If you can, order early and ahead. The man will take his time preparing your order and you will not say a word, until your order is ready. When he calls you to the window, every sense should begin to tingle because your about to devour a unique plate of food. I decided on the chicken strips and fries. Sounds pretty simple, right? Yeah, except for one thing... these chicken strips are PERFECT! The crunch of the breading, the moist "tender" white chicken meat melt into the perfectly spiced crust and there you will sit wondering, how? How? How does he do it??? Well there's no use pondering that question. It doesn't matter after you take another bite. Nothing. Not even the great fries.

On our first trip I was so amazed with the food I forgot to post a review. I had oxtails, yams, and mac & cheese. Oxtails were on a bed of rice with a very tasty gravy. Yams were on point. The Mac & cheese was good, however black pepper taste forward. Portions were big so I was able to have the oxtail for lunch the following day. Today I went with fried chicken wings, yams, and red beans. Another great dinner! If you're out in Manor stop by and chat with Fred Nunn. He's hilarious and a wonderful soul food chef,

I could see it was popular based upon the parking lot and the building and grounds appeared to be well cared for. Inside, you place your order at a counter shared with the kitchen. My order taker was well spoken and articulate. The menu had quite a selection but my client advised me to do the catfish. I settled on the catfish basket but, if I get the chance to return, I'll go with one of their dinner plates. The dining area is decorated really well -- you can tell they give the place a lot of attention. The bathrooms were a bit small but clean and all new fixtures. What's that music I hear playing? Johnny Cash? Oh yeah -- I'm in a good place. If you get the catfish, watch your first bite because boy howdy it comes out HOT! My fish was cooked to perfection and unbelievably light and flakey. The basket included some very tasty fries as well. It was more than I could put away so I brought about 1/3 of the meal home. My only wish would be for better flatware because they only provide light duty plastic. Not enough of a bother to lose a star though. I'd go back anytime I'm in Manor.

A huge thank you to the owner, Karen, and to Carrie for the wonderful service they've provided us throughout the years. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and so many of my favorite memories with friends have been made around these tables. Bonus Tip: Keep an eye out for their seasonal Kings Cake from Joe Gambinos Bakery! They bring them in straight from Louisiana, and they are the perfect authentic treat to take home. If you want authentic flavors, a warm atmosphere, and staff that treats you like family, Maxine's is the spot. Here's to many more years and many bowls of gumbo! Thank you! Lluvia and in memory of Debbie!

Staff recommended one tab and was able to split at the end which was great. Space is cozy too! Lots of seasonings on the walls and gave dining hall vibes with the picnic type tables. Highly recommend this place. It definitely gives cozy brunch vibes. I encourage you to grab an entree and a side or an extra entree to share.

No premade frozen dishes warmed up but a great home cooked meal. Exactly what Austin needs more of. Try here! I had brunch from him, the crawfish cajun styled eggs were heavenly. Nice, fluffy, flavorful. The French toast were proportioned to my preferred liking, had enough berry to bread and I simply enjoyed my food. Yall have to go try this cause I will be treating myself to this once a week at least for my cheat meal.

We ordered the Prime Rib Sunday special with the twice baked potato, the wagyu burger and fries, and the whipped ricotta with pecan pesto appetizer -- and every single dish was exceptional. The whipped ricotta was an amazing way to start the meal, and the prime rib special was absolutely worth ordering. The burger was also fantastic and cooked perfectly. The vibe inside was rustic but upscale, with warm wood-paneled walls that gave the restaurant a really inviting atmosphere. The service was friendly, attentive, and helped make the whole experience feel relaxed and fun before the concert. Honestly, the hardest part was looking at the rest of the menu knowing there are already several other things I want to come back and try ASAP. Only suggestion: definitely make a reservation. This place is popular for a reason.

Really disappointing experience from a place we have supported for years…read more We have lived in the neighborhood since 2019 and have been to Colleen's many times. This visit started off well. A manager kindly helped seat us at the last table that could fit a high chair, and our server was perfectly pleasant. Then we watched an older Uber Eats driver ask for an update on an order after being told it would be ready in five minutes. More than ten minutes later, when he checked again, the assistant manager was openly rude and dismissive. He told the driver he could not make the kitchen move any faster and then said, "Why don't you leave and come back then if you're in such a hurry." That interaction was bad enough that we canceled our food order, paid for our drinks, and left. When asked why, I explained exactly what we had witnessed. The response: "Don't worry about that, he's just an Uber driver." That told us everything we needed to know. We do not want to support a business where management treats people that way and then defends it. We will not be back. John, you should be ashamed of yourself.

The menu isn't huge, but honestly that's usually a good sign -- focus on doing a smaller menu really well instead of serving 94 mediocre things and a sad waffle. I ordered the Bad Ass Bacon & Eggs plate. It came with thick-cut bacon, 2 eggs, hash brown casserole, wheat toast, and smoked salsa. Bacon - 9/10 This wasn't your average thin breakfast bacon. Thick-cut, almost pork belly style, with killer flavor and very meaty. Eggs - 9/10 Cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. Simple, but done right. Hash Brown Casserole - 8/10 Different than what I expected, but in a good way. Unique flavor and a great addition to the plate. Salsa - 7/10 Very homemade style salsa with a smoky flavor. Different, but really good. Atmosphere - 9/10 Loved the vibe. Cozy atmosphere, great music, and just an overall comfortable place to sit and enjoy breakfast. If this place was closer to home, I'd eat here often. Service - 10/10 Excellent service. Christy H. was friendly, attentive, and on point the whole time. Overall - 9/10 Definitely a must-try breakfast spot in Austin. They currently have four locations, and after eating here, it's easy to see why.
