A Taste of Texas Family Food

I wish I heard about this place sooner! The food is all made from scratch and the staff/owners treat everyone like family. You can tell when your meal is cooked by people who genuinely love making people happy with food and this place is legit. My husband had the garlic buffalo wings and loved them. They were HUGE wings and the homemade sauce was amazing. He had the pinto beans and Mac n cheese on the side and said the pinto beans were the best beans he's ever had in a restaurant. My chicken fried steak was very good but my favorite part was that they had pan gravy and not the standard plain gravy mix so many places serve. The potato salad was perfect and the okra was delicious thanks to their seasoning. We can't wait to go back to this place.

If you’re looking for real-deal soul food made with love, this is the spot! I ordered the catfish dinner plate with two sides and the meatloaf special (don’t judge me 😅) — and baby, EVERYTHING was hot, fresh, and seasoned just right. The catfish was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and that meatloaf? Comfort food done right. But honestly… the food was amazing, AND the customer service was 10/10. Super friendly, welcoming, and made you feel like family the moment you walked in. You can tell this is a true mom & pop place that takes pride in what they serve. Support local and come hungry — you won’t be disappointed!

Between Dallas and Austin the food choices are slim, lots of just ok. But today BINGO! We were cruising through Temple and looking for a spot that was good quick and welcoming A Taste of Texas Family Food is a now a mandatory pitstop. The star of the show here is undeniably the catfish. Achieving that perfect balance is a culinary tightrope walk, but they nail it: the breading is outstandingly crisp without being weighed down by oil. It’s rare to find fried fish this clean—you get all the crunch and none of the "greasy after-effect" that usually follows a Southern meal. Beyond the plate, the atmosphere is elevated by the staff. The cooks are incredibly friendly, often greeting regulars by name and making newcomers feel like part of the family before they’ve even sat down. It’s the kind o

This place is spectacular! I didn’t know I was missing out on this spot. From the moment we walked in the young lady behind the counter came and explained everything to us even let us know about the Specials they have for the day. She was very friendly and the right person you would to help serve you when in the establishment. Kuddos to that young lady! Now the food, when I tell you it took me back to my grandma cooking on Sundays it was amazing. The neck bones were tender and moist, the yams were delicious, the cabbage was perfect, the rice and gravy was delicious as well, the pound cake was moist and perfect to top it off, that lemonade they have is a must try it was so good. THIS PLACE IS A MUST TRY YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN ANYTHING. I’ve already planned to go back this weekend a
