"Ask any Houstonian where to go for traditional Southern food and it’s likely This Is It will be a top suggestion. Open since 1959, this Third Ward soul food restaurant is one of the oldest Black-owned restaurants in Houston, with its Third Ward location open since 2010. Indulge in hearty, entrees like smothered turkey wings or pork chops and saucy braised oxtails, and choose from a laundry list of sides, including cornbread dressing, black-eyed peas, candied yams, and baked macaroni and cheese." - Minh Truong, Brittany Britto Garley
