Real Southern Cooking appeared to be the tiny self-proprietor choke-and-puke that I love. Well, I tried it today. The Hunny and I have been married for 21 years, and between all of the choices, this is the one where we went for our anniversary. Real Southern Cooking looks more cafe than restaurant. Not fancy at all, just a few tables in a small area. The entire menu fits on two 8.5x11 pieces of paper on the wall. It appeals to those who say "I just want good food at a low price" - um, like me. It felt down home, too. We were surprised to see a Hispanic mama & her son behind the counter; service with a smile. The black man I expected in the back was seated at a table, finishing his lunch, and he was not only informative about the spice on everything, but friendly after witnessing us praying before eating. Some utility workers came in too, "I wish I could order everything!" It appears to be a place with a daily clientele. We both had chicken: the Hunny, chicken spaghetti, me, fried chicken. She liked hers, but found it a little spicy, like the chef included Rotel Tomatoes in the sauce. I had three small pieces, and it reminded me of extra-crunchy skin at places like Krispy Krunchy Chicken. The meat was tender and not too hot. 2 sides are included, and the amount of red beans & rice I got was larger than a mere side. Real Southern Cooking is indeed one of those places that fits the Southern diner stereotype, including the good food at a low price. Not totally Texas, but totally Southern. If you're traveling on I-10, it is located downtown, a few miles off the freeway. A few more items on the menu would take it up to 5-star territory; as you see, many Yelpers have it there now. Enjoy it now, ya hear?

The restaurant itself was also very clean and well kept. However, the staff could definitely improve on friendliness. There was no welcome, no smiles, and the cashier looked upset the entire time. At one point an employee came up to her and they were both snapping at each other, which is not the best first impression for new customers. You guys are first point of contact when we come in, please improve this. Also... the tea?! Guys, this was some of the BEST tea ever! So how do you run out of tea?! I do want to give special recognition to the bus lady. She was extremely attentive, constantly on her feet making sure everyone was taken care of. She kept our waters filled, checked on us often, and overall gave amazing customer service. Even when she had to tell us there was no more tea, she was still so kind and helpful. Honestly, she's the reason we would come back. The front line staff... not so much. 3 stars for the server, line cashier but 5 stars go to Ms Lupe!

I love how they keep the place super cold in the summer because it gets real hot in Texas. Food: this is some of the best food I've had in a long time. The beef tips remind me of a lot of Burt's , meat bar in Houston, Texas, who shut down right after Covid. The beef tips over white rice is amazing. So tender and so good my God how can you make food this amazing? The macaroni and cheese is phenomenal as well. So were the candy yams. The cornbread is great. The gravy that goes over the beef tips is simply the best. The hamburger steak is full of flavor as well. Once again, this is some of the best soul Food I've had in a long time. Top-notch customer service. Real nice people working here. I will definitely come back here anytime. Easiest five star review of written in a while. We need someone to come do a YouTube video on this place because this is what you call a hidden gem.

Let me preface with, i should have just ordered bar food as this is a bar BUT we did not…read more I ordered a sirloin - never asked how I wanted it cooked. What came out was a gray thin, long oblong shaped piece of meat. and VERY well done - the knife could not cut it. I had to send it back and the waitress told me that she told him rare. Told her that would have gone back as well as I don't eat raw meat. The next piece of meat was mulitlated with a ton of slices and gray as well, very tough and still over cooked. They tried to tell me it was the marinade that made it look that way. What??!! I marinade my steaks all the time and they never look gray or can't be cut with a STEAK KNIFE!! So i said I will just eat the baked potato. My sister complained about the frozen onion rings being over cooked - nothing was done. My husbands pizza was black! But he was too nice to complain. Sooooo here comes the bill and the manager refused to take the steak off! I said well send him over here and we can have a talk. He would not come to the table and said just charge her for the overdone baked potato, which was fine as I ate most of it. but $8.00 for it! or and $8.00 for soggy "fresh vegetables". I would be ashamed of my manager if they refused to hear a customers complaints or make it right! Jon Taffer would be disappointed in what this place turned into since the makeover. Drinks - Good and strong Service - eh. bartender was also the waitress Atomsphere - I am sure it is a good place to go on a weekend to hear a band - wish it was non smoking though. Food- stick with things like wings and fries - has to be better than all the food we ordered.
