Description

Nestled in Austin, this restaurant offers a culinary journey that ranges from delightfully memorable to painfully disappointing. While many patrons rave about the exceptional fried chicken, catfish, and generous portions, others express frustration over declining food quality and inconsistent service. Long wait times, dirty tables, and unwelcoming staff have tainted the experience for some, overshadowing the kitchen's potential. However, with dedicated support for local Black businesses, there’s hope for improvement. With a few adjustments in staffing and food preparation, this establishment could easily reclaim its status as a must-visit spot for comfort food enthusiasts.

Delicious meals but they closed down! Not enough traffic I guess. I never had any problems the few times I went.

This is the best chicken wings, catfish this side of heaven. You will love it. My family and I always come here from Houston, Texas. I pray they open one soon there. I would go, once a week.

Fish is good! Taste like home cooked fried fish. Prices are reasonable for the portions.

I wish there was an option to give ZERO stars. I placed my order online, as the website so CONVENIENTLY offers, and selected the 8:43 PM pick up time. I ordered an hour in advance and paid for my order and got my confirmation email. I arrived at the location around 8:44 and they were closed! Online ordering should not be available if the location is closed. Also some updated hours of operation would be nice. I contacted the Burnett location asking whether the location was permanently closed or if they could advise me on what to do the only for them to tell me “sorry we don’t have anything to do with that location. We just have the same owner. People who order online at this location get their food.” Extremely disappointed. Hopefully I’m about to get a refund without having to go though my bank.

Well where to start....we drove by and saw this place, looked it up and could not wait to try it. Looked it up here on yelp again tonight, said it was open until 9pm. Went to their website and it said they were open, so we placed an order for take out. The website allowed us to place the order, charged us for it and even sent a confirmation email. I left the house about 10 minutes after that to pick up the order only to get a text while pulling into the parking lot, which I did not read until I parked in front of the place which had all the lights out and was obviously closed?!?! Pretty disappointed that we not only did not get to try this but also drove there to pick up the order only to have it canceled and refunded.....yelp still says they are open tonight.....such a bummer :
