    Service was excellent…read more Ambiance--usual diner feel Food: Ox tails delicious--tad too spicy but I enjoyed every bite! Rice & gravy gummy with no seasoning! Cabbage was good--greens very spicy! Gave to my sister who rated 9 out of 10 would recommend. Cornbread was like hard day old bread and went into the trash! Bbq platter: BIL loved his plate! Said potato salad was meh but all else good! Hotlinks, ribs, and beans! Sister got fried chicken and added mac&cheese along with yams! Chicken was fresh but not seasoned much! Mac&cheese good for diner menu option, and yams were okay she said! Greasy spoon Mac is better IMO but Granny's oxtails the best I've had here in H-town! Although spicy/hot food is not my favorite I did enjoy them If the cornbread were softer & sweeter I think the rating would be 4! Would I go back? Hmm! Yea for the tails of course! I saw they have catfish & black eyed peas so I may try those next time as well! Overall 3.5 but can't do half stars By default I left it at 4

    We came to Granny Dee's and my goodness, this food is made with love! I'm not originally from here…read morebut it tastes like my great-grandmother made it herself. So soulful, so delicious. Everything was seasoned to perfection! The service was also professional, a huge plus. From the moment you walk in, it gives a homey feeling/atmosphere. There's plenty of seating and it's pretty spacious. They also have a huge menu, everything sounds delicious. Anytime we're in the mood for soul food or some real homestyle-like cooking - we'll be at Granny Dee's for sure!

    We have probably past this place 1000 times and never stopped but today was the day!!!…read more Our waitress Theresa was amazing, he kindness, knowledge of the menu and even upselling upcoming specials was so sweet and non invasive. The food was also amazing. We had the fried pork steak and chicken fried steak with Mac-n-cheese, mashed potatoes, loaded potatoes, and fried okra... all for 29.99 including the drinks. It gets no better than this. Oh and I heard that Wednesdays is all you can eat catfish so you know I am coming back! The restaurant itself was peaceful and had a Saturday morning in the country feel!!!

    We love this place, it's just not close enough for us to enjoy as much as we should. This is a…read moreclassic family / old folks restaurant, which we are officially designated as. Daily specials of classic comfort foods, fried catfish, pork chops, barbecue, burgers, rolls (with margarine, I didn't know even know that was still a thing, isn't it bad for us ?) Banana pudding, peach cobbler, which is one of the best cobblers I've ever had. Red and white checkered vinyl tablecloths and booths that have seen a lot of action, this place is unchanged for who knows how long. Okay, as an Italian that loves to cook, I will say this place is catering to its older generation and overly cautious about its use of seasoning., and their paper cost. (We've asked for napkins 3 times now) I don't think they even salt the water for the potatoes or macaroni because both of these sides are blah. The black eyes peas were creamy and good ( and yes, I had to add salt to these too, but thats a given) once I got the salt right, I loved them. The portions were big enough of the fried catfish and the sliced beef that we could have shared one of those entrees, but we both wanted something different. Overall, great place, definitely recommend.
