The food was very well presented, I had the meat loaf, sweet potatoes, and corn bread. Meatloaf was very well portioned savory and tastefully good. Sweet potatoes were very tender. Good portion flavor was amazing.. (For me a bit too sweet), but overall good. Corn bread, now exactly how it was described, very velvety it melts in your mouth. For the flavor and density was very surprised it wasn't crumbly. Service was very welcoming, didn't make you feel overwhelmed for being a first time customer. No rushing while trying to order, which for me is very important when trying a restaurant for the first time. Ambiance very comfortable and laid-back. Definitely will try this hidden gem again read more

My husband is from the south, Virginia to be exact, so my review will be biased based on that. I am giving a very generous 4 star review mainly because of the woman who was plating all the food behind the counter and because this place is a soul food spot not southern. I came here today a little after 5pm and did not get a greeting like everyone else did when I walked into the door. They were pretty busy with to go orders around this time. There is an entrance area where you order and pay for your food and a separate area for dining in. I ordered a catfish fillet with Mac n cheese and sweet potatoes and fried shrimp basket with fries and greens to go. I ordered at 5:15 and got my food at 5:45 and let me tell you, it was the longest wait of my life. I think the A/C must've been broken because it was hot in the waiting area and it didn't help that one of the front desk girls kept complaining about them still being open for another hour. There were a bunch of flies everywhere and the front area doesn't seem to be cleaned throughout the day. I also feel for the woman who puts the plates together because she's doing it by herself and was constantly asking the front desk girls to bag the orders. She stayed calm though and still greeted people as they were coming in. Now for the food. The shrimp basket was $25.99 and the catfish was $19.99. The shrimp was good, kids approved. The catfish was good too. All the food was made fresh to order so I can appreciate that for quality. Onto the sides. I think the French fries were accidentally season with sugar instead of salt. The greens were ok, just drenched with garlic. The Mac n cheese, ehhh. I was looking forward to the Mac n cheese but it wasn't as cheesy as I was expecting but tasted ok. The sweet potatoes were really good, probably my favorite side out of the four. The cornbread was moist and good. Overall, food was good but definitely overpriced. However, I do support small businesses but still think it's a bit overpriced based on portion size. They do require you pay for your food before you sit down if you are dining in. This may be because of too many incidents where people dine and dash. I do think that the lady behind the counter putting the plates together needs better help. No offense to the young girls they have working there but either train them or get someone who can actually do the job. If you are looking for true southern food, this ain't it. Texas food vs. southern food are 2 completely different things which I am learning the hard way now having lived here for a year. read more

On my planned staycation to Fort Worth I wanted to try a small business to support. I was also craving a piece of HOT fried fish. I came across Nama's Kitchen ON YELP. We had the pleasure of meeting Nana herself. Me and my mom enjoyed speaking with her. She was pleasant and friendly. I loved how she was very down to earth. My mom took a photo with her. My server was the sweetest and most polite person. She checked on me and my mom multiple times. She was friendly and helpful. So I must say my service was welcoming and AMAZING! I felt like part of the family! Now it's not a fancy place, but it was clean and cozy. Like a mom and pops place. Condiments are provided on the table. Even roses that were real are in a vase. You can dine in or they have a carry out side. Well I chose fish since that's what I wanted. The 2 piece filet meal comes with 2 sides. They will bring your food out in a plastic container. So if you have left overs it's already set to go. The food came out hot and fresh. The fish was fried nicely. I wish it was seasoned a bit more for my liking. It was pretty good though. It was a great size and again fried to perfection. The hush puppies were really tasty. The fried corn fritter was delicious. The pickled tartar sauce was unique and I loved it. OMG the cabbage was so DAMN GOOD! This stole the show. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned with love. It touched my soul and I wanted to lick my container. The Mac and Cheese was a NO for me. It was like black pepper and cheese sauce. It was just blah and II didn't even eat it. However, others may like it, but it wasn't that great. Sorry Nana! Overall I had a good visit! I will definitely come back and EAT when in the area. The cabbage won me over. I left feeling happy and full. The southern hospitality was FANTASTIC! read more

Stopped by Nana's Kitchen during my MLK weekend trip to Fort Worth, and it was a soul food highlight! I got the two-piece catfish with sweet potatoes and mac & cheese--fish fried to crunchy perfection on the outside, juicy and full of flavor inside. My son loved his honey BBQ wing special with fries; the sauce had just the right sweet kick. The place sparkled with cleanliness--even the restroom smelled fresh like citrus. Bussers kept tables wiped down constantly, and the staff was super friendly, checking in to make sure we had everything. Met the owner too; she's genuinely warm and customer-focused, which made the vibe even better. If it weren't an hour from Dallas, I'd be weekly. Fort Worth soul food done right--thanks for the love! Tip: Go hungry; portions are generous. read more

Nana's Kitchen - Soul Food Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We end up leaving for a couple reasons. When we first arrived not greeted but asked if we were doing to-go or dine in (I'm not saying people don't have bad days but your at work, cheer up). We chose dine-in and when we got to the table asking to pay before I even ordered food is a little bit much. Why not just take the order when we walked in. I still looked over the menu to kinda feel out the vibe and service. Well I attempted to order the chicken fried chicken the waitress asked did I want Brown or White gravy. I then asked were both homemade and she hesitated as if I asked something wrong and kinda a blank look. And at this point I knew we wouldn't be staying. I did order 2 sides just to try and give a review besides the service. I ordered the greens and sweet potatoes to go. So is the sit anywhere and pay now normal?? (My first visit) read more

Nana's Kitchen - Sweet potato and greens - Soul Food Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

First time at Nana's. Restaurant is very clean. Staff is friendly and waitress was attentive. Had country fried steak with mashed potatoes and corn and cornbread. Steak was tender and well seasoned and quite tasty. Corn was also tasty. The gravy was good but lukewarm. The mashed potato's were good tasting but cold. My daughter had the mac and cheese instead of corn and said it was excellent. The cornbread is also excellent. Stop in for the cornbread if for nothing else. read more

Ordered the fish combo (*included 1 fish filet and 6 shrimp) with greens and fries and cornbread. The cornbread was cold and didn't looked done. The shrimp was cold, fish was okay but I've had better. The greens were ok but had better. Asked for some hot cornbread and they stated, they were making it fresh and it came back out just heated and not made fresh..still showing not being cooked thoroughly. Fries were supposed to be the crinkle cut and they were shoestring. Asked for plain water..received water with lemon. The cake was not fresh. My two girlfriends food was terrible too..they ordered the meatloaf and baked chicken and it was not very tasty. The baked chicken was overcooked and the meatloaf was too thick and not tasty. The waitresses kept forgetting items that we needed. The atmosphere was ok. I will never come here again. read more

Nana's Kitchen - Soul Food Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Good food choices quick service, hot food well seasoned. I would recommend it. I drive a little distance to get there, but it's worth it.

From entrance to exit it was an awesome experience. I was there with a friend to order a "to go" meal and stayed so long talking to my friend that Nana asked my name, I told her and she said she had called my name several times and my order had been ready. It was sitting on the to-go table. The hostess came over, thanked us. I'm home now, have eaten. The turkey wings, greens, green beans, and carrot cake was perfect. I will be having mini plates for two days. AND they Door Dash! I'm all IN! read more

Mac was great and better then the photos I saw on yelp. Yams were excellent and sweet. Catfish was good not amazimg amazing. Cornbread & black eye peas were great! read more

Yes food was good definitely will go back if I'm on that side of town again ! Customer service was on point as well ! Great experience thanks Nana read more

Food was decent, but Sundays will be take out only for me if I come back to Nanas! The "regulars" was then only one who received decent service and constant attention! 5/10 min wait just to get a menu, the waiter system is highly unorganized, you will sit down and Then have to find someone to take your order, then every waiter that at pass will ask you every 2 min if you have been helped, even had to wave someone down just to get a refill. Fried food is cooked to order and other food will come out as ordered, The ambiance was typical Sunday vibe, they even take up half the sitting area to have a live singer and band. read more

I went to this place for the first & last time today. I ordered a salad with fruit. It took 25 minutes for it to arrive to the table. As I opened it the top was beautiful but as I started to eat the lettuce it was some sort of spring mix that was verrrrry old. Some leaves were yellow & green & some leaves were withered,black & extremely soggy with black fluid so that also means that the salad leaves failed to be washed by kitchen staff. I was just sick to my stomach. Now I know why they ask you to pay first before receiving their uncleansed filth they are currently serving human beings. And it didn't help when the waiter had dandruff all over the top of the shoulders on her black uniform shirt. Thats just plain GROSS. read more

Food was great and customer service was great as well. You either call ahead or order inside when you get there. Food takes so out 15-20min to be ready. You wait in your car & they'll bring it out to you. You get 2 sides with every entree. I got the 2 piece fried fish with mashed potatoes (you can choose white gravy or brown) and green beans, comes with cornbread and 2 sauces. the total came out to be around $21. The young lady who took my order was soo sweet & kind. The food tasted AMAZING. The fish was so well seasoned that I didn't need any of the sauces. Crispy and hot. Mashed potatoes were buttery. Green beans were just your basic green beans. I barely finished the entire box, it was a lot of food. read more

Very good food with ample portions but it's a bit pricey. I recommend. The fried catfish is awesome!

Loved to support small businesses so we thought we would check out Nana's Kitchen. It was great! Hubby had the whole catfish with greens and green beans. I had the fried shrimp with Mac and cheese and greens. We also got 3 wings to try. Let me tell you that those greens are so good! They are full of garlic and have a kick! We are so many of them that we didn't get to the green beans. Hubby loved the catfish and I liked the shrimp too. The catfish was hot and fresh and seasoned well. The corn nuggets were really good too. Hubby liked the Mac and cheese and I believe it complimented the greens well. The wings were ok, but the catfish and greens were the hit of the meal. Overall, you have to try them if you are near. read more

Visited on a Sunday. Food was cold and was not seasoned, you would think after waiting a while it would be hot. Only one nice lady greeted us. I see a lot of good reviews so maybe this was a off day. read more

I have seen several recommendations for this restaurant but a visit requires a planned trip as it is so far away. Finally today I was able to visit and my impression is very mixed. The dishes that are good are good but the ones that aren't make you say "what the hell" out loud. You will order inside and wait in your car for it to be brought out. Plate 1: 1 smothered pork chop with cabbage and Mac and cheese. The pork chop was tender enough to cut with the plastic fork and knife. It is slightly under seasoned considering it is pork covered in gravy but can be corrected. It is served with too much gravy for the container provided so there was a lot of leakage that made the other plates messy. The cabbage is all the white pieces and no green but tender. The Mac and cheese should be considered a punishable offense - pale watery unseasoned. It leaked out of the container the same way the gravy from the pork chop did. Plate 2: 1 fried pork chop with greens and Mac and cheese. This pork chop was better seasoned. Greens appeared to be from a can but they did add additional season. Mac and cheese see above. Plate 3: lemon pepper wings (no fries). Best dish. It appears that these are full size wings that have been cut down so they are a good size. They were well seasoned and had the right amount of crunch. Dessert: lemon pound cake. I was worried thinking that the cake would be old but it was very moist and had the right amount of sweetness. I was tempted to get another piece. read more

The restaurant was clean and roomy. I was there with two others, we all ordered the same thing (one fish filet), however, two of our orders came out together and the other some 20 minutes later. My two sides were the greens and sweet potatoes with cornbread. The food was hot with the exception of the cornbread which was cold as ice and it was obvious it had been pull directly from the refrigerator. The fish was well seasoned and is cooked to order. The greens were good, but they don't tell you they are spicey and full of jalepenos (so if you dont like spicey food, this side is not for you). The sweet potatoes were not to my liking. The portion size is generous. The only drinks they serve is kool-aide, lemonade and water in a small 8 oz styrofoam cup. I got the lemonade and it was to sweet for my liking. The prices are comparable to other soul food restaurants. read more

10/10! Literally the best food I've had since being in Dallas for over 2 years! My whole family loved their meals. & our desserts were delicious! I will drive this hour weekly! SO GOOD! read more

Nana's Kitchen - Catfish fillet 2, yams & cabbage - Soul Food Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I didn't want to give a star at all for this mess... we went to this spot because of reviews on TikTok.. now TikTok y'all know y'all wrong or just not use to some good old soul food. This was a hot mess, catfish was soggy... meatloaf was sweet and look like a big brick... cabbage taste like garlic, mac and cheese I can't even say and the oxtails were still on the ox they were tough and no taste.. Nana needs to get revamped $97.00 worth of trash I should have gone to the grocery store read more

I was spending sister time with my sis and wanted to support a BOB. Nana's came up on Yelp. We stopped on the day she was running a fish special . One fish filet, 3 shrimps , fries and Texas toast for $5z my sister ordered the special and i ordered a burger and fry because I fried fish myself the day before . Now mind you the burger and fry came out to $22. But I was like okay I will get it ... supporting the business . My sister said the fish tasted a little fishy but it still had a decent flavor . The hamburger however was the thing that really disappointed me. I lifted the burger which was burnt at the bottom. The bottom bun had so much grease in it that had I ate it I probably would have been sick. I sent the burger back. The young lady brings back the plate and stated that she was told to refund my money and it may take 7 to 10 business days . I then asked could my burger be remade. Her response was well I can ask . So my sister asked well sis what you going to eat... I guess I eat these shoe string fries. So my advice, if you are going to charge $22 for a burger and fry at least let me enjoy my burger . No way I would have served that to anyone . And even if it did not come out right , you could have remade my meal so I could have enjoyed my lunch as well . Not bringing me the food back . Very dissapponted. read more

Grub hub- so this post is purely on the food I believe if you go to the store front there are daily specials according to IG! Rosemary chicken- cooked to perfection! I prefer only dark meat and there was two pieces of thighs/legs! Mac- cheesy, yummy goodness just how I like it Mash- I just got over a stomach bug so not sure it was overly salty or just my taste buds are off Cornbread- needed some butter. A little dry for my liking Overall everything was seasoned well and I'm just glad it's close to home! Can't wait to try other dishes! read more

Had the rosemary chicken. The chicken was over cooked ( dry ) and the rice was undercooked. Also ordered the chicken fried chicken. That had no seasoning. Cabbage and cornbread were good. Service was good. Won't be back. read more

We arrived at Juicy's, close by and they closed at 4:00 so we opted to try Nana's. Just a couple miles away. Read the reviews and was genuinely excited. I ordered the Rosemary Baked Chicken with Greens, green beans and Mac n cheese. It was good but was more of a lemony flavor. The greens were fantastic. We tried the Turkey Wing (it was the last one) it arrived cold, mashed potatoes and another side of Mac n Cheese. We both liked the Mac n cheese. My sister ordered the wings and while the two other dishes arrived quickly the wings took an hour and 15 minutes. Seemed to be a "ruckus" in the back. Owners were very apologetic. Experience was good, but not great or even exceptional. A couple hits, a few misses. Everyone is very friendly. read more

I have never been disappointed in the taste and portions of the food. Service is usually quick, but I usually go when it's not very busy. The whole catfish is my favorite. read more

was going to visit but the woman on the phone was extremely hostile and uneducated. I asked an extremely simple question which was , "does the mac and cheese have meat in it" which she responded "of course it doesn't" Thust the reasoning behind my comment that she lacks education; any smart person would know I was asking because I do not know The answer and it would be my first time visiting. Lost 2 customers ! read more

Called and was on hold for 10 mins. Food is pretty expensive for the quality you receive. We ordered the Catfish with crawfish etoufee, Boudin balls, Gumbo and Red beans & rice. The boudin balls were soggy and unseasoned. I was expecting heat from the gumbo, there was not any and it had this red greasy film sitting on top. Red beans & rice were great! read more

Drove up during our ataycation this week because we wanted to support a black business and we picked the right one. I had been wanting candy yams. These were so good mixed with my smothered porkchop which was amazing as well. My hubby had the catfish and we both made happy plates , so there's that. Mac and Cheese was a win. The food was really good and the girl with 2ponytails was so apologetic for the wait. Wasn't a wait too long for me. Parking not the best, but there's a family dollar across the street, I'd bribe them for half wirh food. Strawberry cake with icing was so moist and so good. Fast service. read more

Friendly place with a good selection. I've probably eaten here about 4 times. I am however reluctant when placing my order over the phone. Because they require you to pay over the phone as well. Which means I have to provide my debit/credit card by phone. I recently placed an order by phone for the Cajun Fried Wings they sell Thursday, Friday and Saturday advertised on FB. I was already in route while placing my order. So when I arrived my food should have been fresh. Although the wings were seemingly fresh, just a little too much sauce. French fries were ice cold. read more
