“I had seen Katherine’s Soul Food on commercials after different churches services. I was thinking ok another soul food place. Well lo and behold one of my good friends decided to go for lunch. I tell you I ordered the smothered turkey necks with mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet yams and macaroni and cheese. It was so good and delicious 8 went back the next day to order the fish and shrimp. Katherine’s Soul Food is one of those hidden gems 💎 that reminds you of your grandmother’s cooking on a Sunday afternoon after church. I will return again and try the fried ribs. They have so much to chose from and their portions are perfect. The customer service is amazing as well!😘”
— Rosalind Rolla“We had the chitterlings, fried fish, collard greens, potato salad, black eyed peas, candied yams, red beans and rice. All the food was seasoned to perfection. Nothing was too salty or too spicy. All the food was served hot and fresh in terms of temperature. The chitterlings were superb, so tender and juicy. The catfish was truly “Chefs Kiss” it was served piping hot and the batter was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We ordered an 8 piece just to take home and eat later. So that should tell you how decadent it was. The potato salad tasted like someone’s momma made it with mustard, relish, onions, no eggs, but I didn’t miss them because this potato salad was so flavorful!! The greens were so tender and juicy! The red beans and rice with sausage was so creamy and delicious ! I wish I could give Soulfood by Catherine 10 stars!! We flew all the way from Las Vegas to try it!!”
— Vellanee Myers“Let me first say, THANK YOU for always having clean restrooms! Today, we took our family here after church and dined in. Everyone was more than satisfied with their food and it is made with love. We had turkey necks, collard greens, black-eyed peas, green beans, candied yams, mac & cheese, cornbread and their fried chicken. Everything was absolutely delicious! Service is and was always with both professionalism and welcoming. I'm so glad Catherine's is in our community serving, with pride, the community. With so few places to eat good quality food, this is becoming a rare gem. If you try it, enjoy it to the full! They also make fried fish to order and have oxtails. Oh, my Aunt had the smothered porkchops and raved about them too.😋”
— Erika Prothow“From the time we walked into this spot, we were treated like family warm welcome and outstanding service. When I say everything we ordered on the menu was out of this world 🌎 good. Fried ribs, ox tails collard green max and cheese corn bread Kool aid. And let's know forget the ladies that just made this this trip all the more pleasant and memorable. Just had to take pictures with them. Best Soul Food in Texas hands down.”
