Mom took me to Old Hickory Inn BBQ during our Houston trip, and while I can't officially confirm…read morewhether dogs are allowed, I can confirm one very important thing: The barbecue was excellent. I stayed tucked away in my carrier the entire visit while Mom ordered at the counter. This is a casual spot where you order first and then either take your food to go or grab a table. We ordered takeout but stayed long enough to enjoy our meal inside. Mom got the pork ribs and brisket, plus a baked potato, mashed potatoes, beans, and fried okra. Everything smelled amazing. Naturally, I volunteered to help with quality control and was rewarded with a few samples of the meat. The brisket was particularly noteworthy. The restaurant doesn't have outdoor seating, so I would recommend calling ahead if you're traveling with a dog and want to verify their pet policy. Everyone was friendly during our visit, but I don't want to accidentally get another pup in trouble. If you're looking for delicious Texas barbecue in Houston, this place is definitely worth a stop. Dogba's verdict: The carrier was acceptable. The brisket was exceptional.

Moved it from his mouth when he saw me look at him. Ambiance? When I was there, maybe 1 other customer and very quiet. Wondered why parking lot was so empty. Maybe cause food prices were high and they also apparently charge you extra for paying with Card. Which is not mentioned anywhere or at any point but on the receipt before you pay. Wouldn't recommend.

Let me tell you--the Philly was EVERYTHING! Tender, super cheesy, and that bread? So soft it literally melted in your mouth. No dry bites over here! The wings were crispy and well-seasoned--just how I like them. Lemon pepper done right! Everything was fresh, hot, and hit the spot. I think I found me a new favorite...definitely coming back for more!

I ordered the catfish fillets, wings, and fries, and the young lady at the window suggested trying the lemon pepper salt/seasoning. I'm so glad I took her advice--it added the perfect kick to the meal. The customer service was phenomenal--genuine, friendly, and helpful. Even though I didn't go inside, the location looked very clean and well-kept, and the vibe around the place was really nice. The food was super fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. You can taste the quality in every bite. I truly enjoyed my meal from start to finish. This won't be a one-time stop--I'll definitely be back, and I can already see myself making this a regular spot. Highly recommend giving them a try if you haven't yet!

How long it has been here, and why the name change, other than maybe the place is no longer tied to the KC's over on Telephone, I do not know. The menu is pretty much the same, just a bit higher prices than 5 years ago. I come here for the very good Burgers & Fries and, as I think most people do, consider the place more "Take-out" than "Eat In", since there are only 2 tables in a small space. Quick and friendly service, good food of various types, at decent prices, with a clean dine-in and ordering area, means they compete well with the big boys, down the street to the east and west of their corner. It is located at the west end of a very dodgy strip mall whose owner can't be bothered to update the street-side billboard to accurately reflect all the businesses there, and you need to be aware of the neighborhood dealers, addicts, drunks and jobless that sometimes hang around, not to mention the ever changing small homeless population behind the center at Corporate, and under nearby Beltway 8. 2 Metro Buses come by here, and there are more, depending on how far you want to walk. to work off calories, before, or after your meal.

If you're craving real Southern comfort food, Mikki's is definitely worth a visit. We stopped in on…read morea busy day, and the line was almost out the door, which is always a good sign. Even with the crowd, the line kept moving, and there was no shortage of delicious-looking options on the steam table. From fried chicken and turkey wings to baked fish, spaghetti, cabbage, green beans, mac and cheese, dressing, black-eyed peas, collard greens, candied yams, mashed potatoes, and more, it was hard to decide what to order because everything looked homemade. I ordered the turkey wing with collard greens, black-eyed peas, mashed potatoes with gravy, rice, a corn muffin, and sweet potatoes. I also grabbed a Suicide Punch, which is a mix of all their Kool-Aid flavors. First, let's talk about those sweet potatoes... BABY!! They absolutely stole the show. They were piping hot, buttery, perfectly sweet, and hands down the best thing on my plate. I could've easily eaten another serving. The collard greens were seasoned beautifully with a rich, smoky flavor and plenty of pot liquor. They were tender without being mushy and tasted like they had been cooking all day. The black-eyed peas were creamy, well-seasoned, and comforting, while the mashed potatoes were smooth and paired perfectly with the savory gravy. The rice soaked up every bit of that gravy, and the corn muffin was soft with just the right touch of sweetness. The turkey wing itself was tender, juicy, and covered in flavorful gravy. My only surprise was that I was expecting just the wing portion, but instead I received the whole wing with the drum attached. It wasn't a big deal because it was still delicious--I just personally prefer getting only the wing. The Suicide Punch was another winner. If you grew up drinking Kool-Aid, you'll appreciate it. It's sweet, refreshing, and a fun mix of all the flavors. My family ordered several other dishes, so we got to try quite a variety. We had baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, candied yams, and black-eyed peas, and everything was generously portioned. The baked chicken was moist and well-seasoned, and the mac and cheese had that creamy, homemade taste you hope for from a soul food restaurant. My only real complaint was that some of the food was served lukewarm instead of hot, which took away from the experience a little. Soul food just hits differently when it's fresh and piping hot. Ironically, the sweet potatoes were the one item that came out nice and hot, and they were absolutely perfect. Overall, Mikki's serves authentic soul food with generous portions and flavors that remind you of Sunday dinner at a family member's house. The food is comforting, the selection is impressive, and it's easy to see why the place stays busy. If everything had been served hot, this would've easily been a five-star experience. Pro tip: Don't leave without getting the sweet potatoes and a Suicide Punch. Trust me--you'll thank me later. sweet potatoes and a Suicide Punch free refills. Trust me--you'll thank me later.
