Drove here from Rhome only to find that they're closed. Yelp and Google says they're open today to 3:00 pm. You can have great fried chicken but obviously the owner doesn't care about keeping consistent, UPDATED hours! Do better! read more

Juiciest fried chicken I've EVER HAD!! It was soooo good! We had a fried chicken breast, fried pork chop, okra, cornbread, and greens. My only negative: parking lot is small (as in people don't know how to drive and our car accidentally got hit by someone trying to turn around) so park on the street and don't risk it! My only less than stellar thoughts: the cornbread was dry, wish it wasn't, and I would've liked the greens to have more flavor from the meat it's cooked in. We will definitely be back! Can't wait to try the catfish and smother pork chops. The staff was super friendly and welcoming! We love a cute family owned restaurant where we feel like family! GO!!! RUN!! It is worth the try!! read more

Drew's Place - My friends meal - Soul Food Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Food is mediocre at best Is expensive for heat up and serve Also, I was only 1 person and the food was brought to my table and no one came back I watched them go back to all of the tables but mine I guess 1 person and I thought racism was over Apparently not . The manager tried to tell me they were busy. Which was not the case read more

Step aside Popeyes, Lisa's, and anyone else wanting to fry me up a hot plate of bone in chicken - Drew is the only place for me. When you walk into Drew's, you'll notice that the restaurant is small and the decor feel original. There isn't a singular thing that feels fancy or inauthentic. Quite frankly I don't think they care what the place looks like on the inside... and neither do I. It feels like you just walked into Drew's living room and he's about to slap yo momma with a flavor that would make a Cajun say, "owwwweeeeeeeee! Das sum goooood chick-un!" And it is. The skin is crispy, the meat itself is tender, and the spices mixture is clearly unique. The candied yams should be sent to all foreign enemies of state as they would likely usher in world peace. Sweet tea is balanced and refreshing. (And you can help yourself to a second refill if you're kind enough to your server.) But what, what is the best thing about Drew's? It's one of the few places left that feels real. Drew is in the back, cooking up chicken, like he always has since 1982 (or something like that). He'll come out and shake your greasy hand, sit down, chat and then get back to work. It's just awesome. Now corporate profit and loss statement, just good food made from the heart... or perhaps, better said... Food made from and for the soul. Thanks, Drew! read more

Ordered 5 different veggies and all really weren't much to talk about. All of the items tasted comparable to the food that patients are served in a hospital. Cornbread was very dry as well. Wish I would've ordered a slice of cake Togo. Will likely not go back. Though service staff were very friendly and informative of the menu. read more

Good old fashioned southern soul food is what they're know for. Get your taste buds ready and experience the fried chicken or the fried pork chops. I love them both so I always get 2 plates. The service is prompt as this place fills up quickly. It's good to eat in or just as good to take out. The greens,yams, and fried corn are my favorite vegetables here, but come and try for yourself. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place, as SOON as I stepped through the doors, took me back to my grandmother's house! Quaint, down home environment with the BEST of the food to match! I got the fried chicken and spicy whole fried catfish !! Absolutely seasoned to perfection, cooked PERFECTLY and the sides matched the mains (field peas, broccoli rice casserole, and greens...MAGICAL!!) A must try and they do serve the underserved in the community as well. A -1!!! read more

The best food I've had in years. The fried chicken is delicious, but the veggies were my favorite. From the cabbage to the collards (which I ended up ordering a pint to take with me) this place knows how to prepare authentic, flavorful food for the soul. And as a nice bonus they have cherry kool aid slushes!! Krystal was my server and she was very attentive and didn't mind helping me pick her favorites from the menu. The entire meal including two plates, a large drink, pint of collards, half dozen extra cornbread AND a delicious piece of italian cream cake were around $50. I tipped well for the great service. Be sure to keep their hours in mind, as they close the dining room service at 2:30, but you can order to go until 3. Closed Saturday, Sunday and Monday. If you're in the area I highly recommend! read more

Order pick up on 11/15/25, the food was delicious. The fried chicken was hot and juicy, smothered porkchops were so tender and the right amount of seasoning, whole catfish was good also. But the coconut cake was "fire", OMG !!! That slice of cake was well worth the 5.99, just wish I would have had 2 slices. The service was great, I called in to ask was my order ready before entering and the lady said not yet, but she would bring it out to my car when it was ready, now that was great service, because of my limited mobility. Thank you for that service, the lady was an older woman. Thank you again...I will be back.. read more

Great just closes too early! Food was delicious. Uses peanut oil for anyone allergic to peanuts. But if that is the case they have scrumptious baked chicken and mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese that will make you want to come back. read more

This review can be quickly summarized as: Best fried chicken in DFW. I can't get chicken home, because I sit in the car and eat it all. Do yourself a solid and make your sides at home and get their chicken. Finger licking good. read more

As much I wanted to give a lower rating based on the service today, I'll be fair. The Chicken which is the highlight of this place was delicious. I had the greens and Mac for my sides and they were ok but I've definitely had better. The corn bread was also not it for me. As with any popular restaurant that is short staffed , the service can go downhill pretty quick. It took almost 45 minutes to receive food for a party of four during lunch hour while other parties who were seated after us received their food faster. The owner I assume did apologize for the delay and I was compensated with a delicious pecan pie. read more

Are they still open?.... I've moved back to Ftw, I miss them. Fried Catfish Greens and Mac . read more

Let me start by saying, I have been by this place a few times and they were always closed. Today was my lucky day. I ordered a small plate of chicken, fried of course, collard greens and Mac & cheese. The food came out, hot and smelling good. If y'all had smell-a-review, you 'd know what I was saying, lol. Every bite was good. So, good most people would say you could slap your mama (however, I would not say that since my mom is still on this earth and she'd slap me back ). The crunch on the chicken was so loud, you could hear it all over Fort Worth. Everything is served in Styrofoam, which is a plus because it's an easy carry out. One slight detractor, a little too much salt. Just drink plenty of water so your ankles won't be swollen. I noticed everybody was getting the sweet potatoes. That will be my next venture. I think if you want good down home Soulfood, you should try this place. I know I will be back. read more

Great fried chicken, I haven't yet tried anything else but when it's southern fried chicken you want, Drew's is the place!

What a place! Came highly recommended from a friend awhile back, he bet me a kick in the nuts it's the best friend chicken I'd have. Needless to say I will be buying some ice later on today. Smothered pork chops were great also but the chicken was fried and seasoned to perfection! Whatever y'all used to season I want it on everything I ever eat again.. Service was very welcoming and quick! My only regret is not getting dessert. Get in my belly! read more

What can you say about the perfect soul food restaurant? Just two words, really: go there! It's pure Louisiana soul food, home cooking, just like I was fed at grandmas house down in Pineville, Louisiana when I was growing up. Everyone, the owner, the wait staff, the chef, the bus people... Everyone is smiling and friendly, and make us old a white folks feel completely welcome there, and even though it's a black owned restaurant with all black employees. Try the coconut cake! The cobbler with a scoop of homemade ice cream! The smothered steak, the fried chicken! You're gonna love it here. I have been a patron for the last 15 or 20 years! Just South if Camp Bowie on Curzon at Horne. Walk in hungry, crawl out completely satisfied! read more

Drew's place has been on my radar screen for some time now. For the last couple of weeks I've had a craving for fried chicken. I decided to indulge myself today and to haveit at Drew's. Wow. Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. If I've ever had better fried chicken I can't remember it. This is knock your socks off amazing fried chicken. Could not be any crispier, perfect seasoning, and super moist juicy meat in every piece including the breast piece. I'm declaring this is the Gold Standard. I like KFC, both original and crispy; Golden Chick; Popeyes; Babe's (just been once prolly 20 plus years ago); and Gus', etc. I guess it's obvious that I love fried yard bird (though honestly I eat it very infrequently). But this at Drew's is truly remarkable. And the prices are terrific. But it doesn't end there. I ordered the collard greens and the b.ack eyed peas. Both were absolutely delicious. I mean really good. Seasoned just right and cooked just right. So good. This is a wonderfully comfortable little neighborhood cafe. It sits on a residential corner with houses all around. I wonder if it was something before it was Drew's. I suspect not a restaurant. Dunno. It is a kinda crowded dining room that is very pleasant and welcoming. I have hearing issues and the noise level was an issue for me in conversing across the table. But then who needs to talk to your dining companion when you can just text 'em? Hahaha. Jus' kiddin'. Who need to talk when you have this mouth-watering food in front of you to deal with? I can see Drew's becoming a constant source of temptation. So glad to have found this. ****I Well, I wasn't gonna do an update cause I thought I done gone and said it all above, but after just now eating a piece leftover from lunch today I had to say some more, which we preachers are justifiably and obnoxiously notorious for. I know it's true. Sorry. Occupational hazard. As you know if you read the review above I so loves fried chicken. If I were not already happily married I just might marry me a fried chicken. As I wanted to take some home today I ordered the large plate which I figured included half a yard bird. That it did, PLUS a second breast! Not a wing or a drumstick or even a thigh, but two breasts! And everybody, I don't care who you are, loves two breasts! Anywho, I took both, along with the drumstick, home for later along with most of the greens and black eyed peas. I had some of the chicken this evening cold as I like fried chicken either way; however you cannot beat it in the restaurant when it comes out fried to order (20 minutes) piping hot and so super crispy! But when cold I could appreciate the flavors from a different perspective. The seasoning at Drew's is, IMHO, eggzaktly what fried chicken seasoning oughta be. Perfect balance of flavor and pepper heat. I can still ratnow feel some heat on my lips, but here's the deal. The pepper compliments the seasonings and chicken but does not obliterate the flavor with nuclear reactor levels of heat like the currently (for some unknown reason) popular hot chicken restaurants. I've had several of those hot chicks and just don't get it. Why not just suck down a couple tablespoons of Carolina Reaper sauce and some nice crispy kale and save yourself eating all those calories which truth be told few of us need. I'm tellin ya, people, this is what God had in mind for the yard bird when He created it. Drew's get's it right. Consistently. Y'all go! read more

That finger licking food Lovely gem of soul food cooking. The warmth of hot melting mac n cheese with that overly moist fried chicken at every crunch. Spicy catfish as awhole or fillets with homemade tartar sauce with a splash of pepper sauce on the cabbage. Many choices to find that warmth of goodness that will suit your tastebuds. read more

Best chicken I've ever had, super crispy and very juicy. what happens if you kill yourself let him go great price. Peach cobbler was amazing too. read more

This is the place to go for good soul food. Catfish had a light breading with spicy seasoning. The fish was flaky and delicious. Didn't even need the sauce. Chicken was perfecting fried it was moist and the breading was crispy. Added some hot sauce and it was perfect. Yams were sweet and tasted more like a dessert than a side. Mac and cheese was creamy and melts in your mouth. Also ordered the peach cobbler with ice cream. The warmth of the cobbler paired perfectly with the cold ice cream. Ordered it with two scoops of ice cream to share. This was a perfect way to end a great lunch. Left here full and happy! Best soul food in Fort Worth! Only warning is that the parking lot is very small. So street parking is the most likely option. Well worth the short walk. I also recommend skipping on the cornbread. It was a bit dry and over baked. However, that's not the reason why I came here and will stand by my five stars based on the main course and sides. read more

I visited this place last week.Listen..save your money. I ordered two plates.One smothered pork chop and a fried chicken plate.The chops were thin and tasted freezer burnt.The sides lacked seasoning,they were tasteless.Fried chicken was greasy and tasted like it was precooked/prepackaged then refried upon ordering. Both plates were inedible and had to be thrown away. No exaggeration,everything was horrible. I hate wasting money and this trip was a waste of time and money.If you want good soul food;try Mrs Juicy's Soul Food.I don't plan on visiting this establishment again. read more

Coming to Drew's is a family tradition for us. We have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. You absolutely cannot beat the catfish, collard greens, and fried okra.

Came from Arlington and I was not disappointed. I am excited to try more food from the menu. I really enjoyed the catfish.

Scratching my head. Why is there no phenomenal soul food in Fort Worth? Now look. What I got was certainly acceptable. Small catfish dinner with mashed potatoes n Mac n cheese. Got a slice of cake for dessert. Almost 20 bucks. Sticker shock. Well I figured its gotta be damn good. Not good but DAMN good. Naw. It was just good. I could have actually done without the sides as they didn't stand out a bit. The spicy catfish was a different take and I liked it but $17 with the cake worthy? Naw Service was interesting. One very nice lady waitressing, taking to go orders and packing up to go orders. Go girl! When asked why they weren't opened the day before when its listed they are open, she replied we decided to take the day off. Alrighty then. I tried it. I'm not rushing back or recommending read more

Soul Good Southern Comfort! My wife and I have been dining here for almost 7 years. We've tried every entree and side on the small menu over those years. Since the tiny dining room is currently closed, it's pick-up only. On our most recent visit I got the large fried chicken, legs and thighs only with black-eyed peas, mashed spuds and a pint of cream gravy. Wife got the small smothered chops with double mashed and a half pint of smothered gravy. The proteins were very good, and sides are still served "season to your taste" style. We're so glad the local community has kept this place going during the current pandemic. Keep it up folks! read more

Beale Street on The Bowie If you've ever been to Memphis, you know Beale St is the soul food capitol of the world! Well, Drew's Place is right there with the best the home of the blues has to offer! We had the fried catfish sandwich, fried chicken, cheesy broccoli rice, Pinto beans and French fries. Of yeah, and some Texas toast and delicious cornbread! Ooooh Weee! It was all good! Can't wait to head back and take some friends. Parking is scarce, but inside there is plenty of room and its got a great vibe. Loved the old school R&B they were crankin' and loved my visit with the sweet wife of none other than Drew himself! You gotta go, it's a Bowie Classic for the last 21 years! read more
