Reviews for Houston This Is It Soul Food in Houston, TX
This was my first visit. I was really wanting some home-cooked food or like home cooked food so we decided to try. I was... pleasantly surprised to learn of the restaurants history. While we were in line selecting our sides, the older lady waitingbehind us told us the yams were delicious. Personally I don't care for any candied yams in general but my husband did try themand liked them. I had the smothered chicken with gravy. When eating out I generally do not order a lot of starches, which isjust my preference so for my sides I chose pinto beans, string beans and cabbage. They were all seasoned well yet not salty. I enjoyed my meal and will definitely try them again. Read more
Food was decent - Loved the yams, but didn't get excited over the cabbage. Fried chicken was decent but one of my pieces was... really over cooked. The server was kind enough to give me a replacement piece plus one! My cocktail - a strawberry margarita(in styrofoam cup) was great. The tea cakes were very good (full of flavor & my favorite item of the day! Make sure your food ishot when you make your request cos some of mine was cold by the time I sat down to eat. Read more
Was in town visiting my daughters & we came here. I?ve always said if you go to a restaurant & you can walk straight to the... counter meaning there?s no line, LEAVE! I should?ve followed my own advice but I was trying to support black businesses. Thefood was just as nasty as the customer service. I ended up some roughly $150 just for my family & I not to like ANYTHING & haveto go somewhere else. I had the ox tails for $30 & got nothing but bones & gravy. The macaroni was bland. The yams tasted likethey came out a can. 1 daughter had ribs & they were thick & tough. I could go on & on but I?ll just say this save your money &go somewhere else or cook at home Read more
This restaurant was on my list of places to visit... and I wasn't disappointed. The line was long upon entering the restaurant... but the team worked fast to fill orders and take care of the customers. Everything looked so good and tasted even better! Putthis spot on your list too! Read more
Nope, never again! Food was bland! Dressing resembled cat food. No spices, onion, bell peppers, meat, nothing! Just a brownish... colored clump of nothing. Candied yams looked and tasted like they came straight out of a can. Fried fish was fried, dyed andlaid to the side (light pink in some spots on the inside ????). Cabbage was way undercooked and tasteless. My doberman caughtthe cornbread muffin in mid-air as I threw it his way (He's still playing with it as we speak. The peach cobbler... well... justpray for it ?????????? "This Is It" use to be the #1 soul food spot back in the day, not sure what happened, but "this ain't it"today! ???????????? Read more
Zero stars if I could. I ordered beef tips today and I received 90% fat. The Mac and cheese has no flavor and is watery.... Disgusting. If you are from South Louisiana, like myself. Save yourself the trouble. This isn?t soul food, it?s more diner food. Read more
Friendly customer service. Great food. The "Ride for Freedom" bike riders at Tom Bass went here after our bike ride for lunch.... The employees were very accommodating and give us a private room. I had the Friday special of fried catfish with 2 veggies for$10. Great bargain for a yummy meal and great customer service. Read more
A bit on the pricey side but It was good. Wasn?t a fan of the Mac cheese but the green beans are the bomb. It?s was the best... thing on my plate ???? my daughter had smoother chicken. That was good too. Read more
