@eater

"One of Houston’s oldest African-American owned restaurants, This Is It got its start in Freedman’s Town before moving to its current Third Ward digs a decade ago. The menu features food rich in Southern Black history, from deep-fried chitterlings to collard greens to sweet potato pie. Pick-up orders can be placed on the restaurant’s website." - Brittanie Shey, Kayla Stewart
