11 Best Southern Restaurants near Nederland

“Finally, I can say that I've eaten at Bobby's Homestyle Cooking, and it did not disappoint!!! My deceased parents ate lunch there frequently and always raved about it, and my family enjoys it regularly, and yet I had never had the opportunity to eat there myself, until yesterday! My meal was absolutely delicious! In spite of my skepticism of ordering gumbo from a restaraunt (my family makes fabulous gumbo & it's hard to measure up), I ordered the gumbo. WOW!!! It was wonderful! So savory & flavorful, and sooo similar to my family's! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal (with delicious potato salad) and my lunch partner had the beef tips, which I sampled as well & found delicious & tender! The atmoshere inside is very quaint with lots of hunting/fishing decor inside, and a neat ball cap collection on the ceiling. I also must comment on the staff - every one of them was very welcoming (even though we arrived 30 minutes before closing), friendly, warm, personable & helpful!
I loved my experience at Bobby's Homestyle Cooking yesterday, and I'm looking forward to returning soon for another delicious meal! Can't wait to try something different because I just know it will be delicious, too! Highly recommend if you're in Nederland & hungry between 10:30 am - 3:00 pm Tuesday through Friday!“

“Jones food brings back memories of our grandmother 's cooking on Sundays. Their food is served hot, seasoned well, the plates are fully loaded, where 2 people can make a meal on one plate. The place is neat, cozy warm and clean. And the people are very, very friendly. I would highly recommend Jones. This is a welcoming place.“

“Always enjoy eating at Sam’s!!!! It’s on my places to eat list when come in from Louisiana to help take care of my dad. The staff is always very kind and even gave my mom a gift certificate. They eat there a lot, due to many Dr visit.“

“Some of the best beef tips with gravy, mashed potatoes, cabbage and black eyed peas. They also have great meat loaf. Honestly everything I have ever eaten there has been excellent. I miss this place and can’t wait to come visit and go eat there again.“

“It's just great! My boyfriend's band is doing a private gig tonight and I recommend this venue for any event!!! Rockin’ A’s is rockin’!!!!!“

“5 stars the food is to die for!!!!!!!!! We needed this. Soul food, down south cooking. Im heading there at 11am to get me some food. I am addicted to this place. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND 💯 and the Kool-aid taste just like grannies! The sweet tea is so good! I love this place. Oh yeah AND you get big portions for such a good price. Yummyyyyyy“

“The waitress didn’t seem to understand the basic requests we had, she sort of went about her business completely ignoring my requests like I wanted my croissant to come out with my meal, but she brought it before any of the drinks! I just felt she could have been a better listener if she did what she nodded and agreed to after I asked. But great food, atmosphere was alright.“

“The place doesn’t look the best, not that it doesn’t feel clean, in fact for the type of building it is, it feels well taken care of, just feels like an old location, which can only be helped so much.

The people who I assume own or at least operate the place are super friendly and attentive. I’ve only been here twice but each time it was good. Customers were a bit on the rougher side being rude to the owners and such, but given the location and the fact it’s Beaumont I expect no less from the people that come in.

The food, it reminds me of a style of home cooking that isn’t extremely over the top of flavors, but isn’t offensively without flavor. It feels like someone is holding back to have a broader palette for those coming in, which is nice on the stomach which you might be having a rough day and you want more comfort than extremes.

The options are about what you’d expect from a chicken place. Pretty standard stuff, but the fish? I didn’t expect fried fish, or some of the other sides like dumplings and okra. And the baked chicken had a sauce it sits in that is amazing.

They have lots of ketchup, hot sauce, tartar sauce, and honey mustard. They have also have some other sauces you can buy separately which I assume is just par for Hartz buffet seeing as the one in port Arthur does the same, the fact they have a lot of other no additional charge options makes me not upset I can’t have barbecue sauce with my chicken.

If I had one complaint it was just that the yeast rolls didn’t last. Though to be fair I wasn’t the only one trying to get one because they were so fluffy and delicious.

All in all, it was great. Nothing bad happened yet and I hope it stays that way when I go back in the future.“
