About Famous Foods

Famous Foods is a renowned restaurant that offers an exceptional dining experience. The star of the menu is their delectable cracklins, which have been praised by customers as the best in the area. The soft and hot cracklins are a particular favorite, with one customer even traveling from Houston to indulge in them. There is also a wet cracklin option that has impressed visitors. The restaurant's service is commended, with friendly staff and a packed, delicious-smelling atmosphere. While the chicken lunch plate was enjoyed by some and the chicken was described as perfect, the true highlight seems to be the cracklins. Customers can't get enough of them and recommend trying both the soft and spicy (wet kind) as well as the dry cracklins. Many suggest visiting Famous Foods in large quantities, especially if you're not from the local area.

Pork steak with 3 sides. If you double up on rice dressing, $1 more. Why? They said the meat in the rice. That rice was lacking flavor AND met. I saw zero reason to charge besides poor management and way too many employees. The roll was cold like it just came out of a storage room. The steak was good, thin cut, but flavor was there. To summit up, I won’t be going back there. The up charge was smooth brained and greedy, the roll was cold. Cold rolls?? Not worth the $15 charge...read full review

I do recommend Famous Foods but today I ordered 2 brisket dinners and mine was just hard dry pieces. I was very disappointed.

The best at everything they do love them so much wish they’d ship out of state
