I gave the food a 4 star rating only because it was not the food I originally went there for. We wanted their boudins but, they were all out of them. Got the chicken dinner and it was good but not what we really wanted. Also, the soft spicy Cracklin is fantastic.

Cracklins were delish!!! Service was good, smelled delicious inside and was packed. Was interested in the "wet" cracklins, but unfortunately they don't give samples. Wasn't gonna buy some and not like them. Definitely recommend!

The soft and hot cracklins are the best. I travel from Houston to get them. You will not find better cracklins anywhere else unless they are trying to copy these guys.

Great customer service yesterday. The staff very nice and friendly. Clean restaurant and bathroom. All the customers were getting crackling. I passed on it.Food - I got the sausage lunch plate. The sausage was flavorful and seasoned well. The sauce was good. Warm temperatures. Dirty rice was okay. Problems: Roll was stale, beans was so sweet one spoonful made my eyes squint. Too sweet for me. The potato salad - terrible! No love, no seasoning, extra dry. Everything tasted as if was reheated a couple times. Nothing fresh

This place has the best cracklings and service in the entire area! This is the 5th time we have stopped here when passing through and trust it won’t be the last.The cracklings are always fresh and the service is always with a smile. I wish I had photos to upload but we ate them too fast lol.I will advise anyone to stop here and purchase a lump sum so you can have some for later especially if your not from the area.

I do recommend Famous Foods but today I ordered 2 brisket dinners and mine was just hard dry pieces. I was very disappointed.

Today was my first time going there. When I walked in, I was greeted and acknowledge as soon as my foot hit the floor. The lady that took my order had a smile on her face from start to finish. I took my food back to work with me and begin eating. Everything on my plate was amazing!!! I will definitely go back.

So being from Texas, this was my first time eating cracklin. It was really pretty good. For my first time, I give it an 8/10 on the spicy one. Very tasty and fresh. I got the brisket sandwich also. Now Texas does brisket very different, so I will just say that it was tasty and I would eat it again. It would be unfair to use my Texas brisket criteria on this. But thank you to the nice young man who suggested the spicy cracklin, this was a good experience overall.
