The soul food Café is amazing. I've been here many times over several years and they have changed the place quite a bit. It is still inviting and Family run and the food is wonderful. It is obvious that many people are regulars at this establishment and are known to the staff well. This makes it feel friendly and welcoming. You order at the counter and go get your food when it is ready. My only suggestion would be that they have their iced tea ready more regularly. read more

If you're in the mood for some tasty soul food, this is your spot! Y'all's is located in a strip mall with ample parking so you don't have to stress about that. We arrived around 4pm on a Saturday and to my surprise, there wasn't a wait! We were greeted by the friendly host and seated promptly. This restaurant is decorated beautifully with New Orleans decor but make sure to bring your jacket as it is a bit chilly inside. Also, be prepared to scan a QR code for your menu. I used to love the fried ribs but it appears this was no longer a menu item so instead, I settle for the fried chicken with cabbage and yams. Each entrée is served with two sides and cornbread of which is more than enough. I have to say, this meal tasted like grandma's dinner on a Sunday evening! Hats off to the chef. read more

This place is fantastic! I honestly felt like I was transported to New Orleans. The service was friendly and attentive. First tried the gizzards, which are hit or miss at most places, but not here. They were a hit wet the table. They were actually tender and the flavor was wonderful, especially with the hot sauce. The portions are humongous. I got the fried catfish smothered with crawfish etouffee with spicy mashed potatoes and Cajun corn. Oh yeah, and great cornbread. Very satisfied with my order. Others at the table ordered oxtail, fried chicken, grilled chicken, and turkey. Everyone was happy and 4 of us took home food. I highly recommend this place. Wish I lived closer! I'll definitely be back. read more

Y'all's Down-Home Southern Cafe - Fried catfish with crawfish etouffee, mashed potatoes, corn, and cornbread - Soul Food Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Located in a strip mall restaurant near Hester's Crossing in Round Rock, Y'all has been there for the last ten years. The restaurant is a bit dark and dated. The purple padded table tops are rather unique. The menu offers southern "down home entrees". I opted for breaded and fried pork chops with yams and green bean casserole. The side were over spiced but good. The pork chops were tender and not overcooked. Service was ok. Y'all's is closing later this month so hurry over to Y'all's! read more

Came for the first time for dinner, excited based off the multiple reviews I read but unfortunately didn't have that experience myself. We ordered fried catfish with mac n cheese and collard greens, and the catfish po boy with yams. The catfish platter came with cornbread which I have to say was my favorite thing on my plate. The sides, in my opinion, lacked any strong flavor, and the catfish was fried too hard in that the batter and the fish separated from it and basically just broke down anytime I tried to cut or break a piece off. The portion size was nice in that I had a whole filet I could take for leftovers if I wanted too but overall, I was bit let down by the flavor and cook of our food. Our server wasn't bad but also didn't make any effort to add anything to the overall experience. The restroom itself is casual with Louisiana decor. read more

Upon walking up Y'alls exterior doesn't give justice to the welcoming you will receive. It's tucked away in a tight corner and a hidden gem you are missing out on. I tried the chicken wings with Mac&cheese, friend corn and cornbread. My party ordered the chicken fried steak, green beans and red beans &rice. Also the blackened catfish with green beans and Cajun corn. Most memorable aspect the chicken was pipping hot fresh. I enjoy a southern chicken wing with a good seasoning. This wing was just that and good. The Mac and cheese was not traditional to what most assume but so yummy. It has this textured crisp with a creamy flavor and Cajun seasoning (I think). I could not pinpoint the flavor that gave it that extra yumminess but honestly it's so good there's no need to. The cornbread was okay and I do think some butter with it possibly would help but not sure it sticks to their traditional menu aspect. Our service was phenomenal and I mean the kind of genuine southern service with a smile. Every time they refilled a drink or asked how we were doing it didn't feel forced but to the nature of who they are. They are small but mighty and with that remember good fresh hot pipping food takes time. Y'alls is north but worth it y'all. read more

There's not a Thanksgiving meal that hits the spot quite as much as the Sunday special at Y'all's. I had such a huge craving for it, so I was pretty bummed when I went and they didn't have it that Sunday. They said they were trying out a gumbo special on Sundays for the month. I went for the grilled catfish atchafalaya instead and wow, I was extremely satisfied with my choice. The fried cabbage never disappoints and the red beans and rice wasn't amazing but overall not a bad choice. In the past, service has left a lot to be desired, but we had such a nice and attentive waitress this time. Will give it a few weeks before I try to go again to see if they brought my turkey back. read more

Its just gets better everytime I come. So today my bae and I took his cousin to dinner and she was so excited to go because its close to her new place. Bae is in love with the cornbread croutons, Cousin is in love with these beautiful lamb chops and the unique sauce that is provided, and I'm really trying to manage my intake so I did the salad and could not finish it with my silly intermediate fasting and pulling back from fried foods however, I love the shrimp on my salad. I did have to take it home to eat for breakfast. I've actually known the owner for quite a few years due to a mutual friend. I love the fact that they give a large amount of vegetables because when you don't make greens, you can go here and order a nice serving of it. The decor and decorations reminds me of New Orleans and the spice and seasonings are mouthwatering! When I'm going from one job to the next, I always pass y'all and think about lunch. I decided to go in after we ate dinner here that week and I had to get the fried gizzards. They did not make it home. read more

I went to visit my friend in Austin and we went to Y'all's. She said really good things about this place so I was excited! The entire restaurant is New Orleans based so they have Mardi Gras type decor and a tree that apparently stays there year round (I guess that's a southern thing?) It wasn't busy when we went and we had a large party. The wait staff were super accommodating which was really helpful because sometimes large parties can be a lot to accommodate. I got the fried fish that came with a seafood type sauce on the top. It was sooo good!! The fish came with two sides so I got cabbage and mashed potatoes the sides were okay in my opinion. read more

This was a little place tucked off in the back of a strip center. The people were so friendly. They really made you feel at home. They have a Cajun/ soul food vibe and it was really good. The tables were a little close together , you couldn't help but hear other table's conversations, but fortunately we had a fun group beside that we conversed with at times. We had for an appetizer , fried cornbread croutons. It was delicious. Our table also had bourbon glazed pork chops, chicken fried steak and smothered pork chops. We left feeling full and I even split a plate and we still had food leftover. The wait staff were very friendly and if your server was not available, no worries, everyone helped each other. Please show this place some love and go by and eat. Be sure you get the fried cornbread croutons - you won't be disappointed read more

Y'all's Down-Home Southern Cafe - Bourbon glazed pork chops. Yes 2. With Creole Green Beans and Mac 'n Cheese - Soul Food Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

11/14/2024: Oh my God! Baby! Y'all's Down Home Southern Cafe was so delicious that it made my soul smile. I was greeted by Mr. Jeff and Jasmine was my waitress. Their customer service is top tier. I always say whenever you're greeted with a nice smile, everything will taste good! It didn't take long to be served after placing my order. Or maybe the time passed by fast because of the grape Kool-Aid that was made with the perfect amount of sugar. I ordered the chicken fried steak, collard greens, red beans and the double crusted peach cobbler. This is the first time that I've never had to add extra seasoning to my food. It was provided but not needed. As I type this I'm still in my car, too satisfied to drive to my destination. Every item I ordered was properly cooked and maybe they added an ounce of love it in too. I ate everything. The restaurant is cozy and has a beautiful New Orleans theme. The only thing I didn't like is I had to leave . I can't wait to dine here again. I wish they had a restaurant in my city. Thank you for the excellent food and exceptional service. God bless. read more

Ate here on a late July Saturday night and had a seriously up and down experience. Let's start with the bad: it seems that staff was completely depleted. The place was busy with a lot of diners, but the service was extremely slow, from waiting for a table, to waiting our server to put in an order, to waiting for the check. We probably spend a total of 2 hours here with just two people. Our server also told us that only one chef was working the kitchen. From the dining perspective, however, the food was delicious. My smothered bone-in pork chop was everything I wanted when I get cravings for southern food. The pork was tender and fatty, and sauce and veggies were addicting, and the sides were so good. Huge fan of their fried cabbage. Cornbread good as I remember as well. And at such a great price. Overall, I would love to come here on a regular basis, but can't justify doing so given how slow everything is. Maybe the wait would be better if you stopped by for a super early dinner ahead of the rush. Hope things get better soon. read more

Out in the area and wanted something different. WOW! Yeppers reviews were spot on about Y'all's! This was home cooking soul and spice. Portions, huge. The best sweet tea around! This is truly a family mom and pop place and local - love to support that! I was raised very southern and this IS southern. Red beans a rice good and thick and a bit of a kick. Black eyed peas, you can see the bacon! The corn bread buttery and sweet! Catfish perfectly seasoned and tartar sauce home made and perfect with the spices. Their special "gravy" not sure what it has in it but wish I could just have some yeast rolls to sop it up! We will be back! read more

I stopped in for the first time for a late lunch. Everything was great - a chill setting that wasn't too loud or too quiet. Prompt friendly service. The fried chicken pieces in the Homie salad were large and generous in number. And the lettuce was actually greens not iceberg with a few dark pieces like some other places. The cornbread croutons could be their own appetizers--I could eat a bowl full. read more

I've been here so many times and can't believe I've never done a review! The food is delicious and I would definitely recommend trying the food. I've done both--dinning in and take out--and the food never disappoints. I've tried several options on the menu, but my go-to is the meatloaf (at least for right now). The service is really slow like extremely slow, but the food is fantastic. They play good music while you're enjoying your food. There's a bar area with TVs and then there's table seating. I've never sat at the bar, but I've seen it when picking up my to-go order. read more

Had a great easter brunch here and it was delish. I had to oder the oxtails and although these weren't huge oxtails they melted off the bone and were really tender. I think for the price it was a good value and the gravy had a bit of peppery Louisiana taste which was too good to sop with the excellently cooked rice. The cornbread was of the sweeter variety but loved every bite. Also had the green beans and the collard greens. The greens were well washed with no sandy bits and it was cooked a little al dente without being too mushy or tough. There was enough vinegar that balanced the flavorings too. Service was great and friendly. We were well taken care of. I also felt that the interior was well decorated and you felt like you were at someone's home. If you want another option of home cooking this is well worth the drive to Round Rock. read more

The drain in the floor was backing up. Will definitely be back to try something else. read more

This place is incredible! If your mama tells you that you look like you haven't been eating very well, that's a sign you need to get your butt down to Y'all's! The portions are tremendous! My catfish hung over my plate! It was breaded with some breading that had a kick to it. It was very tasty. The candied yams are sweet and make a perfect side to any meal choice. I absolutely loved the cornbread and believe the tables should come with baskets of it! The single piece on my plate wasn't enough. I suggest ending your meal with sweet potato pie. Since the meals are so big, you may not have room. Do what I did: take it to go! You'll be glad you did! read more

We have been there twice now. Everything so far has been very good. The cabbage is my favorite and is to die for. I did just get the chicken fried steak though and it was pretty inedible. It was a tiny piece of very tough cube steak that was buried in the flour mix so looked big. I didn't care for the brown "famous" gravy. They really need to improve that and it was pricey (you have to get that dish right here!). My husband had the chicken fried chicken and he thought it was very good though. The sides ate honestly better than the meals. It's pricey but recommend trying this place. I worry about them as they don't seem that busy but maybe they are when we aren't there. Definitely worth a try tho! read more

I don't typically leave reviews, but this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. Ordered online at 7p and it said to pick up around 7:36p. I get there and they didn't have my order and claimed a system issue that prevented them from receiving orders for an hour. This is despite several people coming in while I was there and picking up their online order. They told me it would be another 25 minutes, and giving them the benefit of the doubt, I stated I would wait. After 25 minutes, I still did not have my order and I waited an additional 10 minutes and asked the hostess for an update. I was told 15 more minutes. I'm already getting frustrated because there was nearly no one there, except a party of 7 who came in 45 minutes after I ordered my food. I waited the additional 15 minutes and again asked for an update where I was told the kitchen was backed up and it would be another 25 minutes. I said absolutely not and I would like a refund as I had already been waiting an hour and a half since ordering. A second person came and asked what I was wanting and again I said a refund. He left and never came back to me. The hostess went to the back and came back telling me that it would bed 6 minutes, not 25, according to the owner. Since they didn't seem inclined to refund me, I agreed to wait 6 minutes, no more, for my food. 25 minutes later, they brought me my food... but they missed an entire meal. I went back to the front and told them they missed one of my meals and they questioned me as though I was being untruthful. They initially said it wasn't on my order until I showed them my email confirmation. So there I was waiting even longer. When I was talking to the hostess, she told me that it took so long because I ordered online and they don't always look at their online orders. I asked why they would have an online ordering system then? She then stated that it was my fault because I ordered so much and I should have order right when they opened. Come again? I ordered 4 meals. Expensive ($80+ for 4 meals) and terrible time. As for the food, the cornbread and macaroni and cheese were really, really good. My husband said the candied yams were super good too. The fried catfish was fine. Nothing special or memorable. The mashed potatoes and fried pork chops were not good. The breading was falling off the chops in a soggy mess and they tasted very bland. I ended up throwing the catfish and chops away. The chicken strips and steak fingers were probably fine, but I didn't even try them after the whole ordeal. Still wish I had my refund and the 2 hours of my life. Pics for proof. read more

We previously visited Y'alls years ago and I can't believe we waited this long to return. Their name just about says it all Down Home Southern cuisine just add delicious in front! Our party of 4 arrived on a chilly Saturday seeking comfort food and it was mission accomplished. We debated ordering Apps but after seeing the heaping plates of food arriving at neighboring tables we called an audible and went straight to their entrees. I ordered their meatloaf and I am a meatloaf snob so I've been disappointed a few times. This meatloaf did not disappoint. It was moist and smothered with their signature gravy. The dish also includes onions and peppers that were spiced with their "secret spices". If this was not enough my sides included some of the best collard greens I've had in a while and their mashed potatoes have a surprisingly pinch of heat. Oh, don't sleep on their cornbread deliciously moist and perfect for sopping up the excess gravy. Plus one ordered their chicken fried chicken. The chicken was moist and also smothered with their signature gravy. If you are very hungry order their fried catfish Atchafalaya entree. You get two large catfish filets topped with crawfish etouffee and a bed of rice. As mentioned earlier this is a bountiful dish that you could easily share. Service was friendly and we were checked on multiple times and even the manager stopped by to check on us. There is a full bar with TVs if you wish to catch a game while getting your Cajun food fix. Great folks and wonderful food equals an easy 5-star review. If you are smart y'all should get your behinds to Y'alls! read more

I ordered today a. Beef Tips dinners.. This food was HORRIBLE! The tips looked and were cut up just like ALPO dog food.

Upon entering you get the sidewalk cafe vibe. Always good music playing. There were signs warning of short staffing, but Kristin didn't miss a beat. She was patient , so cordial and accommodating. Warning my husband ( who has a shellfish allergy) that shrimp was cooked in the same oil as catfish. Word of caution to others. My husband ordered the old fashion meatloaf with gravy, savory greens, and not overly sweet yams. I had the "Homie Salad" with balsamic vinegar dressing. Let me put this out there folks. How do you feel about croutons? For me they are always "meh". Let me tell you, cornbread croutons, hit way differently. These "cake" cornbread croutons ( the sweeter cornbread), added such a distinctive touch to the salad. The chicken was crispy, hot and balanced in the seasonings to complement those croutons and fresh,fresh,fresh salad greens. They brew their own tea. And the rich, deep flavor ( not brown sugar water), comes sailing over your tongue. So refreshing. This cafe hits all the right buttons. Prices are friendly too read more

This was a stellar experience! We love southern home cooking, but had never heard of Y'alls. Searched my trusty Yelp and it came up when looking for Round Rock eateries. We went for lunch on Sunday. The reviews were spot on. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious and all plates were devoured down to the crumbs. I had the Sunday turkey and dressing special with yams and black eyed peas. The giblet gravy was very close to my dear mom's recipe...halfway between thick and thin and loaded with flavors. Turkey was tender and the cornbread dressing really good. Yams, as others have mentioned, were over the top good. Just not enough of them! The others ordered meat loaf and chicken fried steak and cleaned their plates. Cornbread is served with each plate and is heavenly. The restaurant is in a strip center and doesn't look like much outside. But step inside and the place is beautiful. Very ornate design and decorations. You feel like you've stepped into a French Quarter bistro. Everything is cooked fresh and comes out piping hot. Service is at a good pace and friendly and accommodating. You'll love Y'all's!!! read more

Pros- Toni-y our waitress was a blessings she always had a smile on her face and when we didn't care for the bartenders greeting to us she gave my girl an extra drink on her! Best believe we tipped her good! The catfish was great and crispy. The restaurant itself has a nice bourbon st feel to me Cons- the bartender took away our drink menu because they had limited drinks at the time. I understood that but it was her approach and the way she grabbed our menus off the table I didn't care for the red beans and rice the flavor just wasn't hitting. All in all we will return and hope to get the same waitress and better experience read more
