I ordered catfish and shrimp platter and shrimp and crawfish. Was super excited to try this food. It was piping hot and so hot it burned a hole in the container. The food was battered in cornmeal which is good but was either cooked in old oil or cooked way too long. The first and shrimp were both severely overcooked. The food was still hot when I got home so it was freshly fried.

Sweet beautiful flavor, non alcohol. Huge size, beautiful color! I ordered the crawfish grilled cheese. It was very cheesy, more cheesy than expected. The didn't skimp out on the crawfish either which I appreciated. I didn't really care for the toasted bread and fries texture. It was a bit soften and moist from the steamed. I do believe it could've been perfection. I greatly appreciate they remade the fries and offered me another pineapple mango strawberry drink which is my favorite!

Both amazing places btw but we decided to try something a little closer. The Location was hard to find with the black out windows and plastic banner outside. When you get inside the food in the pans were scarce and employees has no intentions on being out more. The chafers had no lid coverings for the food. We ordered turkey necks collards and yams with side of Mac n cheese Turkey wing with dressing and yams with side of Mac n cheese A kids chicken wings rice and Mac n cheese (they do not have tenders even though it's on the menu) Strawberry cake Peach cobbler Total was 78.43 Oh and was not made aware that we had to wait 25 mins for the peach cobbler. Now once the food made it home we warmed it up bc it was a 15 mins drive home. The turkey necks definitely wasn't cleaned before being cooked they had an awful taste to them. I removed them from the bed of rice and the sauce from the turkey necks had the rice tasting the same. SMH Mac and cheese was disgusting! I can't believe people actually enjoy cream of chicken in their Mac n cheese! Collards and yams were the only things that were pleasant enough to eat IMO. The chicken wings from the kids order were rubbery and slightly pink inside. My son didn't eat anything from his plate. The turkey wings were fatty and lacked seasoning, still had the taste like the turkey necks as if they were not cleaned properly before cooking. Stuffing was dry and this could be due to no lids covering food. Food workers did not have gloves on for hair nets. Update: I called the restaurant to speak to Tracy the manager and was told there had not been any complaints that day regarding the food! Were asked questions like did we still have the food? How was the customer service but no solution to the problem. I even offered to bring the food back in order to receive a refund. She told me that I couldn't receive a refund but they would make another plate for us. My question is: if I didn't enjoy how the food tastes what makes you think I want another plate of food?? I informed her that I would reach out to my bank and file a dispute which I is what I did. Horrible FOOD HORRIBLE SERVICE HORRIBLE OWNER. 0 out of 10!

Food: they have quite extensive menu and I wasn't sure what to get but when I saw beef tips on the menu, that's what I had to go with. The beef tips over white rice were extremely flavorful and simply amazing. I love the fact that you can get spaghetti as a side. How cool is that. Also the mac & cheese was so cheesy and full of flavor. The cornbread was simply amazing. It was like a mini cake. I could've eaten two or three slices of that cornbread with no problem. The customer service is great. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by friendly, nice people that work there. Everyone is welcoming and will help you with the menu and everything like that. The portion size is unreal. Seriously, two or three people can eat off of one plate. No doubt about it you can seriously come in with two people minimum and share one plate. Possibly3. I felt like I walked out with 3 pounds of food. They definitely don't skimp on portion sizes here which is amazing. I really like the inside seating area. The decor is great and they have tables everywhere. Next time I'm craving some good soul food. I'll definitely stop on by.

Anytime I'm in North Houston, I make it my business to stop by The Better Box. Since moving here,…read morethis has been my most consistent favorite spot--no question. And every single time, I order the exact same thing. The sampler egg rolls? Elite. The standout egg rolls? Always the crab and shrimp. This time, on my way to the airport, they were out of crab, so I went with its substitute (crawfish and shrimp) instead. Still just as good. Honestly, it's a treat for me because, yes, three egg rolls total about $21, but they're more than worth it--hearty, packed full, always fresh. And the different sauces? That's just the icing on the cake. This time around, my friend and her son ordered fries and a Philly cheesesteak. The fries? Crispy and perfectly seasoned. And the Philly? Hands down, the best rendition of a cheesesteak I've had south of Pennsylvania. I will continue to sing the praises of The Better Box. The quality is consistent. The taste is consistent. And no matter where I am in Houston, it's always worth the drive. Plus, the wait is never long! This time it only took 10 minutes to receive our food.

They still took care of me, and I finally got to try the Philly cheesesteak hot dog and the elote cup. The hot dog was honestly really good and definitely worth the trip back. Glad they handled the situation professionally. I recommend updating your hours on Google Maps. I drove out here specifically to try the hot dogs and burgers, but unfortunately you were closed when I arrived. It's currently 5 PM, and your profile shows you should have been open since 4 PM. Pretty disappointing experience, hope this gets corrected so others don't run into the same issue.
