Drove an hour to try this restaurant and it was closed. Hours on door day 11am open, I came at 1pm and the doors were locked. I was really looking forward to try this place. Not sure why they don’t have a phone number to call because I wanted to call to confirm they were open!

I was so excited to try this place and had high expectations. But I have to be honest, the only thing that was good was the stuffing . The chicken was pink and still had blood in it. Not thoroughly cooked. The Mac and cheese was basic the chitterlings taste like were not cleaned properly. I Threw up after a while and also had a bad stomach ache. Not sure if I just went on a bad day but I definitely will not be returning. Also I ordered a peach cobbler that they didn’t put in my bag but I guess I should’ve checked it . But it’s not a place I would return to .

Friendly & like home. Just plain old good homecooked food. Very reasonable. Another restaurant was closed, so we were recommended to Roland's. Good choice.

I came here a couple of weeks ago. I was in the area and looking to support a local business. I had a craving for fried fish and they had it in the menu so I pulled up. There's like 3 or 4 parking spots plus parallel street parking just be aware space is limited. There's a food truck parked in the parking lot but they do have restaurant where you can dine in. When I first arrived the gate was closed due to the opening personnel not having the key. I prefer my food the lady through the close gate. To my dismay they didn't have my fish!!! I ended up getting meatloaf with yams and rice and gravy. My wife got the oxtails with greens and dressing. The food took about 20 minutes to be prepared. I had my food to go. The oxtails we're delicious and well sized portions. I recommend this the dish. The greens and the dressing werent standouts but edible. The meatloaf was slightly dry but the flavor was good. The rice with gravy was good and I liked the yams. The food is good but not good enough for me to drive back here since I live far. If you're in the area definitely check out Roland's.

I can't say enough about the cooking I just ate. This was my first time here and my experience was amazing. Very nice employees and the food is very delicious!!! Love this place. I highly recommend Roland's to everyone!!!

It was tasty and satisfying. Only gripe was that they had no beef tips when I arrived. My chicken was piping hot and the sides were great. They are a small business so keep that in mind. When food runs out, it does. So make sure you get your food early. I would come back again. They were so sweet and I love that.

Maybe this was a one off. But I visited for the first time and ordered all sides. Once I receive it the sides were cold, the taste of the cabbage was way off same with the greens. The Mac and cheese appeared as if it had set all dayOne thing I will say is the service was great it felt like family.I will give it another try because I believe it was a one off day

Wings were incredible! Great hidden gem in East Austin!

Being a vegan, I didn't eat here myself. I did go inside with my wife. Never have I heard this woman smack and chew so loud. Who can lick their fingers loud? My wife! Because of that, I'm going to assume the food here is really, really great.For me, it was the atmosphere. I grew up in the "country" parts of Georgia. We had places like these. The unity, camaraderie, fellowshipping, and just the joy of being around folks enjoying some good old soul food, brought back so many memories.
