First let me say this: the food is pricey, but you do get a lot of food. I had the fish and shrimp and they both were okay. I'd probably say they both needed a little more seasoning. The greens were okay, but needed more seasoning. The sweet potatoes were the same; they needed more seasoning. Now the dirty rice should be completely removed from the menu. I had to throw the whole container away. It had a lot of liquid in it and didn't taste like dirty rice at all. read more

Sometimes you avoid reading all the negative reviews and take a chance and like a hot blackjack table 21 winner! The oxtails were a 10 out of 10 , the tenders were awesome. Can't go wrong with this place and the food. It is truly authentic great ambience not much crowds at the time I went I highly recommend it the dude rocks. Definitely coming back bro. read more

His attitude is worse than the food. Makes junior high comments about customers because he can't take constructive criticism. He uses his ugly comments to make himself feel like a man. Food is not worth the price. Read his reviews before going. read more

It was nice! The food was excellent, the waiter was not very friendly and seems to rush us during our meal. I will return and perhaps seat at the bar. Love the atmosphere! read more

The service was great and the food was tasty. I order one thing and ask the owner if I could another in place of it. It was seamless and the replacement dish was hot and good. The small space was cozy, yet roomy enough to enjoy a conversatio with friends. I was delighted to see video games stations of Ole! Packman and others. If you are in Pflugerville, I would suggest you give the family owned business a try for some good southern cooking. read more

I couldn't wait till I got home to give a review on this restaurant that charged me $129 for two pork chop dinners the dinners and when I called he bit my head and started sending me hateful text messages that I attached to this review. It was frightening receiving them and I called one of the three people that were there with me and they couldn't believe his harassment of me,a customer that just wanted to support a black business. So disappointing read more

We had checked prices online so we KNEW they were high, but I was trying to "give the brother some". Big Mistake! When dinner for 2 ends up at $85 you have to represent. The combinations are strange - cornbread is not a side. But when you go so far as to give my wife a bowl of juice with a few greens floating in it - well these reviews are not wrong! We did not get the feeling we were valued as customers and will not be back. The sock-it-to-me cake was outstanding!!! (Someone else must make it and sell it to him wholesale). read more

Food was nasty then a mug, and overpriced $$$. Saw a roach as we were eating but based on the owners energy, we knew nothing would be resolved. There's so many better places. Never coming back. read more

Food is decent but the prices are laughable.. $28 for 4 wings? $35 for 3 pieces of catfish? $15 for dessert? $65 for oxtails? Cheap ingredients, decent preparation but prices like you're at a upscale steakhouse. Embarrassing read more

The service was fast and the restaurant was clean. I may be a little spoiled when it comes to good southern cooking due to my dad being a chef. Overall the food was too salty for my taste. To pay $55 for ox tails was a bit much. The service was fast and the restaurant was clean. The owner wasn't rude, but he wasn't hospitable either. Overall the food was too salty for my taste and the southern flavor was non existent. We ordered the oxtail plate and the pork chops. We had a $6.50 Calipso to drink. There are not any prices posted anywhere! The banana pudding tasted like jello brand banana pudding. Maybe this is a Texas thing, but why y'all don't have bananas in y'all banana pudding? The peach cobbler was good and not too sweet. Our total was $130 which didn't match the amount or quality of food we received. This one visit was enough for me. read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE and OVERPRICED ! We drove over an hour just to try the oxtails, and to say we were disappointed is an understatement! Nothing about our meals tasted fresh, our meals was not even warm! The oxtails and gravy were clearly leftovers from a previous day. (Look at my pictures) The rice was soggy, the gravy tasted old, and the sides (yams, greens, cabbage) had the texture and flavor of canned food. This was a complete letdown and not at all worth the time or money!!! Just HORRIBLE!!! Also, The business owner will respond to all his customers honest, bad reviews with being rude, dishonest, disrespectful and lies. Instead of being professional, respectful and to make the significant changes that need to be made so that his business does have an opportunity to thrive. Very bad business, customer service and food. Very disappointing! This is what the owner said about me, btw I have never done meth in my life! Nor was I loud or obnoxious, ate a few bites of my food, it was horrible! All because I left an honest review that he did not like. Anyone to respond in such a manner is the sick and sad one, and has no business conducting business. Very unprofessional business owner!! From the owner of Burnett's "Sick in the head Racist rude with an attitude. 100% Clown activities from a clown from a Meth user. Lady came in smelling like old onions. She looked as if she was high on drugs. Order her food all while be loud obnoxious. Dined in. Ate all her food DOWN TO THE BONE, then had the nerve to ask if we knew where she could find some meth. We had to then ask her to leave. We don't any people looking for narcotics asking my staff do they know were you can meth. Sick & Sad." His response was very unprofessional and disrespectful! Any honest negative review that he receives from his customers that he served he responds very disrespectful and unprofessional to his customers. If you do not stop harassing me because I left an honest review with pictures I will file charges on you for defamation of character! You are only mad because I am speaking the truth regarding my experience at your business along with many others that you have responded with the same response to their reviews for you as well, SO ALL your customers that left honest reviews are clowns, smell like onions and bad bo, loud and obnoxious. You have a serious problem and have absolutely NO business TRYING to own a business!!! YOU ARE A HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING with absolutely NO business or cooking skills!!!! EVERYONE that reads your responses knows you are HORRIBLE!!!!!! read more

I always like trying out new places especially when they are small hole in the wall kind of restaurants, and when you consider that having southern food as a lure, I am 100% down to try. Now that being said, unfortunately, this place was not for me. The pictures of the food on their adverts did not match the quality nor how the actual food even looked (and I think a lot of the pictures are not even food from the restaurant). The prices are way too high for what you get (comparing to other restaurants in general). Which, TBH was too bad, because price doesn't mean anything to me if the service is good and food is good (you rarely see me comment on price in other reviews unless it really is inappropriate). Overall, I didn't finish my meal as it wasn't as good as I had hoped. I would probably go somewhere else, if I am being honest. Furthermore, the very unprofessional personal attacks from the business owner, is just bad metrics and bad business. Find it very amusing that the owner continues to personally attack people. Especially considering almost all the positive reviews are by people that have not reviewed any other place in or around the Austin/Pflugerville area or have zero reviews all together. Pretty sus. read more

I found this place by accident. I was doing some work in the area. I had a nice conversation with the owner. I bought some food. The wings were whole wings (3 Pc). I received the fries along with the wings. The service was great. The place is small so consider that when going. The food is cooked to order for the most part. They cater to people with food sensitivities. The food is pricey so don't be fooled. read more

The owner also has several fake accounts that make positive reviews, comments on the reviews, and as well as making ridiculous replies to critical reviews such as my own. Clearly the entire entity lacks in great customer service and has a hard time accepting criticism. Take what others are saying and make your business better or watch it fail. Either way, the food is too high for less than mediocre food and bad service. My review still stands. And the grammar, syntax, vocabulary, sentence structure, etc. is below subpar. Do better I don't have 4 kids, this sounds personal coming from a "owner". Very unprofessional read more

Food overpriced, undercooked, unseasoned Owner very rude and unprofessional. Do NOT Recommend read more

Good ppl, Id spend my money..... variety on the menu and flavorful options. Will be going again!!

Prices weren't even listed on menu or anything. We ordered two platters and Mac and cheese. It wasn't the worst but it was MASSIVELY overpriced and under seasoned and not CRISPY at all. The shrimp were frozen and small. I wasn't going to make this review till I seen how the owner was treating paying customers. They truly will fail within the year with this attitude. Customer service, and price points and food quality. Everything needs to improve. Or they'll be dealing with copious amounts of debt soon. Please learn how to treat your customers and appreciate their business and take feed back. It appears they are pretending to be a white person as the owner and responding in an insane manner to anyone who leaves REAL criticism of their food and establishment. Also buddy I said yall use FROZEN SHRIMP. Because you can tell. I used to be a chef and butcher. The plates I was given shouldn't be anymore than $30 for both read more

First off let me say I'm not easily impressed. Secondly, I hate to be the one to do this (especially to a new business) BUT.... the two stars is SOLELY for the service I got. Aarroun, who I believe was the owner was super polite and well mannered which is not something you come across a lot but also cocky. When we entered the restaurant had a couple others waiting for their orders, we sat and looked at the menu which is on Google Drive, while doing that the aromas and his conversation with one of the other customers hyping the food were reassuring to us skeptics but sadly misleading. Ordered the 3 wings & tenders and 3 catfish and fries which totaled $47.50 needless to they are severely overpriced, pics coming to show why. For the price I expected whole wings instead we got wingettes, canned yams and mediocre Mac & cheese. The fish also small pieces, overcooked and lacked flavor accompanied by unseasoned fries. The upside is that it was at least the fish did not have a fishy taste and the food was fresh. Personally for me this one visit was enough for me to decide I wouldn't return. read more

Found this restaurant almost by accident because it was in the neighborhood. Ordered the pork chop dinner with collard greens and cabbage on the side and peach cobbler for dessert. Everything was delicious but the pork chops and cobbler were clearly the BEST I've ever had of each one. Prices are slightly high but the ingredients are high quality so it wasn't a show stopper for me. Restaurant us bright and clean and the whole experience was positive. read more

Overpriced..... food was deceiving .......long wait time cornbread looked and felt undercooked

Amazing place! Great food, great drinks (could be a few more options) great music, great environment!

So, so disappointing! $20 for the smallest serving of the saltiest, smallest of gumbo! All their food was too salty. Their mac and cheese, dirty rice was gross. The chicken tenders tasted burnt. Do not waste your money! read more

Not sure what food everyone else seems to have gotten, but mine was pretty tasty. Yeah it's a bit overpriced, but not as much as I initially thought before eating, it was way more food than it looked like. Looking forward to my leftovers. Buttery cheesy mac, solid spice rub on the catfish, good fry on the tenders. Cornbread was pretty dry, could've benefited from some of that butter. read more

Burnett’s - #16 - 3 catfish, 3 tender combo, sub cornbread for dirty rice - Soul Food Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

Was excited to try this place and was ultimately disappointed. Going one time was enough for me. We got wings, fries, and mac & cheese. It was decent, but the flavor was lacking and overall not worth the prices they're charging. I don't think the positive reviews are genuine customers and likely those just supporting family/friends. There's no way that someone thinks this place is a good value. I'm a consumer, not a supporter. As a consumer, I do not recommend this place to anyone who's looking for good wings or food that's worth the money. You're better off making them yourself or just going to another well established place with good reviews. If you're a supporter? Go wild and spend your money here. TLDR: This food was subpar and the value sucks. read more

Food is worse than the hospital cafeteria. The service is horrible, no one seems to know the price of things, they charge 25 a plate lol. The ambiance is that of a cafeteria when you walk in, the place is dead. No customers, no curb appeal. The owner counts on fake reviews to swindle new customers. Read the real reviews and save your money. read more

Man I don't know what everybody else is talking about but this spot is amazing, the food was super cheap and the customer service from the Owner was top tier he even threw me some extra shrimp. Now the koolaid drink they had wasn't all to good but other than that everything was on point. Since my first visit I've been back 3 times and also introduced this place to a few of my friends who also ate everything and said the food was great. read more

1.2.3 say it with me TRRRAAAASSSSHHHH!!!!!! The worst food I've ever eaten in Austin. Adjectives cannot describe the level of how mid and BS this food was. Collard greens taste like I was licking on salt block. Mac and cheese was below mid and dry, dirty rice was completely cold in the inside, wings was tasteless and the $50 Oxtails was a complete disgrace. I asked them why it didn't come with a gravy and the cook replied they didn't have time to make it. Brought some of the juice out to pour over the bland rice and oxtails and it was even worst. The most disgusting and bland food I've ever eaten. read more

Customer service was cool this also coming from a black man not in the business of banishing people but this shi not cool shrimp small ass he'll wings was cool fries need seasoning overall 4/10 price make it a easily 2/10 over price for mid food I won't be coming back read more

Ok OK, the pettiness is real on businesses pages. How sad was this to read. My staff and I were told about this little out of the way soul food spot from the staff at the Plantation house so we came to try it. You'd never know this was what people thought of this place! I'm shocked. They were so nice, the staff gave us recommendations of things to do in the area. Conversation was polite. Now the food.. the food was nice. I personally came for the catfish and it didn't disappoint. The fries I had to ask to be hardfried because they're a little lite for me. Flavor on point, place was clean and the corn bread... makes a granny proud out there somewhere. This place has such potential.. the layout needs work, but the foods all ready there! TRY IT OUT..
