Alright so listen here food community, this is THEE spot, yes - a MUST go to when in Houston. The…read moremenu, service and food is impressive and I had the PRIVILEGE to meet one of the co-owners. What luck!?!? Much respect to the owners and chefs for not skimping out on portion sizes - by no means were these "salad" shrimp - those bad boys were HUGE...and the fish?!? WHEW!!! Let me tell you...those hard earned "no one wants to admit we're in a recession" dollars - your wallet will be respected as each bite is beyond worth it! Ambiance/Decor was so well thought of - a true ode to the Black & Houston's 3rd Ward's culturally rich communities. Going back is an absolute must and I would highly suggest sampling your way around the menu. As a frequent traveller - I'll certainly be back but only one question remains...When will we get a location in the DMV area?!? You guys will CRUSH it!!!

Visited this place the other day with my cousins and the food was good! Here are the deets:…read more Pros: --Food was served pretty quickly and came out hit --the included extra sauce for free, so that I could taste a different flavor than what comes with the empanadas --the inside and outside areas are nice and clean for sitting and enjoying your meal --the jalepeno poppers were really good! And unlike most, they actually had some kick to them, AND you can tell that they use a quality bacon--not that cheap crap. (I'm an HEB brands connoisseur and I think it's HEB thick cut bacon. LOL!) --I snuck a piece of fish off of my cousin's plate, and it was sooooooo good. So, I'm looking to try that next time that the gates sauce. YOU MUST GET THE GATES SAUCE!!!!! --Nice touch with the flosspick they provide! Cons: --If you eat outside, you have to deal with the smokers, and the tons of uber eats and doordash drivers. --The kiosk doesn't list all of their items, so you're better off using their app. (Hopefully the location's management takes care of this, bc I find using the kiosk to be more convenient, and my phone's battery is always low.) Overall: The food was good, and I plan to come back.

Went On a Sunday.... The space was pretty busy as expected on a Sunday it was a line. But it…read morewould imove pretty fast it's cafeteria style so you order and they create your plate in front of you. I tried the soul bowl with beef tips on top jalapeño cornbread on the bottom. It comes with, yam mac & cheese and greens I swapped my yams out for another vegetable. I also had a baked chicken with stuffing underneath. Cheesy broccoli, rice, and cabbage. Everything was really good the grape kool aid was solid. They also had cakes and cookies. I didn't get any but they look good. Really big portions and reasonably priced as well. I like this place. This is some of the best soul food I've had since I've been Houston

I tried Mikki's Soul Food at Chase's Summer Social downtown. I came down from the office about 90…read moreminutes into the event and there were multiple food trucks and vendors set up. They were pretty nonchalant at this truck. They answered questions when asked but for the most part were on their phones and not very engaged. I really wanted the seafood lady but she was out of catfish. So I ended up going back to Mikki's since there wasn't a line. When I ordered, it was a quick exchange. My token was taken and I was immediately handed a beef soul food bowl without either of them getting up. Womp... The food itself was okay but it wasn't hot, which definitely affected the experience. Came with beef tips, greens, mac and yams in a little bowl. Again not bad tasting and only slightly warm. I'll remember that next time I see the truck. I'll probably want to try something different anyway but just saying....go early or get cold.

I came here for the first time on a Saturday afternoon…read more The owner Ericka explained it was there soft opening. As they had just moved from Bourban Sizzler @ 2114 Holly Hall to two doors down to Irie Sizzler @ 2122 Holly Hall. But it's the same owners. Designed with fun Jamaican decor. Service - Ericka the owner/server was great. She chatted with us, was friendly. Provided good service. There was a DJ spinning some great tunes, for there soft opening. Food - I ordered the oxtail combo $29.49, which comes with rice/peas and cabbage and 2 plantains. With the combo you are allowed one additional meat of jerk chicken or stewed chicken, or curry goat (I think). The food was tasty. Plan to visit again. She also offered chicken soup, which was yum, great on the cool day. Drinks - I asked Ericka if they sold adult bevy's, as I had seen on the Bourban Sizzler Yelp page. She said no, but they had some carribean soft drinks and juices. I got the pineapple & Guava, expectedly sweet, but not overbearing. Wishing this black owned business much succes.

So I recently started to order food from this restaurant through door dash. I went there back…read more2013- 2015 I'm not sure how many times management or chefs has changed there but its going down personally. I ordered my favorite oxtail diner combination with stew chicken or sometimes just oxtail. The oxtail are tasty but too small and too much oil left in the gravy. They are cutting the oxtails in half leaving a lot of fragmented bones in the gravy Try to drain off some of your oil before put in those carrots Secondly! The servings are abit small especially with the oxtail combination. The rice and peas are slim. The carrot and cabbage veggie is not bad just drain thd water off . Last! My deliveries have now started coming in a very cheap stryfoam containers. The last order has gravy all over the bag and the cover partially broken. Please! If you are using this brand of containers use some scotch tape to hold the container together and double bag to make secure. I would eat your food again but just asking to make some adjustments to those few areas I mentioned. Thanks

Marty, Marty, Marty.... By some awesome quirk of fate, my…read morefriend John and I happened past this quaint little Diner in downtown Houston on our way to a meeting. Just before closing, we had the place to ourselves and got to shoot the S with the owner who gave us its very cool history. 38 years in, and a few miles on his ledger, Marty still cranks out some fabulous food! The place was like walking into the 50's, with the old school metal tables and ample linoleum. I LOVE Louisiana cooking, and it couldn't have been more authentic. The only problem I had with my shrimp gumbo is the bowl was too small (actually a filling portion) and loaded with succulent, tender shrimp. Yummmmm! The cornbread was sublime and dipping it in the gumbo was killer! John had a Po Boy and said it was heavenly. The fries were obviously fresh cut and perfect. We finished with the bread pudding as we are both connoisseurs, and boy did it not disappoint. Thank You for yet another 5 star experience and a return visit will be on the horizon! Cheers, JimG

Their shrimp basket- definitely use the table seasoning (the orange one is the cajun one) to give the fries a kick and flavor but the shrimp doesn't need it! It's sooo tasty and complex kinds of savory. Also not super heavy nor greasy. The catfish is also yum, cornmeal kind of batter. I'd rec the hot sauce for it. Love the crisp and how it's fried to perfection. Fried chicken was devoured by husband in 3 minutes. The guy at the counter was cool and friendly and loved his vibe. It's In a neat part of town where you can watch htown traffic go by or watch the rain pour. I ended my Yelp review absence streak just to post this review. It's awesome!

I wasn't quite sure what to order; both the shrimp poboy and shrimp basket sounded appetizing, but I asked the gentleman working and they suggested the shrimp basket. It was $12.99 after tax. Normally they give you a handheld buzzer that lets you know when your food is ready, but they sent me a text message instead seeing that I'm at work. My food was ready in no time and it was hot and fresh. The shrimp basket comes with 6 shrimp and fries with seasoning. The shrimp was delicious! Very crispy and juicy. The fries were hot with the perfect amount of seasoning. It was so good I didn't even stop to try the sauce on the side lol. Overall, I had a great experience with Krazy Kreole. They were polite, professional and the food was great! Hopefully my job can get them to come back, but if not I'll definitely stop by next time in the downtown area! It looks like they had a modified menu so I'm excited to try some of the other items!
