“Bussin!!! The baked chicken and gravy is fire! The yams bussing! The Mac n cheese isn't nasty, but it's kinda mid. It went well with the catfish though, and the catfish is fire too! I was salty they were out of the banana pudding and they only had a few servings left of peach cobbler so I'm pretty sure that means it's good. The kool-aid is banging. Fresh and hot! Made to order! Definitely will be a repeat customer!??✊?“

Don’t miss the sides either! I miss the pre-pandemic indoor seating, though.Vegetarian options: I’ve had vegetarians in my parties and they always are happy with the choices of sides.“

“This place is a hole in the wall. Although small, it packs a punch when it comes to flavor and portion size. I ordered the chicken fried steak, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This thing was huge juicy and very well seasoned, which is a plus for me. It came with 2 sides, which I got crispy okra and green beans. It was great! Everything was around $17, which for the size and the flavor it a great deal. The place is kinda small inside and busy with some very peculiar wall decor. But, the people were friendly and nice and the food made it all worth it.“

“My friend and I went to the restaurant to experience their St. Paddy's Special that was advertised on their website. When we got to the restaurant the special was not on the menu nor was the server aware it. The manager came over and confirmed that they had corned beef and cabbage which was the best that we had ever had. Aside from this lack of communication, the service was excellent and since they knocked it out of the park with this dish, we plan to return and try their other menu items.“

The vegetables were a little salty for my taste but I don’t typically use a lot of salt. The corn fritters were very tasty. Will definitely be back.“

Loved the catfish and the coleslaw“

“Let me tell you about Pigpen in San Antonio - it's the kind of place that steals your heart faster than you can say "oink!" The first time I waltzed in, it was like stumbling upon a hidden gem - fairly empty, which I secretly loved. But let me warn you, every other time? Jam-packed, and for good reason!Now, onto the main event - the food. I dove into a plate of wings and a chicken slider, and let me just say, yum, yum, yum! It's like a flavor explosion in your mouth that makes you want to dance a little jig of joy. Finally, a spot serving up killer bar food that isn't just another taco joint - Pigpen, you're doing it oh-so-right!And let's not forget about the libations. We sipped on classic cocktails and beer all night long, thanks to the fabulous Courtney, our bartender extraordinaire. She's not just attentive, she's like your long-lost drinking buddy who knows exactly what you need before you even ask.But here's the real kicker - the nachos. Oh boy, oh boy, were we in for a treat! Brisket on everything? Yes, please! Pigpen knows what's up, and let me tell you, it's a flavor sensation you won't soon forget.So, do yourself a favor and trot on over to Pigpen immediately. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you later!“

“As a New Orleans native gumbo is a sacred dish so it’s very hard to impress me. The gumbo from And Gravy has did more than impress me. This was one of the best gumbos I’ve had since leaving home. It was rich and flavorful. Each spoonful was filled with meat and seafood. The chef knocked this New Orleans favorite out of the park. 10/10 highly recommend“
