Here for Lone Star Football Clinic and coaches mentioned this as one of the best places to eat. What a flavorful menu that was delicious! Everyone's plate was cleaned. This will be a yearly visit! Friendly staff!

Fried Chicken Mashed Potatoes and Red Beans !!

Don't let the exterior fool you, this place has some of the best southern soul food you can find in B/CS. My friend Kaleb told me about Shannon's and so of course I visited for lunch this week with my roommate. We were first skeptical when we saw the shoddy nature of the building and front door, but once we opened it we found everyone awesomely friendly and welcoming. You can tell that most of the people there are regulars and it helps add to the charm. Now onto the food. ERMAHGERD THE FOOD. I thought they had kidnapped my grandma and held her hostage in the back to make mashed potatoes and beef tips. You know the beef tips are good when they fall apart on your fork from the tenderness. Along with the beef tips and mashed potatoes I had cornbread and macaroni. Everything was very filling and delicious. Halfway through the meal my roommate commented that he felt like he was eating Thanksgiving dinner - he had roast chicken and stuffing. I tried it and it was equally as awesome. Make sure you get their sweet tea. It's definitely sweet. Next time I will come by before 10:30 and get their breakfast. Chicken and Waffles? I feel like this place will completely dominate those from at Sully's. Also the entrees apparently rotate daily so you'll never know what awesomeness you'll get.

I added the lousiana hot sauce and got extra dressing.

See all

Amazing soul food with a friendly staff. Deserts are homemade but sell out quick. Iced tea makes everything taste better!

There was such a variety of food there and it all looked so good! They gave out banchan, and my…read morebibimbap was delicious, I haven't really gotten korean food in Cstat but this was pretty good!

I went with my family to celebrate a birthday here and we brought along a friend and a baby. The…read morewoman (most likely the owner) was extraordinarily accommodating and made sure we all were comfortable (and we were!). Once the table was set, most of us ordered unsweet tea and it was tough to drink. It tasted like stale Whataburger tea. I asked for lemons and Sweet N Low but they only had Splenda. She brought out the sides for our table and the kimchi was okay...nothing that had fermented long enough. The cold radish was a highlight. The potatoes were tough and I did not even try the jelly... For our entrees, all of us got bulgogi except for my mother who got the spicy seafood soup. Our friend tried ordering the sautéed chicken but the waitress literally said, "is it your first time? You get bulgogi. I promise." She completely hijacked his ordering experience and ended up with a dish he didn't like. None of us liked our food (except my mother). "Mom, y'all (referring to me and her) make better bulgogi than this at home," said my brother. I don't disagree...the texture was rubbery and it was tasteless. This being my 3rd time here (I always get some form of bibimbap), I expected the same quality. The presentation was nice but so much was lacking. Great service, C-tier food.
