A visit is absolute gem of a spot years ago with my dad and my son, and I still think about it. We ended up driving out here twice in a single week and trust me, we do not live down the street. It was a true drive to dine situation, but worth every single mile. The food is incredible. Every single side we order was flawless and made to absolute perfection. The candid yams were fantastic, and the cornbread was soft and sweet like cake (tasted just like the way my dad makes it). I even tried greens for the very first time here and surprisingly they tasted great. I ate all of them and drunk the juice. Don't let the crowd scare you off. There's usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly. Plus, the service is so friendly that the whole place just feels like family if you're looking for an authentic welcoming spot with amazing comfort food this is it. No wonder when you grew with display it says number one soulful spot in Houston.

We hit the jackpot!…read more I was hungry and looking for tasty food on our way home. I took a chance on The Greasy Spoon and what luck. This place is GREAT. We just went with the food that was ready to go. And even went back for an extra side--Mac n' cheese for my son. Whew! Lots of food, and it's all sooooo good! In addition to the mac n' cheese, we tried the chicken gumbo, chicken with sweet potatoes (they're sweet) and greens (so tasty!), chopped steak with green beans and mashed potatoes. I will most certainly be back!

We had some friends over and were treating them to dinner so we got a Family feast with extra fries and large rice. (We got the chicken double fried for added crispness) So for clarity it's only tenders and wings. Not chicken pieces like dark meat and white meat. So I was a little disappointed with that. Anyhow the chicken was seasoned well, I got mild and it was crispy and well done. Fries were seasoned fries those were ok (maybe because we waited half hour from driving home to eat they weren't crispy) The dirty rice was so good. Flavorful and delicious, loved every bite. We had a creamy and delicious Mac and cheese also. On the other hand I felt like it was a little pricy for the family meals but hey... it was delicious so I guess it was worth it. They also have burgers and the sauces we tried were the jerk chilli sauce and jerk lemon pepper. Those were great choices. Only wished we had gotten a bigger portion of the sauce or more of the smaller ones for the amount of food in the family feast.

Finally decided to try Southern Jerks after seeing all the hype on Instagram. For some reason, I…read morethought it was much farther away, but it turned out to be only about 15 minutes from me. Located inside a gas station, so it's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. Luckily, there wasn't much of a line when I visited. The staff was friendly and polite. I was in and out in about 20 minutes. One thing I didn't realize beforehand is that they specialize in chicken wings and chicken strips rather than offering a full range of fried chicken pieces. They do have a few non-chicken items, though. I'll definitely be back to try the jerk burger. The chicken itself was hot, crispy, juicy, and well seasoned. Their dry seasoning has a unique flavor, but I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, my order was missing the dipping sauces, so I can only judge the chicken on its own. It honestly doesn't need sauce, but I'm on a lemon pepper quest and was reaaaallllly looking forward to trying the jerk lemon pepper. The mac and cheese was probably the best I tried anywhere. Cheese pull and everything. Better than most sit down restaurants. I was also pleasantly surprised by the dirty rice. It's the first place I've found where the rice isn't mushy. The fries were well seasoned and came as crinkle-cut fries, which I actually preferred. I noticed that the fries shown on the menu and in some customer photos look different from what I received, so they may be experimenting with them. If so, I hope the crinkle-cut fries stay. I appreciated that they include jalapeños and rolls with the chicken orders. I ended up chatting with a few other customers, and they were there for the same reason I was: they'd seen Instagram videos calling Southern Jerks "the best chicken in Houston." That's a bold claim in a city with so many outstanding fried chicken spots. I wouldn't personally give it the top spot, but it absolutely holds its own and is well worth trying. It was fun watching the chicken being freshly fried while waiting for my order. My only real complaints were the missing sauces and the price. It's a little more expensive than I expected, especially considering the location, and you have Frenchy's, Popeyes, Timmy Chans, and a few other local spots all there competing. Overall, Southern Jerks serves flavorful chicken, excellent sides, and the best mac and cheese I've had anywhere. While I don't think it's the best fried chicken in Houston, it's definitely worth visiting to decide for yourself.

They were also out of Kool-Aid, and they didn't have any sides, but they were about to close. I might need to go back and try again because I don't think I got the full Chicken Plus experience.

I asked was the service fee gratuity that had been added to the bill. I was told no that when you dine in you your charged the service fee, which is why most people order and pick up but that a gratuity could be added separate. So to be sure, I asked again it was confirmed that they charge you a service fee to sit in their restaurant and eat. I did write a note on the check that the service fee should have been disclosed upfront because it would have made a difference as to whether I stayed or not. Unfortunately, I will not dine here again.

The first server that started my Auntie's order was very kind, now the second server that was about to start my order didn't go well and made me ready to leave. She didn't talk kindly and asked a weird question, however the first server greatly took over and started taking my order she made it much better. I selected oxtail, black-eyed peas, cabbage, rice and gravy, and cornbread. The black-eyed peas and cabbage tasted just like mine taste when I make it was delicious, the rice and gravey was delicious too. The oxtail was yummy and seasoned well, it could be more tender though. The cornbread was too crumbled so I couldn't eat it. I also got some butter cookies with pecans, they were too hard I couldn't eat those either. Upon checking out the cashier was so kind and included our beverage option included in our order. There was a box of Halls with a label that said Get One Free! This is a nice clean store and I definitely plan to go again to try more of the good looking food like pork chops, turkey necks, mac and cheese and greens.
