The 8 Best Soul Food Restaurants In Houston
"Houston This Is It in the Third Ward is a soul food spot that delivers comfort food in a setting that is relaxed enough to feel like one big exhale. A standard dinner tray comes with one entree and three sides, and once you’ve decided on a main, it’s best to be strategic with your choice of sides. In general, a standard macaroni and cheese-candied yam-cabbage trio will do the trick (they’re soul food heavy hitters after all). But if you’re getting an entree with a little sauce (think smothered turkey wings) then you’ll need some rice to ensure that no sauce is left behind. Most folks here are regulars and can be found chatting with the staff, but if it’s your first time here, try to have your introduction with a side of oxtail on a Thursday or Saturday when they’re served.
