    Swamp water
    Kandi R.

    Let me start by saying this........HANDS DOWN!!!!!! IT WAS a party of 4, and yes, we ate in!!! Because it felt like home. The food was a comfort to our soul and bellies. Our table order: OxTails Fried pork chops Fried rib tips Fish All the sides Swamp water Kool-aid (fruit punch) x3 Let's just say....did were stuck.....the owner gave such a welcoming vibe we all wanted to hug her after we ate. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection......we are foodies!!!! And this spot did not disappoint..... I wanted seconds of everything. Bae took the rest of the Oxtails and inhaled them quickly. Now, the cabbage was not ready, but the substitutions were so on point!!! But they did bring out the cabbage when it was ready.....they throw licks!!! I can't tell you enough how delicious this place was!!!!! Just go... thank me later!!!! So we wanted something sweet.....lawdy she was out of cake... but had sweet potato cheecacake from her husband birthday!!!! So he welcomed us to celebrate with him as we were celebrating a birthday within our party too! Go and come back to tell me about it The outside made you think of the corner store, and inside it felt like the community food spot, old head watching the door, others playing cards while they waited......it was just a home vibe for me, like I was with my auntie and cousins in the south!!!! Man, just GO NOW, RUN, because you are about to miss out

    Cozy little place, very friendly staff and guests. This place reminds me of my hometown, Memphis. Definitely soul food!!. Everything I ate was delicious. I had fried catfish..too good, lemon pepper wings...cooked just right and full of flavor. I also had collard greens and cabbage with delicious corn bread. I wanted to check in the back kitchen to see if my mother and grandma (reincarnated )was back there!! I definitely give D & N kitchen a total 10 !

    We stayed one night in San Antonio and found this gem. We walked in and the owner is sitting in the dining area chatting with customers coming through the door. The establishment is an older one, BUT as soon as you sit down you notice how clean they keep everything. Very homey and welcoming. The food was a solid 9 out of 10. I ordered the oxtails--- the meat was so savory and tender, rice perfectly cooked and the cornbread has the perfect balance of sweet and salty, definitely recommend you try it. My husband got the fish and chicken: he thought it was delicious. Chicken was perfectly cooked and crispy . But he said the catfish as a hit out of the ballpark. Everything was fresh and authentic- delicious. Come with time, the wait is worth it!! I'd love to visit again!

    Lunch is served - fried wings, candied yams and smothered cabbage.

    San Antonio soul food lovers, I would like to introduce you to a new contender in the African-American foodie diaspora. If you're living, working or visiting San Antonio and you are willing to venture just a little East of downtown, then check out D & N Kitchen, a woman-owned business that opened in 11/2021. At D & N Kitchen, the people are friendly and the food hits just right to make you feel like you' are eating at Auntie's house. And, Ms. Acquanetta knows how to throw down and cook soul food classics like fried chicken, fried fish, oxtails, pork chops, collard greens, cabbage, mashed potatoes and more. The portions are righteous and the the prices are reasonable. Phone orders are accepted; however, if you don't order in advance, be prepared to sit back and politely wait for your food to be cooked. I ordered a fried wing plate which included two sides and cornbread. I selected candied yams and cabbage as my sides and I was satisfied with every bit of that meal, especially those perfectly fried wings. The restaurant is not fancy, but I enjoyed escaping from work, kicking back, chatting with the lunch crowd, including local comedian Alvin Perry, listening to some classic soul music and chowing down on those wings. Ya'll know how we do, YOU better go get you some!!! D & N Kitchen is located off Commerce Street and is openTuesday - Friday from 11:30 am - 7:30 pm.

They have so many options to suit your dietary preferences such as dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian. They also promote organic and sustainable sourced food. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy. It was served with brown rice and side salad with balsamic vinaigrette. It was pretty good, and you can taste the freshness of the food. I also ordered The One and Only Sweet Potato cupcake. They were just finishing up a batch when I asked if they were dairy free, the employee told me that they were NOT dairy free due to the cream cheese frosting, but she had some cupcakes that were not frosted and could sell me one! I'm so happy about this because I was able to enjoyed a little treats and this cupcake was DELICIOUS 100/10, definitely recommend. I got my other coworker the cupcake with cream cheese My coworker ordered the Tender Chicken Breast with the Chili Love flavoring and ordered it was a side of Mac and Cheese. She really enjoyed the chicken but not a big fan of the Mac and cheese. I was IN LOVE with the seating options, it was all outdoor, provided entirely with shade, a couple of fans to keep the area nice and cool, and lots and lots of plants. They played some tropical latin salsa/jazz music which created such a peaceful atmosphere. I loved how they served the meals in biodegradable containers/plates. They do encourage you to recycle anything recyclable. They also ask that you clean and wipe down the table (which I was glad to do.) I had a great experience as they were able to accommodate my dietary preferences of being dairy free--I will definitely return for the vibe and to try more items on the menu.

    If you're anywhere near the east side of San Antonio, do yourself a favor and stop by J's Eatery…read more From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a restaurant and more like we were being welcomed into someone's home. The vibe was warm, relaxed, and genuinely friendly. We started with the orange pepper chicken wings -- flavorful, crispy, and absolutely delicious. The sauce was not thick or overpowering, and the wings were cooked just right with that satisfying crunch. My wife and I both ordered the shrimp & grits -- I went spicy, she kept hers mild. Both were cooked to perfection. The shrimp were tender and well-seasoned, the grits creamy and rich, and the spice level on mine had just the right kick without overpowering the dish. Truly top notch. We also added cornbread and greens, and honestly, I could have eaten nothing but those greens and been completely happy. They were that good -- perfectly seasoned, comforting, and full of flavor. The whole experience felt like we were sitting at a friend's house while their dad and uncle -- the best cooks in the neighborhood -- were in the kitchen preparing a special meal just for us. That's the kind of place this is. We'll absolutely be back.

    Very delicious food! I had the fall off the bone oxtails! I meannnn. Delicious. I would call ahead…read moreto make sure they have them the day you're going to get them. I also had the greens and the yams. Everything was literally the BEST! Don't forget to try the pineapple lemonade. And shout out to Mr. J and his wife. They were so kind and welcoming. The spot had a home vibe with great music and lights. It was chill and not too loud. I'm adding this to my faves.

There was even a photographer floating around capturing moments throughout the restaurant. We grabbed seats at the bar and started with the Lavender Lemonade topped with Belvedere. Smooth, refreshing, and the lavender flavor was a nice touch. Now, the food! The collard dip was AMAZING - and yes, you read that right...collards! Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The bowl of gumbo was also flavorful, although it was definitely on the salty side, which happens to be right up my alley. The Praline French Toast was really good! The egg-to-bread ratio was spot on, giving it that perfect custardy texture without being overly heavy. And the side of bacon was cooked just the way I like it. Service was a little slow during our visit, but having good company definitely made it easier to overlook. The Sunday we went was also pretty quiet. I was hoping for more of that brunch-party vibe but maybe we just caught them on a slower day. Overall, a nice brunch spot with a great atmosphere, good food, music, and plenty of potential for a lively Sunday experience. I'd definitely come back to see it on a busier brunch day!

It's beautifully decorated and has a dark and moody vibe, especially around the bar. The drink I had was a lemon drop made with lavender. I'd never had that twist before so I was curious. It was suggested by our waitress. It was good but not great and my husband's old fashioned was disappointingly lightweight. Our food was okay, not great. It was lacking flavor especially the greens. The dish I would recommend however, would be the Collard dip appetizer. It was the best part.

Ma Parker prides herself on family, giving people second chances and a decent meal for a reasonable price. Everyone who came in for lunch paid Ma Harper respect and was treated like family. The decor is die-hard NOLA with tons of memorabilia. The booths and chairs are old but the food is made with pride and love. The fried shrimp po-boy, fully dressed on a perfect NOLA roll was a must try. A small side of red beans and rice was also included. The sandwich was packed with crispy fried shrimp, but the normal remoulade sauce was replaced with ketchup / mayo mixture, not savory. The red beans and rice were fine but lacked real flavor. I am glad I gave Ma Harper's Creole Kitchen a chance. Many of the frequent flyers here, obviously love this neighborhood staple. Ma Harper's has a big heart and I wish her continued success. Dining here is more than food, it can also be about love and feeding people. Thanks Ma Harper for a memorable experience.
