The point is plentiful, delicious, so much to choose from and the customer service is next to none! The restaurant was filled with diverse patrons, the mood was set to great old school music. The only draw back is that they are not closer to my home town. I would be there daily! The price was $25/plate and worth every penny. We had enough to eat a full plate that night at home.

Unbelievable, phenomenal, number one! I don't go out to Beaumont much, but how have I've never…read moreheard of this place!!?!!!!??? the food is simply amazing! Everything is top-notch. Also, the customer service is phenomenal.! everyone that works here treat you like family and super nice to you. I am so glad I stopped in today. I love how they keep the place super cold in the summer because it gets real hot in Texas. Food: this is some of the best food I've had in a long time. The beef tips remind me of a lot of Burt's , meat bar in Houston, Texas, who shut down right after Covid. The beef tips over white rice is amazing. So tender and so good my God how can you make food this amazing? The macaroni and cheese is phenomenal as well. So were the candy yams. The cornbread is great. The gravy that goes over the beef tips is simply the best. The hamburger steak is full of flavor as well. Once again, this is some of the best soul Food I've had in a long time. Top-notch customer service. Real nice people working here. I will definitely come back here anytime. Easiest five star review of written in a while. We need someone to come do a YouTube video on this place because this is what you call a hidden gem.

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?

The half portion of chicken fried steak was huge! I couldn't eat it all. The green beans were so tasty. A roll was served on the side that reminded me of those delicious rolls I used to eat when I was in school on the school lunch tray. Mouth watering! I was too full for dessert, so I ordered a slice of the banana split pie to take home. Wow! The crust was flaky and crisp. I'll be dreaming about it!

These people go the extra mile in all the food they put out!!! From the excellent/buttery/perfectly fried catfish (plate lunch) to the homemade English pea salad on the salad bar, everything is homemade and fantastic. In a world where everything seems to be mass produced/processed/quick and easy over quality this place brings you back to a time where people still cared about what they put on your plate. Every single thing on my (meat & 3/plate lunch) Id swear to be made from scratch... and not just that but made with love... like I was at my mommas or grandmas!!! Just plain old good food!!!

Occasionally all you need is a good game, a cold beer, and something tasty to snack on, and this…read morespot delivered exactly that. I came in with one goal: find a comfortable bar seat, watch a soccer match, and enjoy an appetizer and a beer. Mission accomplished! There are two entrances. One that brings you right near the bar and another at the front where you can be greeted and seated by a server. I opted for the bar and kicked off the evening with a beer and the skillet queso. Let's talk about that queso for a second. It was memorable. There was something about the flavor that really stood out and had me going back for "just one more bite" more times than I'd like to admit. The bartender was attentive, there were plenty of TVs showing the match, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and easygoing. It was the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy the game. I'd definitely come back for another match and next time, I may have to venture beyond the queso and explore more of the menu.

Wife had the gumbo which was amazing and, contrary to what others are saying about the okra making it slimey, was not the case at all. word to the wise, if you love alot of rice, maybe order a little more on the side.....but it was amazing! I had to go with the chicken & waffles because why not! And, was not disappointed at all. It was so much that I had it for lunch at work the next day! Everything has an extremely solid flavor and will definitely be coming back even if it is way out of our way! we honestly felt like both dishes could have come from one of those hole in the wall establishment in the French Quarter.

A small one crawling on the wall near our table and someone from my party saw a larger one crawling near the kitchen. And boy was it stuffy in there. I asked our waitress if she could move a floor fan near for some relief and to detour the gnats, she said she go ask but she never came back and when she did she completely forgot my request. We weren't seated in the greater eating area where it was cooler and maybe where the gnats were less of a bother. The food was delicious and homemade, you can tell it was made with high quality ingredients and that Southern skill that you can only get from helping Grandma in the kitchen. BUT the roaches made us lose our appetite. Such a shame. It seemed like the building went down. They don't seem to put as much effort into the condition of that place as they do the food. Dusty ceiling fans and crummy floors. I appreciate the homey vibe but it looked really junky, more stuff piled in unoccupied corners as before. I gave a lot of things the side eye, I mean it there has to be maintained asthetic. They charged an 18% gratuity on my tab for a party of 8 but I arrived with 4 people, the other 4 had already been there, paid and was almost done with their meal. Then of course the cashier/waitress still mentioned an additional, optional tip. I didn't think that was fair. At the end of it all she wasn't the best waitress.
