Reviews for The Greasy Spoon in Pearland, TX
This place is proof that looks can be deceiving!!!!! I won?t be back the food is nasty and definitely not soul food. Every thing... with cheese in it taste like cheese whiz ???? I ordered the oxtail plate, baked chicken plate and the fried fish and shrimp anda side of seafood pasta. Disgusting is an understatement, the rice is par boiled, chicken lacked flavor the gravy is out of apackage it?s thick and flavorless. The oxtails lack seasoning and flavor, the oxtail gravy is straight out of a package or flourand water. This place is a disgrace to soul food. Don?t wast you money they are pricey and nasty. Mac and cheese is watery thegreens are undercooked and under seasoned. For the price of the plate I didn?t even get a roll or cornbread! 1 out of 10 Do NOTRecommend! Read more
We will be back!! Glows: Friendly staff (they greet you coming in and going out) they seem happy to be at work. Budget friendly... daily specials cafeteria style as well as cooked to order options. The food was hot and fresh. Our favorite was the black-eyedpeas, cabbage, mashed potatoes, cornbread ,greens and lamb chops. The ambiance is great. They did wonderful job on decorations.Parking is easy and plentiful. Grows: The green beans were not good, i didn't taste the down home flavors like in the blackeyed peas. They seem to have been cooking a while, the smoked turkey egg rolls were not that good, but they did mention theywere out and wanted to put together some for me. Overall this place is a hit. The Glows definitely outweigh the Grows!!Definitely going back. Read more
Had a great experience. Service, atmosphere, cleanliness all good. Order was oxtail with cabbage and yams and catfish with man n... cheese and corn. The oxtail are not cooked the Caribbean way, they're southern cooked. It was out first time with those andthey were amazing. Yams and Mac n cheese were great. Cabbage is sweet but taste good as well. The corn was out last favorite.Nothing special. I meant to take a photo but it was that good. Anyway these cookies that we ate later were amazing. I'd go justfor the cookies. Definitely saving.

Ordered the smothered pork chop plate. The portions were more than enough. I would definitely suggest going early, there was... over a 40 minute wait if you wanted anything cooked to order like the fried chicken which I ended up not ordering due to that.Otherwise if they had more staff to make the plates the line would have gone quicker. I have 4 out of 5 just because of the timewe had to wait just to get inside to even get food. Will go again and try the brunch next time since I know what to expect. Read more
I would best describe this location as "healthy soul food"....but please don't think this description takes away from the good... food. The staff was very pleasant and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and well decorated. The serving area had greatorganization and clean. The server took the time to explain and inform on food preparation. I ordered the Oxtails over rice,cabbage and macaroni and cheese. I thought I would have some of my meal left to take home but that didn't happen. I willdefinitely return and try to catch a night when the live band plays. Read more
I tried The Greasy Spoon for the Sunday Gospel Brunch. There was a line as soon as I arrived. The owner had someone bring out... drink samples so the wait wasn't too bad. Once inside there was another line to order, more drink samples offered and the bandwas playing. While you wait you can place your drink order and have it brought to the line. All of the staff was pleasant andattentive. I had the lamb chops which are cooked to order so there was more waiting. It was well worth the wait. The lamb chopswere seasoned and cooked perfect. They didn't ask the cook temp but they were medium well. I had yams, rice and mac n cheese asmy sides. I prefer a baked casserole style mac n cheese this was more of Velveeta stove top style but let me tell you it wasgood and flavorful, so much so that I ate it even though it wasn't as hot as the rest of my meal. I will definitely go back on aless busy day. Read more
Collard green and turkey meat egg rolls are everything!!! I enjoyed everything I ate and will be going back very soon. The... atmosphere is very nice and the jazz vibe is something you just have to go check out for yourself. Oh we had some very strongmargaritas as well Read more
My 1st time here and I ordered to go. Got the smothered chopped steak and O.M.G!! It's on top of rice, with gravy and I... ordered green beans (taste like Grandma's!), Mac and cheese (creamy and cheesy), and a side of the greens (very good taste!). Sweet cornbread!! I didn't need to add anything to this meal!! Customer service was great and timely! They were playing theold school jams, nice vibe!! I will be returning!!! Read more
