Since they forgot to give us the catfish in the initial container, they put it in a tray and bag on the side.
They forgot to give us the catfish and our side of collard greens. Good thing we checked before driving off.

The food was good. Customer service wasn't the best. Just as I was leaving I spoke with the lady who seemed to be a bit detached when I first arrived. She apologized- something I was able to appreciate. I do recommend the food.

Why is the oxtail sweet?!? Omg no! I travelled over 20 miles because I had a taste for oxtail, sorely mistaken going here.

Down home cooking to go! Came by because we were hungry and yelp said this was the place to go! We didnt notice it was drive through only, which was kind of a bummer, but we stuck with it and am glad we did! We got the fish plate, fried chicken plate and pork chop plate. The fish was huge, 4 pieces of chicken but only one small pork chop. I was disappointed because I opened mine last and expected to see 2 large pork chops staring back at me and to only see one was a let down, especially since they were all the same price. Food was very good though, and the corn bread was amazing! We'll come back, just skip the pork chop plate.

By far the best soul food I've need in San Antonio. The catfish is actual catfish and not whiting. Everything is seasoned to perfection, the customer service is great, you feel right at home.The last few times I've been there the air conditioning was out, hopefully it's fixed soon. Besides that this is the only place I'd consider for soul food

How can you list $14.99 for a three piece plate with your choice of pork chop, fish or oxtail and then charge me $24 when I get to the register? Cashier said it's because I ordered fish. But the menu clearly states pork chop or fish or oxtail. I do see a disclaimer for the oxtail at the bottom of the menu, but not for fish. I would be ok a couple more dollars because of increases but $10 is not acceptable. I went down the street and ordered a huge 2 piece fish plate that barely fit in the to-go container for $14. I've had their food before and yes, it is good. But I also appreciate honesty and good service.

I was craving banana pudding which is a staple of the South. I always remember the homemade ones in Birmingham Alabama. I found this place on Yelp and decided to drive there. I guess it is only a drive thru. I tried opening the door and a sweet lady opened asking how she can help me. Banana pudding please. Without hesitation she asked for me to wait right there and she went and got it. It was fresh! Usually this pudding get soggy quickly. It looks like it was just made! Absolutely delicious! I will be back to try a full meal

The food was excellent, there is an a down home feel and appearance. The service was great all the Kool-Aid you can drink. Nice music playing in the background with hints of old school R&B, as well as Jazz.

I pass this restaurant weekly and my bestie and I decided that today was the day to go in. I ordered catfish and he ordered smothered pork chops -- both dishes were well seasoned and beautifully prepared. And let's not forget the sides -- greens were tender and flavorful, sweet potato casserole was a delight, and the fried okra was good and plentiful. Did I mention the banana pudding? If not it's only so you won't know how good it was. Desiree was friendly and provided great service -- even made some good recommendations which did not disappoint. The ambience was good with the music, although loud (I'm old) featured a super soul soundtrack inviting a sing along. I will be back and am already looking forward to my next visit

Went to Mamma's Lou's with 3 friends today for lunch. All but 1 of us grew up in the South. It was a trip back in time remembering all the delicious dishes our family shared. Thecook has it down pat. Fried chicken, black eye peas, sweet potatoes, greens......yum. It will be a must on our list of places to eat. Thanks.
