The sides were a little less flavorful and I was disappointed. I ordered green beans, cabbage, red beans and yams. Yams were good. I'd order chicken and Mae my own sides.

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?

Staff were friendly, food was really good, and the place was "cute". Will definitely go back if I'm in Lake Charles again. Oh, and the coffee was off the chain. I asked about the brand and they told me it was Douwe Eggberts. I found it on Amazon and bought some of it. I couldn't duplicate the aroma and flavor, though. Maybe I bought the wrong grind, or they have a version for commercial kitchens, or it's the water, or the coffee maker...who knows! Anyway, theirs was better than mine.

Your food will come on a styrofoam plate with plastic ware no matter if taking to go or eating in. They bring your food to the table but that's it as far as waiting.

The gravy wasn't quite to my taste but it was still good. Would definitely go back again.

We walked in and checked out the menu before ordering at the front. I got a shrimp po boy with sweet potato fries and a side salad. My fiance got the turkey club with onion rings. We thought the sides came with it, but realized after we were charged for an onion loaf appetizer which explains why we got the whole bloomin' onion! lol! Since we were on a long drive we unfortunately couldn't take leftovers. The portions were HUGE! My sandwich was good, but I only had half off the bread since it was just too much for the sandwich. The sweet potato fries were amazing and also huge. I just had water, but my fiance got the frozen root beer and we both loved it. Tasted like an Italian ice! The girl working asked if he was sure he wanted a small since it was super tiny. He went with medium and it was huge. Everything was huge. Great local spot surrounded by all chain restaurants.
