First chicken tenders were so burnt it was just impossible to eat them. Next time it was the onion rings - they were almost completely black they were so burnt! Next time my mother who is 94 years old received a bread tie in her burger- what a surprise! The food that was burnt should have never been sent out to the customer!! No consistency - might be good once and then not! Has happened so much to us we are proudly taking our business elsewhere!!

Sometimes you need to get out of Houston and its Suburbs to score a fantastic meal…read more Today, 24Oct2026, my Wife and another couple we ride motorcycles with travelled one and a half hours north east to eat at Pickett House just west of Woodville Texas on US 190. Specifically, 157 Private Road 6000, Woodville Tx 75979. Todd, our riding buddy, found out about this during a solo ride from a retired firefighter while waiting for a road crew to open up a lane of traffic near Livingston, Tx. Today was the day we ventured to The Piney Woods for a spot of lunch. The place is slipped in behind a Museum/Gift Shop and does not open until 11am on the days of operation, usually F-Sun. Today, it was fried chicken with black-eyed peas, cole slaw, chicken and dumplings as well as cooked mustard greens. Dessert was peach cobbler with ice cream. The meal is served family style and everything is all you can eat. Seriously, all you can eat. The entry has a plaque (see picture of it) that is really what is expected of any and all diners that order there. I was our busser after the meal. After you get Inside look around and you will see is one of the biggest collection of Circus posters I have ever come across. Some of them are even up for adoption. But, I digress ... On to the food. The fried chicken was some of the best I have ever had. Crispy outer shell that has a distinct "crunch" on every bite. It is seasoned well and the chicken itself carries a flavor from whatever they marinaded it in. The thigh I started with was hot, juicy and tender as were the breast, leg and second thigh of my second plate. I thought I have had great fried chicken from one of the oldest bar in Oklahoma a decade or so ago ... this blows that out of the water. The sides were just as good. Those black-eyed peas were cooked to perfection and gave no aftertaste of the soil it was grown in so many of us that eat them know oh so well. Todd, who hates them ate two spoonfuls with no face making at all. The greens were tender and well seasoned with salt, bacon drippings and a hint of sugar to level out the bitterness of cooked greens. Even my Wife liked them. Cole slaw there is not sweet, so therefore I was the only one that liked that side. More for me. What really stood out on the sides was the chicken and dumplings. Normally, this is an entree. Not here. It was almost as exciting to eat as the fried chicken was. Chunks, not pieces, chunks of chicken were bathing in a cream sauce with tender dumplings that had just the right amount of flavor that carries the starch forward to greet your tastebuds. Afterwards, we all had our peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla. The cobbler crust had some additional sugar on it that made the flakiness of the pastry even deeper in texture and flavor. Again, I have had cobblers before and this one rivals all of them. Our server was a mice young man that had a sharp sense of humor and verbally sparred with me about everything cluck. Even the nice lady collecting my dirty plates from the counter as I set them down chatted me up. Pickett House is a destination for us that do not live near it and is probably a mecca to those that do. This is going to be a return spot for my Wife and I if we are out there and it is open. Ciao, Darrell

I have been coming here for 20 years and never been disappointed. They were only open on weekends…read moreback then and only from 11-2. The hours have expanded I'm pleased to report and the food is just as good as it ever was. Some employees are not here anymore and they probably retired but the ladies working here work very hard to make sure the customers are always full. The circus posters on the walls, the period dresses the servers wear, and the table cloths and curtains add a note of nostalgia and send you back to a simpler time. Keep up the great work and I will keep coming. I drive 80 miles to get here and have been for 20 years. So I definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Nothing is cooked ahead of time so don't get in a hurry for your food. Sit back and visit with the people at the table next to yours. The wait is totally worth it.
