I've visited enough times to know that the food can be a hit or miss…read more I'm sure every restaurant has an "off" day, so perhaps we visited when there was a different chef working. On our last visit, everything was pretty salty. I ordered the prime rib melt, but was very disappointed. Even the gator bites didn't taste like how I remembered them. The boudin balls were the saving grace. They were large (in comparison to the other boudin balls I've previously had) and very tasty. The sweet potato waffle fries weren't bad either. There's 35 photos that should be posted with this review.

A Little Southern Soul Food Stop in Orange, TX!…read more We stopped at Real Southern Cooking while passing through Orange after hearing it was a great spot for good, old-fashioned Southern Soul Food cooking. I had a couple of sides, while my friends each tried different menu items. Everyone agreed the food was tasty, flavorful, and definitely worth the stop! It's always nice to discover a local small business along the way, and I'm so glad we decided to stop in. I especially love supporting small businesses whenever I can. Definitely adding Real Southern Cooking to my list of places to visit again. If you're passing through Orange, on a weekday, it's worth making the stop! We'll definitely be back!

"I need to eat here some time." I kept saying that every time I crossed the railroad track on the…read moreway to the government offices. Real Southern Cooking appeared to be the tiny self-proprietor choke-and-puke that I love. Well, I tried it today. The Hunny and I have been married for 21 years, and between all of the choices, this is the one where we went for our anniversary. Real Southern Cooking looks more cafe than restaurant. Not fancy at all, just a few tables in a small area. The entire menu fits on two 8.5x11 pieces of paper on the wall. It appeals to those who say "I just want good food at a low price" - um, like me. It felt down home, too. We were surprised to see a Hispanic mama & her son behind the counter; service with a smile. The black man I expected in the back was seated at a table, finishing his lunch, and he was not only informative about the spice on everything, but friendly after witnessing us praying before eating. Some utility workers came in too, "I wish I could order everything!" It appears to be a place with a daily clientele. We both had chicken: the Hunny, chicken spaghetti, me, fried chicken. She liked hers, but found it a little spicy, like the chef included Rotel Tomatoes in the sauce. I had three small pieces, and it reminded me of extra-crunchy skin at places like Krispy Krunchy Chicken. The meat was tender and not too hot. 2 sides are included, and the amount of red beans & rice I got was larger than a mere side. Real Southern Cooking is indeed one of those places that fits the Southern diner stereotype, including the good food at a low price. Not totally Texas, but totally Southern. If you're traveling on I-10, it is located downtown, a few miles off the freeway. A few more items on the menu would take it up to 5-star territory; as you see, many Yelpers have it there now. Enjoy it now, ya hear?

I got the special of the day which was baked chicken with rice and gravy and two sides. They guy serving was super sweet to explain to me the ordering process and I had a great conversation with the woman in line before me who comes every week for the Wednesday special. For my sides, I chose the greens and mashed potatoes. Even though I got two starches, it was worth it because the mashed potatoes and gravy were worth having as a main dish! I loved the greens, too, especially since they had all the hot sauce and peppers and vinegar choices you could want. The chicken was fork tender and I left nothing on the plate. I love that they provide each guest a little wrapped package of cornbread and iced cake of the day, too. I will definitely be stopping at Pamela's any time I'm in town.

We both felt really heavy afterward, and my mom even felt sick after eating there. It was just basic diner food and a bit overpriced for something you can get almost anywhere else. However, the cake that comes with the cornbread was my favorite part. SERVICE: The service was fine. It had more of a cafeteria-style vibe, so there isn't much to say about it. AMBIANCE: The inside felt very run down. The bar wasn't even finished and didn't look like it was ever used. Overall, it had a very hole-in-the-wall feel.

After hitting a pretty good leg-day, i drove back to the food cart and asked the woman at the window what the most popular spud was. She told me it was the brisket one. The carnivore that I am, also wanted some chicken wings. So now, I'm back at my apartment, devouring this massive potato covered in brisket, cheese, sour cream, chives, and bbq sauce. Wishing i had gotten another one for tomorrow. Definitely would recommend anyone in the area to stop by and check this little shop out. The potatoes alone were worth stopping for. Next time I plan to try one of the lobster spuds.

This I not what you think of when you hear wings (most immediately think of sauces and BWW). These are fried wings (full sized) and come in Spicy or Mild. The only thing that would make this better is if they would add some thighs to the menu! Y'all go out and support this business.
