If rude and humiliating service is your thing, this is the place for you. I've been there once. I tried to go a second time but I couldn't take it... I walked out and went to Zydecos on Pease and San Jacinto. Thelma's is doing more to promote other Houston restaurants than any advertising ever could.

Pros: good food

Cons: bad attitudes

I WENT TO THELMA'S TWICE. I NOTICED THE LADY AT THE FRONT WHO TAKES THE ORDERS HAD A VERY BAD ATTITUDE THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME MYSELF, MY FIANCE', AND MY COUSIN WENT, MY FIANCE' ASKED HER IF HE COULD GET A RIB PLATE AND 1 PIECE OF FISH ON THE SIDE. SHE SAID "NOPE", VERY NASTY. I THEN ASKED HER IF WE COULD JUST PAY EXTRA FOR THE FISH ON THE SIDE. SHE SAID "UM...NO YOU CAN'T ITS NOT ON THE MENU YOU CAN'T GET IT." I WAS LIKE "OK". SHE HAD A NASTY ATTITUDE THE ENTIRE TIME. WHEN WE WERE ORDERING OUR FOOD SHE WAS HURRYING US AND WHEN WE FINISHED I TOLD MY FIANCE' WE NEEDED TO PAY FOR IT FIRST AND SHE THEN SAID " WELL YEAH SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR IT." THAT REALLY SENT ME OVER THE EDGE AND SO I TOLD MY FIANCE' THIS WOULD BE OUR LAST TIME EATING HERE. SHE THEN TURNED AROUND AND SAID "YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY HERE NOW, YOU CAN LEAVE!!" VERY NASTY. MY FIANCE TOLD US "PUT THAT &^%#! DOWN! "AND WE LEFT OUT OF THERE. I DID NOT APPRECIATE THAT. NO ONE'S FOOD IS THAT GOOD. SHE WILL LOSE A LOT OF BUSINESS THAT WAY. PEOPLE HAVE TO FEEL COMFORTABLE AT THE PLACES THEY EAT. ANYONE WHO HASN'T BEEN THERE: SHE WILL HAVE AN ATTITUDE EVERY TIME AND YOU WILL KNOW WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU WANT FRIENDLY SERVICE AND PEOPLE WHO RESPECT YOU, DO NOT GO TO THELMAS!
