I miss them being in downtown Houston. They had to move out of downtown due to gentrification which made taxes too high. The food is good. I remember when they were filming Jason’s Lyric at this restaurant.

I've lived in Houston for 42 years and this is the first time hearing about this place. Thank you so much for this video. I will definitely be checking this place out!!!

All that food looks AMAZING 🤩and I love that saying "What you do for yourself will die with you but what you do for others will live on" because it's very true

He has definitely done his grandparents proud. The food is as tasty today as it was 40 yrs ago when I first started eating there. Bravo👏!

There is nothing better than some collard greens, pinto beans and cornbread with banana pudding!

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York but my parents were from the low-country South Carolina. My mother cooked just like this! Sure miss my parents, and mom's cooking!

I grew up eating soul food and this what I really love about my race that we make food with love and it taste great. I no longer eat pork no more because of my biblical beliefs' and seafood but I grew up eating it too.

I must've had the first- or second-generation plate back in the day (1991) seem like it was located more downtown though in that West Gray area. My Grandma took me to "This Is It" and I ate like a little pig. 😄 They also had this restaurant called "Wyatt's Cafeteria" off a street called "O.S.T" come Sundays after church, the women would still have they white usher board uniforms on cooking & serving. What A Time

I'm a definite foodie because I'm about to book my flight!

This is where Lyric from Jason's Lyric worked!! What a throwback!!

[bobgaysummerland]

In NC we called restaurants like this a meat and two. None left in the Raleigh area sadly. We do miss them.

Definitely on my bucket list now!
In the meantime, Hoover's Cooking in Austin suits me just fine... 🥧 🍲 🥣

Tripas de puerco .
Those pork chitterlings tacos are delicious famous in Mexico.
We also eat cow tails.
But I never ate them at soul style cooking.
Love to houston Tx .
