Great! Came from Dallas for work and found this on Yelp. Ordered Tuesday special bc I love turkey and dressing. This was delicious! And I am highly picky about my food, so that says alot about the cook. It's a very small restaurant and it was busy so I got it to go. Wait time predicted..20 mins since they were backed up with the lunch rush...actual wait time 5 mins. Super sweet girls at the front counter. Huge portion size, great price. Highly recommend. read more

Great, friendly staff and hearty food. Had the turkey special. We will definitely be back to try them all! read more

What a great hidden gem! While visiting Corpus Christi, we stumbled upon this restaurant. A great surprise. It's a small place most wouldn't spot driving by. The food was incredible. On the day I was there, the special was turkey and dressing. It didn't "feel right" ordering turkey and dressing in July. Nonetheless, I plunged into an early Thanksgiving feast. Ohmigosh, the special came with turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce and roll. Everything was delicious - but let me tell you, the dressing... Wow. I've sat down for lots of Thanksgiving meals, and this has to be the best dressing I've ever tasted. My family ordered burrito bowls and chicken salad sandwiches. We shared tastes of everything. Nothing disappointed. Each entree was exceptional. If ever visiting Corpus, make this a stop on your travels. I highly recommend. read more

This is a very small place but the food is absolutely incredible. Please try this place you'll not be disappointed, I travel a lot for business and have to say I'm overwhelmed how good the food was. read more

Do not let the inconspicuous location or small size fool you. This is home cooking, nothing super fancy, but absolutely delicious. What a joy to have a choice that's not a prefabbed chain franken-processed meal. I especially enjoy the chicken dishes with that rich, perfectly seasoned and slow roasted flavor of chicken "essence" that I can't described except it's like mama used to make. There are daily special choices and a regular but somewhat limited menu of hot dishes, salads, and sandwiches. They cater too which we've enjoyed at my workplace, and let me tell you - it was amazing. I've enjoy the king ranch chicken, the Joseph trio of pasta dishes, the marry me chicken, and the chicken salad on croissant. Their hours are limited so I still haven't made it in time to try their meat loaf special or the Tuesday turkey dinner that sells out. But I will. You can bet on it. read more

I had the chicken salad croissant with a fruit cup and chips. Was filling and delicious for lunch. This place is hard to find though. It's across from the car wash and Subway near Alameda and Robert Dr. Next time I'm gonna try one of their hot meals. They have specials each day. read more

A little tight on the menu, but it's a small place. I got the daily special (for Saturday) Lasagna and wife got one of the Burrito bowls (chicken) to go. The daily menu is very different from the daily specials. I've included a pic of each. I'm sure the daily specials might shift over time as it's in chalk on a chalkboard. Weekdays, there's two specials, Saturday...just the one. My lasagna was filling, satisfying and pretty much what I was expecting. Wife says the burrito bowl reminds her of bowls offered by a chain that starts with CH and ends with a trip to the bathroom. Joking aside, she said it was tasty, but not something that qualifies as Mexican food other than the name on the menu. Given the ingredients, I'd agree. Kinda hard to put a brand on what type of food offered here is...but it's good quality food. And the people running it are really nice. We'll be back to try some other dishes for sure. read more

I had the chicken with feta and ciabatta and my husband ordered the beef bowl, everything was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious, tasted homemade I was so happy to try a well seasoned and juicy chicken breast! So goood! I wish they opened until later :( but we will definitely try again! The place is small and cozy. read more

Stop by for the Alfredo special. I ordered the chicken and shrimp Alfredo the daily special for Friday. It was creamy. It was thick. It had flavor. The serving was a very large serving of noodles. The chicken breast was cooked very well. The shrimp was grilled perfectly. I really enjoyed this establishment. It's very small very quaint. It's cozy. The weight staff was friendly, polite, and very professional. Enjoyed the fresh pasta. Looking forward to going again to try out a different daily special that they have lunch hours only from 11 to 4 not very many Italian places in the Corpus Christi area, but I'm glad that I stopped in. This is my favorite go to place for Alfredo read more

First visit and the food was delicious! Plan on returning. The daily special was Mammas Enchilada Casserole. Great flavor and generous portion. My friend had the chicken salad croissant. Also very tasty but portion seemed a little small. Friendly staff and fair prices. Give it a try. It's a small place so try and go early. read more

After seeing their posts on Facebook for months & wanting to try I finally made it! The turkey, mashed potatoes, and corn were delish..pretty good serving as well.. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu items! read more

My 1st time to eat here. I've heard great reviews about the turkey dinner which I got to go for my Thanksgiving. Dined in mushroom Swiss chicken , it was tender flavorful. Will return. Thank-you read more

Great tasting food and portions are pretty big as well. I'm a big guy and these portions fill me up. The ladies working the counter are super kind. The venue itself is a little on the small side, but I got my food to go, so this wasn't an issue for me. read more
