Ma Harper's Creole Kitchen

Fried Catfish, red beans & rice, phenomenal! The peach cobbler here is the best peach cobbler I have ever had in my life! I was shocked! Better than my grandmothers! The sweet potato was great as well! Good Swamp water too! Atmosphere could use some work! Momma Harper is a delight!

As out of towners- this was our first time visiting Ma Harper's. The seating staff was so friendly and inviting. However, We waited 40 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and take our drink orders. We waited another hour or so for a bowl of gumbo and a fish plate. What was most upsetting- a family (not of my same ethnicity) arrived and sat behind us. Within minutes they received their salads and plates which were similar to ours. I'm not saying this was racism but it definitely was upsetting to see the difference in customer service provided to both families. The fish was nothing short of amazing and the Gumbo was great too.. The rice could use a bit more flavor also. But due to this bad experience, we will not be visiting again.

Ma Harper's is a family friendly restaurant with fantastic Creole cooking. Gumbo was amazing. Red beans and rice and boudin was on par with some of the best from New Orleans

This is a gem! The shrimp po boy was delicious (including the bread!). Right amount of batter on the shrimp too. For 10 bucks? That's unheard of. Oh and get yourself extra fried chips. Nice and accommodating staff too, which doesn't hurt. Didn't expect a bit of New Orleans in San Antonio. Super nice surprise.

Fantastic Food!!! Red beans and rice, cornbread and bread pudding, Yum! You must come and enjoy the food and the staff, they are amazing and very friendly!!
Diners, Drive Ins and Dives recommend it. So glad we came!!

Went to visit my granny this weekend. This was my first time in San Antonio, Texas. I heard Ma Harper’s had great food so I had to stop by. I got the fried fish and shrimp with red beans and rice and gumbo with cornbread. Everything was amazing, especially the gumbo. My granny is 95 and I found out her and Ms Harper are friends. I can’t wait to come back and visit. I’ll def make sure I order a gumbo to go!!!!!

We found this place by accident and we will for sure go back. I loved the family atmosphere, so comfortable. They treat anyone who walks through that door like they've known you for years. Oh and the food was delicious, it tasted like we were back in Louisiana. The gumbo had just the right amount of spice and flavor. The boudin had a sweet but spicy flavor and over a bed of red beans and rice, yummmm. We will absolutely be going back to this one!
