“ Smothered pork chops, yams. If you get these you will be unable to resist them the next time. I tried. Get two of the cakes for dessert to go with the two full meals you will get. Please set up a franchise in the old Luby's on NASA Parkway so I can eat your food every day. ”
“ The staff was great it was our 1st time there visiting from Austin. I got the Oxtails with rice Mac & cheese candid yams. My taste buds are very southern even though I'm from the Midwest. But the food was good. I was also complimented on my cologne. By the way it's ( CALLED ODYSSEY ) ”
“ Yes, yes, and YES!!! This is it! I have been searching for great soul food in Houston since I'm not originally from here. I was invited after church to come have a great meal, and boy, was it ever. The cafeteria style service was excellent. It was hard to decide what main entree to order, so now I have to go back and try more. I ended up with smothered pork chops, candied yams, greens, and rice with gravy. The desserts were just as varied, and I'm a sucker for peach cobbler! All in all, the portions are definitely sufficient. I didn't think I would finish my food and one sitting, and now I'm in a food coma. It's probably going to be one of my regular spots!!! Oh and they have a daily special for college students for 10 bucks too!!!! Gotta show ID. ”
“ I've been wanting to come here for the longest. I've heard so much about this place but I just happened to come upon it while searching for the food hall and found it. I ordered the bbq ribs with yams, cabbage and Mac n cheese and of course a slice of butter pecan cake. The Mac n cheese was wonderful. The cabbage was good and the yams were ok. The ribs tasted like they had been frozen for awhile but they were tender and slathered with plenty of bbq sauce. The catfish was seasoned well and the pintos were ok. I would recommend coming to try it out. They do have daily specials. College students get a discount with ID. The service was good and quick. Nice ambiance with music playing. They keep this place clean. I will be back to try something different. ”
“ Stopped by for some tea cookies x for my mom and catfish. I enjoyed that there was not wait and the staff was very kind. The tea cookies were fresh and the catfish was hot and fresh also. I enjoyed that I was able to buy fish alone and that the restaurant was open past 7:30pm. I will return again, ”
