troyboy Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'm going to be in Houston over July 4th weekend. I could use some good ole stick-to-your-ribs soul food. I've heard good things about this place. Anyone eaten there. How was it? I'm dying to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Timmy Chan's Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 My wife likes it a lot. I've never been there, but my wife has brought me a few leftovers on occasion (usually not much left over). I think my greens are better than theirs.

But if you want the tastiest ribs in town hit Greens on Almeda. Yummy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BryanS Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I've eaten there before. It isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLWM8609 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I was just there today. It's interesting that they want to sell the land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeats Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Been there dozens of times. The ladies serving you don't get any less surly with time, so don't cringe when they yell at you. The oxtails are fantastic if they're serving them that day. Also make sure to get their yams and cabbage if you can. Used to be a much cooler place, but Midtown springing up around it has made it decidedly less so. The food is still good, but I hate the neighborhood now. Not surprised they're thinking of selling the land; they could build some more WONDERFUL condos there! :eyeroll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I seem to recall that this was one of Mayor Brown's favorite places when he was in office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, the ladies seemed rather apathetic towards customers instead of surly. One of the guys working there was in a happy mood though.

Deut28Thirteen Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 This is a great place to eat. One of my highschool friends family owns the restaurant. It is really good they catered her sweet 16 birthday party. The oxtails were awsome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'm going to be in Houston over July 4th weekend. I could use some good ole stick-to-your-ribs soul food. I've heard good things about this place. Anyone eaten there. How was it? I'm dying to try it.I also heard they moved from their current location. Seems like I read a newish review of them in HoustonPress.comhttp://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2008/...t_soul_food.phpI've been a couple of times to the old location and having grown up on soul food can attest that theirs is good, but not the best I've ever experienced.

Hmm, I may head up that way tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
