“ Wow! Damn that was good. Do not miss it. Generous portions. The beef tips are legendary. Meatloaf and sweet potatoes were fantastic. Some of the best Mac I've had anywhere. The sweet tea is somehow sweeter than Kool Aid. ”

“ High recommend this place. The food is amazing , the staff is very friendly and will take care of you. Ox tail, chicken , or beef tip, can't go wrong and don't skip on the sweet potato pie! ”

“ Great down home cuisine exactly how it should be! Fair price and great portions and flavor. ”

“ My wife came home saying her friends told her this was a good place to eat. I had my doubts because I usually do not agree with them. Madea's hits it out of the park! The food is set up cafeteria style. As soon as I saw it, I wanted everything!!! I got beef tips & rice, chicken & dumplings, chicken Tetrazzini, and peach cobbler. The beef tips were tender and seasoned perfectly. The rice was cooked perfectly (warning I will say that word a lot). The chicken Tetrazzini was the best I have had in a long time!!! The chicken and dumplings are officially my favorite! Most places give you lots of dumplings and a little bit of chicken. Not here! Lots of chicken, lots of dumplings, and lots of flavor!!! The three veggies we got were sweet potatoes, cabbage, and mac and cheese! So good. Everything was perfect! I do not normally give 5 stars but Madea's deserves 10! ”

“ Out of me and my wife's' food, these were the best things I tasted here. The baked chicken was way better than the chicken fried steak, The broccoli cheddar rice casserole was better than the Mac and cheese, and the roll was better than the fried cornbread. My wife really didn't like the collards greens and the mashed potatoes were ok. I was specifically disappointed with the cornbread, there was no sweetness to it, all the sugar was on the kool aid lol. I do have to say that the peach cobbler was absolutely delicious and that alone will have me coming back. The staff was very friendly and service was fast. It did feel pricey but the portion was very generous. I would recommend take out rather than dining in since all food is on to-go plates already. Lastly, I want to say that I really loved the sweet yams and can't wait to eat that later as a snack. ”

“ Second time coming here, and it's been quite a while since the last. However, everything remains the same. Great food, amazing customer service, and a cute little place for family get togethers. I definitely recommend the ox tail, black eyed peas, green beans, collard greens, neck bones, Mac n cheese, cheese and broccoli rice, and corn bread. Stop by if you're in the area. It's worth it. ”

“ We've been traveling all of Texas for 4 months now. I was really looking forward to Southern Cooking & BBQ, because that's all you hear about. We FINALLY had some amazing Southern Cooking. We just came into town and we like to drive around for a little bit. Luckily we found this place. It was just the 3 of us, and when we came in we looked so lost lol. The gentleman up front was so sweet and patient with us. I asked for ox tails and told him if you could pick out the 3 sides for me. He picked the Mac n cheese (which I LOOOVED) the Yams (yumm) and greens. I didn't care for those but my husband LOOOVED those but he didn't care for the Yams. He said they were too sweet but they were my favorite. It was perfect, we just switched & we got more of what we loved. Growing up, my dad is from Texas & would always talk about how amazing Southern Cooking was, now I finally get to see what he's talking about. ”

“ After walking nearly 3 miles at the Fort Worth Zoo, we stopped by this recommended soul food place. There were so many options in the buffet, but I got my usual: baked chicken, cabbage, sweet potatoes and macaroni. The sweet potatoes were really good, mac and cheese was ok, and the cabbage was mildly seasoned. The chicken was delicious and was literally falling off the bone We also got the oxtail and black eye peas. The oxtails were very tender and seasoned very well. The black eye peas were full of meat and the combination with the hot water cornbread was chef's kiss. Just had to get the peach cobbler and I'm glad I did. The crust and peach ratio was everything!! So glad we ordered two. I had to put the main course aside once i tasted the peach cobbler. I couldn't stop eating it! Just know you are given enough food that can last two days. I had two leg quarters! They are very generous with the servings here. ”
