We walked downstairs and were surprised with the food hall. Downstairs looked like your typical food hall with about 4 other food options. The smell of the burgers it what landed me at this place. The cook also sold me when he had me try this sauce that is applied on the burger. It was pretty tasty. I ordered on the kiosk and they didn't take long for my food to be ready. They called the name that I put into the kiosk and ate it there at the food hall. I bought the slutty melt which is served on Texas toast. It was really fulfilling. It also came with Cajun fries which are also good. I have no complaints about my food. I will definitely come again if I ever make another trip to Houston.

Fannin is where all the homeless gather and there is a strong smell of human urine on street level constantly and pools of yellow liquid around. The ordering is done via a touch screen and two guys cook in the back. It took 30 minutes to get your order back and on top of that; they don't call out your order and you either have to check or pester the staff. After all of the waiting, your order is then cooked incorrectly. The food itself is average; it's a smash burger on a premade bun and fries are fried from a frozen state. Overall wasn't a very pleasant dining experience and the area around the Underground clearly has negatively affected the success of the businesses inside.

Just before closing, we had the place to ourselves and got to shoot the S with the owner who gave us its very cool history. 38 years in, and a few miles on his ledger, Marty still cranks out some fabulous food! The place was like walking into the 50's, with the old school metal tables and ample linoleum. I LOVE Louisiana cooking, and it couldn't have been more authentic. The only problem I had with my shrimp gumbo is the bowl was too small (actually a filling portion) and loaded with succulent, tender shrimp. Yummmmm! The cornbread was sublime and dipping it in the gumbo was killer! John had a Po Boy and said it was heavenly. The fries were obviously fresh cut and perfect. We finished with the bread pudding as we are both connoisseurs, and boy did it not disappoint. Thank You for yet another 5 star experience and a return visit will be on the horizon! Cheers, JimG

Their shrimp basket- definitely use the table seasoning (the orange one is the cajun one) to give the fries a kick and flavor but the shrimp doesn't need it! It's sooo tasty and complex kinds of savory. Also not super heavy nor greasy. The catfish is also yum, cornmeal kind of batter. I'd rec the hot sauce for it. Love the crisp and how it's fried to perfection. Fried chicken was devoured by husband in 3 minutes. The guy at the counter was cool and friendly and loved his vibe.

You get four items in it and a side of potatoes for about $6-7. It is half the price and better quality than room service. The neighborhood and building seem shady. All the doors were locked and you had to order at the window and seat outside only if you wanted yo eat there. The glass on the back door was shattered and some fell out when tired to get in cause it was locked. The lady who took my order was friendly and efficient. They do take phone and card payments but do NOT take discover. So paid cash instead. Food was great and better value and quality than room service. Would definitely come back here when in town again and recommend you give them a try.

What luck!?!? Much respect to the owners and chefs for not skimping out on portion sizes - by no means were these "salad" shrimp - those bad boys were HUGE...and the fish?!? WHEW!!! Let me tell you...those hard earned "no one wants to admit we're in a recession" dollars - your wallet will be respected as each bite is beyond worth it! Ambiance/Decor was so well thought of - a true ode to the Black & Houston's 3rd Ward's culturally rich communities. Going back is an absolute must and I would highly suggest sampling your way around the menu. As a frequent traveller - I'll certainly be back but only one question remains...When will we get a location in the DMV area?!? You guys will CRUSH it!!!

And unlike most, they actually had some kick to them, AND you can tell that they use a quality bacon--not that cheap crap. (I'm an HEB brands connoisseur and I think it's HEB thick cut bacon. LOL!) --I snuck a piece of fish off of my cousin's plate, and it was sooooooo good. So, I'm looking to try that next time that the gates sauce. YOU MUST GET THE GATES SAUCE!!!!! --Nice touch with the flosspick they provide! Cons: --If you eat outside, you have to deal with the smokers, and the tons of uber eats and doordash drivers. --The kiosk doesn't list all of their items, so you're better off using their app. (Hopefully the location's management takes care of this, bc I find using the kiosk to be more convenient, and my phone's battery is always low.) Overall: The food was good, and I plan to come back.
