    The Shack's double cheese burger
    Don T.

    My daughter-law referred me to "The Shack" in Sugarland after hearing me brag on how wonderful my double cheese burger was from Smash Burger in Pearland. So I went there the Ambiance was very Sugarlandesh. Meaning clean, tidy, and modern. They use automation there to place your order so since I was new I asked for a little help. The friendly lady who was helping everybody gave me a moment of her time and helped me place my order. Upon receiving my order I notice it was a really well put together burger. Everything as promised was there now it was time to take a bite and decide for myself what's up with this burger. As I proceeded to bite into the burger everything was all there the lettuce, tomato, cheese and mayo. Except for the most important ingredient, it was DRY. No moistness whatsoever what is the point of eating a dry burger and it looked so good too.

    Sausage, chicken, and brisket

    Wow! I'm from California but live in Oregon. We don't have bbq like this in Oregon.. I didn't get her name but I was greeted by a lovely lady that helped me with my order. I ordered brisket, sausage, and chicken with cabbage and beans on the side. Bomb.. delicious... I currently work in Dallas and had to come out here to visit. Well I also got the double cheeseburger for my road trip.. I ain't going to lie I sampled it bomb delicious... yall need to get out to this spot.. this is a hidden diamond!!

    Very disappointed... Definitely could have been better. The cashier was very nice and helpful. But I feel like I wasted my money for the food... Actions speak louder than words. Didn't want to throw it in the trash. I'll rather eat Roman Noodles

    Here's the accurate breakfast menu. Great prices, plenty of food, and delicious!!

    We ordered breakfast: an omelette with bacon and sausage, and the breakfast plate with pancakes, brisket, and smothered potatoes. They forgot to smother the potatoes which would've had chipped beef gravy with green onions, but I'll try it next time. My husband said that was the BEST omelette he's ever had, and that's huge because he eats them at every breakfast spot we go to. My pancakes were huge and delicious. Everything was delicious. You can't beat the price or the flavor of the food! The Shack is really busy and when I went yesterday morning there was one guy answering the phone, taking orders and payments, and cooking the food. There was another guy running the food to the cars. Be patient because they're doing the best they can with the amount of staff they have. I'll be back most definitely, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

    3.5 I had my first visit here last week and have been a total of 3 times since. I love the fried shrimp and fish, loaded potatoes and fresh cut french fries. The ribs were delicious too! The boudain was dry and I didn't care for it. They have a nice patio area set up outside that would've be great for a small party or gathering. I inquired about reserving, but didn't get a response

    The food was amazing!! Very well seasoned. The fried chicken tasted like my grandmas Sunday dinner…read more I had greens, blackeye pease and yams. Also had the cabbage which was a little overcooked but very tasty. The cornbread was heavenly! And the peach cobbler and banana pudding were both delicious. This was my first time here but definitely not my last. I highly recommend it.

    Finding good soul food in a new city is a journey... and baby, I've been on one since moving to…read moreHouston. After 3+ years of searching for something that gives me that Atlanta-level comfort, I can finally say I've found a real contender in Mikki's Soul Food Cafe. This was my second visit, and I ordered the same thing both times--the meatloaf dinner over rice with green beans (and this time I added mac and cheese). That meatloaf? Listen... seasoned just right, tender, and covered in a rich gravy that leans slightly tomato-based without being overpowering. Poured over fluffy rice? Yeah... they knew exactly what they were doing. The first visit was a 10/10. The green beans were everything--well-seasoned, tender, with bacon and onions. It gave "somebody's grandma been cooking all morning." Now... this second visit? The green beans came in a little confused. I got more potatoes and bacon than actual beans. I'm talking hide-and-seek levels trying to find a green bean in there. Still flavorful, but the balance was off. And the mac and cheese? Not my ministry. It was very heavy--extra cheesy to the point where the texture and flavor just didn't land for me. I won't be ordering that again. Let's talk price real quick: $19.95 (2 sides) $23.95 (3 sides) At first, I paused. But once you see the portion size? You calm down real quick. These are generous plates, easily stretching into two meals. Now here's my biggest issue--and it matters: The to-go packaging needs help. That gravy on the meatloaf is delicious, but it's also very liquidy. When you order to-go (like I did for lunch), it spills out into the container and bag during transport. By the time I got back to work, my tray was covered in grease and gravy, and it made eating a whole situation. This could easily be fixed by putting the gravy in a separate, sealed container. Final Verdict: When Mikki's hits, it hits. This is some of the closest I've found to real Southern soul food in Houston. A little more consistency with sides and better to-go packaging would take them all the way over the top. Rating: 4.5 stars (9/10) 1/2 And yes--I'm coming back. Next time, I'm bringing my mom for Sunday dinner.

Every one was so polite, helpful, and very jovial. During the entire time I was there, whether it was short or long, there seem to always be a line. Thank goodness they have an exceptional system in place that ensures the lines move swiftly and efficiently. It may look a little chaotic but it is very well organized. You stand in line, order and pay first, and the you get a table. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get a table because the dinning room was packed but as soon as I finished ordering, a few tables cleared up. This is southern style breakfast at its best!!! The food came out quickly. I ordered the fried catfish dish that came with two eggs, a biscuit, and grits. The biscuit was delicious, making it ag great accompaniment to the dish. The fried catfish was very flavorful and the crispy batter clung to the fish perfectly, preventing it from falling apart. I enjoyed my meal a lot and would definitely order it again, despite feeling a bit heavy and bloated afterward. Great establishment. I highly recommend trying this place at least once. Note: There's hardly any parking in front of the entrance but there's more parking across the street by the building with the closed down catering company. Also, a little further down by the Obamas' mural, there's a parking lot dedicated just for customers of The Breakfast Klub.

Everything has an extremely solid flavor and will definitely be coming back even if it is way out of our way! we honestly felt like both dishes could have come from one of those hole in the wall establishment in the French Quarter.

We ended up not going because of the wait but I went back with a friend earlier today and it was REALLY good. Like insanely good. I got the Chicken and Gravy while my friend got the Chicken and Waffles and we both finished our plates cleanly. The service was slow, yes, but they were extremely nice and did have multiple prefaces regarding the wait time. The only I had food wise was that the candied sweet potatoes were a little too sweet for me (and trust me, I love myself some candied sweet potatoes) and I feel like the okra or another one of the sides would've been a better fit for me. The chicken I had was extremely tender and juicy, and the gravy had the perfect amount of sweet and salty where I just gobbled it down with everything. The vibe is nice and homey and overall this place was just great. It for sure isn't someplace you can rush through in 30 minutes, but that kinda adds to the experience that you get the minute you walk in.
