I feel like I have to give this place 5 stars. The food is 4 to 4.5 (so far) but the fact that it's…read moretiny, local, family run, everything made from scratch just pushes it up that extra notch. Chicken fried chicken was juicy and properly seasoned and the best we'd ever had. Ditto for the green beans and the okra. She wouldn't tell us what she puts in the green beans, but it's some combination of bacon grease and magic, I swear. The okra was fresh cut, fresh battered, fresh fried, unlike every other place I get it where you can tell it's out of a bag. Hot water cornbread was ah-mazing. I only wish I had honey to slather on it along with the butter. White gravy was fantastic, with just a hint of sweetness we couldn't quite put our finger on. Chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes were delicious, but also the only things I can say were on par with some of our other favorites. Prices are extremely reasonable. And the service is as down home and personal as you would expect at a place like Sylvia Mae's. But don't expect quick delivery of your food. Everything is made to order and it takes time, so settle in and be patient. We will definitely return here as often as we can when we are in the area.

Occasionally you stumble upon something truly special. This unassuming small business is exactly…read morewhat you want it to be. It is a meeting place, a comfort zone, a haven of good nature and community. The food is simple and good. The person providing the food is honest and real. This establishment is a lifeline of stability in an otherwise downtrodden neighborhood. THIS is the reason we have yelp...to discover and highlight businesses that actually deserve recognition. Sylvia Mae's is all of these things and more. Go visit...manage expectations and enjoy the moment. There aren't many places like this left.

It's a local diner like old time local diners. The food was excellent! They had a buffet, that had…read moreplenty of variety on the bar, but we are off the menu. Chicken fried steak And party wings. The chicken fried steak was hand breaded and delicious. The onion rings were so good, and French fries were batter fries, hot and the grease was fresh. The buffalo wings were dripping with sauce that was hot enough but not too hot. The meal was inexpensive , filling, fresh and hot. We'll stop here again if we pass through Trinity!

Wow!!! This place is outstanding. We tried to go almost a year ago but they had a private party…read morethat night. Tonight we got our chance. Holy smokes it was fantastic. We started with the Cajun sampler and the Cajun fries were on point. I got the crawfish boil I ordered 3 pounds and it was probably closer to 5 pounds and it was as good as any I have had. My wife got the shrimp boil and it was "1 pound" realistically it was closer to 2. My sons got a fish dinner and a shrimp dinner and it was great according to them. The green beans were real food. Not just dumped from a can with a little bit of salt, but real southern cooking. All of that food for less than $100 before tip. Teller only downside was they were out of boudin balls so I guess we will have to come back again!!!

Well I understand Remnant of Nawlins has been around for a while, but I just found them hidden away…read moreon Groesbeck St in Bryan. I do love my Cajun cookin', so I decided to give them a go. The restaurant looks almost like a converted house from the outside, but nicely kept with parking around the side. The interior is simple but upbeat in its New Orleans decor. The owner cheerfully met us at the door and invited us to sit wherever we wanted. She was hajppy, helpful and patient throughout the visit. We ordered all of our favorites to try; gumbo, etouffee, catfish, shrimp, dirty rice. While I have had better crawfish etoufee, the shrimp and catfish were king! The fish was mild, cut in a thick filet and perfectly seasoned and cooked. The shrimp was also perfect and very pleasing. It was all served with a grilled piece of bread that went well with the meal. It's good to have these folks in Bryan. I would definitely dine at Remnant of Nawlins again.

They warm up the table with this amazing cornbread & hot rolls Today I had the fried catfish with fries and coleslaw. It was deliciously light & flaky but so filling I only ate 1 filet. The coleslaw was the best I've ever had! Ever! And I don't normally eat/like hush puppies but I always try and thumbs up; different from what I've tried in years past. My husband had the chicken fried steak with okra & mashed potatoes which I got a 'it was good' response which really means... he ate all of it with no complaints. Lol very rare to get a 'fantastic' or 'delicious' outta him. There are no booths, which is my preferred dining experience but we're not here for the comfort! The table was a little wobbly but I didn't care, I love staring at the pie shelf while dining! Nicely country style decorum. Great food delivered quickly with a smile! prices are inline with the quality/quantity! Thank you! Happy New Year!

Finally we had banana pie and coconut pie as dessert. I know we ordered lots of fried food and it was good. The pies were not good. The banana was all brown and the coconut time was so thick and not good at all. I will go back if I visited the town again

The greens were the best I've EVER had. The mac and cheese was fantastic (creamy and just the perfect amount of cheesy). The ribs just fell off the bone. Seriously, I think I could have just yelled at it and scared it off... Sausage.... It was spiritual. And the brisket. Just the right amount of smoke and you can cut it with a plastic spoon. Seriously. And the ladies manning the counter. They are amazing and just make you smile. If you're in the College Station area, do yourself a favor and stop by.

I literally just chose the Apple map option to add a stop and this was the closest place en route. God clearly was looking down on us at that time. Today was the first day to reopen the dining rooms and oh my god. Black owned, soul food, southern food, straight glee in my mouth the entire meal. I got the Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes, and MacNCheese. Wife got the Smother Porkchops, Yams, and Green Beans. Plates were cleaned.

BBQ with soul food flare…read more Service and atmosphere: Staff were polite and helpful. The place is easy to miss as it has no obvious sign with the name. The restaurant was old looking but it was clean so "risk it for the brisket" haha. Food: We made it before closing time. There were no customers any more and only brisket and catfish was leftover. The brisket was good. Same goes for coleslaw and potato salad. Nice flavours and homely style cooking. The BBQ sauce wasn't your typical sweet and thick sauce, instead the sauce was more runny and had interesting vinagre taste. We enjoyed it. Pricing: $$ - not pricey at all.
