Treebeards in Houston

Ok, I dont want this  to be critical but informative.

It was more like dip, cook not giving the chicken that jerk flavor all the way through overall I gave it a 7. The collard greens were just a total miss. They had flavor just not traditional southern flavoring and they were under cooked. Overall I gave them a 5. The black eyes were just wrong.

Our visit did not add up to the standards I talked it up over all this time. Upon entering the Katy Freeway location, I was surprised to see it was a walkup and order type establishment. It's understandable I did not know this as my experience with Treebeards was always a c...
