    Chicken fried chicken
    Angela Q.

    Mom's country kitchen is a hidden gem. We wanted a quick hearty lunch and went somewhere we knew would get us in and out. Our group of 13 got there around 11am to a delicious selection of food from fried fish, beef tips and gravy, king ranch casserole and chopped steak. They also serve breakfast items made to order. I selected the fried fish, greens and Mac and cheese. The portion sizes are huge and our bill was very reasonable. They had fresh rolls and cornbread by the drink station and plenty of seating even for our big group. The workers came around to refill drinks and bring containers to go. Several people split a banana pudding. My food was good, the best was the Mac and cheese and greens mixed with the fish, which is how I ate my leftovers later. Great selection and don't sleep on this place.

    Would I recommend MCK..... MOST DEFINITELY. Excellent breakfast Yelpers and Excellent customer service. I ordered the Fat as a Tick breakfast... Short stack and eggs with double meat. Coffee was great and the food was hot and well prepared. MCK is a hidden gem in H-town. So let it be written... So let it be EATEN.

    This was actually a really good breakfast lunch restaurant. The staff was very friendly, they helped us with our order. Explained how everything works to place an order. The dining area was large open space with quite a few tables. We showed up near their closing time and the place was quiet. The food was very good with large portions. Definitely worth the stop.

    My breakfast!

    Great homemade food! I came in for late breakfast, walked in, and the cashier asked if I wanted breakfast. I guess she could tell I had just woken up. Anywho, I ordered pancakes, bacon, eggs, & hash browns. Food came out hot, the bacon was cooked to perfection. The pancakes needed some help, kind of dry. Added loads of butter & syrup to drown out the dullness. The eggs were cooked to perfection, over hard. They had some fresh corn bread & buttery rolls, too bad I can't them. They looked really delicious! Good food, good service thanks moms!

    Roast beef with green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy

    My husband and I were on this end of town to pick up our youngest son and decided to give this place a try, as we both wanted some "down home cooking" and comfort food. I had relaxed my usually restrictive diet for the holidays and was getting in all the goodies I could before the fun was over lol. Unfortunately, we caught MCK right before closing, so the options remaining were limited. we settled on the roast beef for both of us. I got green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy and my husband got two different types of potatoes because he's determined to give himself a heart attack. Based on the food, the rating would be at 3 simply because it seemed to have been in the pans under warming lamps a long time, and wasn't very fresh, but that was partly our fault for arriving at the time we did. I added a star because the service was very good. They were very welcoming even though we got there close to closing time, and our food was okay even if a little on the dry side. I could tell if we had gotten it fresh it would've been much better. Also, I really wanted to try their meatloaf so I was a tad bit disappointed that they had run out. At any rate, please do give them a try because I think it's a great local spot, and I love these types of restaurants. Restaurants in the comfort food niche seem to be few and far between as quality at most restaurants, especially chain restaurants, has diminished greatly in recent years.

    I can't believe I drove by this little gem so many times without realizing something was there! I found it online and we decided to take a family friend. We were torn between the steam table and the menu but decided to order off the menu. Soooo many great options. The breakfast options were way better than any other breakfast place and they are huge! I was craving fries so I decided to go with the Yardbird, which was a really great choice for me. I was skeptical about the aioli that came in the sandwich but it was really good! Crystal was just the best. She took such good care of us! Jon Michael was so welcoming when we first walked in. I will definitely be back here more. Especially now that I know it's in my neighborhood! It's a pretty busy place but they seem to accommodate everyone very well in a decent amount of time. It does feel like a mom's kitchen!

    Hot Dish Line made fresh everyday.

    So we decided to try this spot after reading a yelp review and we weren't disappointed. I tried a dish off the line (chop steak, mashed potatoes, sweet corn, and brown gravy) I also added a side of corn fritters. My wife had the yard bird potato and she absolutely loved it. Our son had the cheeseburger and said it was delicious. The Homemade corn bread was spot on as was the sweet tea. The staff was so welcoming and attentive and the environment was warm and cozy. If you're in the area this is a must stop and don't take my word for it look at the packed parking lot that's all you need to know.

    First time in Houston and I'm so so so so glad i yelped a place to eat instead of going to a fast food spot. Moms kitchen came up and DAMMMM it did not disappoint! It's close to the IAH airport with plenty of parking and a lot of seating inside. As soon as we stepped in we were greeted by the staff and everyone was so sweet! Dammm southern hospitality is real out here and I wish i could bring it back with us. The dessert menu is so creative that i wanted to take it with me we got the chocolate chip cookie to go (they were out of cobbler and cinnamon rolls) that should tell you how good their desserts are! Also, everything is baked and made there! Our food may not look the prettiest but man oh man did it hit the spot! We'll definitely return when we visit Houston again and we'd let all of our friend know to stop in.

    It's been 12 months since I've been hear thanks to COVID. I sure missed that Slap Yo Momma Good Cookin' .. Sausage n Greens !!!

    This place has been a 5 Star place since I walked in !!! Best Country Cooking in the Houston Area !!! The staff is so friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the service is great. From mom (world traveler), to her daughter in law (owner and hard working woman), to Rhonda (cashier), and all the waitresses, thanks for always taking care of us with that Texas Hospitality !!! WARNING - The later you come the less choices you'll have. They only cook so much of each item. But there is plenty of choices if you get there early.

    Brisket Hash, Chicken and Waffles, happy hour oatmeal

    The food was exceptional and the service phenomenal. John Michael took our order and was very kind, welcoming, and a great energy to be around. Ronda brought the food with a smile, checking in on us. We had no expectations of this place, but will certainly be coming back! I was there to try the brisket hash but would come back for the service and the breakfast burger. The breakfast burger may be one of the best burgers I have ever experienced and cannot recommend this burger enough.

    Daily lunch special.

He asked our food order first. We had to ask him if we could get drinks first. 3) When we did order we watched our drinks sit at the end of the bar for 10 min until I had to go retrieve them myself. 4) The food was INCREDIBLY mid for it being that expensive. Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.

They had live music on, and from the looks of it if you want to be a part of the show you can as they also have karaoke it looks like. The gentleman that greeted us was so nice and made us feel so welcomed! It wasn't one of those "oh I have to be nice to these guests because I'm getting paid" type people, you could really tell his niceness was genuine. I felt like I was at a fine dining restaurant. Our server was also very nice, and super helpful as I asked for a wine suggestion and she hit the nail with her suggestion. She brought a small sample for me to try before serving it. The food itself was delicious! We got the onion rings appetizer, and you could tell they were made to order. They were super fresh and also crispy. The chicken parmigiana was good, and they were not stingy with their portions at all. The picture I took doesn't do the dish justice. I will definitely go back to this place, as their food, service and overall experience is a great one when you dine in.

We…read moredrove into the mostly defunct strip mall, found the restaurant down on the corner, walked in and sat down and then perused the menu in depth. We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
