Catfish was fried well, nice cornmeal batter, not too thick. Shrimp are jumbo. Food 10/10, can’t go wrong. Good stop for lunch, or convenient foo... People often mention shrimp, fish,

    1st time visitor. Ordered Triple w wings, fish & shrimp plus Boudain balls. Food was overcooked I.e. shrimp was rubbery, wings dried out. May try again but w instructions to not fry too long. Seasoning too heaving on salt.

    This food was so good! I had the fried fish and shrimp and my friend had the lemon pepper wings with fries. It was so fresh, and so tasty! I will definitely return to try some of their other items. Good stuff!

    Awesome place. Was shocked at the flavors because they were so good. They actually use seasoning, unlike other places. Food was cooked perfect. Met the Boss Chef, super friendly guy. Got alot of food for the price. Overall super good spot

    10/10 I got the catfish basket and added hush puppies. They have REAL CATFISH y’all. Not that Swai stuff other houston restaurants be passing out. Very flavorful and fresh. THE BEST catfish I’ve had in Houston and I am a foodie. The hush puppies were good. Sweet and just perfect to go with my Cajun seasoned fries. My food was phenomenal. Can’t wait to go back!!! And it was so much food I ate half my plate and saved the rest for later. Also the lady serving me was very nice.

    Fitting name, the food is definitely for the soul. The fish is so good, and definitely get the wings. We stopped here before going to an event, bad move, I needed a nap after this meal. My belly was definitely happy to meet this Houston spot. The neighborhood is iffy even in the daytime, but the customer service was great and the food came out in a timely manner. I highly recommend this place. Jesus, take the wheel, the house, the dog, and whatever else you feel is necessary for them to keep churning out delicious meals.

    Straight up garbage hood old grease and old heat lamp food....never again! Maybe I should have ordered some drinks first, lol. Look, if you are satisfied with low prices within walking distance, this may be your place to go in an empty establishment on a Friday night. My fish, shrimp, wings, and fries were such a disappointment that I threw it out with their cousin in the trash can. 🗑
