I lived in Houston all my life even went to TSU around the corner and never ate here. I decided to eat here yesterday night. Baby when I tell you I was so disappointed! When I first walked in , it's no smell of home cooked food smh , noone was inside but yet staff saw me but took 5 mins to assist me. The food looked ok but not dang that looks delicious. I should of just walked out on them then. I got smothered pork chops, yams, mac and cheese and cabbage. First off the pork chops and gravy had no seasoning had to add a bunch of hot sauce to even taste decent to eat and the pork chops was mostly fat, the yams I had to add my own butter, cinnamon and brown sugar to make it taste good, it had no flavor. They so called award winning mac and cheese was horrible, I had to add more cheese and seasonings to make it taste good and omy goodness the cabbage was so bland was no seasoning,again had to add seasonings and vinegar. Baby I could of saved $24 and cooked my own dog gone food, cause I definitely cook better then this place. They need to hire me to cook and guaranteed the line will be around the building đ. I will not be back, I hate to waste moneyy so I ate it. Oh the cornbread was ok not delicious and I'm a person who love their cornbread. Even Kelly's kitchen which is yt county cooking and they taste better then them and that says alot lol. I don't even know how this place is still open, I guess cause of popularity cause they was once featured in the Jason's lyric movie in the 90's which they make sure to remind you because of that poster by the doorđđ. This is what I get for cheating on Mikki's soul food. They food so much better and so delicious. I go to the one off West bellort. This is it , y'all should be ashame of y'all selfs selling this trash! đ. I think the people leaving positive reviews are old people , people who don't know what soul food taste like and don't know no better and other races who don't know no better either especially the ones on the...

   Read more"This AINT It", should be the name of this horrible, ghetto establishment. I went to get food here on Saturday, May 18, 2024, around 4pm, and the food and customer service was absolutely horrible. This is nothing new with this place. Upon arriving, my mother and I were not greeted, and the middle-aged black woman, with short hair, who was the only one working the food service line, was very rude, curt and rushed. She had the biggest attitude and had the worst look on her face as if she did not want to be at work that day, nor did she feel like servicing us. She has horrible customer service. I ended up getting the (1) baked chicken, which was completely dry and horrible tasting (even though it was sitting it what looked to be their version of gravy, but what in essence slop), (2) yams, which were not seasoned at all, (3) green beans, which were bland, and the (4) macaroni and cheese which had no flavor at all either. This was a complete waste of nearly $30 for nothing. While I am not surprised at the poor food quality and customer service at this establishment, because this was my 3rd time attempting to give them an opportunity to redeem themselves, this will be our last time ever servicing this ghetto, unprofessional, nasty establishment. I would have thought that over the years, the owner would have trained his unprofessional staff (including his son who use to work the register at one point, and who was the most disrespectful, sarcastic, restaurant worker I have ever encountered), and I would have thought that this feedback, along with the poor food quality feedback, that has been given to them numerous before, would have improved the overall experience of this place. However, nothing has changed. DO NOT SERVICE THIS PLACE!! They are RUDE and the FOOD IS NASTY! THIS AINT IT should be...
