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.

I finally made it to Krab Junkie!…read more I went on Thursday to get the $20 Boil Pack it was so delicious. I got mild and it was the best to me, not too spicy, a great balance of season and spice. The $5 margaritas are so good, actually taste the alcohol. The cashiers are so kind and explains and describes the orders very well. Clean inside and outside. I've heard they do have live music on certain days so I definitely plan to go then. If you want a delicious boil pack go to Krab Junkie!

I'm sorry, this is sad. I was excited to try this place out but now I'm convinced influencers…read morecannot be trusted. Some girlfriends and I went to patronize Krab Junkie and in the end if I could give them 0 stars, I would. When we arrived parking was a battle to say the least. Then we stood in line for over 45 minutes. I think the only reason why it wasn't over an hour was due to people leaving the line and giving up. Yet once at the counter was when things really went left. They were literally out of majority of the menu. At that point just close business for the day. Truthfully my friends and I should've left, but we wanted to support. Nonetheless scooping the scene was interesting. The kitchen area which is openly exposed you can see the food preparers on their phone, frozen bag of corn on top of a microwave, open liquor bottles on the food set up area, and just lots of health code violations left and right. Yet as an avid traveler meh imma still see it through!! Yet bruhhhh the disappointment went downhill once we got our food. My Mac n cheese tasted like clarified butter and overly used milk (no taste). Then the dirty rice was just chopped up unseasoned ground beef mixed in white rice (no taste). The cornbread tasted olddd and wasn't sweet. Y'all the collard greens tasted SWEET and so did the shrimp boil! Now I will say I liked the fried shrimp but that was it. The icing on the cake was the owners getting spicy and rude with me under the influencers comment via IG and that let me know I'll never patronize them again. Word of advice, take the criticism as feedback to do better. Not bash a customer because of their experience.

Hank's is a true Houston gem. This you-buy-we-fry, mom-and-pop spot on Lockwood in the historical…read more5th Ward has been holding it down for 30+ years, and it shows in the food and the love they put into it. The drive through moves fast and the staff make ordering quick and easy. I got the fried fish, fried shrimp, and french fries, and everything was fresh, hot, crispy, and made to order. The fish was perfectly seasoned and flaky on the inside, the shrimp were golden and crunchy, and the fries came out hot and satisfying -- no soggy nonsense here. Oh yeah and a slice of white bread...You can tell nothing is sitting under a heat lamp. Prices are cheap, portions are generous, and the quality is way better than what you'd expect for the cost. Just a heads up: cash only, but it's 100% worth stopping by the ATM. And don't skip the lemonade -- easily some of the best lemonade you'll find anywhere. Perfect balance of sweet and tart, and it pairs perfectly with the fried seafood. If you're looking for authentic, no-frills, old-school Houston seafood done right, Hank's is a must. Support local spots like this -- they don't make them like this anymore.
