Food was so good. Creaole/cajun comfort food. We tried gumbo, pork chop, fish, boudin and bread pudding. All delicious. Service was over the top good. Every one friendly and helpful. Don't miss out on this place. The owner is 95 years old and a lovely beautiful person.
Best gumbo in town and I know I'm from New Orleans!! Staff nice and knowledgeable. Only place I'll go in town for Gumbo.
Red beans and rice A real friendly crew, made you feel right at home My husband had the pork chop plate thoroughly enjoyed his meal. I had the shrimp po boy the roll was real tasty
Food is good, I respect the work she's doing for others. I can even understand the use of disposable plates etc. Prices very reasonable. But 1/2 price for refill on drinks when you don't even get a full cup seems a bit excessive. Tea does not cost that much. Dessert were sold out my noon???? I might pick up to go but most likely will not eat in again.
My husband and I visited San Antonio in 2021. We had the distinct pleasure to meet Ma Harper. She gave some WISDOM NUGGETS and BLACK history. The food was awesome, the service was great. Can't wait to visit again. Thanks Ma, for taking time with me.
I stopped in for some seafood gumbo . The service was very busy for a lunchtime crowd It's still my all time favorite for Cajun food
Great food from a wonderful lady that has done a lot in her many years. Will definitely be going back. The pork chop was delicious and the red beans and rice is always on point. Can't forget the wonderful gumbo and cornbread.
I found this place by typing in "soul food " ... YELP! This is definitely what my husband and I needed in our bellies. Ma graced us with her presence and wisdom. We felt right at home in Louisiana . If I had a bullhorn I would scream to everyone I know to go have a great ,stick to your stomach then grab a couch/bed meal ! from Ma Harper's Creole Kitchen. Sorry folks the aroma was so good that I didn't take pictures of the food. I will go back when I'm in town for sure for sure :)
This review is for outstanding customer service and some amazing peach cobbler. There's nothing like being greeted with a big smile and a hearty welcome when you enter an establishment. When that happened, I knew this was going to be a great experience. But the icing on the cake was being able to chat with the owner, Ma Harper, herself! She pours into her business by setting high expectations for employees, sharing wonderful tidbits with customers and cooking some scrumptious food. On this visit, I enjoyed peach cobbler. The next time, I want to try her award winning gumbo.
My fourth time here (visiting from L.A.). What a wonderful place with GREAT food and kind people working here. I had the delicious Gumbo today and got to sit down and talk to Ma Harper herself. She's 94 years young. About 18 mobths ago...she prayed with me for my brother who died of cancer last year. Bless her and everyone here. Come and eat here ! The food is great and full of love. P.S. , she just told me they're doing smothered pork chops tomorrow! I'll be here after I run the San Antonio half marathon (to honor my brother who died of cancer in October).
