The place was ok. The food alittle pricey though. You should be able to get 2 sides for the price of the food but instead they charge you for the 2 sides which is usually unheard-of. The sides are pricey from $5.95& up? the food was ok. Cabbage over cooked and dirty rice was mushy. First time experience and I was looking for a good Cajun shrimp restaurant to go to. I spent over $54. The customer service was good. I just don't think you should charge extra for the sides. I may have missed reading something. A out of towner looking for some good food.

My first and last experience eating at this establishment was Friday, 04/28/23. My spouse spoke highly of the food here so I wanted to try eat it. I ordered and was sent an email confirmation for the order; but when I got to the restaurant, they had no recollection of my order as their machines weren’t registering pick up orders, but definitely taking customers money. After overlooking that inconvenience, the customer service was terrible. The older woman shouldn’t be the face of the company as she seems as though she doesn’t wish to be bothered by incoming requests or orders. I thought it being a black-owned business would bring nicer, more hospitable employees; that was not the case. I’m big on customer service and the women at this establishment don’t give “we appreciate your business, come back again” energy.

Extremely disappointed. Ordered shrimp plate with mac n cheese and greens and added crab potatoes.1. shrimp was over cooked, borderline burnt2. idk why called crab potatoes, more like potatoes smothered in cheese3. did not even receive greens4. only gave 2 stars due to mac n cheese

The most disappointing thing is having a taste for something and it being dirty. Chicken that is yellow or gray is not fresh and not safe to eat. I see why they have a sign that says “absolutely no refunds”. Should have made my own.Edit to add: based on the response of the establishment, I will give this spot another chance. Organizations that respond to their customer’s concerns deserve that much. It shows they care about their business. Rating changed from 1 to 3 for that gesture and with an understanding the chicken was marinated in something leaving the color.

Low stars for atmosphere as it's located in a gas station but everything was great. The owner is regularly in the house cooking and will take time to talk to the customers. Food takes a bit of time as it's all made to order. Completely worth it!

I just ate a $17 saucer of grits with 6 medium shrimp that had no flavor. We also ordered a kids shrimp thinking that there would have been perhaps small fries etc included, but no. My husband's order was crawfish, which he said was just ok. He ended up adding more seasoning to them. I am all for supporting minority owned business. However, for the amount of money we paid, we spected better. We were so very disappointed and will not order food from here again. Before trying this restaurant, make an effort to visit other places in the area first.

I came back to killeen and visited one of my favorite family owned business for the catfish nawlins but I am very disappointed. The rice was cold so I decided to pick up the catfish and shrimps in order to reheat the rice then found these black nasty things under it. Pretty sure these are not part of the recipe… it was way too much and tasted burnt so I gave up. Paid over $21.00 for this portion and quality really upsets me.

The food was cold. The portions were small for the price tag. My wife had the seafood gumbo. The gumbo was thin and her blue crab claw was still raw. The meat in the claw was still translucent. The place automatically has a surcharge added to every bill and will deduct it if you pay cash. There is an ATM there but you pay 2.75 to withdraw cash. They were only accepting cash when we were there. Overall mediocre at best, hence the two stars. I don't know if this is a one time bad experience, being this is the first time we've eaten there food. But, unfortunately this will be the last time we eat here. If I'm paying $36 dollars for a dinner for two people I expect my food to at least be hot and cooked through.
Absolute worse $15+ meal I’ve spent money on. Poorly proportioned, purchased the catfish meal and received a piece that was about 2 inches. To make matter worse, my “salad” was pile of flavorless white rice and the “crab” fried potatoes was just a few potato chunks swimming in a meatless cream based sauce.

Went to Father & Sons. First of all you can't find it right off. Just FYI it's in the Exxon gas station with a small sign in the window. There isn't a sign outside. We got there about 7:30 pm after trying to find a place to eat since this is where my visiting son wanted to get a poboy from. Google said the restaurant closed at 8pm. I normally try not to go a restaurant at closing. When we got there they were closed and had been over 30 mins. If the restaurant closes at 7:30 pm PLEASE update the website. It's nothing worst than going to a restaurant and have your mouth ready for one thing and then get there and they have closed early. Maybe they closed on time but the website says otherwise

I've been here a couple different times, and I'm sad to say that I'm very displeased. I personally know the owner and master chef, and never once have I had the luxury of actually being served the food that HE is cooking. Everything on the menu looks so mouth-watering, however it does not come out looking like that. I don't know who is working the kitchen... The crab legs that I was served were extremely skinny, and once cracked open more than 3/4 of them were actually empty.... No meat in the crab legs ... Everything DROWNED IN BUTTER. ?At first glance I thought there were Sesame seeds, on the crab ... But once I realized that's not what they were I asked the man why there were tiny eggs on the crab legs, the cashier/waiter told me, "it's nothing to worry about, I'm from Boston and I've seen all types of barnacles.." when I said "these are NOT barnacles though", he replied that "he didn't know what exactly they were....but that I could thank Sam's club for that."I LOVE seafood and have eaten it my whole life.. never have I seen these on the shells. Not once have I ever enjoyed the food I have received from this establishment. And I've come back hoping it was just a bad day....But upon looking into it further, I have found out that these are Marine Leach eggs, or crab mites. Crab is SUPPOSED TO BE SCRUBBED CLEAN BEFORE COOKING.I hate that I had to leave this kind of review but I really felt the disappointment after this last visit and spending such an amount, just to throw everything away.I am just confused. YOUR MENU looked SENSATIONAL On the websites pictures, I wish it had been a better experience for myself and my daughter's. Please do better for any future guests.

Seriously? $18 for this?! The first time I tried them was amazing. Every time since then has been a disappointment, with tonight’s order being the most disappointing. I understand inflation but come on y’all? Where is the rest of my food?!
