    Stopped by Nana's Kitchen during my MLK weekend trip to Fort Worth, and it was a soul food highlight! I got the two-piece catfish with sweet potatoes and mac & cheese--fish fried to crunchy perfection on the outside, juicy and full of flavor inside. My son loved his honey BBQ wing special with fries; the sauce had just the right sweet kick. The place sparkled with cleanliness--even the restroom smelled fresh like citrus. Bussers kept tables wiped down constantly, and the staff was super friendly, checking in to make sure we had everything. Met the owner too; she's genuinely warm and customer-focused, which made the vibe even better. If it weren't an hour from Dallas, I'd be weekly. Fort Worth soul food done right--thanks for the love! Tip: Go hungry; portions are generous.

    Sweet potato and greens

    We end up leaving for a couple reasons. When we first arrived not greeted but asked if we were doing to-go or dine in (I'm not saying people don't have bad days but your at work, cheer up). We chose dine-in and when we got to the table asking to pay before I even ordered food is a little bit much. Why not just take the order when we walked in. I still looked over the menu to kinda feel out the vibe and service. Well I attempted to order the chicken fried chicken the waitress asked did I want Brown or White gravy. I then asked were both homemade and she hesitated as if I asked something wrong and kinda a blank look. And at this point I knew we wouldn't be staying. I did order 2 sides just to try and give a review besides the service. I ordered the greens and sweet potatoes to go. So is the sit anywhere and pay now normal?? (My first visit)

    Baked chicken,  Fish,Shrimp and meatloaf
    Pat Lee D.

    Ordered the fish combo (*included 1 fish filet and 6 shrimp) with greens and fries and cornbread. The cornbread was cold and didn't looked done. The shrimp was cold, fish was okay but I've had better. The greens were ok but had better. Asked for some hot cornbread and they stated, they were making it fresh and it came back out just heated and not made fresh..still showing not being cooked thoroughly. Fries were supposed to be the crinkle cut and they were shoestring. Asked for plain water..received water with lemon. The cake was not fresh. My two girlfriends food was terrible too..they ordered the meatloaf and baked chicken and it was not very tasty. The baked chicken was overcooked and the meatloaf was too thick and not tasty. The waitresses kept forgetting items that we needed. The atmosphere was ok. I will never come here again.

    A Great Time

    The food is absolutely amazing The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The environment is off the chain! Live DJ with great soothing music. I will continuously recommend Nana's Kitchen to everyone!!! Delicious

    The food is so good!!!! Service was very friendly all the sides were amazing and had great flavor. Will definitely be back.

    I'm a Foodie fr Chicago born Chef had a taste for some delicious soul food today! To say the least everything I had was beyond delicious NaNa's Kitchen exceeded my palates expectations. I've been in TX 9yrs & this is the 1st time I've dined out & had a home experience. No other can compare!! From the moment you enter the establishment the Customer Friendly Service is Superior an at home vibe. Big Ups to Joy, Rose & Eve for taking care of me. It was a sincere Pleasure to see NaNa come out and engage w/customers, pleasure meeting you Nana!!!!!! Sincerely, Your Newly Happy Customer

    2 fried catfish with mashed potatoes + green beans
    Uyen V.

    Food was great and customer service was great as well. You either call ahead or order inside when you get there. Food takes so out 15-20min to be ready. You wait in your car & they'll bring it out to you. You get 2 sides with every entree. I got the 2 piece fried fish with mashed potatoes (you can choose white gravy or brown) and green beans, comes with cornbread and 2 sauces. the total came out to be around $21. The young lady who took my order was soo sweet & kind. The food tasted AMAZING. The fish was so well seasoned that I didn't need any of the sauces. Crispy and hot. Mashed potatoes were buttery. Green beans were just your basic green beans. I barely finished the entire box, it was a lot of food.

    Google reviews did me a solid. I'll start this review that for the most part I'm boycotting YELP…read moresince they removed my 2025 Elite status for the first time in 14 yrs. Craving fried chicken and decided to head to Juicys Soul Food and learned they had closed....uggggh. Not to be deterred discovers Linda's Soul Food to go and called to inquire if they had fried chicken. They did. Yahoooo. Off we went. Upon arrival and as we entered this little gem I just admit I was worried. It was dead and appeared only one person was working. We learned they only had 4 meat offerings, fried chicken, fried pork chops, meatloaf and fried catfish. We were a bit disappointed when we learned they only had wings and legs for the fried chicken but moved on and placed an order. I had the fried chicken legs, collard greens, fried cabbage and Mac n cheese. She opted for the fried pork chops and Mac n cheese. The serving size are huge. 3 legs, 3 pork chops. Sides are plentiful. Are you ready? Absolutely delicious. The fried pork chops were the best we have ever had out. The Fried chicken was equally as good. HOT. JUICY. Soooo good. The Mac n cheese was better than Juicys. Cheesy and gooey goodness. I loved it. The collards were also better than Juicys....id argued one of the best I've ever had out. My mom would have been in heaven. Speaking of heaven...the Fried Cabbage is to die for... A major home run!

    I was in the area and searched soul food. This place came up with great reviews so I decided to…read morecheck them out. The guy that helped me was pleasant. He offered me a sample of chicken tetrazzini that wasn't on the menu. He swore it was good, and it was! I ordered that with corn and greens, since the cabbage I originally requested would not be ready for another 15 minutes. Chicken tetrazzini was 9/10. Very good. The corn and greens were cooked with waaaaayyyyy too much pepper and should have been labeled as spicy corn and spicy greens. Also, the greens needed to be picked - I had too many big stems in my serving, and I'm not a fan of those. Would I go back when I'm in the area? Yes. Will I take advantage of them offering samples on everything? Absolutely! Reel back on that pepper, and they are in there. I recommend.

Building is a little intimidating, unmarked, screens on the windows and doors,…read morebut the inside is quaint and friendly....and the owner is a sweet lady with a friendly smile and great conversation....

    The food was not warm at all. The strawberry cake was from a box. I do know what soul food is as…read moreI was born and bred in the birthplace of soul food...Mississippi. I have eaten at a LOT of soul food restaurants and this was the first time I received a box cake. I ordered baked chicken...bland but for the salty grayish white gravy that was poured over it. I also had the cabbage....zero thermal heat and the yams...sweet but not complex. The cornbread was room temperature and hard. The tea was syrupy sweet with very little tea flavor. This place was a huge disappointment. The only bonus is the portion size of the sides. Other than that, there were no pros. As the owner uncovered the sauce less pigs' feet, the dry neck bones and the heatless macaroni goulash, I apparently was rude because of my facial expression, I.e. I was shocked and fairly disgusted by the lackluster food appearance. I've never seen neck bones that aren't in their juices or pigs feet either!!!! Alas, my dear hubby is an eternal optimist and didn't want to be rude. So I went along and ordered, but barely picked at the baked chicken. The owner lectured me on my rudeness and how much I had to learn about life and how to talk and deal with people. I pointed out that I was an attorney and I deal with people all the time. However she raised her voice and told me about all FIVE of her degrees in engineering, business administration, etc. and who my law degree didn't mean anything to her. Lol... Looking back, I am sure her feelings were hurt as a result of my shock and disgust. Well, if the food was hot and actually flavorful (as true soul food is), there would be no reason to look shocked and disgusted. There is no excuse for a gravy that is salty and poured over just about every dish. If you are taking the money of the hard working people in that neighborhood, shouldn't you provide quality food? Not to mention it is fairly inexpensive commodity dishes that are being served! If your serving table is defective, care enough about your product and get another one that ensures the food is actually HOT! The food was of poor quality. The owner was rude and confrontational. I would not recommend this place.
