Southern Recipe

The local Indian-American community supports a tantalizing variety of North and South India and fusion restaurants. Must not overlook Southern Recipe. Quick and tasty lunches: I really liked the lamb vindaloo!

I love southern cooking and Mexican food. So this seemed like a great solution. 1st- I had water & chicken quesadilla. It was fine. Nothing special. But very average. Had chips and salsa. Good flavor in salsa but very spicy hot!2nd visit- I had water & the Pinto Beans & Cornbread at $6.95 on the menu. It came with cheese, onions and jalapeño peppers. Pretty good flavor. Not a southern type I'm used to. But for $6.95, it was fine. Big Problem: when I went to pay, I was charged $9.69. When I asked about this I was told there was an increase in price but the new menus had not come in. WHAT? That's not only deceptive but illegal! B-law 101. The sweet woman said all the regular customers were aware of this. I will not ever go back. Average food, run down booth & very deceptive practices.

This tidy little cafe was a favorite lunch spot when I worked in Irving. In a recent week day I found myself nearby and went back. It did not disappoint! I had my usual fried catfish, which was perfectly prepared. The cabbage was excellent and the black-eyed peas were good, but the greens were too bitter for me. The chips and salsa were fresh and tasty. The service is friendly and attentive. I hope to get back to that part of town for another down home meal again soon!

The building's a bit hidden away but it looks like they get most of their business for lunch. It's nestled perfectly between a bunch of office buildings. We went for dinner. The decor was very interesting and they had the three stooges playing. Overall the food was okay. I did notice most things needed more salt though. The burger was pretty good. Everything was quite affordable. The service was amazing. We might be back but most likely just for lunch. Overall, I'm glad that we tried it.

Southern Recipe is nestled in an unassuming strip mall in Irving. I've passed by it hundreds of times on my way to work, but never popped in. Recently my office moved very close to this location, so I decided to give them a try for lunch. Now my only regret is that I didn't go here sooner! I've been singing the praises of Southern Recipe to all of my coworkers, some of whom are already aware of how delicious their food is!Everyone there is quite friendly, you can tell they have a lot of regulars. They did lose a star because I had to wait a very long time for my check because the waitresses were chatting with other customers for long periods of time. It's great that y'all are friendly, but you have to balance that with service, especially for working folks that are there on their lunch break.The food was a full 5 stars! Best chicken sandwich in Irving, in my opinion. The grilled chicken was tender and juicy, the bacon was crisp, the bun had outstanding flavor and texture, and the onion rings were the crunchiest I've ever had (also reheated wonderfully in a toaster oven). The portion was beyond generous, I took half home with me for later.I also love that they bring you out warm chips and salsa, and the salsa is very authentic, not the slightly spiced ketchup you get some places, lol.Already coming back and bringing the fam for my MIL's bday!

My work friend took me there. He had the pork chop plate and OMG, huge chunk of pork and the sides were pretty big too! I had the cheeseburger, which was also huge and very flavorful...I didn't leave a crumb lol. The waiter was super sweet and with a great sense of humor. The owners are Latinos and make you feel right at home! I can tell they have their regulars.

Unfortunately service was slow. Waitress kept forgetting to add items we ordered to the final bill. Was literally waiting on a to go order and was told, "oh I forgot to add this on your bill" so frustrated. Still tipped on poor service and mediocre food. Not a top pick in the area to return.

Good food staf is very friendly. Area is clean and comfortable will eat lunch there two or three times a week to keep from eating fast food . And very reasonably priced

I Highly recommend FOR NO ONE TO EAT HERe !!!Not Good At all the the chicken fried steak was frozen vegetables tasted like crap. Very hot inside

I thought I would be in for a treat because of the name, but this place is an insult to southern recipes. The brocolli and cheese was steamed broccoli topped with pasteurized nacho cheese. Not even stirred just topped. Macaroni and cheese seems a lot like Stouffer's. QuickTrip and Chic Fil A has real macaroni and cheese...grab a page from their playbook. Then they said they will raise their prices next week. Don't gotta worry about me going back and obviously its not because of the increase in prices.
