About Under the knife

Under the Knife is a highly praised restaurant known for its delicious soul food and generous portions. Many reviewers highlight the tenderness and flavor of the oxtails, which fall right off the bone and melt in the mouth. The mac and cheese is consistently described as creamy and flavorful, while the yams and collard greens are also appreciated for their good seasoning. The pot roast is noted for being tender and tasty, especially on chilly days. The cornbread stands out as soft with a hint of sweetness, almost like cake, making it a favorite for many.

Diners appreciate the variety of meals available, including dishes like baked jerk chicken, Nose Job (jerk chicken wings), and traditional sides. The baked jerk chicken is flavorful, though some find the seasoning mainly on the skin, which can be a downside for certain tastes. Portions are large and offer good value for money. The restaurant's service and hospitality are also well-received, with staff being friendly and accommodating.

Ordering through Uber Eats and DoorDash, customers find the food to be fresh, well-presented, and thoughtfully packaged, including utensils and hand wipes. Overall, Under the Knife is considered a hidden gem in the Katy area, offering tasty, well-seasoned soul food that keeps customers coming back for more.

I highly recommend this spot. The food is very good. I have no complaints on that front. However, go early as they sell out of a lot of the dishes. Especially oxtail.
I want to start out by saying THIS FOOD WAS MADE WITH LOVE! I didn't catch the beautiful lady name but she is the owner and you can tell she knows her way around the kitchen. My food was delicious and fresh. It was seasoned so well & not salty like some other soulfood restaurants. I do my best to support black owned businesses & I will be back! She was so sweet & passionate about promoting her food. I wish her all of the success her heart can hold ❤🙏
First of all I want to thank “China” for preparing such delicious food that hits straight to your soul! The menu is perfect and will satisfy any taste buds! The service is met with a genuine smile and she has a great memory for who orders what! Simply put, all of your food cravings WILL BE SATISFIED FROM FRESHNESS, PORTION SIZES AND TO TASTE!!! I’ve graduated to 3 sides so I can enjoy them all!!

You deserve all the success you’ve got coming...read full review
