Soul Food Restaurants in Houston, TX

“Simple put Food was Damn Good.“

“Most definitely. The food is excellent.“

“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 it here. From first visit to the last service is always exceptional. The atmosphere is always pleasant and you will be greeted with so much love. This is my midweek eatery. I love my new family.“

“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 the place to get a baked potatoe. I got the OMG 4 meats and it was definitely worth the 45 min drive my husband and I made. The ribs were literally fall of the bone tender. The chicken perfect, the briskit chef's kiss and the sausage had such a good flavor. My hysband got the surf and turf and the shrimp and steak were soo good. The lobster tail that comes with was soo good and the seafood butter was smack. We will be coming back. The owners make you feel so welcomed and like family. Go see them and try it out. You wimm not 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!!!“

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

“The lamb chops were excellent. I ordered them medium, and they were cooked perfectly, tender, juicy, and well seasoned throughout. The collard greens had a rich, homemade flavor, the yams were sweet and balanced without being overly sugary, and the cornbread complemented the entire meal well. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The quality of the food definitely stood out, and I would absolutely order the lamb chops again.“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“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 🌽.“

“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!!“

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

“Absolutely love this place! The ambiance is warm and welcoming, and the food is delicious and truly authentic. The chef is Jamaican, and you can definitely taste the authenticity and care that goes into the food. The oxtail plate is one of my favorites; the oxtails are flavorful, tender, and so good! But that oxtail cheesesteak is something special and definitely a must-try. The jerk chicken is delicious too and packed with flavor. Great food, great atmosphere, and authentic Jamaican flavors. Whether you want a traditional Jamaican plate or something a little different like the oxtail cheesesteak, you won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 oxtails with rice was delicious. You can’t go wrong with any of the sides. We had yams, cabbage, green beans and Mac & cheese. Everything had that homemade taste and the portions were large. As soon as you walk in you are greeted and welcomed in as if you’re family. Would recommend to anyone looking for authentic southern food. 10/10.“

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

“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!“

“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...“

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

“We had the chitterlings, fried fish, collard greens, potato salad, black eyed peas, candied yams, red beans and rice.

All the food was seasoned to perfection. Nothing was too salty or too spicy. All the food was served hot and fresh in terms of temperature.

The chitterlings were superb, so tender and juicy.
The catfish was truly “Chefs Kiss” it was served piping hot and the batter was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We ordered an 8 piece just to take home and eat later. So that should tell you how decadent it was.
The potato salad tasted like someone’s momma made it with mustard, relish, onions, no eggs, but I didn’t miss them because this potato salad was so flavorful!!

The greens were so tender and juicy!
The red beans and rice with sausage was so creamy and delicious !

I wish I could give Soulfood by Catherine 10 stars!! We flew all the way from Las Vegas to try it!!“

“First time experiencing this great business! Food was so delicious!!“

“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.“
