Smothered Chicken Breasts with Onion and Mushrooms
Carolyn C.

3.5 Stars - We stopped to get a bite on our drive from NOLA to H-Town because there was a horrific traffic jam on I-10 due to accidents and construction. The staff is warm, friendly and accommodating, and the food is decent. We had the Grilled Chicken and the Taco Salad, both of which were well seasoned and plentiful. Located in the Longhorn Complex, which includes the cafe, a casino, motel, gas station and convenience store.

Steak fingers, fried shrimp, fries and white gravy

I'm a snob when it comes to beef tips and rice/veggies. The absolute best beef tips I've ever…read morehad. EVER. Grab on order on your next visit. Absolutely incredible. Troy L

"I need to eat here some time." I kept saying that every time I crossed the railroad track on the…read moreway to the government offices. 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?
