    Two fish dinners with 3 sides each
    Tiffany B.

    The Good: 1. Customer service was great! Everyone was pleasant and I felt very welcomed. 2. My favorite side of the six was the green beans. 3. The price point is inexpensive. The Bad: 1. Majority of the sides were extremely bland. 2. The Mac and cheese was overcooked and didn't really have a cheesy taste. 3. The greens were cold--not like warm, but actually cold. 4. The fish was the most disappointing because it didn't even look like what I have seen in other customer's pictures. The fish was very salty and was cooked too fast, yet had a little of burnt look on the exterior. It had multiple bones even though I specifically asked for fillet. The Ugly: 1. When I walked into the establishment and looked at the food in the cafeteria's line, most of the food did not look appetizing. I don't believe anything was fresh, but I wanted to support a locally owned business. 2. There were customers eating in the restaurant, but ironically they left so much food on their plate as if they didn't quite enjoy their meal. I really was hoping that the soul food would be top notch, but it was very disappointing in various ways.

    The atmosphere is amazing great service & friendly staff

    Love this food I can't wait to try the whole menu & fried okra or other foods they may offer special

    Great food and excellent service. It was my first time visiting and they were good in explaining how it works and giving recommendations. You can choose a meat and up to five sides, with a choice of bread, desert and a drink. The price was very good with the amount of food and great it tasted. I went when they had Turkey and dressing and it was phenomenal. The food is seasoned perfect. No complaints

    Collard greens

    We enjoyed our vegetables, gumbo and the cornbread was outstanding. Service was great. I'm surprised it was not busy as we were there in the middle of the noon hour.

    4919 34th Street, across from Coronado School District. Open Tuesday-Sunday. Home cooking that will make your tastebuds dance. Buffet available. Plate options. Seafood options. Clean environment. Plenty of open seats. Natural lighting brings a well lighted area. Greeted with smiling faces and quick service. I was very pleased with our meal. The kids and grandkids loved the food as well.

    Second visit to Docs don't know when they reopened here but I sure am glad they did. I visited here the fri before Christmas with the family and food was great. Today's visit I was looking for some healthy quick food. Ok maybe sorta healthy b ut great tasting. Lunch specials 11-2 Thurs - Sun choice of meat w 2 sides drink and bread for $9 beats all the fast food out there. If your really hungry they have their 1stop Buffett your choice of meat w up to 5 sides, bread & dessert for $13. I'm not a little man and I couldn't squeeze my dessert in it had to make the trip home. This restaurant is part of Lee's family, bucket of love chicken, & royal seafood. Across from Coronado High School

    My smothered beef...so good. Beans were great. Ribs on the other plate were great. Everything! I will be back as often as possible.

    This place is great! Great homemade food and you choose what you want. They were so friendly and helped me because it was my first time. I'll be back as often as I can. It all reminds me of happier times going to a cafeteria with my grandparents.

    As a Mississippian native and Houston resident, I love some good soul food, especially at a reasonable price!!! This place is the definition of a home cooked meal! What I also appreciate is how they offer a variety of food. There was so much to choose from. And they offer different combo options so you can get as many sides as you want! The staff were very kind. I believe they were all family. You can tell that the community really enjoys this food by the way people were constantly coming in. I got their chicken dressing that came with a chicken thigh. For my sides, I got their collard greens, glazed carrots (so good!), mac & cheese and an extra side of broccoli rice & cheese casserole. It came with cornbread, a dessert, and ice cream. You can feed a family with that. And it was all under $20. Houston would never! The quality of the food was delicious!!! Seasoned well and full of flavor. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant whenever you can!
