We were hungry for fried chicken and Shannon’s was highly recommended. We weren’t disappointed. The fried chicken was just like
momma’s was! The breading was crispy and tasty and was exactly like we would have expected. The greens and sweet potatoes were so savory and complemented the meal. She gave us an oxtail and short rib to try and I would recommend both. If you haven’t tried Shannon’s, you’re missing out on some awesome home cooked southern food. We will be back!

Always great - true homemade food like my Grandma use to make -
Pro tip = get the stuffing, get the cabbage, get the black eyes peas -
EVERY entree is great

We waited all week for Shannon’s lunch at work looking for forward to Fridays menu smothered pork chops!!! but this time I got to try the beef tips too.😋 Let me tell u that stuff was cooked with LOVE!!! They smother the meat so it’s so tender and pour that gravy over white rice. The beans had some pork fat in it giving it that extra kick of flavor. Now the problem is I ate it so fast. Food is reasonably priced and you don’t have to wait long or drive around in circle looking for parking like downtown Bryan. After 3 circles of searching for parking downtown we came to Shannon’s. Quick service,great price,let’s with full belly. 👍👍👍

What an incredible place to eat. Delicious soul food, yes. Wonderful people behind the counter, yes. Felt more like eating food served by my family than a restaurant. Get here.

Almost gave a 1 star cause i drove a long way out of the way and they were closed. Decided to call cause no-one wants to ASSume. There was a cool message so kudos for that. ALWAYS CALL FIRST is the moral. It’s 7-29-25. If you read this before Tuesday the 2nd, call just to hear the message.

All around, bad service 😒 😑. The owners wife was not welcoming at all. Seemed like she didn't even want to serve us. She wouldn't take our order the way we wanted it. The food was bland. The breakfast sandwich toast was done in a toaster and not on a griddle to give the bread a great flavor. My husband's order didn't come out right the way he asked for it. I would not go there again. However, I did like the mural on the wall of the picture of all the generations it was passed down to, though.

I really can't properly express how much I love Shannon's. I have been coming here for years and have literally never had even a mediocre meal. They have all been simply fantastic

You could not ask for a finer group of people working there. The service is amazing and there's always a smile on their faces.
