the staff was able to explain the menu when we had questions. I did receive a small percentage off my order for military discount, I forget what it was exactly, but the friendliness and ambiance made it extra worth choose Cookshack for lunch!

The salad was fresh and classic -- iceberg lettuce, cheese, onion and tomato -- so good. The prime rib was excellent and the whole meal was a reasonable price.

We got the Com Ga and some Coconut Jelly Che to try and they were delicious :) The Com Ga came with some soup and a ginger fish sauce dipping sauce. The chicken was soooo juicy and tender, the rice was probably cooked in chicken broth, and the dipping sauce was addicting. The soup was okay, it was very very sweet though (probably MSG). The coconut jelly dessert was great, it was refreshing and I'd probably try the one with avocado next time. My family tried their other food before, but they said the Com Ga is still the best one. All the soups/noodles dishes are really bland and lacking for them. Service was great. There were 2 young guys working at 8am on a Sunday morning, big ups to them! The food did take a while though I'm not sure why, it wasn't even packed. Definitely give the Com Ga a try!

We visited on a Saturday around 8:30 pm and were seated right away. The place was lively but still had some open tables. Service was quick and genuinely great throughout the meal. We ordered enchiladas and the chicken, which is their specialty. The chicken was incredibly fragrant and juicy. While it didn't quite live up to how I remembered it from years ago, it was still very good. It might have been because we came a bit closer to closing time, but overall it was still satisfying. The sides, Spanish rice and refried beans were delicious. And the chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful. Overall, still a great spot that's worth coming back to.

The food was okay, the refried beans were good, the guacamole is good, the charro beans did need some salt, the rice was okay. The chicken is another story. The chicken did not look like the pictures on here and it definitely was not grilled. It looked like unseasoned raw chicken. We had to put it in the air fryer to get some color on it. We were on the hunt for a new chicken place, but I just might forgive our usual spot after this. I'm done trying to replace it lol.

My ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE pizza buffet!…read more Everything is so clean and freshly made to order! The pizza buffet is $11.99, and it includes a variety of specialty pizzas, breadsticks, garlic bread, stromboli, salad bar, drinks, and two types of desserts that never disappoint! The service is outstanding--Epin knows me by name, and I know him by his. Every time I come in, he asks how I'm doing, tells me he's glad to see me, and even asks what I'd love to see on the buffet. Epin is top-notch! He's not the owner, just an employee who goes above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable. I've even eaten here five days straight--yes, the food is that good! Mouthwatering from the first bite to the last. It's made-to-order, tasty, perfectly heated, and the service is second to none. I told my friend about this pizza buffet--she drove all the way up from down South just to try it. After one plate, she was in love. Now, she's already planning her next visit. The owner, on the other hand; is polite and all smiles, though you will rarely see him arise from the kitchen and come out, speak, and clean the tables. It's mostly Epin doing so! This place surprised me in the best way--it's where I discovered my absolute favorite pizza: the Buffalo chicken. Just the right kick, cheese and that tangy Buffalo sauce that hits perfectly. And don't even get me started on dessert... that apple cinnamon pizza? Pure magic. Warm, sweet, and downright memorable. If you know, you know. Wink wink. I also brought my parents here--Simple Simon offers discounts for seniors, first responders, and teachers! I wish they had a punch card or some loyalty discount for frequent customers... Ahh one day, I hope! The buffet is available Sunday through Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM, and Tuesday nights from 5 PM to 8 PM. Unfortunately, there's no buffet on Saturdays. I love coming by after work to chow down on the buffet. If it's not on the buffet and you want it, Epin will let you know it'll only take 8 minutes to prepare! They also have a regular menu with small, medium, large, and beast pizzas. The beast is absolutely massive--perfect for parties! They also offer keto options, wings, sandwiches, calzones, stuffed crust, and more. Even though there's a Refreshesca place nearby, I think Simple Simon would totally benefit from adding an ice cream machine near the drinks (I hope, it's in the works)! The atmosphere is so welcoming, friendly, laid-back, and inviting--you can't go wrong at Simple Simon Riverstone Ranch! It's tucked in the corner of Chevron next to a beauty salon. Oh, and like no other, they have a drive-thru window for those times when you want to grab your order without going inside! It's definitely my go-to for both dine-in and takeout. Come hungry, leave full and happy. Grab a plate--your next meal's waiting right here. Smells good, tastes even better. Cravings end here at Simple Simon's!

I waited for several minutes until I had to ask if they were ready for me. Someone else answered and said "No. And if you want to order, you have to wait at least 30 mins. because we don't have chicken right now."

From the mozzarella sticks to the Mac to the onion rings. The meat was great, too. My wife had a burger and honesty just such a solid burger, good char on the meat, great flavor and the bun was toasted and the right mix of a little crunch on the perimeter and softness.
