I have mixed feelings about Luby's. I grew up eating at…read moreLuby's and I always liked it. Being a child going through the line having a choose your own adventure lunch after church was always so fun. As an adult, I'm less enthused or impressed... We only come to Luby's when someone invites us and even then we debate just coming home and finding something for lunch. It's not that it's gross, it's just that it's hit or miss with very limited options. If you're looking for healthier foods, you can find some... but the flavor is lacking. As far as side dishes go, there are some vegetable options or a salad. If you're looking for not so healthy options, there are plenty... the fried fish in its weirdly rectangular shape is my favorite. This location has been hot the last few times I've been there and I don't know about you, but eating while I'm hot is one of my least favorite things and it makes my stomach hurt. So then I leave here sweating, with a tummy ache, and a bag of leftovers because I couldn't eat anymore due to the heat. Take that as you will. It's fine. Good for a group after church and always full of the after church crowd. I'd rather go next door to Fuddruckers.

I'm not sure whar has happened lately. If its this location or all. They are super stingy on their servings now. They wont fill their scoop when serving. Maybe 3/4 full at best. Ive even seen them serve food on the plate then remove some...like they are worried they gave you too much. The sides use to heap over...now they don't even fill the little bowl. Their macaroni has also lost its magic. It just tastes bland and lifeless now. Its never changed in the 40 years ive gone to Lubys but it definitely different. If this is the new norm then they might lose us as long time customers

But like with nearly everything else, I would pass by it all the time only to not ever set foot into it. While I was getting another haircut, I thought about places to grab lunch afterwards. It occurred to me that I should give Kelley's a try. And that's how I found myself among its Saturday lunch crowd. Anyone who has lived in the area for a long time knows that the location fell victim to a Valentine's Day fire some years back. It was subsequently rebuilt, thus the interior felt so brand new. For lunch, I had the Saturday special consisting of roast chicken and dressing alongside red beans and rice, macaroni and cheese and cole slaw. Portions-wise, everything was just fine. Kelley's is known to fill its guests up (you have to try their breakfast, by the way). Unfortunately, however, the meal was simply underwhelming. The chicken lacked seasoning, and the dressing was absent of any flavor. The sides were the saving grace, if anything. I live near the restaurant's sister branch in La Marque, so I know that there's more to try on the menu if I return.

The food tastes great, but the fishy smell of the food literally lingered in my car overnight and we live less than 5 minutes from the restaurant. Even after being in the fridge, as soon as you take it out to reheat, it smelled pungent. The service when I went in to pick up the food was great. The people who bagged my food and rang me up weee friendly and funny. However, when I went home, my husband told me how his experience was. Not great. He ordered takeout for us on a busy family night. When he asked what sides there were to choose from, he was literally told that there were too many sides to read off. We didn't have a takeout menu at home. He literally hung up with the person to look up the menu, and then call back to order. I wish I had a better review to report.

I checked out Mikki's Soulfood Cafe with two buddies on a Monday evening for dinner. Parking is a…read morecinch in the large parking lot they share with several other businesses in a shopping center right off 518. There are some things I like about Mikki's and some things I don't like. Let's dive into it. Ambiance (4/5): This is one of the areas where Mikki's shines. The restaurant looks great. It's clean, snazzy, and there's plenty of seating. We sat at a booth. The A/C was blasting so hard that I was a bit cold, but I'd much rather take this than the alternative. They also have a private room for events or more intimate gatherings. Service (2.5/5): This is where part of my problems with Mikki arose. We came to this soul food restaurant for Pearland Restaurant Weeks. For $35, you have a choice of several entrees, sides, and a dessert for $35. My friend looked at what it would cost to order these items individually and it came out to less than $35... weird. I've been to Houston Restaurant Weeks for many years and the beauty of it is that you get a deal while doing good for the community. At Mikki's for Pearland Restaurant Weeks, you do good for the community without getting a good deal. Naturally, we avoided the special menu when we figured out the parking structure. Outside of this mishap, while you order at the counter cafeteria style, we did have a member of the staff stop by to ask how we're doing and we were thanked upon leaving. Drinks (2.5/5): Mikki's has a full bar, and even has daiquiris, but I was well-behaved. I had some Kool Aid which brought me back. I used to drink it as a kid. At Mikki's, for a small Kool-Aid, it's going to run you $4.75. If you've ever had Kool Aid before, you know it's super cheap. I know that restaurants and bars will always charge a premium for drinks compared to a grocery store but $4.75 for a small without free refills?! At pretty much any restaurant, you can get a soft drink or an iced tea with free refills for less than this price point. Just a bit steep. Food (3/5): You'll find a lot of soul food classics at Mikki's like oxtails, fried chicken, catfish, yams, collard greens and more. I opted to go with the beef tips with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The beef tips are essentially like a beef stew with a little burst of spices. Some chunks of beef were a little too fatty. Some were just right. The mashed potatoes were solid, just a bit dry. The mac and cheese was great. I'd get this side every single time. You also get a dinner roll or cornbread with every entree (as stated on the menu). They didn't offer me my bread, and I had to ask for it. One of my friends didn't get theirs at all. Mikki's can get quite busy on the weekends, it's definitely a popular spot. You'll see pictures of celebrities who have been there including Stephen A. Smith, 50 Cent, Tyrese, and many others. Where's my picture on the wall?! ;) While there are some attractive things about Mikki's, the missteps (seemingly taking advantage of customers a bit to increase their profit margin) soured the experience for me a bit.

They're also focused on fixing their own Togo plates for when they leave. The gravy is so think on the turkey wings bc of how old it is, the rice is cold as well. It's 2 hours from closing and she couldn't give me fresh cabbage, but they clearly put out a new pan of Mac and cheese. Though it also looked like it had been out for at least an hour. The cornbread is thin and hard as hell too. So disappointing since it's so close to my house. I feel like I should've just left without getting anything, but I don't have time to go find something else. I also think it's crazy to include the rice as a side when it's apart of the main dish. Probably won't be back.

The place was packed and there was a line of people waiting - I knew that was a good sign! The line moved fast and the staff were like worker bees - everybody getting the tables cleaned, people seated and orders taken with in minutes of sitting down. Mary the Manager never missed a beat - she was making it all happen and made it look effortless - with a smile on her face. Our server SAL was top notch, explained everything on the menu that I drilled him about - really painted a picture of what the items was all about, helped me with making a selection! Give that kid a Gold Star - he is my server for life at Red OAK. He took care of us with a smile and quick service, what a shining star they got when they hired him! Now for the food - mercy is all I can say - the biscuits were out of this world - flaky, fluffy and fabulous! I got the Breakfast special and everything on the plate was perfect - the bacon was nice and crisp, hash browns were golden and egg really over easy - cooked to perfection. THE Pancakes - eyes rolling back in head - the biggest, fluffy golden brown things you have every seen and the syrup came in a glass carafe that warm syrup was an extra special touch. The coffee was their own brand and the flavors were Pecan and Cinnamon, very smooth, and very hot and refilled often. Do yourself a favor and go to Red Oak Cafe in League City on Main Street and ask for Sal and get ready for a great expericence and excellent food and service! I live in Woodlands Tx and will drive 60 miles again to eat at this place!

Total was $51.47. All I can say is..where is the salt?! Seasonings?! Love?! I regretted going in the moment I walked in, but I ordered anyways. The meatloaf was probably the best out of the 3 plates, and even that wasn't good. The roast beef was not good. Let me tell you, you can get a cheap cut of meat and still make it taste good. But this cut was cheap and not prepared correctly. It was a sad sad lunch. I got side eyes the whole time at lunch because I chose the lunch spot. The pies were good. Out of the lemon meringue and cheesecake, I preferred the lemon meringue. I would be surprised if they made the pies in house, because if they do, great for them. They should just be a bakery. Regardless, I will never..NEVER return. I'm sorry to whoever's mamas or grandmamas in the kitchen, but they need to retire. I said what I said.
