My wife and I are from austin, but had to give this a try while were in town. Amazing. Popular place, so we stood in line for about 10 minutes, but it was worth it. First, the server on the line was extremely friendly and helpful, explaining the selections for us (apologies to the good folks behind us in line!). I had the the Pepper Steak and my wife had the oxtails. We picked sides so we could share and «sample». There was not a single item we didn’t completely enjoy! On the way out, struck up a random conversation with one of the «regulars» … very fascinating gentleman. So glad we tried it, and we will definitely be back at our first opportunity.

Omg best soul food in town! I always get the ox tails with mashed potatoes and the yams! The smothered pork chops are amazing just as well. My husband orders the chicken & dumplings. Honestly you really can’t go wrong with anything here. Just remember calories don’t count when you’re eating such amazing food! Be ready for a food coma afterwards because the food is that good!

Sunday; 5÷22÷16; 2:00 pm ish.
Approx 30 min wait in line… no biggie 4me.
I have probably been here 8 – 10 times throughout the years (2 locations only)
Great comfort food.
Us 3 at our table had Smothered Pork Chops/​Ham Hocks/​Smothered Trky/​2 al carte entrees of Fried Catfish/​Okra & Tomatoes/​White Rice & Gravy/​Black-​Eyed Peas/​Mashed Potatoes & Gravy/​Collard Greens/​Seasoned Green Beans/​Mac& Cheese.
3 totally empty plates at completion of meal; enough said.
The smothered trky (whole pieces) was new to me and particularly… AWESOME.
No deal breaking complaints to mention.
No pics because I am greedy and started digging in to my plate immediately.
See yall again soon.

I ordered the oxtail plate and I can’t say it met expectations. I think the problem is that I expected to have a plate of my mama’s oxtails which obviously no one can make besides her I had the mac and cheese yams and green beans as sides but they weren’t what I expected. The mac was not that bad but the yams were just ok. Again I expected mama’s cooking not mashed yams. Their flavor was nice but texture was not a candy yams texture more like a mashed sweet potatoes style; but the oxtails were tough which ruined it all. The flavor was great but when I pick up an oxtail I want it to fall apart so I can get all the meat is literally had to chew the meat while still on the bone tug at it try and cut it and it still wouldn’t come off. All in all it wasn’t the best experience and being that the girl who took my order over the phone was extremely rude I doubt I’ll be going back.

It was a pretty cool place. I’m from Chicago and it reminds me of Morrisons. Nice people feels very homey. They give you ALOT of food. The short ribs were good. But the macaroni wasn’t that good. I would go back tho.

I’m from the South. and I LOVE soul food! This is It in Houston offers great soul food options served in a cafeteria style format. I got the pork chop dinner with yams, dressing, and collard greens. The meal also comes with 2 cornbread muffins. The portions are generous and in an ideal world, I should have had leftovers, but I am greedy. The prices are a bit on the pricier end, but I guess the portion sizes makes up for it. I thought the pork chop was a bit under seasoned, the greens were A1, the yams could have been sweeter, and the dressing was on point.
I also got a peach cobbler. I had a generous portion of the crust, which is my fave so I was definitely pleased with that. The cobbler was good, but not inspirational. In general, if you are looking for good soul food, you will be pleased with This Is It, but just don’t expect to be over the moon with it or brought to tears.

Amazing food. The staff were friendly and helpful. We couldn’t decide what to eat, so the gentleman told us his favorites and suggested different choices for each of us. The portions were more than generous, warm, and delicious. The atmosphere was interesting– so many fun trivia and facts posted around the building. I would eat here every week if I didn’t have to go home.

I visited This Is It! today around 1:30. I was greeted by the friendly staff and stood in line. The restaurant had a decent crowd and was very clean. Dinners range in price from $ 10.50-$ 14.50 and comes with 3 sides. Desserts and drinks are extra. I ordered the oxtail dinner with cabbage, Mac and cheese and yams. I forgot how good their gravy is! Also, gumbo is available on Fridays. Overall, good soul food, reasonably priced in a typical café atmosphere.

I have been there too many times to give them more than three stars. There used to be a to go line. There used to be a menu that you could look at the entrees of the day. No more. If you have been to Mikki’s soul food down on Bellfort then I would suggest not coming here. It does not compare although the staff behind the counter are friendly.
The entrees are acceptable but not better than average. Collard greens n mac n cheese are good but lip smacking good? No. Warm up that little piece of catfish the next day n it tastes like rubber. Yuck. Ick. The sides tasted about the same so I eat them. No fried chicken on sundays and aint that a damn shame for soul food spot?! On Sunday? Anyway, all the other other entrees on Sunday are smothered in gravy or something. Im not into that. Its a few miles from where my company posted me up at so it’s a quick fix but certainly not the best

I don’t often pass out low star reviews but this food was no better than average cafeteria food. I really wanted to like this place. After working in the area for a while my colleagues and I wanted a really good home cooked meal. I turned to Unilocal and I have to say that my Unilocalers let me down on this one. We thought we struck Gold after seeing the extremely long line… after a 45 minute wait chose chicken combo with fish, yams mac n cheese greenbeans, with a side of dressing and cobbler. The highlight was the cobbler everything else was lacking flavor. The chicken was dry and the dressing was wet. I’m used to firm dressing. I couldn’t deal. .definitely disapppointed. This is it… my first and last visit!

If you’re looking for Soul Food, THIS IS IT! If I can describe the food, it’s sex in you’re mouth! Sorry for the empty plate, I ate all the food before I could take a proper photo.
I had the Ox tail, rice, mash potatoes, and cabbage. Everything was tender and melted in your mouth. Not too greasy and large portions, you won’t be disappointed!

Today I was in the mood for some smothered pork chops. So I visited «THIS IS IT» soul food restaurant located on Blodgett in the hart if 3rd Ward. I was very disappointed, I’m only giving it a 2 star rating because it was clean and the young men serving the food were very nice and personable. Although, the food is terrible.
This is not the «THIS IS IT» from back in the day when it was located in midtown. «Although it was not that great then», but today was unacceptable. My food smelled burnt and tasted tough & scorched the meat was under seasoned. The mac& cheese was watery… It looked like box Mack & cheese poorly made. They must have a student make this mac&cheese in his or her dorm room on a hot plate and bring this over to the restaurant to sale because that was a week excuse for mac&cheese. It plain to see that they have lowered quality for profit. SMH!!!
Over all I was disappointed since I had a taste for Soul Food, smothered pork chops, I settled on the ox tails. I will never visit «THIS IS IT» again. my plate was $ 15.00. This to much to pay for burnt meat, I paid $ 15.00 for nasty food. Very disappointed!!!

I remembered that they have gumbo on Fridays so I popped in for lunch. I had not had their Gumbo in a long while but from what I recalled it was really good. This time was a disappointment. In my opinion it was not from scratch. It tasted like a ‘box’ base and I am not a fan of those at all. What I did like was that you get a hearty helping of the chicken, sausage, crab, and shrimp. The staff is friendly and welcoming. 4 stars because I enjoy coming here for other items. But I will be getting the gumbo again.

To sum it up in one word: Blah.
I was pleased with the customer service, efficiency, and quickness of this cafeteria styled eatery; however, the food itself was less than brag worthy.
My catfish, yams, and chocolate cake were tasty! The rest, not so much… cornbread muffins were burnt, the dressing tasted like moistened (flavorless) bread crumbs, and the cabbage was mediocre. The ultimate disappointment though, was the macaroni and cheese! Overcooked soggy noodles and extremely bland. Basically I was only able to enjoy 50% of my meal.
I will give them another shot in the future as I am hoping I just caught the restaurant on a bad day but it’s a shame when you’ve tasted better soul food in Las Vegas, NV than in the South. In conclusion, This Is NOT It and I am still on the hunt for the best soul food in H-​Town.

If you don’t come early enough of Sunday’s, they will run out of something. It’s best to come during the week for lunch or get it to go. They use to have a 10% discount for TSU students. I came earlier this year and they had stopped it. I only eat the oxtails and Chiltlins when I dine here. Those are really good. Can’t really speak on any other food items.
No waiter service. Cafeteria style.

I used to go to This Is It often when they were located in midtown but haven’t had a chance to check out their new location (well not new anymore). Finally had a chance to make it out there, and it felt good. Like reuniting with a long lost friend.
You gotta like soul food. And just know it’s going to be heavy. Vegetables are cooked with bacon. Meat smothered in sauce. Cornbread full of butter. Not low carb, gluten free, paleo, or skinny friendly. But it sure is GOOD. Smothered pork chops and oxtail are my favorite.
People are friendly, and food is tasty. Prices have climbed over the years, but it’s still a ton of food for what you pay. Make sure to share a meal or take half home as leftovers – it’s a lot. Sometimes when I eat here it is my only meal of the day. It’s definitely enough calories!

Craving soul food!!! I got the smothered pork chops, black eyed beans, cabbage, and white rice to go! Enough food to feed a family of four on one plate!!! Trust and believe it’s worth your monies…
Beautiful scenery with a exotic fish tank, awards, and pictures of celebrities. I love this place do to the fact it’s family friendly. I felt like I was at big momma house!!! Except I had to go home. Lol!
