The front of the closed restaurant

Really was excited to try it checked online to see if they were open took the drive because I heard great things and not only were they not open they looked closed but I know their not because my brother got food from here 2 days ago and bragged about it so it was just very annoying because the stigma with black businesses is that we open when we want too vs our hours of operation their signage says open 11am it's currently 2:53 pm I've tried calling and etc no answer so just disgruntling that indicates poor service out gate:

Perhaps other folks have had better experiences with Mattie's fried fish than I did recently. The fish in my order, along with other items in the basket such as toast, fries, shrimp and hush puppies, were fried way too hard. Every item except the fries was not seasoned and was one step away from being inedible. I also received no lemon slices with my meal. The only thing that really saved this place was a family member's fish po boy, which apparently was good. I might try this place again, but with reservations.

I really like this cat fish and fries basket I got at this festival! The catfish are crispy and the fries are crispy & flavorful the only thing is I wish they would have seasoned the catfish a little bit more. It was giving a more bready taste, but I still did like the flavor & the crunch. Just wish there was just a little bit more seasoning. But overall it was a good food experience!

ALL I HAVE IS THREE LETTERS OMG The fish is so flavorful and crispy well seasoned. You must try it it's worth coming back to.

Catfish and fries

Whew, chile! I LOVE ME SOME CATFISH! But this here was next to the worst I've ever had. It didn't seem too fresh and as if it were frozen while already battered. 3 days later and that fish is still in my fridge. I do not waste good catfish. The burger was dry as hell. The end. I gave them 2 stars instead of 1 since they're black owned.

I'm always down to try something new and also support a local small business and I am SOOO glad I stopped by. The guy who took our order and served us, I'm assuming the owner, literally blew me away. His catfish was so good! So impressed. He was super friendly and made everything to order. We will definitely be back for round two.

You get plenty of fresh fries or tater tots with your order as well. Pricing compared to quality of food is great. It's a whole flavor party in your mouth! Customer service is ALWAYS on point from the drink counter all the way to the kitchen staff. The owner is friendly and attentive to all the guest. He makes sure things run properly and that everyone has a smooth experience! I drive 40 minutes across town at least 3 times a week and I'm never disappointed. I've turned all of my friends and family onto this place and they all love it as well. Even in the midst of the pandemic, they have not missed a beat and are practicing safety, social distancing and employees are wearing protective gear, mask, gloves etc while handling food and interacting with customers. Don't sleep on this place. It's definitely the bomb!! I'm a customer for life!!

Unfortunately my server Asia wasn't the most welcoming or friendliest...I attempted to get information on the menu since it was my first time and she gave the impression she didn't want to be bothered.

I just won't go there...

They're big, juicy and packed with flavor!! I love to get the mix & match cause that way I get wings, tenders and fries. The young lady at the register that took our order was so nice. She told us to sit where ever we'd like and to come up and order when we're ready. This place has gone up in price due to inflation so we paid $31 for the mix and match (that has gone up from $15 to $18) & and 5 piece wing, and a drink. The vibes here are pretty laid back, every time I've came up here it's never been too packed for me. The food came out in like 15 min which was good because they cook your food when you place the order. Overall I think this is still up there on my fav wings. So if you thinking of stopping by then you definitely should!

They also offer a range of flavors, for the lemon pepper people to the spicy buffalo folks to the fruit sweet lovers. I just wish they would tone down the salt. It can be overwhelming.

I've had a mix of experiences with wait times, but this most recent visit was very quick! Very laid back spot for a late night craving.

My other pics are blurry whoops!…read more So, I have never dined in at a pluckers. I have had it through like DoorDash. Usually it's from the Woodlands location. Today we decided to have a self-care day. It is also national tequila day. It was around 2:30 in the afternoon when we got there, the main dining room it was actually pretty full and so was the parking lot. There was only two of us the way it was five minutes, maybe. We were sat at a table, and our server, whose name was Nat she was so cheerful, and very friendly and welcoming. If we ever go to this location again to eat, and I certainly hope that she still works there because she had the best personality of anyone we interacted with that worked there. So we got the fried pickles and the fried cheese, which honest to God I've never seen cheese sticks that big in my entire life then we also ordered 20 wings. We brought 10 home. We were able to get four sauces for the wings. We got the Cajun dry rub. We got the Dr Pepper. We got five plane with a side of the raspberry chipotle (OMG the raspberry chipotle was so good and the heat doesn't hit you. It takes like a minute or two before the heat starts to hit. But so flavorful.) We also got the gold rush. So for me the Dr Pepper wasn't very good. It's just my opinion. It was very very sweet and that was it which we knew that it was a mild flavor, but it didn't taste like Dr Pepper. It also didn't taste like barbecue sauce. I didn't care for them, but the person that I was with like them. The Gold Rush. Was absolutely amazing. This will always be my GoTo favorite. The thing that I love the most about Pluckers - and I wish my picture wasn't blurry, but if you love wings, they never fail to follow through with the size and the meatiness of their wings. We are old school wing eaters. And a few things that we have always noticed because we're not originally from Texas, is finding a place that has good sized wings and not these little tiny baby wings that look like they came from the pigeon. So, all in all between the excellent service that we got from that and I don't know the other girl's name she was expediting our food. They had forgotten our celery and blue cheese, and she went and got it for us and I didn't catch her name. But Nat - she was so personable and funny and on it like we didn't really have to wait for anything. And she was absolutely delightful as a server. I certainly hope that she is there when we return. And I was going to say something to the Manager about how excellent her service was and how great she was but they were busy and I've worked in restaurants for years and even though you love to hear the compliments it's kinda hard when you have a full house and you're running around crazy and you wanna take care of a customer if they ask for you, but she was so busy working her butt off that we didn't wanna stop her from what she was doing. So thank you, Nat for a wonderful lunch experience today we hope to see you again! We also had a few draft beers. Then we each got a Michelada.

We were a table of 8 and ordered two chips and queso orders and the chips were so hard and bendy? because they were drenched in oil. Aside from the chips the fried Mac and cheese were so small except for one of them. I always hear how this location is the best but in all honesty it has let me down each time I've been here, meyerland is my go to. The wings were good though. Our server was very nice though

We both ordered the two-piece meal, which comes with baked beans, coleslaw, and a piece of bread. I loved EVERYTHING! The breading on the chicken was unlike anything I've had before. It was perfectly crispy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of kick! The baked beans were honestly the best I've ever had. They were sweet with a little hint of spice, which I loved! We also ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. I don't typically order these, so I don't have much to compare them to, but I thought they were good! The breading was flavorful, stayed intact, and had a nice crispiness to it. They also came with ranch, which was a nice touch! The service was excellent throughout our visit. Everyone was consistently attentive, friendly, and helpful without being overbearing. One fun perk of this location is that if you purchase a drink and bring your cup back on your next visit, your drink is FREE! My husband and I love collecting cups from local restaurants, so we thought this was such a fun little bonus! The restaurant itself was clean and had some really cool Houston memorabilia displayed on the walls, which was fun to look at. There was also plenty of parking, even during Saturday lunchtime! Overall, we had such a great first experience dining in! Between the delicious food, friendly service, and fun atmosphere, I can definitely see us coming back. And I'm already thinking about those baked beans!!

I enjoyed their fried chicken, which for around $12, came with a thigh and leg, along with ample amounts of coleslaw and fried okra. Even I, as a voracious eater, could not finish all the sides. The chicken itself was beautifully fried in peanut oil, and truly one of the best, juiciest, fried chicken pieces I have ever had. This place is an example of simplicity at its finest. If you are in Houston and craving some down to earth fried chicken, Gus's is the place to go!

I've been visiting this Houston staple for over 25yrs for sure back when I first moved to Houston and worked down the street on Richmond/Beltway. You can't go wrong with the lunch special....1/4 chicken with 3 full size sides. I always go for the rice/bean mix, boiled red potatoes, & the chicken soup. All for $9.99.

First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.

I decided to go for a wrap with a side of their savory spinach. I also ordered their Mango Tropics smoothie. Now I will say that I am used to a sugary smoothie but this smoothie was pretty good without all the extra sugar. The savory spinach was really delicious. And the Santa Fe wrap was good too. I am a sauce person so I did request for extra sauce on the side. It was a pretty good delicious meal overall. I would definitely recommend checking them out and trying something off the menu. I would definitely go back again.
