What a nice little local comfort food place. I was immediately greeted by Terry with a handshake when I got to the table, very nice server enjoyed his humor and helpfulness. Got the daily special, which was catfish cooked my way fried shrimp and two sides. Everything was good, the shrimp and the catfish seemed like it was already cooked and just warmed up, but it was still a good flavor so if it was fresh, I would've given a five instead of four. I'm thinking they were pre-cooked due to the fact that it was the daily special. I will go back and try the grilled catfish or salmon next time since the flavor was very good.

Fried Catfish dinner
Vickie P.

What an amazing time we had. Drew was our server and he did an outstanding job. We never wanted for anything. His service was impeccable. The food was great as usual and the restaurant was decorated all festive for the holidays. The ambiance was very family friendly.

Chicken fried steak
Ashley C.

Everything we ate here was top notch fried pickles and jalapeños; Came with ranch and horseradish sauce. Perfectly fried and the sauce was 10/10. Chicken fried steak; a fan favorite. So tender, well seasoned, and huge. Fried shrimp with blackened fish; shrimp had good batter, slightly tough but delicious. Fish was the star, so perfectly cooked. We got broccoli cheddar rice and macaroni. I could have eaten just sides and still ranked this place 5 stars.

Food was amazing and so was the service terry definitely made us feel right at home such an amazing experience for our first time can't wait to come back and try some dessert! Also the restaurant is nice country feeling and clean loved it!

It has been a while since my last review so I thought I would update it. Not much has changed which is good. My most recent visit was for the chicken fried steak entree that comes with mashed potatoes and gravy and with a side salad for $18. The salad was still good but I noticed that it no longer comes with shredded cheese on top like my picture of it from 7 years ago. Too bad. The CFS was large on the plate and tasted good along with the spuds. This is one of the better CFS's in the area. The waitress was prompt and friendly. Pappy's is a good place to eat.

Mixed fajitas for one
Susan H.

Mixed fajitas for one. The fajitas were definitely tasty, however, the rice was undercooked and the beans were bland. Server was nice and attentive.

Blackberry Cobbler

There are a lot of different food spots to choose from in the Energy Corridor. This was one of the only restaurants that was still open for different past 8 PM. I was surprised to see that it was EMPTY for dinner when I came by at 7:45. There were probably 4 other guests in the whole restaurant. I sat down at the bar area and Michael came to take care of me. Service was a bit slow which was surprising because no one else was there... took a while to get my water and to place my order. I got the Chicken Florentine with the Texas Smashed Potatoes and Fried Okra. I then couldn't pass up homemade blackberry cobbler for dessert which hit home with a nice scoop of vanilla on top! There's plenty of bar seating and regular dining, it was just quiet and slow. Seems like a good local watering hole to check out.

Service was very good here as is the atmosphere. Had the chicken fried steak and ribs/sausage plate. The portions are big and everything was really tasty. The ribs were super tender.

Visiting friends and they took us to The Henry for brunch today, and we had a great experience!…read more The outdoor patio was cute and cozy with plenty of seating, while the inside was aesthetically pleasing with cool décor and lots of seating options, including high tops, tables, and booths. Our server, Cameron, was upbeat, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. We started with two appetizers. The Short Rib Pot Stickers had great flavor and a nice crispy crunch on the bottom from the fry. My only suggestion would be to serve the ponzu sauce on the side. We enjoyed the sauce, but would have preferred dipping the potstickers rather than having them sitting in it. Or less of it in the bowl to prevent sogginess. Next up was the Spicy Tuna & Crispy Rice with fresno chile, avocado, cilantro, scallion, and sweet soy. The flavor was fantastic! As the name suggests, the rice was perfectly crispy, and the tuna was fresh with just the right amount of spice. I ordered the Korean Prime Skirt Steak, and WOW -- fantastic entrée! The steak comes with double egg fried rice, snap peas, bok choy, pickled shiitake, mint, cilantro, and ginger. The steak was cooked perfectly, and all of the flavors worked so well together. Nothing overpowered the other ingredients, and every bite was delicious. Three of the other four at our table ordered the Wagyu Burger with fries -- two with regular fries and one with Parmesan truffle fries. Unfortunately, the burgers and fries arrived warm rather than hot, and one diner sent his back. The team took care of it immediately. The manager came over personally, apologized, and made sure the situation was rectified. The replacement burger and fries came out perfectly cooked, which we really appreciated. Overall, quality food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere made for a wonderful brunch experience. We would definitely come back!

What a great spot for breakfast. We were staying in the NASA area and headed back to San Antonio…read more I wanted to make some headway and not get stuck in beltway traffic so we checked Yelp and found this diner in the Katy area right of I-10. Not too busy at 9:30 in the morning. We had a delightful waitress (I didn't ask for a receipt so I do not know her name). We asked for coffee to start and she said it would be a moment because she was brewing a fresh pot. That's so nice instead of serving some old coffee on the burner. I'm trying to eat more protein and ordered the Loco Moco - Hawaiian style plate with sticky white rice topped with homemade burger patty, brown gravy and two eggs. It was great. And she asked me how I wanted the burger cooked. Medium please. It came out perfect and was a large patty. It really hot the spot. My wife enjoyed the Fast Breakfast - Two eggs any style, two pieces of bacon and a side of buttermilk pancakes. The pancakes were nice and fluffy and I didn't even get offered a piece of her bacon, darn it. We will be back when we are in the area.

Tried out a new spot because I was in the neighborhood…read more The Stuffed French Toast is really a French toast sandwich (2 halves) with meat, egg & cheese. I found myself taking one side of the French toast off & putting syrup on it so I could have the effect of both a breakfast sandwich & just french toast. The accompanying breakfast potatoes were very good; Crispy squares & well seasoned. I tasted the pancakes. They were light. They get a little gummy in your mouth after the syrup sinks it but they were good. One side buttermilk pancake is $3.29. The service was good, server very friendly. The place is very unassuming from the street & the interior decor is a diner. Prices are reasonable. One absolute must get is the FRESH juice. Note this is different than the regular juice. Fresh squeeze orange juice is $8 vs ~$4 for regular orange juice. Perhaps a little pricey but so, so good. I got a fresh pineapple orange juice mix. Yum!!

This was my first experience with Credence and the atmosphere was new, modern and a little noisy. The lunch gnocchi was my first experience with gnocchi (in particular cornmeal gnocchi) so I have nothing with which to compare; I would probably not have it again but it wasn't bad. I have had plenty of beet salads and this didn't make the top ten. The grilled tuna salad my husband ordered rated a 0 on a scale of 1-5. The tuna may have been grilled as advertised, but there was no evidence of it, and there was absolutely no taste to it. I would have expected there to be some seasoning, but again, no evidence. The green beans were so crunchy they might as well have been fresh-picked and the sauce over the snow peas was so tasteless, Ranch dressing would have been a huge improvement. I could only eat one, and I really like snow peas. Until they get a better chef, I will not be returning.

The ambiance was beautiful too, and the speakeasy was such a fun bonus. The monkey bread was the perfect way to start ! Warm, soft, and dangerously easy to keep eating. The baked potato was probably one of my favorite sides; it was super creamy with this crusted layer that basically melted in your mouth. The NY Strip steak was perfectly seasoned and definitely lived up to expectations. The branzino was fresh and cooked well, but the seasoning was a little too subtle for me, so it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. I also wasn't a huge fan of the cabbage. Overall though, Credence absolutely delivered. Great food, great service, beautiful atmosphere, and plenty of dishes I'd come back for.

The dining experience was fantastic from start to finish: Complimentary Bread: A wonderful touch to kick off the meal. Chicken Piccata: Generous serving, wonderfully seasoned chicken, and flawless angel hair pasta. Very lemony in the best way possible! Gumbo: Tasty, though definitely on the saltier side (and I love salt!). For my chicken piccata and two glasses of wine, my total before tip came to $47.80, which felt very fair for the quality. To top it off, our server was wonderful and checked on us faithfully, and even the owner walked around to make sure everyone was enjoying their time. From the atmosphere to the service and the food, it was an all-around great experience! Noise level can be high with the live piano music. Not the best place for serious talks. Thankfully we didn't have that on our agenda. We thoroughly enjoyed our expereince.

Cauliflower bites - so this is part of their lunch menu but since it was close to noon they went ahead and let us order it and what a magical gift it was; crispy and tender with this delicious ranch-y sauce; this was a hit among all of us Breakfast tacos (4/5) - I normally get potatoes but she didn't ask and I didn't offer so ended up with bacon and eggs. They were good American style breakfast tacos. Pancakes (3.5/5) - so they now don't do the large pancakes but have 2 or 3 small pancakes. The pancakes are still fluffy and delicious, I did the two. The staff y super nice. The manager brought us a lighter and plates for the cake. We did share with him. Would definitely come back.

You place your order, they hand you a number and your drink glasses, and you grab your flatware over by the drink station. They have these cute little trays to carry your cups, napkins, and utensils so you are not awkwardly trying to juggle everything back to the table. After you sit down, they bring your food right out to you, so no waiting around the counter. ​The deviled eggs were delicious, honestly some of the best I have ever had at a restaurant. They come topped with a tiny piece of crispy bacon. They do offer fried deviled eggs, but I am more traditional, so that is what I went with. You can get an order of 3 or 6. We went with 3, and the second I tasted them, I wished we had gotten 6. ​For my main, I got the fried catfish and asked for it extra crispy. It came out piping hot, served with homemade tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and two sides. They use a cornmeal batter just like my mom used to make, and I absolutely loved it. The tartar sauce was great, too. I would honestly go back just for the fish. For sides, I picked the greens and French fries. The greens tasted just like real greens should. That took me straight back to my mom's cooking, and my mom could seriously throw down in the kitchen. The fries tasted fresh and homemade, definitely not out of a frozen bag. ​I am usually not one to clean my plate and almost always have leftovers, but the portions here were perfect. I ate all my catfish and about half the fries and greens. ​My friend got the chicken pot pie and said it was good. I took a bite, and while it was not bad, it was nowhere near as good as my catfish. For his sides, the mac and cheese was good, but the green beans really did not have much flavor at all. ​Overall, it was a great meal. I can't wait to go back and try a few other things on the menu.

The aesthetic and ambience draws you in to experience a soco gastronomical experience, but what you get is an embellished Cracker Barrel or Luby's quality dish! YIKES. It's not very clear once you walk in that you walk to the register to order your food. Someone does bring it out to you. Self serve on cutlery, napkins, and drinks tho! I asked the girl at the register if she had any recommendations and I know they specialize in Southern Comfort food but I was too chicken to try anything!!! No pun intended, but I did order the chicken tenders and fries. We will get to that! She was friendly and made some great suggestions, which I appreciated. I was slightly surprised by the price point for the food, but then when we actually started eating, I was no longer surprised. Here's what we ordered: - Fried deviled eggs with bacon - chicken pot pie with a side of beans and rice and broccoli - chicken tenders and fries And the SAD complimentary bread. I mean SAD. No wonder it's free. The only two things I'd recommend are the red beans and rice and the deviled eggs. DO NOT get the chicken tenders and fries. The fries were drenched in grease and old oil, soggy and something you'd get at Five Guys or Wings and More. Dark, greasy and disgusting. The tenders were nothing special. My hubs found cartilage and bones in his chicken pot pie and the crust was super thick and bready!! Came out in a "scalloped potato" or "bread pudding" style dish rather than a traditional circular dish. It was around 5pm when we got there and the restaurant was practically empty on a Wednesday night! That was red flag number One! Their coke fountain drink was pure syrup and water and no one checked or maintained the machine so the carbonation had run out! Had to ask that to be switched. Red flag number two. It took us forever to get our food and while I saw servers walking around, no one was really checking to see how our food was or how we were doing. All in all, pretty disappointing and won't be returning. But we did give it a good faith effort and try some place new. sadly, it just wasn't a hit.
