I ordered the pork chops, which were seasoned to perfection, and the mac and cheese was absolutely delicious. My husband had the catfish and didn't leave a single crumb on his plate.

My review doesn't have any photos because we started eating and it was so good that we didn't have time to take any photos. So the family and I are on vacation in Galveston, Texas. We already knew that every place was going to try to sell us on how good their seafood was. We went 2 days trying to give some of the local spots a chance but they simply did not have any flavor. We decided to try Allen's since we checked a few reviews on YouTube. When I tell you that the food was seasoned, had tons of flavor, and made me and the family feel like we were at grandma's house on a Sunday after church!!! All plates come with rice and gravy. We tried the fried shrimp, fish, pork chop, chicken and the meat loaf. The fish was tender and fried just right. The chicken was moist and fresh. The pork chop was juicy and seasoned well. The meatloaf was seasoned and tender. The rice and gravy was good. The yams were hittin. The greens were well seasoned and just plain good. The cabbage was tender with a little spice. The ambiance was small and quaint. You can tell this is a locals spot. Everyone is welcome. The service and hospitality was very warm and receiving. The owner and line server that helped us and ran the front were awesome. If you're in Galveston and you're looking for some real deal soul food, Allen's Kitchen & Grill is a must!!!!

It might have been a blessing in disguise Yelp recommended this place and we gave it a shot. We almost did not stay to eat because today was takeout only the staff said. We noticed chairs outside so opted to stay. We chose the baked chicken, the meatloaf and the fried fish. Our sides were Mac and cheese X's 3 ( so glad we did) pinto beans abd the green beans. EVERYTHING was seasoned nicely, the food was hot (except cornbread and rolls which was unfortunate) and quantities were perfect They did not have togo drinks today ( suggest to offer in the future). But we asked for water and they happily accommodated which was nice since we don't live here. All around it was a great experience and we will definitely recommend this place to friends and family! Food quality, temp, quality, variety and cost all a plus Staff attitude, accommodation all a plus.

The food (ox tails, greens/cabbage, cornbread dressing) is really 5/5, it was seasoned wonderfully and the portions were good for plentiful leftovers. The live DJ was nice and music was very good. When I walked in, there was a not-so-long line, but it took forever. I can only assume they were waiting for food to be prepped before moving to the next person. It was cafeteria style and I really couldn't tell what the wait was.

A large, soft, salty pretzel and creamy, decadent dip made this app a 10/10. Then we tried a couple of cups of gumbo which had the best roux I have ever tasted... Another 10!!! I could just order a pretzel and a bowl of gumbo and be completely satisfied with my meal here. For our mains we got the sticky chicken and fried catfish. Sticky chicken was a little sweet for my taste 7/10 and the catfish was perfect, another 10/10. The sides were good but the jalapeno blueberry coleslaw stole the show. If you're ever in the area this restaurant is a must try! They'll be moving to a new location soon and I hope it has the same cozy feel as this original location.

Unfortunately, this was a take-out order, so I didn't check my food until I drove away. How can you not mention you're out of potato salad and give me a double dose of green beans, which tasted like they came straight from a can? The mashed potatoes certainly tasted like they did. Before I opened my to-go container, my sweet potatoes were so runny they spilled out of the container, down the sides, and dripped into my bag. It was a mess! The fried chicken tasted burnt, possibly fried in oil that needed to be refreshed. I was hoping for a better experience considering the highly-rated reviews, but unfortunately, I didn't get it.

Server was very friendly but she was the only server so it was a little slow, but well worth the wait.

The chicken tenders and chicken fried chicken were both so tender and juicy with a tasty crunchy batter. All the sides were homemade goodness all around. The only thing I would recommend is the cornbread is served cold and I would ask for it to be warmed next time. It was still a good sweet cornbread and I devoured it. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.
