It's a small place, a little hole in the wall place, but those kinds of places pack a punch in a major way when it comes to taste and selection. First time checking it out but it was great, and I would definitely suggest it, I had the roast beef, cabbage and mashed potatoes and gravy. It was delicious tastes like Grandma did it. Black owned business and would definitely give it flowers . Imma make sure I give him a shout-out on my radio station Texoma BMG Hot 92. If you guys haven't checked it out, definitely suggest it. From Lawton and checked out the reviews and took a try on it leaving the city. It's a must go!!

We got another one y’all this food is 10 out of 10 service 10 out of 10. Even the presentation, the warmth of the food it’s not even made to order and it’s still taste so fresh so good they want me over today. I got a pork chop meatloaf with a side of Black Eyed Peas and a corn on the cob and I have no complaints. Polks house might not look like much from the outside or the inside but best believe you’re going to get some genuine down south cooking in this establishment very respectful workers quick service I will be back

Polk House should be a five star all the way around. Atmosphere well there is none. It is truly a hole in the wall, which is what makes it unique and special now, I want to start with the service you’re talking about polite, well mannered people they are so friendly and extremely kind. They have different food items on the menu daily. The food is delicious. The prices are reasonable. We had catfish and honey wings with macaroni, baked beans, and cabbage..

Hidden cultural gem, open late, best lobster I've had in what feels like my whole life but probably not.
