This is a very good place to eat a home cooked soul food meal or a bbq meal. The food, service , atmosphere were so warm and inviting it was family and friends made it even better. This place is a southern country girls home away from home when it comes to food and atmosphere . They even serve Kool aid. Dietary restrictions: Leave your diet restrictions in the car though

I sent my wife on Saturday to pick up me a three meat bar b que plate with chili beans and collord greens as the two sides after viewing the price and food on the website and the price for the plate was $15.99/ and I also spoke with an employee before my wife got there and clearly said that they have collord greens but when my wife got there to pick the food up she called me while she was there and I had only given her $20.00 dollars since the 3 meat plate only shows $15.99 on the website so while she was on the phone with me I hear the employee saying that the collord greens were mixed with cabbage and to top it all off she stated that the 3 meat plate was $27.00 dollars and I was very disappointed and tried to get my wife to leave the food there and get my money back but the employee insisted that she would take the $20.00 dollars for the food and got home with the food and it was the side was all cabbage and no collord greens which I was lied to and the Chilli beens tasted like ranch style beans and the ribs and brisket tasted like they were baked in the oven with no flavor their bar b que plates are way over priced and you guys really need to update your food prices on your website and this makes me very disappointed and because of this I will not be ordering bar b que from this establishment anymore in the future and for this cause Nikki and lamar deserves a 1 star rating

This is a for real soul food joint. You walk in and are greeted by the ladies working there who you know have been friends since childhood. By the time you leave they feel like your own family. The fried chicken is probably the best I ve ever had. Sides were pretty solid too.

I m at work and working a 12 hour shift I came to work this morning only thinking I was gonna be here a few hours but some people called in so I wanted to pick up some extra time I asked my pops if he can bring me some food because I didn t bring a lunch . I will say when he first brought me the food I looked at it and I was just like where did he get this and what is it because he wouldn t tell me he just said he brought me some good food now never in my life have I had sweet potatoes that I liked so I would never eat them When I tell you, oh my God, this is hands-down, the best food in the town of Bryan College Station I will definitely be coming here very frequently as much as possible cause I want to try everything. It was delicious. I was so full, but I couldn t even stop eating because it was that good if you haven t tried this place and you were looking to try something new do not think twice just do it.

Homemade sides feom macaroni and cheese to black-eyed peas that make you want seconds. If you are anywhere close to the Bryan area, make this a stop on your food adventures.

Do you want to feel like someone is cooking just for you? That is how I felt at Lamar & Nikis. The food was so good; such huge portions! I had the hamburger steak, black eye peas, mac and cheese, and cornbread. I was so full that I didnt want dinner last night. The staff was super friendly and came by to make sure everything was well a couple of times. It was all so wonderful and homey. I highly recommend Lamar & Nikis if you are in the area. Well be back when we are in town again.

The hype is real. We stopped by for a Saturday lunch, since they have BBQ on Saturdays. I got a plate of fried chicken because I saw them bring out a fresh batch as we walked in. Everything was genuinely excellent. I m a big fan of sides and I m now in love with theirs. The stuffing with gravy I could eat alllll day. Mac n cheese, cabbage n greens, yams, every single thing tasted so flavorful. The bbq and fried chicken were equally amazing. The chicken was so moist with a perfect crispy skin and just packed with flavor. All the bbq was sooo tender and tasty. You ve gotta stop by. Oh, and all the ladies cooking were extremely sweet and welcoming. We will 100% be back

Visited Lamar and Nikki s while in Bryan visiting my mother after the death of my father. Not only was the food delicious but the people Lamar and Nikki and all the staff knew my parents from years of almost weekly visits. They rushed to support my mother when they heard the news. Their kindness and superb food are a shining star in the B/CS area. Try the fried chicken and cabbage.

Idk what happened today but this food was absolutely terrible! Nothing was seasoned at all. The chili beans lacked flavor and the Mac and cheese was horrible. I ordered a plate of bbq for almost $24, and the brisket and ribs had no smoke ring at all. Its as though they put it on a charcoal pit or grill and finished it in the oven. I love to support my ppl but theres no excuse for a $24 plate of food being inedible. Ive never had bbq worse than this in BCS at all. Good Lord it was absolutely horrible

He guided us through the menu of the day (different food items for each day of the week.)

This is a must-visit if youre in the area. Everything about eating here was quintessential comfort - they were so helpful and kind at the counter, the food sent me to another heavenly dimension, and I napped right after. Even with the large portions, you want to keep eating. We ordered almost everything off their Wed menu - smothered chicken, butter beans, rice, candied yams, cabbage, and greens and it was all so good - Im drooling even thinking about it. For dessert, we ordered their peach cobbler and their 7 Up cake slice (sort of like a lemon pound cake) and I loved how moist and rich the cake was.

I have been here several times and gotten a variety of dishes (admittedly with the yams as a side more often than not...hah!) and I have yet to have a bad thing or, really, even just a mediocre thing... They have delivered high quality tasty food every single time. The people who work there always go out of their way to make you feel at home. If you live in B/CS and have not been here... Ask yourself why, look over their daily menus and make your way to them for a delicious meal. 2022-07-28 If you have not made it here yet, ask yourself why. Good food, good people, good service. If you want to comfort meal that makes you feel good, you need to get here quick.

Summary: Fantastic food, immaculate vibe, go often and try everything!! Youll be happy ************** Having recently moved to the area, Ive been meaning to check out this local soulfood joint. Today atunch I learned that Lamar & Nikis is deserving of the high praises. Meatloaf, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and cornbread were all winners! The iced tea was delicious too. I finished with the peach cobbler a la mode. The cobbler has a surprising and very welcome hint of nutmeg (??) or something that made it extra delicious. It has to be noted that the welcoming staff and gracious vibe was the icing on the cake! This place is a local treasure and Ill be back to try all the other days specials!!! Yum!

Some of the best food I ve tasted. Lamar and Niki are two very nice people that put their ankle in their food. They go above and beyond with service too, told me whenever I come to just call ahead and let them know Tony from college station was comin and they ll help me out

I love the food and most of all the owners and the staff. However, I blame them for the weight Ive gained for the past few years..just kidding..but the food is delicious. I love Lamar, Nikki (owners) and their wonderful staff, especially Billie Ross. She always have a ready smile. If you havent visited them please go. Their days and hours of operation are: Tuesday-Saturday 11-4PM They are closed Sunday and Monday, and the Saturday leading up to the 1st of the month. Happy Eating...

GTSd this place for somewhere to eat for lunch today and it was right next door surprisingly. Fried Chicken...was the freakin bomb! And they wouldnt let us getta way without finishing it off with some peach cobbler. Other than drive back to Houston being miserable...no way that was gonna be their fault. Great job on the quality, and we will definitely be back...I wanna try them ribs on the right day

Im in town for work, and already found my favorite place. Kind of get sad when I get full, because I want more. As another person said, this place has the best yams Ive ever tasted. Seriously.

I m originally from South Carolina, so anytime I get a chance to eat Soul Food it s a treat. We decided to try Lamar and Niki s Pit BBQ and Soul Food while visiting our daughter in College Station, and the visit did not disappoint. I had the two meat BBQ, I chose ribs and brisket with potato salad, cornbread, onion and pickles, and cornbread dressing and gravy (you get to choose sides from a variety of options). My daughter had a 2 meat meal as well, she chose brisket, sausage, cabbage, green beans, and cornbread. My wife had a one meat meal, and she chose ox tail( which she had never eaten before), cabbage, sweet potatoes, and cornbread. The food was excellent! My only complaint is I ate too much! If you have never eaten here you are truly missing out on wonderful food. They owners and employees are some of the nicest and most inviting people if ever met. We will eat here again the next time we are in town.

Bruh. Hit that navigate to button and get on over to this amazing spot. The food is made with love, the ribs were awesome but the meatloafmm... Im literally been dreaming about having that same meatloaf again. Lets talk about the staff its small joint and they dont just welcome you in as a customer they treat you as family. Treat them with respect and come often. Ive only been once and I absolutely love them and what theyre doing here. Kudos guys and gals!!

When I walked in, I was greeted so warmly with beautiful smiles from everyone. It was refreshing. I wanted to come back eat at your restaurant at that point and I hadn t even tasted the food yet. We served 12 people lunch and 5 people asked where we got the food from. They said it was the best BBQ they had ever eaten. I took some of the leftovers home and my husband and kids tore it up! My husband made the comment that he knew this was not from a chain BBQ restaurant and whoever made this brisket knew what they were doing. I m eating the leftovers 3 days later for lunch and it is just as good today as it was on Friday. The brisket is still falling apart! The potato salad is amazing too! Oh, and I think you could open a mac & cheese restaurant and do just fine. :) Well done!

I love everything here ! The only thing I could complain about is that I wish they had their delicious Mac and cheese everyday lol. My dad is a long time friend of lamar! The hospitality of this place is amazing. Makes you feel right at home and they constantly ask how everything is so that if anything were ever wrong , they could get it right ! You have to try the koolaid as well !

Just saw this place was rated top 100 Yelp restaurants in Texas 2021. Been holding on to this review for a couple years cause the food was decent. Ill never forget the day I went. Found a hair in my dressing. But the part that really got me was when they handed me my cup of water and they accidentally dumped the entire cup over all their food in the bar. The people in line behind me still ordered and ate the food.
