Look I am going to tell you the truth my plate was absolutely delicious. My wife bought me just before she flew back to Phoenix,AZ and oh my goodness I was happy with the portion size, and the food was seasoned. Good laid so delicious. I had some greens, yams, oxtails and rice and corn bread. My taste buds and tummy thx you.

I come by on my way back to Tyler. I been wanting some soul food and couldn't decided between Tppiys or Esthers. I choose Esthers How ever it wasn't whAt I normally get a. The oxtail were tough and I only got 4 of them and one was full of fat. I had to add salt and pepper. I never add seasoning to my food. I was very disappointed with my $20.00 plus meal yesturday and I brought guest from out of town . And we brought desserts that did taste fresh. I'm just saying something went wrong with the food on Sunday.

How much for a ox tail plate with two sides?

Herman Johnson | Oct 12, 2019
Corliss White | Oct 12, 2019

In my opinion Esthers is okay. I thought they were a little expensive. Taste was okay. I'd rather cooked myself and did after that. My biggest problem I thought it was too salty. They're okay to just get by.

We normally have chitterlings but due to COVID the factories do not have them. So it’s basically a drought of chitterlings

Why have I been put on hold twice today in excess of 10 minutes--I'm holding now--13 minutes and counting--after ordering on Uber Eats and receiving only half of my order. I ordered $26.00 worth of food and only received half of it! Still holding!

Cheryl Dearborne (Cherry) | Oct 12, 2018

I would suggest that Esther display great customer service for there call in customers as well. Maybe they can assign or hire someone for that position only. If Esther's signed up for Uber eats they should have taken that under considerations.
