Listen! I know good soul food, and this spot here has "hit the spot!" But because it's Friday, it's…read moreCatfish Friday! So I quite naturally ordered the max. piece catfish (3 pc.) with fries and greens, and OMG! The flavor, the crispiness! Just like I fry it! Excellent customer service! Needless to say, this is now my "catfish spot" whenever I visit the area again. For dessert, I had the peach cobbler. Another hit! So balanced with flavor and sweetness! My family had the oxtails and blackened salmon. They are licking their fingers! Why is this place not rated a perfect 5?! You better believe they get 5 stars from me! Earned! (Sorry, I ate my fish and peach cobbler before I realized I didn't take a pic. And the presentation was magnificent on all plates!)

So look, I am all about great food, and this place is really amazing. I saw this place while I was…read morewaiting at a light and thought who doesn't love Southern cooking? But, I do have some things I want to say. First, there is absolutely no signage or anything that explains what the items are, or even the basic whether you seat your self or not. It's kinda cafeteria style, you pick up a tray and silverware and then give them your choices. I did get it explained to me after standing at the counter looking like an idiot for a few minutes. I kind of fell in behind a couple of guys that came in right after me, I let them go because I had no idea. Second, there is nothing to tell you how much things cost. Protein Choices were smothered pork chops, meatloaf, chicken, turkey wings, fish and... wait for it.. oxtails. Now I know some of you are thinking HARD PASS on oxtails, but believe me, these are a rarity to find on a menu, I would say because of the cost, but also because they aren't quick to prepare. If you are offering oxtails on your menu, you have to have plenty on hand and be confident in your dish. Micheaux's hits the mark. Third, and this is very important, the food PLENTIFUL, and I do mean truly two people could probably eat what I got served. personally, I LOVE oxtails, but because nobody else in my house would even consider eating these, (they are not with me) and because they are super expensive in the store, I rarely make it for just myself. So of course I ordered the oxtails., it's served with rice, and two additional sides and cornbread. I ordered greens and green beans. It was pricey , like 37.00 before the tip, and as I was paying I was cursing myself for spending so much for lunch but..It's so delicious! I do think that the prices should be posted somewhere because ( and this is why it's getting 4 of 5 stars) I never would have ordered this knowing I would not be able to take it with me to reheat for later. I wish this wasn't an impulse stop while I was driving somewhere else . I don't know how the guys that were ahead of me put it all away in record time. They left before I started the review. I stopped eating to do the review because I want to eat more before I leave this area of town. I don't think this will travel well, especially if I can't reheat it. OMG, the man next to me just ate all of his food and just ordered a piece of chocolate cake that is making my mouth water. How am I supposed to finish what is in front of me and think about the cake too? I also want to mention that I erroneously picked up a salt shaker before I started to eat... Not needed, nothing needed salt at all, everything was perfectly seasoned. Well, I am calling it, I will take the rest with me and figure something out. Maybe one day I will be in the area again.

BEST WINGS EVER!!!! I love the staff, and the energy of the place will be back soonread more

I was convinced this place was going to be a hit. Unfortunately, for me, it was a miss…read more I ordered the 2-piece fried fish with the 4-piece jumbo shrimp meal, which comes with fries, white bread, pickles, and onions. I also ordered a side of potato salad. Let's start with the positives. The potato salad was pretty good. It wasn't heavily seasoned, but adding a little seasoning made a noticeable difference, and I enjoyed it. The fish was another positive. I like my fish fried extra crispy, and they absolutely delivered on that. The texture was exactly what I was looking for. My only complaint is that the fish itself wasn't seasoned, but the hot sauce they provided definitely helped elevate the flavor. Now for the downsides. The shrimp was the biggest disappointment for me. It's coated in a different batter that's more similar to a tempura-style batter, and I simply wasn't a fan. The batter was very fragile and kept falling apart, leaving plain shrimp underneath that had virtually no seasoning. Also, I personally wouldn't consider these "jumbo" shrimp. They looked more like large shrimp to me. The fries were an even bigger letdown. Unfortunately, I don't have anything positive to say about them. They were extremely hard, tasted stale, and weren't enjoyable at all. I'm not sure if they had been sitting for a while or if the grease needed to be changed, but they were inedible for me and ended up in the trash. Thankfully, I ordered the potato salad because that ended up replacing the fries. My other concern was the value. The fish and shrimp combo alone was $19.99 before tax, and that didn't include the potato salad. For that price point, I expected better seasoning, fresher fries, and an overall higher-quality meal. Overall, this was my first visit, and I truly wanted to love it. I think my expectations were high because of all the positive reviews, but the meal simply didn't deliver for me. The fish had a great crispy texture, and the potato salad was enjoyable, but everything lacked of seasoning, the shrimp was disappointing, the stale fries, and overall value left me feeling underwhelmed.

Being from Maryland and a seafood connoisseur, I was especially happy to see whiting AND perch on the menu, along with such a wonderful array of soul food choices. The fish was fried perfectly -- crispy on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside, and definitely not overcooked. Even better, it wasn't overly seasoned or salty. Just right and tight! And honestly, I found this place almost by accident. I was nearby when I heard the R&B playing through the speakers and felt like I was being summoned by the soulful sounds. What a gift to have stumbled upon this spot! Tiera and Renetta took great care of me and made me feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere was bright, clean, comfortable, and reminded me of home. Now I see why they say Houston is famous for its Black-owned restaurants with outstanding cuisine. Soul Goode absolutely lived up to that reputation. Great food, great music, great people, and great energy. I will be back -- and OFTEN!

Green beans were well seasoned. The turkey wings could've used a little more seasoning. Corn bread was excellent. Another area for improvement is the customer service. The energy seemed a bit "dry" compared to other black owned businesses in Houston. A more enthused greeting from the cashier or owner would've helped. Otherwise, this was a nice find!

They drown your Togo plate with gravy till it's messy and spilling everywhere. Rice is charged as a side & I found that weird being that most dishes with gravy are served with rice! Oh and let's not forget $6 for a small side of yams that are overly sweet so much sugar that they are slimy. $50 for oxtails greens Mac n yams NOT worth the price at all what so ever. When you call you can never ever speak to anyone. Don't even think about requesting a refund if you're disappointed because I've been waiting over 2 weeks now. Every time I call to check on the status it's the same run around story. Apart from the food not being worth the price the quality of service is decent. When you call it says food made with love. The food is made with no love at all being that everything is lacking flavor and seasoning. Most soul food is full of flavor even without being over seasoned salty or spicy. This place is not good don't waste your time or money. YouTube the recipe and cook it at home yourself. Paying for convenience to eat home cooked meal becomes inconvenient fast when the food isn't good and over priced at that. I don't usually post negative reviews but I'm trying to save someone's time and money like I wish I was able to do! As far as the ambiance it's cool not 100% cleanest place to eat the high chair was dirty with food crumbs left in it and the table / booth wasn't clean i had to clean it myself. A team meeting with the cooks and cleaning staff needs to be had expeditiously. Along with some additional attitude adjustments with the staff who's serving the food. Didn't get a pick of my oxtail plate the flavor wasn't worthy of taking up space in my camera roll.
