    Smothered Pork Chops, Rice & Gravy, Corn and Cabbage
    Cyndi R.

    First time to order from here. Grub Hub delivered and it was still hot. The portion was so much it didn't look like I had eaten at all. I ordered the smothered pork chops over rice along with corn (tasted like fresh off cob), cabbage and fried okra. Everything was so delicious and I highly recommend Granny Dees

    Food was GREAT!!! It felt like home!!! Loved it and will be back. I loved it. Had to come back to back...

    Smothered wings over rice, collard greens and cabbage. Everything flavorful and delicious. Wings extremely tender.

    Granny Dees kitchen is an outstanding soul food restaurant, a short distance from old town Spring. It's not very large, but the minute you walk through the doors the smells reassure you that you've made a wise decision. Most restaurants, even the best of restaurants do some dishes well and maybe lacking a few others. However, after ordering two meals for my wife and myself, and then ordering another meal to go, I didn't fine a single entrée or side dish that I didn't think was outstanding. The prices are reasonable there's seating available and of course takeout.

    Smothered Chicken, Mac N Cheese, Candied Yams & cornbread.  Soooo good

    Where do I begin. My wife and I were looking for some home made fried chicken. Wasn't really in the mood for large scale places. After a little searching we stumbled upon Granny Dee's! And I must say I am not disappointed at all! We got the fried chicken dinner with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. The chicken was cooked to order and was perfect! The Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious and the mashed potatoes tasted just like grandmas! My only concern was the cornbread that came with it, a tad bit dry, but warmed it up with some butter and it was perfect! My family and I will most certainly be back in the near future!

    Two bites in and .... Wow If you want to delight your taste buds and wonder why the prices are so reasonable, this place will blow your mind. Smother pork chops, rice, mashed potatoes, greens fresh cornbread(with a coke) $15.89. I am doing a happy dance.

    I have been two times for lunch. The restaurant is attached next door to a gas station and parking space is limited. My first visit was on a Thursday and I ordered a two piece fried chicken dinner of a leg and thigh with green bean and black eyed peas with tea for $12.98 with tax. The meal came out in about 20 minutes. The chicken was easily a 5. Perfectly battered and fried it was delicious. It's too bad that fried chicken is only offered on Wednesday and Thursday. The veggies were both very good in taste and it came with a moist and flavorful piece of cornbread. This meal was a 5 and made me eager for a return visit. About a week later, I returned on a Sunday for lunch. This time, I went with the smothered pork chops that comes with rice and gravy along with two veggies of which I chose the same two from the previous visit forgetting that I had ordered them then. This meal was ready in about 10 minutes. Meals here are served in to go containers and I like the way they wrap with foil the bread separately from the food. This meal was not to the level of the previous one. My biggest complaint was being given a very dry and stale piece of cornbread. You could look at it and see it was inedible. The smothered pork chops were ok but only rated a 3.5 with the rice, gravy and veggies about the same. This was not a bad meal (except for the cornbread) it just wasn't up to the same level as the fried chicken. With tax and tea it was a little over $14. I will give a 4 overall and would like to try their catfish next time unless it's a Wednesday or a Thursday.

The restaurant itself was also very clean and well kept. However, the staff could definitely improve on friendliness. There was no welcome, no smiles, and the cashier looked upset the entire time. At one point an employee came up to her and they were both snapping at each other, which is not the best first impression for new customers. You guys are first point of contact when we come in, please improve this. Also... the tea?! Guys, this was some of the BEST tea ever! So how do you run out of tea?! I do want to give special recognition to the bus lady. She was extremely attentive, constantly on her feet making sure everyone was taken care of. She kept our waters filled, checked on us often, and overall gave amazing customer service. Even when she had to tell us there was no more tea, she was still so kind and helpful. Honestly, she's the reason we would come back. The front line staff... not so much. 3 stars for the server, line cashier but 5 stars go to Ms Lupe!

We tried the hot honey chicken, baked chicken, rice, sweet potatoes, potato salad, greens, peach cobbler and mac & cheese. The turkey greens were good, and I enjoyed the mac & cheese as well. They also had a nice variety of other pork sides to choose from. The bake chicken was dry and bland for my taste, though. For our drinks, we mixed the strawberry Kool-Aid with lemonade. It was VERY sweet and had a bit of an aftertaste, so that wasn't really for me. Overall, nice atmosphere, good service and a decent meal. There were definitely 2 sides I enjoyed. The food didn't impress me enough to return.

It still was borderline of being too much salt in the oxtail dish but it was tolerable. I ordered the chicken and waffles dish. It came with eggs (I added cheese) and grits. The chicken was seasoned and cooked well. I liked the flavor of the wings but was unhappy about having hairs to still pluck out of the wings. The waffle was an average waffle. The heat being trapped inside the to-go container made the powdered sugar turn into hard crystals. I wish they would have put the sugar in the side. Not too bad for a late night food craving.

She was friendly, attentive, and made a really good espresso martini. The food and service were so good that I had to return and try their brunch! Since the Astros were playing at home, Kulture also offered specials on appetizers and cocktails. Will I be back? Most definitely! The only thing missing was a live band.

My friend grabbed the Kulture Club Chicken, and I went for the Fried Catfish and Grits. Our waitress, Savannah (pretty sure that was her name), was a gem. She didn't just take our order; she guided us. She told my friend the club had goat cheese and broke down exactly why she probably wouldn't like it if she wasn't into blue cheese. Then she looked at me -- pescatarian, hungry -- and said, "Add the shrimp and get the crab sauce on top." Best decision I made all day. The plate didn't stand a chance. I would've taken an "after" photo, but I cleaned my plate. The staff were also super helpful with parking validation and making sure we were set. Inside, the vibe is casual but elevated -- stylish without trying too hard. I'm already planning my next visit.

Being from Maryland and a seafood connoisseur, I was especially happy to see whiting AND perch on the menu, along with such a wonderful array of soul food choices. The fish was fried perfectly -- crispy on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside, and definitely not overcooked. Even better, it wasn't overly seasoned or salty. Just right and tight! And honestly, I found this place almost by accident. I was nearby when I heard the R&B playing through the speakers and felt like I was being summoned by the soulful sounds. What a gift to have stumbled upon this spot! Tiera and Renetta took great care of me and made me feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere was bright, clean, comfortable, and reminded me of home. Now I see why they say Houston is famous for its Black-owned restaurants with outstanding cuisine. Soul Goode absolutely lived up to that reputation. Great food, great music, great people, and great energy. I will be back -- and OFTEN!

Green beans were well seasoned. The turkey wings could've used a little more seasoning. Corn bread was excellent. Another area for improvement is the customer service. The energy seemed a bit "dry" compared to other black owned businesses in Houston. A more enthused greeting from the cashier or owner would've helped. Otherwise, this was a nice find!
