    I love this place. I love the food. Their fried chicken is the bomb.com. 😂. The collard greens are amazing. It's fresh and hot and decent portions. I got the lunch special where you can get 1 breast or 2 dark. I got the breast. Oh, and I most definitely need my hot sauce so my apologies for the hot sauce covered chicken. 🤣🤣

    Frozen kool-aid was good. Mac n cheese was bland/noodles overcooked and didn't taste fresh. Candied yams were also bland and looked like carrots. The catfish was really good.. This was my first experience i had a very long wait and unfortunately I probably won't be back. This sucks because all the good reviews were the reason I decided to try this place.

    Customer service was great! Menu has a good variety & the price is good. The spicy catfish is really good as well as the broccoli casserole! My daughter loved her chicken dinner as well. We didn’t care for the Mac n cheese nor the cornbread or the sweet potato pie. It was worth a try! I love supporting black owned businesses anytime I can!

    I got “catfish” greens, Mac and cheese and candied yams. I’ve never been more disappointed. I wanted so bad to like their food with it being black owned I was excited but every dish fell horribly short. I didn’t finish any of my food I threw it away. Also the “catfish” is NOT Catfish it’s swali fish. It’s a thinner and cheaper fish with a similar texture but not taste. This fish was also super greasy and you could tell the grease being used is old. Also nobody had a smile on their face every body was very monotone and seemed tired or something. I won’t be coming back or recommending this restaurant so sorry.

    Despite being short staffed I was welcomed immediately. I was seated and my order taken within 10 minutes. Food was prepared fairly quickly. The greens and sweet potatoes were really good. The pork chops were tender but lacked the seasoning I had anticipated. The cornbread was good. I ordered the fried chicken with macaroni and sweet potatoes for my daughter. She devoured it. I ordered a slice of pecan pie and sweet potato pie. The pecan pie was delicious. My daughter enjoyed her pie as well. Very reasonably priced. Staff was courteous and professional. I think there was only 3 people working. They were managing a lunch time rush with a smile. They are definitely worth a try.

    We went on Saturday afternoon for lunch, the food was great. I loved the fried chicken. My friend had the pork chops and said they were tender and delicious! We also had dessert - peach cobbler which was warm, edges were crunchy and felt like it had been prepared especially for me! My friend had a slice of sweet potato pie and said she loved it. Treat yourself to a delicious meal and go to Drew's Place.

    I remembered to take a picture this time BEFORE I tore this up. Delicious seasoning and moisture in this delectable fried chicken!! Sides are tasty as well but the chicken is the STAR ⭐️ here!! Finish your meal with some peach cobbler a la mode or sweet potato pie. No pics. I ate it all and enjoyed every bite!! Check before you go bc they’re only open certain days and 11a-3p.

    The food was good but not great. The cabbage, mac and cheese and cornbread was missing something. For those who are longing for well seasoned soul food Drew's seems to be a hit or miss. The fried catfish though was seasoned to absolute perfection! My wife had the greens that were also seasoned extremely well! Next visit it seems I'll be having the catfish sandwich. Oh and don't forget the kool-aid and sweet potato pie!

    No comparison one of the best meals we’ve ever had before. Fantastic customer service. Juicy chicken. Perfect chicken fried steak. Homemade Broccoli Rice. We were sad when we finished we just wanted to start all over again

    I came here for lunch with a coworker. I was excited because I'm from Chicago i be searching for good soul food or good food period in Texas. Plus it was black-owned so I was ready to dive in. The place is old skool it gives the old southern vibes. It's a shack-style cafe/ restaurant. Once you walk in it has a very nostalgic ambiance. We waited at the front for a nice 5mins 1 waitress on the floor walked by but didn't care to greet us. She walked by twice no eye contact or anything. She was moving so fast you would think it was a packed house. Just a few tables no more than 5. She went by a window where I now know they take togo orders by a window on the outside. After tired of waiting I shouted ma'am do we sit ourselves? She walked past again and said something but I only heard what I needed (sit yourselves). So my coworker overly tried to convince me not to try the fried Catfish She said she got sick last time but it was a pickup order and her breading was falling off. I heard her but my mouth was watering for it. So I got it and it was cooked nice and fried hard but the taste was off it wasn't fresh. IT WAS NOT CATFISH SWAI FISH I HATE WHEN YOU ALL DO THAT. CHEAP! The mac n cheese was not MAC N N CHEESIN! The greens were good and tasty. Full of flavor I picked that old a** smoked meat out of it. My fried okra was good as well. The cornbread was sweet and tasty. I won't be back but I was trying something new! My advice is to take your time and don't sell bad fish or any meat for that matter all guests deserve to feel like the very 1st plate you've served when they originally opened.

    Haven’t been jam here in years….. placed my order over the phone after three phone call attempts and several minutes of holding on without even been told to hold on. Ordered the smothered and regular pork chops. There was nothing smothered about them. The fried pork chops were seasoned well. Ordered broccoli rice and cheese casserole and got Mac and cheese instead. Ordered black eyed peas and hot Mac and cheese in place of it. Both orders were boy what I ordered but at least they got some of it correct. The Mac and cheese was not seasoned the mashed potatoes were plain. The peach cobbler was good!

    The fried chicken is pretty good (well seasoned), the greens as well were ok… smothered pork chops were a little bland for my taste and the candied yams and mac and cheese were both pretty plan but all in all it was ok.

    Oh! This some all day every day every time I fly home kinda spot. You know this is your spot when you can recall and remember the owner's kiddo from 20y ago now college-educated and working alongside her Momma. Me and my Momma got the cat and the 5p chix so we can share 4 sides and 2 meats. And they got fanta red? My sweet Jesus and sweet tea is a blessing of all sorts here. See y'all in a few months.

    Unflavored greasy fried chicken. Very disappointed indeed. First time ordering here, but NEVER AGAIN. I ordered 5 pc chicken with two sides, candied yams and greens. The young lady at the window was rude, full of attitude for no reason, she was ready to clap back if asked simple questions. She made the experience very negative. She was acting as if she didn't want to be there, I should have see that as a 🚩 and left, but I stayed. I wait about 30 min before the food was ready, folks who came after me had gotten their food n left. I went up to the window n my box was just seating there, very sad. I got my food, and all five pieces of fried chicken were cold and very greasy. It's as if they got it from the fry pan straight into box, grease seating on top of chicken, gross. The fried chicken was nasty and lacked all flavoring, I couldn't believe it. All the folks working there were AA, so I expected the chicken at least be seasoned, it was not🤢. Honestly this fried chicken has to be the worst fried chicken I've ever had 💯, even my blind neighbor season her chicken better than this! I throw the chicken away and eat the yams and greens. A total waste of $16.57 and a refund would be nice!

    This was my first time trying Drew’s and it was amazing. I’ve been trying to find a good soul food place with good greens in Fort Worth, and this is it! I got the LeeAnn plate with fried chicken, collard greens, black eyed peas, and corn bread. It was all delicious, and I finished every bite. I’ll definitely be back! Thank y’all! :)

    On my visit the dining room was closed due to COVID. However, I took advantage of the chairs that were outside. I arrived at opening so my order was prepared in 10 minutes. I had the fried chicken, collards, and peach cobbler which I loved for the flavors and seasonings. I also had the smothered chops, black eye peas and corn bread that were ok but lacked the seasons and flavoring of the other items. I still plan to go back when the dining room is open. I believe there is more soul food I need to try from Drew's Plàce.

    Today was my first visit. I didn't realize that there had been an article about Drew's reopening so the place was super busy. The staff were frantically filling orders both inside and out. I waited for quite a while and might have gotten annoyed on another day but after finding out about the added media coverage and realizing they were short staffed and just observing how hard working everybody was...the wait didn't seem too extreme. Got home and every single meal (5 total) was exactly what we ordered. My meal (the fried chicken) was shared with several people because the servings were generous. My chicken was so delicious. The sides were cooked perfectly and it felt like a meal that my mama would have put on the table. Well done to the staff for keeping calm and handling a large volume of customers with smiles and professionalism. We will be back.

    Literally the best catfish I've gotten from a restaurant..... whether it was fast food, or a fancy seafood place.... this is THE BEST. I'm not sure if you can eat inside but they have a to go window to pickup online orders or order when you get there. My food was packaged well, everything separate, even parchment to soak up the grease. Food was hot, fresh, seasoned to perfection & even ready earlier than expected. I'm always looking for a regular place to frequent when I'm downtown during lunchtime and I think I've found it. I can't wait to try the fried chicken!

    My husband and I went to Drew’s for the first time last month. He had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and fried okra with a side of collard greens. I had fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. I really wanted to try some dessert, but I was stuffed and took home the leftovers. Everything was delicious! It took us an hour to get there and it was worth every minute of it! I’ve been dreaming about going back and we will soon…

  • 5/5 Juliana L. 8 months ago on Google
    First time eating here. I got the spicy catfish, Mac and cheese, greens, roll and koolaid slushy. I loved the fish, greens and roll! The fish was truly fantastic! The Mac was disappointing. It seemed more like buttered noodles than Mac and cheese at a black owned business. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and will go back and try different sides. The service was great and the food didn't take but 10 minutes to come out.

    First time coming here and was disappointed. The reviews had me hyped to come. Food was bland, gravy was like pudding just awful especially the macaroni. Just not what I expected in a SoulFood spot. Parking is an accident waiting to happen or you can chance parking on the street and get sideswiped.

    Very good food. The chicken fried steak was juicy and delicious. The mashed potatoes were very good. The staff were very good, however, it was apparent they were short staffed. Will definitely eat here again and highly recommend for others that want very yummy fried food.
