I paid for a 5 piece perch dinner and only got 4 pieces. How hard is it to count to 5? Attention to detail is not their strong suit. They must have a different cook because the fish is cooked until it is dry. Gonna try another location going forward.

My food was nasty. My shrimp was fried hard. The catfish had no taste and broke as I picked it up. The french fries were old and stale. Also the slice of bread was hard also.

It's about what you would expect in a black takeout restaurant. They fried the fish until it looks like chicken and the chicken until it's unedible, don't waste your time.

I used Uber eats on August 14, 2025 and ordered the Three Catfish Fillet dinner and four chicken wings. I did a taste test of the food, sampling a small portion of each Entrée as I usually do before eating because sometimes I don’t eat right away, and I don’t want to delay giving a review. The food was fresh and tasty. Therefore, I gave five stars because that is my go to Seafood Eatery. But I realized as I ate that I was not eating catfish, but probably Swai because I bought and cooked Swai before. If I order catfish, that’s what I expect. Black folks know Catfish! My Entre was not Catfish! The fish was flaking all over the place, fallen off the fork, and not holding together when I attempted to pick it up. 😡 Be aware what these Eateries are serving up these days.

Ordered a half pan catfish nuggets for Mother’s Day celebration. Asked not to fry it hard. Even repeated it. When I picked it up the pan was nice and hot. However, when we opened and started eating the nuggets, it was hard as a rock. Most pieces are small. It was embarrassing offering that to people. End up throwing more than half of the pan. Never go there again. First time I tried this place and no more second time

The Catfish steaks are delicious! Hot, crispy and very tasty. You must vent your bag to maintain the crispy texture! I had not eaten here in years and I'm glad I stopped by last night. Added to one of my new places for fresh, properly cooked food. Could have used a fork for the Cole slaw, only drawback to the service.

Worse catfish ever

10 wings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's my opinion Not yours

When I visited this restaurant it was very clean and I truly appreciated that. I ordered wings and catfish nuggets the chicken was very good and fresh however the catfish nugetts were more like popcorn nuggets they were so small as if they took one nugget and chopped it into tiny pieces I will not be getting those ever again it was a waste of money you couldn't even taste them they were so small other than that the service was nice and so were the wings
