Soul Food Restaurants in Houston, TX

“Most definitely. The food is excellent.“

“Simple put Food was Damn Good.“

“Excellent soul food served with love! Darilyn and her family are amicable hosts, and the food is delicious! Heavenly Choices is my go-to for special events and catering featuring soul food. When I ran for public office in 2019, Heavenly Choices prepared meals for my campaign workers, and they loved it. Recently, I bought a sheet cake of Darilyn's German Butter Cake for a tour group from Rice University, and they loved it! My latest Sunday-after-church plate from Heavenly Choices included swai fish, okra, and blackeyed peas with a side of cornbread. I also bought a side of spaghetti and a warm slice of German Butter cake for my meal the following day. Suffice it to say, everything was delicious, even on the second day. If soul food served with love is what you are looking for, Heavenly Choices is the perfect place to go!“

“everything thing we had was delicious even the kool aid and I normally dont drink that but I would with hers...“

“I stumbled across Have mercy bbq after food happenings recommended them. We went by to try it and the customer service was amazing. We were having a party for my mom so we chose them to have them cater. David was so helpful from the beginning to the end. I highly recommend them and will be definitely using them again.“

“Awesome food, well packaged, friendly customer service, great price for portion size, Black owned. I had the lemon fish, banana pudding, Parmesan wings, and fries. I highly recommend them all. Mr Foochie personally prepares your meal to perfection. Prayers to you and your business. Don't sleep on Foochies!“

“In town for business and stopped by for Sunday brunch solo. The live music was amazing, great atmosphere and the food was good. My waiter was busy behind the bar so not as attentive but since I was chilling it didn't matter much. The host at the door has excellent customer service so I will definitely return!“

“This is a must-try every time! They visit my university for Food Truck Thursday, and whenever OMG is there, I make sure to stop by.

Their food is the perfect combination of comfort, flavor, and soul—they truly know how to do it right. The service is always friendly and efficient. There can be a bit of a wait, but it’s absolutely worth it. The prices are reasonable, especially for the quality and portions you receive.

The brisket-loaded potatoes are incredible and easily one of my favorite menu items. Also the shrimp and chicken Alfredo is immaculate 🔥 Honestly, I don’t know why they don’t have a permanent restaurant yet!

If you're in Houston, do yourself a favor and check them out. You won’t be disappointed ☺“

“Amazing food, service and conversation. The oxtails were tender, delicious, and the best ever. My coworkers and I came after work and definitely will return!!!“

“Sarah, Orlando, and Daryl got this thing working on all cylinders. Great service, great food, and always make sure they have a smile on your face. If I didn’t mention great food I’m mentioning it now. If you live here or traveling this is a must have. Enjoy your day and your food!“

“Always a good time & great food! The cashier Dee she gets you together! She is the best asset to the store. Love the women in the back making your food. They always give you a hearty plate and they make sure you get exactly what you ask for. When I'm in the area I always try to stop in and get me 3 plates and some chitterlings! Lunch or dinner! I can't wait to try the breakfast.“

“Very good three sides more than, ì could easy. Enjoyed“

“I recommend that they stop serving old hard fried chicken wings & large thighs w/all that fat on ToGo orders so when U drive all the way home you're stuck with a bad order. I bought 3 orders Fifth Ward Specials $36.60 & 1 Red Bean w/Rice + 1 Macaroni w/Cheese $6.69 which was not good at all. Tasted old & we don't live very close by but my church is near by & does a lot of business with Frenchy's but for me & mine we will not do business with Frenchy's. This was at your East Fwy. Store“

“Amazing food and service!“

“I don’t even know what was more pleasant, the lady who attended to me or the food! Coz if the rating could go beyond 5 stars, I’ll give it!
Mind you, I never liked oxtail or had I ever tasted soul food before! And boy did I enjoy my plate! She even gave me a corn bread for free.. it was beyond 10 out of 10!!“

“The Food is Outstanding...You have to try it“

“OMG ONE OF MY FAVORITES! This food is sooooooo good!!! Friendly atmosphere and great vibes!!!“

“I love buying my dinners from Farmers. I used to buy dinners twice a week and cook the rest of the week but now I have to slack off a bit because they started putting some type of Louisiana spice or whatever type of spice in the food. Not everybody eats food with that type of spice so I guess they're catering to only one type of taste bud. Also, the cook has started over-salting everything, trying to kill us folk with high blood pressure. I'm trying to hang in there but I might have to totally quit because they're even putting Spice in the corn and I love corn and I can't eat that type of spice in my corn 🌽.“

“As a retired baker I have high expectations when I order treats and Brown Sugar do not disappoint. I asked for a themed cake and cookies for my daughter’s party, not only did everything look fantastic, they tasted great too. Everyone loved the treats, they were almost too pretty to eat……we will be fighting over the last piece of cake (If I don’t eat it at midnight) and the teenager has laid claim to the last few cookies. We are repeat customers and will continue to order goodies and pop in to the food truck for work and personal orders.“

“very good curry chicken and jerk chicken I tried along with the jerk egg rolls! and sides were delicious! see you guys soon“

“I had the soul food bowl. The greens were on point. The beef tips were tender and delicious, the Mac was great… but the yams and cornbread stole the show. 5 stars, highly recommend.“

“This Smothered Red Snapper is fye!! Fast service, friendly atmosphere“

“First time here since reopening! Definitely worth checking out, super friendly and courteous staff. A true family affair!“

“Food was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. Great service! We will definitely be back!“

“Definitely a good spot. EVERYTHING was awesome! Food, atmosphere, drinks. Highly recommended!“

“Horrible customer service. The young ladies that work there are not professional at all. Ghetto is it best!!! Family business so you cant talk to anyone regarding your first experience there“

“Food is delicious❣️💯💯💯💯💯💯 The menu is perfect for that late night meal💯 The fried lobster tail and house made fries are amazing❣️💯“

“I love this Restaurant and Bar! The restaurant's soul food menu has DELICIOUS entrees. The bar food is tasty as well and the hand crafted drinks are on point. The ambiance and DJs are awesome, and the music is great to unwind to if you're looking for a solid vibe and atmosphere. I highly recommend the Southern Bistro!“

“The Food was Flavorful .😋I will be going back.“

“everything thing we had was delicious even the kool aid and I normally dont drink that but I would with hers...“

“We stopped by Esther’s Cajun Cafe for the first time on New Year’s Day and I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was very clean and nicely kept. Even though they were busy, the staff stayed friendly and professional, and we still got our food in a reasonable time. We ordered black-eyed peas, cornbread, greens, potato salad, fried chicken, green beans, and candied yams. Everything was seasoned so well and full of flavor. We did take-out and enjoyed it at home, and it was delicious. Definitely a great experience and we’ll be back!“

“We had the smothered steak with mashed potatoes and green beans, and the fried pork chop basket with waffle fries. We also got the peach cobbler. All three were excellent!The steak fell apart it was so tender, and the potatoes and gravy were delicious. Even the simple green beans tasted special with food like that!The fried pork chop basket came with two delicious, juicy, perfectly seasoned pork chops. I think those were the best pork chops I've eaten in years.The peach cobbler was so good. Brown sugar-y and cinnamon-y with tender peaches and crust... yum!I highly recommend this food truck. In addition to the delicious food the owners were super nice, just great customer service.“

“😀GREAT FOOD. I had the jerk chicken plate. Once I started, I couldn't stop. The lemonade was delicious as well.“
