    Buffet table with five sides
    John E.

    This place recently resumed the buffet. At $15.99 per person it is about the same price as several Chinese buffets that have better selections. Fried chicken was old and overcooked. Had to peal off the breading just to eat it. The roasted chicken was swimming in a pool of fat. The sides were bland and tasteless. The only good thing on the buffet were the yeast rolls. We had to ask for butter and knives. In addition you were only permitted two trips to the buffet. Although I cannot imagine why anyone would go back more than twice. There are two good Chinese buffets and at least five chicken restaurants within three miles of this place we will not return.

    My fried fish, gizzard and liver here I love it..... 6 Pcs Krispy Fish

    Food is always made to order hot and fresh services Fast service never get anything bad the ambience is inside of your . I would go here if you want fish, gizzard, liver or anything that's delicious.

    This place..... if I were homeless and someone offered me a FREE meal I wouldn't accept a plate from here!!! This place should be closed!! The workers are very rude and VERY unprofessional. But I'm here to discuss the food. Well for starters the food line was poor presentation, the mash potatoes had been there so long they were orange looking, the bread pudding, mac & cheese, and green beans were ICE cold and the chicken was fried hard. So I decided to try the gizzards, they had no taste, kind of like if you were to eat a clean handkerchief LOL sorry best I could come up with. On top of the food being poor it was leaking water all on the left side of the building and it had a weird mold smell. Would I go back.... YEAH..... when frogs bark!!!

    Seafood combo with two spicy wings and okra
    LeScotcia S.

    The chicken here has been consistently good for years now* The okra is My favorite side and the rolls are like heaven when not over baked hot out the oven.. The buffet is a great concept and offers a variety of items like mac and cheese, green beans, fruit, chicken pieces, tenders, fried fish and more but the only problem is at this location (I've only eaten the buffet at this location) the owner or whoever the lady is that manages this location waits until the pans are bottom dry before changing it out out You'll have to ask for chicken when it runs out which is ok bc it will be fresh but why is She policing the buffet so hard You'll see but it's worth the maybe $10 meal or less with a drink and the kids buffet is like $6 They also have a spicy version but it needs improvement it's overcooked or battered wrong causing it to be dark and dry Fish is sometimes good but the shrimp are best of the sea I wouldn't eat it as the fish is almost suspect Chicken and tenders are good when hot and fresh as well as the livers but I'll take some wings and okra and be happy Make sure You get an extra roll*

Luckily our server was able to move us to the covered outdoor seating after a little while which was a little better. The covered patio has fans.

Getting seated was a little chaotic. Indoor seating was pretty limited and not managed well. We end up sitting on the patio (still pretty toasty around sunset time). The giant pretzel we ordered for appetizer was excellent, highlight of the meal. The sourdough pizzas were pretty thin, overall I'd give the pizzas a 3/5. Of the 4 pizzas we tried, my personal ranking: 1. Spicy Goat 2. Duck Duck Shroom 3. Heirloom Margherita 4. Sweet & Spicy Pepperoni. Service was also disorganized and a little slow. I'd come back if I'm craving that pretzel.

My friend grabbed the Kulture Club Chicken, and I went for the Fried Catfish and Grits. Our waitress, Savannah (pretty sure that was her name), was a gem. She didn't just take our order; she guided us. She told my friend the club had goat cheese and broke down exactly why she probably wouldn't like it if she wasn't into blue cheese. Then she looked at me -- pescatarian, hungry -- and said, "Add the shrimp and get the crab sauce on top." Best decision I made all day. The plate didn't stand a chance. I would've taken an "after" photo, but I cleaned my plate. The staff were also super helpful with parking validation and making sure we were set. Inside, the vibe is casual but elevated -- stylish without trying too hard. I'm already planning my next visit.

We got a fish sandwich and a fish plate. With Mac and cheese and fried okra. The sandwich was probably the best fish sandwich in houston. The fish is so good!! Fried well and seasoned well. The Mac and cheese was very flavorful and creamy. The service was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's not a very large place so there's not many seats if they are busy. We came on a Sunday so it was pretty full with the after church crowd. But we were still severed timely. You can order yourself at the kiosk or with the server. You absolutely NEED to come here and try this food.

The A/C was broken. This is Houston. In June. Ain't no way - so i ordered my food to go, only to find out they only serve in to go containers anyway - okkkkk. I got the catfish plate with red beans, dirty rice and an extra side of greens. The fish was great. Big pieces, well seasoned, fried perfectly - 9/10. the dirty rice was don well too - 7/10. The red beans were ok, nothing special, but not bad either - 6/10. The GREEENS tho.... 1/10. NOPE - never again. Glory canned greens with a whisper of a thought of seasoning and half a gallon of pepper sauce. While waiting for my food, a lady already seated and eating starting having an episode from being overheated. It just wasn't a great experience and the food wasn't worth another try for me.

Downstairs has warmer lights and a kinda delicate feel. Anyhow, Let me just cut straight to it. Honestly I expected more from the food, they were just meh. The chicken wings could do with some flavor and its presentation needs fixing, maybe cut them. The wings were also dry and we had to ask for ketchup so maybe add some of the syrup to it or offer gravy. We enjoyed the oxtail omelet even though a few of my party thought it needed a little salt to boost it. The fried green tomatoes could have a dipping sauce but the famous chilli biscuits were well received. The country Benedict is a fried boil egg.

There's also parking in the back of the restaurant, or you can street park. A great place to stop to eat if you're in the Museum district, but make sure to make reservations, since there's a bit of a wait otherwise. We tried the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, hot chilli biscuits, oxtail omelette, jalapeño poppers, fried green tomato, croissant French toast, Mac n cheese and chicken fried steak. Of them all, I really liked the hot chilli biscuits, oxtail omelette, french toast and fried green tomatoes. The hot chilli biscuits were sized more like mini pancakes. The croissant French toast was delicious and sweet enough to eat without syrup, which is how I had it. I would get the oxtail omelette or the croissant French toast myself, if I come back. For drinks we tried the Moscow mule and peach mimosas. The peach mimosa was a little medicinal tasting, so I'd recommend the original mimosa.

You could easily come here for a fancy birthday celebration or just a casual lunch and brunch. I loved that I didn't feel weird having two kids under six with us. There were other families there, and it felt very welcoming without sacrificing that nice restaurant vibe. Everyone in the family really enjoyed what they ordered and the service was great! My oldest daughter had the cheeseburger with french fries and loved it, especially the bread which was nicely toasted and gave it a great crunch. My youngest had the chicken tenders with mac and cheese, and my husband really liked his stuffed poblano pepper dish. I ordered the country-fried pork with greens and mashed potatoes, and everything on my plate was delicious. The mashed potatoes were great, and the greens leaned more sweet than savory, which I really enjoyed. The fried green tomatoes were another major standout with the sauce they served. I honestly wish we had a spot like this back home! My only small critique is to skip the sweet tea. I haven't found a single place in Houston where the sweet tea was actually sweet enough for my taste, but overall, this was a fantastic spot with great service that I'd highly recommend.
