This place has been on my bucket list for years.

[@mj27781]

I’m finally going in May and I can’t wait. Lol

[@crytkryssus9851]

They're going through some turmoil. A divorce and one of them was stealing money. I did go like a year ago though, and it was delicious. Loved the swamp fries as well.

@@Terminal-Vet you are right!! You will definitely need a bucket for sure

[@JacksonWalter735]

I miss Turkey Leg Hut so much. I used to live a few houses behind there and had to visit at least once a week. It was like god was testing me every time I came home and smell those smokers. The stuffed leg and shrimp alfredo legs were my go-tos. Lynn and Nakia are some of the sweetest people I've ever interacted with at a restaurant and they really care about their customer's experience. Sometimes I wonder if it was a mistake to move away to Florida for a promotion, and Turkey Leg Hut is one of the primary reasons why. It is that good. I miss Houston and can't wait for the day I come back home. I need to try all the other options that they added onto their menu.

[@ChefJames-SlapShack]

I definitely will be visiting when I go to Texas

[@Duwonn]

Got dirty rice stuffed Turkey leg while I was in Houston, compliments to the chef.

When a Man has a Good Wife and they are a TEAM... and working to do GOOD and BLESS others... than this is what happens... that food looks incredibly delicious and it is easy to see why they are successful!!! God bless Texas!

[@velvetice100]

Yes the food is banging if you ever come to Houston please stop by ❤

[@ChrisBeenRaw]

Well this one aged well damn

[@joycelefear2139]

Thank you. My Son told me the information as far as he knows. I love what you guys are doing. Thanks.

[@JayDee-bf7dd]

I'm glad to see its still open! We've been there a few times before. After the $2,000,000 in various lawsuits started to come out, I wasnt sure what would happen. We always get the stuffed boudin and the mac and cheese. It's pricey but it's always lunch, dinner, and lunch for us so your dollar really stretches out.

[@samsmith3082]

The City of Houston health department closed this place down for 35 health code violations on site.

[@kennethdavis459]

Keep up the great work

[@marilynwebb2679]

I never like turkey legs. I've made them for other people, and never ate them. I had one of their turkey legs and OMG they are so good! I would love to actually go their and have one of those stuffed legs.

[@334honda]

$20 and up for a large bone. But that can be said for a t bone also.

[@cazbantu4233]

I tried a turkey legs from a Soul Food restaurant near me and I was so disappointed. I’m from Texas and we always have turkey legs from football games to the county fair.

[@jacksparrow7300]

I love the Turkey Leg Hut always great food and fellowship.

[@grap3eblood]

“we weren’t allowed to see the smokers, or set foot in the kitchen” yeah after that health department shutdown the other day, I wonder why that was 😂😂😂

[@godisamazing7074]

There's a video on KZbin where some people were on vacation they rented a Mercedes SUV had all of their luggage and everything else in the SUV went to TLH came back out to leave and someone had broke the back of the window and took everything that was in the car . If u go their don't leave anything of value in the car and lock all of your doors.

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

It’s in the ghetto! And it’s obvious! Lucky there was still an SUV sitting there....

[@kidmack3556]

Gotta stop living up to the billings and stop victimizing each other.

[@MIMI232]

So they basically just place the toppings on top of the turkey leg…🤔🥴

[@perrygay337]

Amazing looking plates, great job

[@dicedpineapples9423]

Best turkey legs I ever tasted ! Great vibes !

[@kidmack3556]

Because of several delays and those last minute boarding gate mix-ups at Bush Intl. I promised myself to no longer book flights that have me change planes in Houston. BUT NOW... After seeing what they are workin' with at the Turkey Leg Hut, I might welcome a three or four hour delay.

[@edithhilt6290]

Yolo come on down to Houston and stay a while!

[@Mr.MKBone]

Oh god. That food looks like heaven

[@Jgeetharealg]

I really want them to fight to keep their family together , it won't be easy but it will be worth it....

[@scottmcwave9479]

That one with the gravy, I’ll have that please!

[@mikek6461]

"we ran a whole kitchen with no food preparation experience" this ended well

[@donhgr]

Never been to Texas but we been making these at home like that for years seasoning and a rubbed in soft butter the wrapped in foil after they’re smoked and they shake right off the bone. Don’t know about stuffing but that’s how you do the legs

[@KayExposesTruth]

Interesting and sad ending...

[@Alfred-s8f]

Look what they got going on now...😮

[@elkhunter76]

Dang I wish we had a place like that here! Great looking food!

[@bennettsimona84]

I had this in when I tell you this shit was so good

[@Phenomenal8448]

He said he runs a tight shift then how did your business get robbed by the people you supposed to trust to handle your money? And the accusations of them not paying their employees talking about they can rehire their fired employees in the summer.. what about the employees owe money more than six weeks? I was hoping that was Kelli Phillips formerly kfdm news

[@Jamesssssssssssssss]

This didn't age well, they were just shut down for 35 major code violations. I guess the only thing that gets past him is the wind and those 35 code violations

[@everettowens4316]

Best Turkey leg ever I’ve been there that food is good.

[@The_Black_Sheep95]

This place was just shut down 2 days ago for multiple ongoing health violations. just check Houstons local news

[@sharocks4584]

Eagle eyeing me eating...I think not

[@rnvrnv354]

Ya'll have revolutionized Soul Food!

[@jamesmebaby]

Haters are everywhere

[@lionofjudah6763]

My first time eating there the Turkey Leg and Rice was so very delicious. It is worth the visit if you ever in Houston, TX. The parking can be challenging so I just paid the money around $10 to park.

[@samsmith3082]

they got into big trouble (sued) for not paying their suppliers, did they get that cleared up???

[@polobuk8491]

Shhhhh 😂

[@jamesthomes303]

Gotta pay the plug 🔌

[@dealnomore]

[@larrywob5611]

I'm going guess that they use a aquarium smoker since they're from Chicago

[@TheeOne4.44]

I swear Chicagoans make history wherever we go! Did you know that Hollywood CA now has Harold's Chicken? #ChiTownBigBusiness 💪🏽

[@zahmmy1]

This place is not cheap. $16.49 for a plain turkeyleg-no stuffing up to $38.49 each for the ones with seafood.

[@MrColeman631]

Best time to go

[@LG-universe]

😮

[@mannyescamilla716]

Darn! That is pricey. TCR would do its viewers a favor by stating pricing too.

[@tomarasmith4459]

Food isn't cheap a turkey leg that size is $10

[@earltolefree]

Who said anything about it having to be cheap. You want cheap, go buy you one the grocery store and cook it at home.

[@bosse641]

Super tasty I'm sure. ....but all those CALORIES!! Have to work out 24/7 for a week after that!

[@pkp6791]

Yes!! It looks like one plate could serve me 4 times. The portion sizes are insane for someone who eats the amount of calories they SHOULD be eating. Lol!

[@TheeOne4.44]

You don't have to eat it all at once, ya know LoL

[@MT-ru1oh]

i cook for a living almost 20 yrs now. i respect what they doing and i love turkey legs but i don't want my turkey leg meat falling off the bone when i pick it up. i cook mine tender but i can still hold it and get a clean textured bite. not tuff like fair turkey legs but a bit more tende. same thing with beef roast i dont want it shredded or anything like that
