Let me be clear up front: the food was amazing. We had the fried chicken wings, catfish, sweet potatoes, cabbage, fried okra, black-eyed peas, and cornbread--and not one thing disappointed. The flavors were on point, well-seasoned, and cooked with care. I especially enjoyed the fried chicken, the cabbage, and those black-eyed peas--pure comfort food done right. I do want to share one note for transparency. The catfish entrée came with one piece of fish. It was a nice size (unfortunately I didn't grab a picture), but I'm used to receiving two fillets with a catfish entrée, so that part was a little disappointing for the price. We also ordered a catfish sandwich to go, and while this didn't take away from the overall experience, an additional piece of fish would better match expectations. Now let me give credit where it is absolutely due. The young woman working the front--Ariel (I believe it's spelled A-R-I-E-L, and I apologize if I missed that)--was phenomenal. She was cashier, to-go coordinator, and full-on mama energy, handling everything with grace, patience, and a great attitude. Even as it started getting busy (you know how folks roll in after church), she still made space for friendly chit-chat while keeping everything moving. Another thing I truly appreciated: the place was clean. And for me, that matters. Spotless, inviting, and the only thing in the air was the smell of that delicious food--no distractions, no off-putting odors, just good cooking doing what it's supposed to do. The food is served in to-go containers and everything is cooked to order, so expect a little bit of a wait--but honestly, who would mind waiting for food prepared this fresh? Overall, this was a great experience with great food and excellent service. I'll definitely be back--and hopefully next time there's just a little more catfish on the plate. read more

Yes, excellent food. We've been there a few times. Twice at the old place on Rittiman and a few times at the Walzem location.

I went on a foodie tour me and my friend and that place was one of the stops we did on that side of town. This isn't my first time here. It is nice to see that it is owned by ladies... very friendly service. Not sure how I feel about the food. It was A OK... nothing to write home about. We did enjoy the chat with the lady and the effort put in to make us feel welcome. I will still go back and maybe try something else other than fried food read more

At the moment we entered, a cordial greeting. Important. Hard to find today and all restaurants/business should strive for. Mr. AOK's got it. 1st time going, most definitely not the last. Looking at menu of items, the hostess asked... y'all here for the Thursday special turkey? Asa first timer, we didn't know but we both said... sure. And it was absolutely phenomenal. Dark and light meat Turkey, Stuffing with gravy,.... It came with two sides. I chose mashed potatoes with gravy and fried okra. The friend chose collard greens and okra. A more than plentiful plate of delicious food. The the most awesome hostess said, let me tell you about our desserts. She had me at Banana Pudding. Exceptional Banana Pudding. We will definitely be back. We have many other combos to choose from. Well done, Mr. AOK and staff. Keep it up. read more

Southern food at its finest‼ I had the smothered pork chops, dirty rice, mashed potatoes and cornbread! Everything top shelf and FRESH. Chops perfectly done with brown gravy. Dirty rice with a little bit of zip and better tasting than anywhere else. Cornbread was moist and flavorful. Oh yes.... I had grape kool-aid. My buddy had the beef tips with rice. Smelled delicious. Service was by a gracious waitress who kept our kool-aid glasses filled. Very clean and cozy establishment. I highly, highly recommend ‼ My only recommendation; change the name to Mr Dang Good Kitchen read more

Down home cooking with all the classics! Cornbread, catfish, and greens. The okra is outstanding, as are all the sides. Mr A OK's is a wonderful place to satisfy the need for some southern home cooking! The staff have always been great and the entire vibe is very welcoming. read more

AMAZING! From the food to the service! The ladies are a gem for all of us!!! Loved the chitterlings (don't judge), catfish, yams, and cabbage. I can't wait to try it again!!! read more

OMG, this place was great, from the fried ribs with Asian sauce to the greens & cornbread -- really good. I'm picky about my Asian food and don't care for places that use this ubiquitous teriyaki sauce. Here, the sauce is light and distinct. read more

I've eaten this place for a few years every time I've been there I've never been disappointed. The hospitality is evident, but the food is very good as well fried chicken and pork chops, macaroni and cheese and the dirty rice are all excellent. I've also eaten their catfish and it's very good too. You can ask them to spice it up or make it slightly to order if you give them time very accommodating. read more

Best food including fried chicken , turkey with the works on Thursday, pork chops etc. best side - Mac n cheese, yams etc

Food was very well prepared and tasty! All food was served hot. Will definitely be reordering again.

Everything we ordered was delicious. I loved how fresh and hot the food came out. Definitely try the okra even if you normally don't like okra! The hospitality is also super friendly and warm. read more

Food was very bland, no seasoning at all. Very disappointed. I was expecting more seasoned food from a soul food restaurant.

The food was ok. The phone call was put on hold for 20 min. On calling back I ordered and the food was ok.

OH MY GENTLEMAN JESUS THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! I dare you to find a soul food place even slightly better than this. The food musta been touched by God himself! lol The cook here is INCREDIBLE and has skills! The place is super clean and roomy and they make you feel right at home. If you're on a diet, make this place your cheat day!!! read more

Mr A Ok's offers a traditional soul food experience. You know it's legit when there is a tv playing and bible verses on the walls My favorite part of the experience was actually the wait service and fellowship with the other patrons. I wish I'd captured the name of our server. She was a young woman who filled us in on all her favorite dishes and kept the glasses full. She had a very pleasant demeanor and gracious serving style. While waiting my friend and I chatted with ladies at another table and laughed at the movie playing on the tv. As for my meal, I had the soul food rolls which contained greens, Mac n cheese and meatloaf. Plan to share this with friends as it is a hearty appetizer and my favorite item that I tried. I also had the Mac n cheese, catfish, collards and cornbread. This plate was a solid choice. Give this local restaurant a try next time you're on Walzem Rd. read more

WOW!!! Where to begin? I had the fried chicken with collards and dirty rice. Fried chicken - 9.9/10 Collards 9/10 Dirty rice, 8/10 My friend had the meatloaf, mac & cheese sandwich with yams and his mind was blown! We then had the Kentucky butter cake, which was probably the best dessert I've ever had in my life. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and gave great recommendations. I can't wait to come back and try the ribs, and the oxtail, and the catfish and, and, and ..... read more

Good fried chicken and cornbread. For $11.99 for two piece chicken and two sides that comes with cornbread, I think it's a great deal. First one to arrive when it opened on a weekend. There is a wait time but it's to be expected since they make everything fresh. Gravy was just finished and tasted strange. I don't know if it's because the gravy was so hot it was melting the styrofoam and I was just eating the melted chemicals instead. Mac N Cheese could taste cheesier also. But their cornbread was really good. read more

I've been a fan since it opened. The food is amazing. The ambiance is...not. Just don't expect comfort...only comfort food. I had the juiciest, most flavorful chicken breast in memory. Greens & cabbage were fine. Cornbread is jaw-dropping. Words defy. I had a second piece for dessert. Yes, it's sweet. But it is buttery like no other. The tea is good too. Tonya gave ideal service. read more

Hands down, this is an amazing restaurant! The soul Rolls were very unique and flavorful. I had the fried chicken, which reminded me of Sunday dinner at my grandparents house. It was amazing! The Cabbage was so good, I was hoping for more but they were all sold out, so others in the restaurant felt the same way, I did. The last highlight was the customer service, specifically Ariel. She was amazing, nice, pleasant and handled herself so professionally when faced with a difficult customer. Her calmness diffused the situation so quickly and the difficult customer entire attitude changed, to happiness. Great job!! Again, please visit this restaurant!! read more

The Chitlins were pretty good. Be smart and put in your order at least a day prior though.

I hate this part of town, but my wife wanted to go to an Asian market so I started looking at restaurants in the area and stumbled across Mr.A Ok and thought we should give it a try. It's been a long time since I have been to a restaurant that has blown me away with the taste of their food, but Mr. A Ok absolutely did that. I ordered the Meatloaf with Mac and Cheese with yams and the wife got fried chicken with okra and fries...Oh, and we got the egg rolls of course. The meatloaf sandwich was huge and went perfect with the creamy mac and cheese. The yams were probably the best I have ever had and my sandwich came with excellent cornbread that I did not know was included. My wife loved her chicken and begrudgingly let me have one...its hard to explain how good everything was. Definitely worth the 30 minute drive. read more

The food was mediocre and served in to go boxes. I felt like they preferred customers to not eat in. The one server was nice enough but needed help as the crowd grew. The room was extremely cold from the moment you walked inside and they had an additional box fan going with the frigid air conditioner. I could not enjoy my food because I was shivering. In fact, I could not wait to get out of there! read more

First let me apologize for no photos. I sat down and was talking. Then ordered and still talking. Then food arrived and still talking. Then I tasted the food and stopped talking and started eating and eating. lol this was so good. I tried the chicken wings, and grilled catfish with dirty rice and fried. I wanted yams but they were out. Almost knocked off a star for that haha. Each meal comes sith two sides. And the cornbread js outstanding. My older son had the fried catfish and loved it. My younger son had the ribs and loved them. Alllll delicious. We are in around 530 on a Friday and were the only ones eating in, but phone orders and pickups were very steady. Definitely a place I will return to. And take photos. read more

OMG ...the best fried catfish EVER. Along with that, yams (just the right amount of sweetness) & fried okra (breaded perfectly) - nothing tasted like heavy fried (like some places often do) then a lady came in & said I had to try the liver & onions - sooo guess what I brought home for dinner... & oh yeah a cream cheese pound cake for dessert. Tonya (sp?) waitress was quick, polite & friendly. The place was super clean with biblical scriptures hanging on the wall (my kind of place )- this place is definitely blessed & I felt triple blessed by the restaurant, the staff and food! read more

Following a recommendation, I had to stop and get a meal. Was told not to miss out on the soul rolls! I was not disappointed. Got the chicken meal for my family with collards & okra. Added a side of soul rolls. It was so good, fresh, and so hot that it was still warm when I got it home to San Marcos! Was not disappointed at all! Will be back! Next time family wants to try the Mac and cheese for sure! read more

Where do I start? Wow! So it all started on an Instagram post that popped up and I knew I needed to try this place. I live about 3.5/4 hours away but figured I'd make a weekend trip of it and try a few other places while in San Antonio. This is in a small shopping center, nothing fancy but hey, so many times, the places are the best. Greeted immediately, friendly and helpful and were told to sit anywhere. It was Sunday lunch time but it wasn't busy yet. Based on the Instagram I'd seen, I already knew what I wanted....Grilled Cheese meatloaf with Mac n cheese! My friend was set on oxtails. We were strongly recommended an appetizer of Soul Rolls so we agreed. Woooweeee! Everything was amazing...word are hard to give. Cooked with love for sure. So many robust flavors. You could tell hours of cooking went into building these flavor profiles. Oxtails were fall off the bone. Meatloaf had the most amazing flavor and the Mac n cheese was cheesy, soft, and buttery. Fries were good but would have set them over the top if they were homemade fries but hey, not complaining. The entire ride home all my friend and I did was rave over this place. Next time I'm in San Antonio, I will be making another stop to try another dish. Please check this place out! read more

Food is amazing! Taste on point, portions too! Love it and look forward to turkey day

I had heard about this place but the location was hard to find. They have moved and although it's still a little away from other places, it's a little more convenient. It's clean and the seating is spaced out. The bathrooms are clean and the service is good. I tried the soul rolls. A southern spin on egg rolls. They are very good. I ordered meatloaf, greens and mashed potatoes. All very good. My spouse had oxtail. He said they were good. A little fatty but tasted good. Overall. This is the best soul food in San Antonio. The prices are little high but in Texas this is the norm for soul food due to the scarcity. read more

Have been going here for a while, not always my first choice for soul food but recently tried the A Ok's Sandwich. Very pleasant, large sandwich. Chicken fried steak, fried cheese, boneless pork chop, mashed potatoes, lettuce and tomato with special sauce. Gave a four because the bread did not hold up, way to much stuff on sandwich for this type of bread. I would recommend a big hoagie or a burger bun and I would let the salad (lettuce/tomato) be on the side. read more

I was so excited when I found this place I ordered $40 worth just for myself. I would've ordered more but fried green tomatoes were not available. While the soul rolls had me excited, the flavor was very mild and uneventful. I ordered the meatloaf with collard greens and macaroni and cheese and the side of okra. Everything was very under seasoned and improved with salt. I think the final disappointment was the young lady who brought me my drink. I tried to engage in conversation with her telling her how quiet and calm the indoor atmosphere was and she never even responded just stared at me blankly. This was my first impression and first impressions can be deceiving so I will try this location again. read more
