Red Beans & Rice with Earl Campbell Sausage....Monday's Special!

About Me


I am a fifth generation Texan whose roots run through little places like Pilot Knob, Manchaca & Utley, Texas. The recipes we use here were inspired by both my Mother Dorothy's Good Cooking and by the styles and flavors that are native throughout Texas itself. My cooking influences were truly multi-cultural Texan - From my Mother's Home Cooking to Mama Breaux's East Texas Cajun Cooking. From BBQ cooked by the Old Pit Bosses to Tex-Mex from my peers at Our Lady Of Guadalupe Catholic School in Austin. There is also a powerful influence in the back drop of Hoover's Cooking - A man of great vision & integrity, Harry Akin. He started the Night Hawk Restaurants back in 1932. Two of my partners and I are Night Hawk Alumni. Save room for homemade pie or fresh squeezed lemonade and enjoy our "Smoke, Fire & Ice House".
Our goal - Honor all of those influences.
Our commitment - Provide "Honest-To-Goodness Cooking" at a good value.
Thank you for your support and feedback.
Welcome to my house!

My Interests

Hoover's Cooking is interested in providing you with good, homemade food.....just like Mom use to make !! Start your meal off with some spicy Aus-Tex Wings, Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas or Spinach Artichoke Dip. Try our Meatloaf with Creole sauce, Chicken Fried Steak, Fried Catfish, Ham Steak with Jezebel sauce, Southern Fried Pork Chops, Charbroiled Catfish (lemon pepper or cajun) or our delicious Chicken Fried Chicken Breast. Enjoy one of our tasty sandwiches....New Orleans Muffalleta, Catfish Po'Boy, Chipotle Chicken Salad Sandwich, Smoked Elgin Sausage Po'Boy, 'Bella Muffalleta, Cajun Ham Po'Boy or one of our cooked-to-order 1/2 pound burgers! We have over a dozen fresh vegetables available daily....as well as specials of the day! If you're in the mood for barbecue, try our pork ribs, chicken and Elgin sausage. We also have Jerk Chicken and Ribs....extra special and spicy! Salads are featured on our menu as well -the Grilled Tuna Caesar and Spinach Salad are two standouts! If you're in a "sweet" mood, see our dessert board or ask your server about our Daily Selections of Pies, Cobblers, Ice Cream and other Sweet Treats. The Ice Cream's Blue Bell, all the rest is made from scratch!
