I ordered online the to go family 10 pc chicken meal with Mac n cheese sautéed cabbage but somehow ended up with collard greens. When I say exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing and seasoned to perfection. Now the peach cake cobbler tastes better warm than cold. I also ordered the red velvet cake for my daughter she loved it. But I will definitely be back despite the front staff not really displaying good customer service at Potranco Location. read more

No lines when we came. Ordered catfish, added wings. Had to go to the counter a few times to get napkins and sauce. We picked collard greens and yam, greens as sides. Catfish: heavy batter. Lacks flavor, good size Wings: lacks soul food flavor Yam: cold String beans: Ok Collard greens: Ok. Clean. Yes to military discount. Holiday weekend maybe a factor? Not sure. read more

Sat quickly. Ordered the chicken and eggs with potatoes, I was asked if I wanted a thigh and drumstick or two thighs, I asked for two thighs but was served the drumstick and thigh. Food is cooked to order so it does take over 30 minutes. Home cooking does take a bit so I understand that part. Hubby got the biscuits but said they were salty. Fountain drinks were out of order so our options were tea, Kool aid or tea. Food came out hot and crispy but just wasn't for Me. Hope your visit goes better and you enjoy the food.. read more

Stopped in around noon while en route to a concert--just looking for a quick snack, not a full-blown sit-down. First impressions: very clean, friendly staff, and a space that feels like it comes alive in the evenings. Cocktails are available, and I can absolutely see this being a solid breakfast or brunch spot too. I ordered the two-piece chicken with onion rings. Portion check: generous. A huge breast and a large wing--honestly impressive given how chickens are built these days. The chicken was fried beautifully: golden, crispy, and moist. Same goes for the onion rings--well fried, no grease overload. Now let's talk flavor, because this is where I keep it honest. I love fried chicken. I know fried chicken. And while this was cooked perfectly, it was missing that seasoning punch. I kept waiting for garlic... black pepper... something to tap me on the shoulder and say "Hey, I'm here." The onion rings were in the same lane--technically solid, but just okay flavor-wise. By the time I got to the hotel, hunger had taken the wheel and the microwave did what microwaves do--which is not justice. An air fryer would've been the real MVP. Photo disclaimer because I already know how Yelp works: The photos are an afterthought. I was hungry. I didn't think about pictures until later. And yes--I shared that big-breast and the onion rings with my husband. What you're seeing is shared chicken, shared onion rings. Back off me. Would I go back? Absolutely. There are several other items on the menu I'd love to try, and the vibe alone makes it worth another visit. Sometimes a place just needs one more round to bring the seasoning out of witness protection. Honest review. Fair shot. No regrets. read more

Food is massive!!!! Delicious and fresh..... Service - man!! Slow and a little bit chaotic... but VERY slow. PREPARE to wait.. Restaurant was nice, clean.. It was our 1st time there, it started to fill up with people and conversation. It was a nice vibe. I would return, take cash because otherwise it's a small fee if you use your credit card. I do recommend checking it out. read more

This is most definitely our new spot now I can't wait to try the oxtails. Our waitress was very nice. I didn't get her name, but I know she's expecting her first boy.

I went this morning with my boyfriend, been going to Mr. C's Fried & Waffles on Shanefield since they open. but, this morning we went , ordered shrimp & grits, with cheese. theirs all new staff , all Hispanics even the cook. one black female I believe she was the manager. the food was horrible, bland no taste, or flavored. their was hair in my boyfriend shrimp & grits. he lost his appetite. they didnt charge him his meal. I got Red Velvet Cake, was disappointed it had plain white icing, whip cream on top bland was not prepared with cream cheese. restaurant was pretty empty. now I see why. the food was horrible. read more

The catfish had no seasoning. The catfish was heavily breaded. The catfish filets were a decent size, but the breading makes the serving deceiving. The collard greens were good. The fried okra was good. I am not a fan of the fish, it was very disappointing. read more

Didn't even get what we ordered. We ordered six pieces of chicken with two waffles to-go that took over 45 minutes. When I got the food, got home, only one waffle was in the bag and we were given tartar instead of ranch for the Buffalo ranch... The staff said it would be about 25 minutes. Multiple people came after us, ordered more, and left before we were given food. The staff was not overly busy, about 3/4 of tables were full. Not worth the time or money. Very upset we paid so much for soggy food and didn't get what we ordered. Definitely skip. read more

The fried chicken is amazing! I am also a fan of their grape kool-aid. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of greens and yams . Everything was delicious but the greens were a little salty . Not bad though. The staff is friendly and greet you as you come in. They were also helpful in ordering by giving suggestions . The restaurant is clean . read more

Another great experience at Mr C's! Wait staff took care of 4 adults and 1 toddler with a great sense of service and sprinkled with fun. Just realized tonight that not only is the food fantastic, but they have a full bar as well! The manager stopped by to see that we got all our food and that we were happy with both food and service. Husband started with fried gizzards, then blackened catfish and he loved them both. Our daughter had breakfast for dinner and those pancakes with banana and caramel sauce looked fabulous. Our other daughter and I stuck with the fantastic tender and juicy chicken! If you like cabbage, you will LOVE Mr C's cabbage; truly best in SA (maybe even TX)! Causal atmosphere so you feel right at home. read more

First off... this is the week to try this place!! They have a PROMO!! One leg or thigh and one of their crispy fluffy wonderful waffles for 99cents! Yes !! 99 cents!! Perfect day for us to try this outstanding spot! Chicken and waffles alone are a BIG YES for me but this place also adds KOOL AID! And Beautiful cakes- RED b VELVET, chocolate and banana pudding... everything you want from a SOUL FOOD restaurant. They also offer other amazing food ! Burgers, wings, fried pork chops, monte Cristos, the list is endless. Seriously. Prices are great for the amount of food you get. I'm talking LARGE PORTIONS! The waitress was amazing. On her game. Consistent, friendly , welcoming! They start the meal with Homemade sweet corn bread and soft sweet butter - I mean.. come on!! From there it just gets better! I promise. Go by TODAY!! read more

Two stars as the service was terrible from the server and kitchen. The chicken was good and hot. Otherwise this would be a one star. My wife and I went on a Friday for lunch. Initially I was nervous that it would be packed but it was not even half full. Great I thought! We were sat immediately. The wait for the initial drink order was normal but after that the service just went down hill. We waited a bit to put in our order but not a huge deal. Once the server took our order we ended up waiting 30 minutes for our food to get to us. By the time we ordered and we got our food, it was a total of about 45 minutes since we had sat down. I had to remind the server that my coffee needed to be refilled as it was empty. We got our food and we sat there for about 5 minutes before the server came back and we let her know we didn't have utensils. My wife's mac and cheese did not seem hot and fresh. It was only warm and seemed to be a day old. As we sat there and ate our food, we were reminded by seeing other customers that Mr. C's gives complementary corn bread. We never got our corn bread. It would have been nice to eat the corn bread while we waited for 30 minutes to get our food. We waved down the hostess as our server was rarely checking up on us and she got us the corn bread. Kitchen staff need to step up their game. The server that was on shift at 12 PM today either needs to step up her game or the manager should put a second server on duty. Or the hostess need to help the server with her duties. I'm not sure what the answer is but there was no lunch rush while we were there and I don't see an excuse for the bad service. read more

My daughter & I went to eat at Mr C's Fried Chicken. The sign on the podium inside said "wait to be seated". The waiter seated us. After being seated, I ordered smothered pork chops, candid yams, greens & grape kool-aid. My daughter ordered meatloaf, cabbage, green beans & punch. My smothered pork chops were 2 fried pork chops with mushroom gravy poured on top. The waiter asked if I wanted the pork chops fried or broiled. Broiled? I was puzzled. I never eaten broiled smothered pork chops so I said fried. The meat loaf ordered by my daughter appeared old, so she sent it back & ordered Gulf fried shrimp. We ordered peach cobbler & banana pudding for dessert. I was disappointed with the pork chops, they were not smothered in gravy (see attached photo). But here is the kicker! This was our first time dining at Mr C's. Receiving our bill (see photo) we noticed the total: $59.64 CASH OR & $61.92 USING CREDIT/DEBIT CARD. We did not know there was a credit/debit card charge. The cashier said, the notice is on the door & the counter top. We did not notice the sign on the door & we did not notice the note on the counter. The note on the podium said, "wait to be seated". So seeing a credit/debit charge, I refused to pay the card fee so I went to Walmart, got cash & paid cash for our meals. RECOMMENDATION: Take cash with you when dining out as not to be charged for using plastic. read more

Flavorful food for sure but I wish the chicken wasn't so greasy. I loved the greens and the yams for sure 5/5!

Food was amazing. Great customer service. Will definitely be back. Prices are great as well. Evenlynn's service was exceptional

While in San Antonio, we like to check out the restaurants, especially soul food, since we cannot get it in our area. Next on the list of recommendations was Mr. C's. We ordered the 10 piece meal with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. I made green beans at home to go with them. It came with cornbread. We also paid the up charge to have it mixed and ordered the family pack of chicken wings. When we arrived, they were packing up our order. The place is small but really cute. They have a chalkboard with drinks on it. The staff was really nice. The food came out HOT! When we arrived back home, the family tried it and felt it could use more seasoning for us. Everything tasted ok. We may try something else next time and eat in the restaurant. read more

Great atmosphere upon walking in. There's an energetic vibe and the staff is friendly and attentive. We ordered the homestyle meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and Mac and cheese along with the catfish and fried okra. Everything was absolutely delicious!! The meatloaf was tender and juicy. The mashed potatoes were seasoned perversely. The catfish was crunchy and flavorful. I can't wait to visit this place again. read more

We dined in for breakfast this morning at opening time. I will say I deducted 1 Star due to the buisness not being open on time at stated on their door at 8 am. We approached the door at 8:04 am and it was still locked. We stood there for a moment and no one came to open the door for us so we were going to go to another establishment that was actually open with the door open. Right as we were walking away a waitress came and said they were trying to find the key to unlock the door. Upon returning and I looked at the door and it didn't take a key so I wasn't impressed with that. Now on to the food the best part :) this was the 1st time ever trying Mr.C's and I was impressed. I had the chicken tenders and waffle. My hubby had 2 chicken thighs and waffle and grits. My dish was delicious. The waffles had a slightly sweet taste and the chicken was amazing. Seasoned to perfection and fried perfectly. It was juicy and not dry and not spicy or overly seasoned. My hubby enjoyed his dish as well. The plates have huge portions as well. We had 2 slices of cornbread and that was so good. It was slightly warm when served. The restaurant was clean and so were the bathrooms. The parking lot I could see would be tight if you park in front of the establishment but plenty of parking to the side and back. read more

The worst take out experience. I ordered 3 tenders & 2 thighs and 2 waffles. It took an hr+ to get my order and this place was dead at 4:45pm. Forgot my corn bread too when I specifically asked the cashier to add it in my order. Waffles are pancake mix no density its fluffy like a pancake smh. Never eating here again, save your money ppl. read more

Not sure why my wife keeps wanting to spend her money with this place. Ordered 2 chicken sandwiches & 2 chicken tender/waffle plates. Once again, despite no one in the restaurant, they still got our order wrong (was supposed to have sweet potato waffle fries - we got regular; supposed to have the sauce on the side - we received no sauce). They now use these sealed plastic bags to package your food in, so not only could we not check our food before we left, the plastic seals in the moisture, so my entire piece of chicken was soggy (tenders were slightly crispy - go figure). Fries were bland - no salt or seasoning. Chicken breast was moist but again, had zero seasoning on it & the batter was like a wet paper towel. Apparently they do not brine their chicken ahead of time. Bread for the sandwich is thick, moist & tastes good, but too much for such a bland piece of chicken. The couple of pickles on it were also thin & had no crunch at all. Waffles & tenders were the only reason this is a 3 & not lower. 4 different orders over the past year or so & the result is consistently flavorless, incorrect soggy food. read more

My brother and I visited Mr. C's for dinner and they did not disappoint. We ordered their pork chops, and all the trimmings. We topped it off with red velvet cake and their double chocolate cake and it was amazing. My favorite was drinking out of the mason jars. Our waitress was the absolute best and she kept our tea jars full. I highly recommend you give them a try. read more

Clean and friendly vibe upon entering, greeted with a welcoming hello, choose your seating. Currently only 2-TV's synched, would be nice to have multiple screens with sports or movies/news. Menu was could benefit If laminated (some printing was faded) however, menu was detailed and has an excellent selections to choose from. I settled on the Blacked Catfish bc it was grilled and came with 2-sides. Took some time to arrive 20-25 mins However the server was awesome! A friend's sandwich was not up to standard and the manager took care of it by ordering another one, free of charge! Outstanding, The way to make a customer happy! My blacked catfish was full of flavor, well seasoned and cooked; mashed potatoes were amazing along with the mac and cheese, I shall return and explore the menu, Highly Recommended If in the area and would like to thank Mr.C's staff and management for an awesome experience, A+ read more

We eat here occasionally and are never disappointment. On our most recent visit, my wife had the smothered pork chops and I ordered the blackened catfish. Both entries were perfectly cooked -- tender, moist and flavorful without being overly seasoned. All the sides -- cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes and green beans -- were also tasty.

This meal was very disappointing. As someone who grew up eating southern foods, the entire meal was a miss. The chicken taste like Popeye's chicken. The fried green tomatoes way too salt and not enough flavor. I could feel my blood pressure going up with every bite. The cornmeal was over powering the tomatoes. The candied yams were not edible. They had a weird after taste, almost as if the used a sweetern instead of sugar. You can definitely tell the yams were not made with dark brown sugar. The cornbread was way too dry and crumbling as I picked it up. It taste like it was made with masa, similar to what is used to make tamales. They would do better with using jiffy cornbread mix.. This was a waste of $25. I will not return to this place. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because the people were nice. read more

i was underwhelmed, the chicken looked like it was cooked in old grease . it was not golden crispy brown as i am used to. Also the chicken breast was not fully cooked. Flavor was ok. read more

The food was not very good. Nothing worth waiting for. Waited at minimum 30 minutes for our food. And it was extremely greasy and lacked flavor all around. Would not eat again, even if it was free. I added a picture of the kids chicken tenders and fries so that way the amount of grease could be understood. read more

GOOD GOLLY!! Really... GOOD golly!! This southern gem has hooked me!! The decor is so cute with all their southern"isms" reminds me of a coffee mug I had that said, "Kiss my southern sass!" Started with the fried green tomato appetizer.. cornmeal crusted fried green tomatoes! Best I've ever had (outside of my mamma's)!! If you are with a group I recommend the fried green tomatoes and the onion rings for the appetizer. We ordered way too much but only because after the fried green tomatoes we wanted to taste EVERYTHING! I ordered the 2 piece fried chicken with sautéed cabbage. My cousin ordered the fried catfish with mashed potatoes and gravy. Then we ordered sides!!! Potato salad, fried okra, onion rings & green beans. Our waitress swiftly took our drink order and brought out the most beautiful Mason jar of fresh iced tea! The fried green tomatoes were perfection! Perfectly cornmeal breaded and fried until tomato was the perfect consistency. Everything was cooked perfect except the okra was a tiny bit salt. The fried chicken was juicy and plain southern.. no extra stuff in the batter to make it spicy or sweet or anything other than southern fried chicken. The fried catfish was cornmeal crusted!!! FINALLY, true southern catfish. It was well seasoned and fried to flaky! This will now be my go to for southern fried catfish... now if only they had hush puppies! But I digress... The sides... lord the sides... the sautéed cabbage is the best I have ever had... even better than my own! It has ALL the southern in it! We agreed it was our favorite thing we tasted! The red potato salad was very good, the green beans were delicious as well! My personal least favorite were the fried okra and the mashed potatoes with cream gravy. The okra is flour breaded which is not terrible but I like a little more cornmeal in my okra batter and it needed a bit less salt. The mashed potatoes were delicious according to my cousin, I'm not much of a mashed potato eater so they are not included in my overall review. And... don't be fooled... I ate the okra! Fried okra is my favorite so trust me it wasn't terrible... it just wasn't my favorite. Now... what is going on with their banana pudding?!?! Do they make their own vanilla wafers or do they have a secret baker somewhere because... the nilla wafers I get are no where near those babies!! The pudding is like crack... I could not stop eating if even if I was about to pop! I will be back! Again and again! PS... I sure would love to see some Lima beans, purple hull peas and hush puppies on the menu! read more

I have ordered from this location, several years. The quality of the food has gone downhill. The fried pork chops were tough hard to cut did not have batter or flour whichever they use adhere to it collard greens water down hardly any flavor yams out of the can with cinnamon sugar, and butter mixed in them, but not mixed and blended correctly chocolate cake ice cold, which meant is set in a refrigerator, waiting for an order to be placed and not even set out for room temperature. The only thing tasted halfway decent was the mac & cheese the cornbread taste like cake no cornbread flavor at all. I have to ask have they changed cooks because as many times as I have ordered from them, I have never been this disappointed on an order over $30 plus tips I will not be ordering from them again nor recommending this business. There are too many other Soulfood restaurants in San Antonio and the surrounding area it's time to reach out to one of them. There is no recommendation for Mr. C's coming from me. In fact I'm telling my friends moving forward to stay clear thanks for the service I did have prior years. Your food was outstanding, but for some reason now you have changed your flavors and probably cook because your soul food preparation couldn't be cooked by a person that knows true knowledge of flavorful SOUL FOOD! I'm sure u got my meaning! Food should have that soulful flavor like I had when u first opened. When u had cooks of color. I have placed my last order and will inform my associates to not waste their money......and try somewhere else Thank u.. forever dissatisfied/disappointed!!! read more

whatever you do dont go here. bad service wet chicken probably frozen little amount of fries chicken tasted like cat fish aswell

The wings 10/10. The flavors 10/10. It's hard for me to try too many options bc once I get something that good, I stick with it. The koolaid , LTO, 10/10. Sometimes I DoorDash for the koolaid and just add something in to the cart. Wings seasoned well. I've enjoyed their sides, also. The cornbread ! Love the condiment baggy !! read more
