OMG Baked Potatoes was visiting The Ballard House in Katy, and provided food for the large group of Sam's Club employees volunteering, all The Ballard House staff, as well as all the residents at The Ballard House. The choices were many - from brisket to seafood to surf & turf baked potatoes. I opted for the seafood version, and it was absolutely delicious! Enough to feed 2 people per serving. Several others I spoke to afterward said much the same about their choices. OMG Baked Potatoes was most definitely a hit. Thank you for your generosity and hospitality in support of The Ballard House. It was greatly appreciated. read more

Very friendly owners, lively music and cute food truck. I ordered the barbecue brisket potato. It could've just been an off day for them but my potato was so overcooked it was more like a mashed potato. Also it did not come with "the works", like most of the brisket potatoes I've had, it was only brisket and sauce. read more

*Black owned food truck* We were going for something new and different, and we attempted another spot like theirs, but they weren't serving certain things and were out of other things, and I suggested we try them instead! I'm so glad I did, too. The owner was there taking orders, and he was the friendliest man ever. He gave suggestions of his menu faves, and he gave us advice on our new business endeavors out in Houston. He was really a nice man! We got 3 different options 2 baked potatoes and 1 pasta dish. OMG, IT WAS GOOD!!!! They didn't skrimp on items, and everything was hot, fresh, and seasoned well. He has a pretty extensive menu for a food truck. I would definitely return! read more

My family and I love OMG Baked Poatatoes! We have been rocking with them for some years now. I follow them on Instagram and pop up on their food truck when they are in the missouri city area. Their service is A+. They are always super friendly and have your food ready in 20 minutes tops. I always get the steak and shrimp potato but today my husband and I got the surf and turf. The food is sooo good and seasoned to perfection. You get soo much food you can definitely eat it for lunch and save the other half for later. If you want to find them follow then on ig and you can't miss their nice OMG truck...the design is eye catching and draws you right over to get your belly full. read more

First let's start with the ambiance. I went to the food truck location outside of target. It's Texas, it's September, it's hot. Not much they can do about that. Mad respect to them cooking in this heat lol. Service was great. The owners are helpful when taking your order, offering recommendations, etc.. not much else they could do. The food was good. My potato was banging. I had the OMG 4 and it was stacked. Very nice flavor. The only meat I wasn't a huge fan of was the rib, but everyone has their preferred rub/taste. My chicken also was not hot, nothing a microwave couldn't fix. Overall, still delicious 4/5 My sister had the seafood bake, and for some reason her food wasn't piping either. Warm but not hot. Also I think for the price of the plate, I don't know if I love tilapia being the choice of meat on top. The shrimp, crawfish, broccoli etc was fine! We'd give this one a 3.5/5. We're coming back. They were out of the oxtail potato and that's the one I'm itching to try. read more

OMG, this is exactly what you say when you go to the OMG baked potato food truck. Pile on the meat so so good. The OMG baked potato food truck I found them on Hillcroft at the beltway in the Home Depot Center, Friday Saturday and Sunday they there. and you know what to get oxtail, hallelujah, four meat baked potato. I guess it would've been bad if I would've wrote this review while eating the baked potato. And customer service just wonderful. Very nice personality. read more

Filled with broccoli and cheese, this potato is not for the weak, and I know because it took me three days to eat it. I had to share with my cousin and I was still full to capacity and my appetite was satisfied. I need to try the Lord Have Mercy next time!

The food is EXCELLENT, but I would not suggest doing business with them. On 2 occasions, they dipped out of the events due to another company (food) showing up on site, which was not under anyone's control or was it discussed when hired. Never did we see a bill of sale so that we could be compensated as the deal we agreed on. It happened one time and we decided, because the food was so good, to give them a second chance, and they made their quota and left the event. I love the food but I really don't like bad business deals. Sorry NOT sorry read more

Apparently I needed to follow the OMG Baked Potatoes on Instagram to know their location. When arrived I was met with a warm smile and some suggestions on what to try. The prices clearly have changed because the bill was $50 for two potatoes that only have chicken and sausage on them. The flavor and seasoning was decent. However the container was filled with boiled potatoes, no actual potato stuffed to the rim. So the texture resembled soggy boiled potatoes that had no butter or salt. While I appreciate the hard work they have put into their food, it simply wasn't for me. read more

Happen to be in this area the other day and had a craving for a loaded potato (random, I know). So I originally planned to go to this other business, but I got on Yelp to pull up directions and OMG popped up. I was immediately drawn in by all the yummy pictures! Until that day, I had never heard of or seen this food truck, so I had to try. Considering I was less 5 minutes away made the decision even easier. They did not disappoint, I ordered the chicken broccoli potato and added shrimp. My total was roughly $17, which I wasn't too pleased about, but amount they serve is pretty filling. Very very flavourful. My dish was heavy on the garlic, so if your not a garlic fan, you may want to choose something else. When I arrived there was not a long wait and those that were waiting, did so in their cars. Check this place out! I plan to return. read more

**On the weekends, they're located at the Houston Grub Park near NRG Stadium!** Worth all the hype that you see on this Yelp page!! My friend and I took a little trek from Southwest Houston just to experience this on a Saturday. We mistakenly went to their address listed on google at first, but then I messaged them on Instagram and they were quick to respond with the Houston Grub Park address. We got there early and were the first ones in line! Wish I could've tried more on the menu, but our hearts called out to the Lord Have Mercy Potato (I believe it has a bit of everything - crawfish, sausage, chicken, steak, bacon wrapped shrimp on top!) and it was worth every single bite!! The staff is incredibly kind and will answer any questions you have. They take all forms of payment, even mobile payment methods! I will be back soon :) read more

Came here for the first time on 10/9 and I'm impressed. This place is a gem. The customer service was top notch, definitely a southern vibe. Not to mention, black owned! The wait time was a little long, but nothing extreme. I know they was in there whipping it up lol so by all means, take ya time. The parking is a little different so they'll have you park across from the truck so they can wave at you when it's ready. Oh, and they accept debit/credit cards! Definitely recommend and will spend my dollars here any day. read more

I'm going to give you an honest, no BS opinion here, based upon my reflections and observations. The restaurant occupies a large space, that at one time housed a piano bar; they've kept the performance stage, in the back of the dining space. I'm not sure if they use it or not. They serve cafeteria style, so you can save a bit on tips. I initially thought that the prices were a little stiff, at least for daily dining. At $18 a meal, its not in my affordable daily dining range, which typically tops at about $10. That is, until you see the serving size. My gods, it was enormous! My wife and I had plenty for the two of us, and took home enough for a third meal! Given that, it came down to about $6 a meal, which is a steal! So I want to commend them for great value! The food was displayed behind glass (thank you) on a steam table. Most of it looked really good. We were there around 6:30pm on a Saturday, and the meatloaf looked a bit dried out. The ribs looked kinda sparse--they were obviously what were left. We ordered the delicious-looking smothered pork chops, yams, mashed potatoes, and mac'n cheese. These turned out to be tremendously yummy, and they came with a couple pieces of cornbread, to boot. TIISF thoughtfully places to-go containers and bags in the dining area, making it unnecessary to return to the serving line to get them. A final note: the young man behind the counter serving up the food was very pleasant and personable, and even threw in an extra pork chop (I hope that does not get him into trouble...it truly served to cement a good impression I had of the place.) Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 3 stars I recommend all of my Humble, Kingwood, Spring, and Atascocita neighbors give this place a try...you will not be sorry.

I got the fried chicken, green beans, cabbage, and they're apparently award winning mac and cheese. The only thing I would eat again was the chicken which even then seemed unevenly seasoned between pieces. The cabbage was overwhelmingly garlicky whereas the green beans had no flavor. The Mac and cheese was soupy and seemed like I was jipped of the portion. Overall will not be back or catering

The Greasy Spoon

We hit the jackpot!…read more I was hungry and looking for tasty food on our way home. I took a chance on The Greasy Spoon and what luck. This place is GREAT. We just went with the food that was ready to go. And even went back for an extra side--Mac n' cheese for my son. Whew! Lots of food, and it's all sooooo good! In addition to the mac n' cheese, we tried the chicken gumbo, chicken with sweet potatoes (they're sweet) and greens (so tasty!), chopped steak with green beans and mashed potatoes. I will most certainly be back!

Really enjoyed the sides, chicken was crispy and fried to perfection, everyone calls in their order…read moresides are usually already ready most of the meat is cook to order DONT BE THAT PERSON!!!- have patience.

For appetizers we did the scallops (which is served with succotash), chili biscuits, jalapeño poppers w brisket. The chili biscuits are very small and kind of like a flaky croissant pinwheel. They were really good. I got the oxtail tamales for my entree. The best dish was server recommended, blackened catfish and add shrimp. The service was friendly and drinks were good. I would recommend dining here.

Would give it more than 5 stars if I could! First time here and knew it was gonna be a long line…read moresince it's so popular. But, then the worker, Terry, came and informed the back of the line that their sister cafe is open for us to eat at if we wanted specific food items (they only had some). It was perfect tho since we wanted the wings and waffles. Honestly love the self service as it makes things easier and relieves stress off the workers. Soon after we got our food, one worker came and offered us free grits and potatoes to try something other than wings and waffles it was incredibly delicious and we were so grateful. We were there a WHILLEE just yapping and celebrating 2 of our bdays. Terry came up and started talking to us and surprised us with a birthday treat! Ughh it was so yummy! Portions are big so I was able to take the rest home and it was still delicious heating it up the next day. Definitely coming again! Maybe on a weekday when it's less busy

I walked in and no one greeted me. The space was very hot, as if there were no air conditioning,…read moreand the workers were visibly sweating, hence the help-wanted sign posted in front of the establishment. The restaurant had a stale smell, and the oxtails were overpriced. I began to place an order but quickly changed my mind and left because the environment felt unsettling. I was concerned that I might get sick if I ordered food there. Additionally, the ceiling had visible spots that appeared to be moisture damage or possible mold, which is not a good look. Due to concerns about cleanliness and food safety, I would not recommend dining at this restaurant.

Customer service is horrible the Mac n cheese the worst I ever ate! Greens canned the beans canned…read more The oxtails were old and tough. The only reason I went because the line at Farmer's market was too long. Over all the food is trash and over priced. I will never go back;

1 oxtail cut down at least 4 times.

They overcharged me and then argued with me when I immediately told them that l was charged twice!

Wife had the gumbo which was amazing and, contrary to what others are saying about the okra making it slimey, was not the case at all. word to the wise, if you love alot of rice, maybe order a little more on the side.....but it was amazing! I had to go with the chicken & waffles because why not! And, was not disappointed at all. It was so much that I had it for lunch at work the next day! Everything has an extremely solid flavor and will definitely be coming back even if it is way out of our way! we honestly felt like both dishes could have come from one of those hole in the wall establishment in the French Quarter. One negative was definitely the floors.....very sticky guys - Please address this honestly bad issue! The waitstaff are very knowledgeable and friendly to be sure!

This was my third visiting and my last. The wait today wasn't more than 45 minutes. I do recall the…read moregnats previously but it seems to be a out of control issue, even ROACHES. A small one crawling on the wall near our table and someone from my party saw a larger one crawling near the kitchen. And boy was it stuffy in there. I asked our waitress if she could move a floor fan near for some relief and to detour the gnats, she said she go ask but she never came back and when she did she completely forgot my request. We weren't seated in the greater eating area where it was cooler and maybe where the gnats were less of a bother. The food was delicious and homemade, you can tell it was made with high quality ingredients and that Southern skill that you can only get from helping Grandma in the kitchen. BUT the roaches made us lose our appetite. Such a shame. It seemed like the building went down. They don't seem to put as much effort into the condition of that place as they do the food. Dusty ceiling fans and crummy floors. I appreciate the homey vibe but it looked really junky, more stuff piled in unoccupied corners as before. I gave a lot of things the side eye, I mean it there has to be maintained asthetic. They charged an 18% gratuity on my tab for a party of 8 but I arrived with 4 people, the other 4 had already been there, paid and was almost done with their meal. Then of course the cashier/waitress still mentioned an additional, optional tip. I didn't think that was fair. At the end of it all she wasn't the best waitress.

The place is always immaculate and clean. Everything is in order and most of all, the Star of the show is always consistent, their cornbread dressing. That's the go to dish and the only thing I ordered because it reminds me so much of grandma's. Again, if you are looking for Soulful in South Houston, don't hesitate to drop in.

I ordered the turkey wings which came with rice & 2sides with cornbread. I got the black eyed peas & greens with no meat in my greens. The standout for me were the black eyed peas. They were excellent. Everything else was just ok. I liked that everything wasn't overly salty. It just lacked that extra kick. The serving sizes were pretty good & I have plenty leftovers. I would be back again to try another dish because I feel for soul food this was pretty healthy because it was overly salty.
