The point is plentiful, delicious, so much to choose from and the customer service is next to none! The restaurant was filled with diverse patrons, the mood was set to great old school music. The only draw back is that they are not closer to my home town. I would be there daily! The price was $25/plate and worth every penny. We had enough to eat a full plate that night at home.

Unbelievable, phenomenal, number one! I don't go out to Beaumont much, but how have I've never…read moreheard of this place!!?!!!!??? the food is simply amazing! Everything is top-notch. Also, the customer service is phenomenal.! everyone that works here treat you like family and super nice to you. I am so glad I stopped in today. I love how they keep the place super cold in the summer because it gets real hot in Texas. Food: this is some of the best food I've had in a long time. The beef tips remind me of a lot of Burt's , meat bar in Houston, Texas, who shut down right after Covid. The beef tips over white rice is amazing. So tender and so good my God how can you make food this amazing? The macaroni and cheese is phenomenal as well. So were the candy yams. The cornbread is great. The gravy that goes over the beef tips is simply the best. The hamburger steak is full of flavor as well. Once again, this is some of the best soul Food I've had in a long time. Top-notch customer service. Real nice people working here. I will definitely come back here anytime. Easiest five star review of written in a while. We need someone to come do a YouTube video on this place because this is what you call a hidden gem.

Walked in and was a little worried that it was soooooo quiet but glad we stayed because the Hubbs had a nice little chicken fried steak with awesome mashed potatoes and I had the fried catfish with Cajun fries and it was 4 good pieces and soo soo good. I couldn't even finish my plate , but it was awesome. Sweet tea is super sweet just how I like it and the prices were perfect for the amount of food. Sweet waitress was really nice and was able to help everyone that walked in. She seemed like she knew everyone and wasn't pressured at all with the crowed that started rolling in. Nice little spot. Tarter sauce a little salty but that's probably my only complaint so definitely will try it again!

A Little Southern Soul Food Stop in Orange, TX!…read more We stopped at Real Southern Cooking while passing through Orange after hearing it was a great spot for good, old-fashioned Southern Soul Food cooking. I had a couple of sides, while my friends each tried different menu items. Everyone agreed the food was tasty, flavorful, and definitely worth the stop! It's always nice to discover a local small business along the way, and I'm so glad we decided to stop in. I especially love supporting small businesses whenever I can. Definitely adding Real Southern Cooking to my list of places to visit again. If you're passing through Orange, on a weekday, it's worth making the stop! We'll definitely be back!

"I need to eat here some time." I kept saying that every time I crossed the railroad track on the…read moreway to the government offices. Real Southern Cooking appeared to be the tiny self-proprietor choke-and-puke that I love. Well, I tried it today. The Hunny and I have been married for 21 years, and between all of the choices, this is the one where we went for our anniversary. Real Southern Cooking looks more cafe than restaurant. Not fancy at all, just a few tables in a small area. The entire menu fits on two 8.5x11 pieces of paper on the wall. It appeals to those who say "I just want good food at a low price" - um, like me. It felt down home, too. We were surprised to see a Hispanic mama & her son behind the counter; service with a smile. The black man I expected in the back was seated at a table, finishing his lunch, and he was not only informative about the spice on everything, but friendly after witnessing us praying before eating. Some utility workers came in too, "I wish I could order everything!" It appears to be a place with a daily clientele. We both had chicken: the Hunny, chicken spaghetti, me, fried chicken. She liked hers, but found it a little spicy, like the chef included Rotel Tomatoes in the sauce. I had three small pieces, and it reminded me of extra-crunchy skin at places like Krispy Krunchy Chicken. The meat was tender and not too hot. 2 sides are included, and the amount of red beans & rice I got was larger than a mere side. Real Southern Cooking is indeed one of those places that fits the Southern diner stereotype, including the good food at a low price. Not totally Texas, but totally Southern. If you're traveling on I-10, it is located downtown, a few miles off the freeway. A few more items on the menu would take it up to 5-star territory; as you see, many Yelpers have it there now. Enjoy it now, ya hear?

While traveling through Sulphur during the lunch hour we decided to try out Hollier's Cajun Kitchen…read morefor some local flavor, the parking lot was mostly filled but we were able to get seated without a wait. After viewing the lunch buffet we decided to give it a try to save time. It seemed today most of the customers were locals comprised of contractors and maybe plant workers, there was no doubt this place is a local favorite. After placing our drink orders we proceeded to the steam table and grabbed our plates, most of the food seemed fresh and definitely hot, the kitchen was in the process of refilling items as we served ourselves. Honestly there was nothing bad here but after trying a few bites I was reaching for the hot sauce to jazz things up a bit. I thought the prices were a little steep considering the portions we chose, if you're one that will make multiple trips to the food bar it's probably a good deal. We felt the food quality and preparation was just okay, it's likely we would not return or travel out of our way to dine here again. The staff was very friendly and accommodating it's just not the type of place we frequent...

Each day is different with the exception of Fri/Sat both offering seafood.

You can get it over their French bread or just about anything else! The redfish is amazing, the chicken salad is fantastic, Nina's chicken (grilled or fried) and veggies are delectable, the potatoes are ginormous and filled generously with your choice of topping. The BBQ potato is at least two meals and the one filled with crawfish sauce is just ridiculous! Definitely a favorite spot for an incredible meal anytime!

We ordered crab cakes to start which were pretty decent, there wasn't too much crab but they were a very good price 2 for $18. I also ordered the shrimp and grab gumbo and loved it.

I'd certainly recommend checking this restaurant out.
