I ordered this delicious soul food not knowing it was going to be the best meal of the year for me. From the flavorful yams, the the tasteful green beans. Every dish I had, I definitely enjoyed. Not leaving the best for last but the SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS was out of this world. Will definitely be ordering continuously. 1000/10

The food was so good. I had the turkey wings with Mac and cheese and green beans. The plate was huge and definitely worth the price. The only complaint is the green beans were a bit salty for my taste and they should consider different plates for carry out, the gravy was everywhere. Other than that it was delicious, service was timely and friendly.

Their food is hitting hard. Super good. Loving this place. First time.
This paragraph is a review of my second visit. Do not go there on Sunday. I am going to keep my five-star review of them because I know the food can be really good. Sunday is a busy day for them, but it seems like they're just throwing food together to look like what it's supposed to be but doesn't taste anything like the food I had on the first trip. On the second trip I could not eat the mac and cheese because it did not taste like cheese at all and was watery. The cornbread had no flavor. The candy yams were not sweet. The gravy for the turkey wings was like water. The mashed potatoes tasted funny and the turkey wings were tough. You should really try this place but only go on the weekdays.

Alfredas long waited reopening is very appreciated. Fear not the food remains delicious and full of flavor. The ox tails dinner weighed about 20 pounds - full of tender tails, rice, green beans, all covered in a rich gravy, silky smooth cornbread dressing and mound of slightly sweet cornbread. However, the impact of the pandemic is obvious. It is now a TO GO only restaurant. Also the food is no longer proudly displayed in the steam tables, now the various food items are pictured on a video screen. The new reality for sure. Still good food, just don’t eat it here.

Been coming here for years. Good food with great people, both the customers and the staff. People here look you in the eye when speaking together, on any subject. You leave here full and happy, by making a connection with other people. People here are engaged in each other and at any given part of the day the people sitting together are speaking, or sitting quietly enjoying their food. Watching the cars go by, listening to the music, and not a phone in sight.
Go on in, sit down and relax. Great place and although the inside has had facelifts, the customers and staff are as relaxed and fun as when I first discovered it. One of my favorites in Houston.

The food was delicious I really enjoyed the food. It's nice to be able to find some good old-fashioned soul food when you are away from your home town. Thanks

OMG! One meat and 3 sides! Absolutely delicious! This was my first time at Alfreda's Soul Food and I will be back. 2 meals, less than 20.00 including drinks. I had Turkey legs, macaroni and cheese, collards, and yams. My husband had catfish, green beans, yams, and collards!

My new favorite soul food spot when I need to fulfill the need. The Mac and cheese is the best I’ve had since moving to Houston, the yams were fresher than I’ve ever had and though the greens could’ve been cooked a tad bit longer, they were seasoned well! Note that there are sooo many ways to season greens. The fish was good too! This is my new go-to spot. For Houston visitors, I vote this place over any other soul food place within a five mile radius.

Ok...I first want to say that once i got my meal, it was outstanding. Unfortunately, I had to wait patiently to eat it!!!
I met my cousin here for brunch on a Sunday morning before the UH vs Cincinnati basketball game. He arrived at 1015 AM. It took him 20 minutes to get his meal in a buffet styled serving line. I got there 30 min later and also waited 20 minutes. I kept smiling because it was obvious to me that there was no help. I ate eggs, bacon and toast. Had water and there was no coffee 😕😕😕. I still gave it 4 stars because the food was delicious.

Ordered the fish dinner which was 1 piece of fish, it was overcooked till it was dry. Had to wait 25 minutes for my food. Took it to go and was very disgusted with the meal. Threw the sorry $10.95 meal in the trash. No parking, no tables to sit because tables had not been bussed or cleaned. Alfreda's needs an overhaul.

This place is the best! A hidden gem! Everything on the menu is amazing and you will not be disappointed! Love the people that work there as well, they are so sweet and friendly! If you're visiting Houston, this is a must to try!

The food is horrible, over cooked, and dry. The employees have no customer service manners at all. I've seen roaches just crawling around on the counters, and spotted one inside of the banana pudding. I've never seen a roach that comes and join you at the table.. be aware of what you eat and where you eat at. Here is an picture of the establishment that serves your community.

The food was good. We came from Galveston, our boys moved in Texas Southern University today. Glad we found this place. Great hospitality.

Wish they had greens and black eye peas. Having said that staff was very friendly. Oh yeah, fix the pot holds in your parking lot.

I was so happy to go in for my second visit. Hard to choose. I could only get a one meat plate. Chose chitterlings. A Lott watered down/over cooked and way too salty. Tasted my lunch dates smothered pork chops, they melted in my mouth.
