I only give the atmosphere 3/5 because I went pretty late at night and I was the only person there so I didn’t get to vibe, other than that… Food was amazing!! I got the catfish platter and that jawn was banging. I wish they would put salt on the fries and sub the regular toast for Texas toast cause I mean hey we are in Texas lol. But the customer service was amazing! The food was amazing! And for a late night spot it’s pretty dope. Ask the Texas natives was good in the area around 3am and they all said the same thing! Go check it out!
I’ve been coming here since was a kid. The cheese fries are my favorite thing on the menu. They are open all hours( 24/7) and they are a cash only business. It’s BEAUTIFUL to see a local business still standing👏🏽👏🏽 ***CASH ONLY***Great service, some meal items are hit or miss but definitely the heart of houston.
Dirty tables more often than not. The food is made fresh. Service is straightforward. Order at the window, wait for your number to be called. Cash only. I ordered the fish sandwich and it came out piping hot, add pickles since they do not have tartar sauce. Overall, a quick bite to eat on a late night.
First time here and this wasn’t for me. Ordered the cheese burger and chili cheese fries. The meat tasted/looked steamed? It wasn’t hot enough to melt the cheese. The bun was hard and dry. The fries - made me leeery. Stadium cheese? Meat topping? I love it for the people who love it - just not my jam.
Service is quick and the portions are huge. There’s also lots of outside seating. Got 3 double burgers, milkshake and an order of onion rings for about $18. The burgers won’t blow your mind or anything, but for the price they’re decent.
