The catfish I ordered was not good. It looked and tasted like the kind everybody cook at fish fry!'s. Frozen not fresh. Tarter sauce wasn't good either. I like the blue packets.

I wouldn’t change a thing about this place! It still sits right in the same neighborhood you can go in. She’s always greeting you with a smile if it’s not her, it’s her husband or one of her children who are super professional! The food is always hot and fresh. I don’t mind waiting 15 or 20 minutes for freshly hot prepared food! I love supporting black owned businesses that give you great pricing, great portions and hot and fresh food! I hope they never leave the community. Definitely a favorite of mine! FRESH!

Decided to try out Waves Inn after being drawn by childhood memories (haven’t eaten here in decades) and a family member's recommendation. We spent about $60 on our meal. While portions were pretty good for the price and well-seasoned, the fish lacked its expected flavor (didnt quite taste like fish to me) and the shrimp batter was tough. Service was friendly, but I'm not sure about returning. I can understand why people frequent this restaurant because it’s not bad, but it's not quite the taste I like or what I remember from my youth.

I ordered the super trio ( I always do) which consist of shrimp, catfish, whiting, and a side of okra. The fish was good, the shrimp were good, I’m not sure where they purchased the okra from this time, but it had a lot of stocks in it. I couldn’t even eat it ?

I'm really big on sisterhood. I'm always trying to bring us up and hold us down. I've had a not so great experience with the owner's daughter. Anytime I engage with questions about the food or something pertaining to them as a business instead maintaining a constructive way of communicating she becomes defensive EVEN THOUGH the questions I asked are warranted and it's not anything to address anything negative it just be a question maybe about one of the items on the menu that may be different from what they've had in the past. She seemed to come off defensive which as a professional I've never endured when I was dealing with the father of the business. I've had nothing but great experiences with him he's always been extremely nice and make you comfortable with asking a question without feeling like you're going into a debate. I've had this experience many times with women in powerful positions it is mostly in the African-American neighborhood. This business has been around for years and I've supported them as far back as I can remember. I just hate that when I try to connect with women of color many of them seem to forget the rules of engagement especially when your the face of the business in question. It's ok to make it ok to be nice and respectful to your customers making them feel like they can ask a question without it coming off like there giving a testimony in court by a prosecutor. Though their hours have changed I'm always looking forward to seeing the father instead of the daughter when I visit. And if she's there which is pretty much every time I'm in the area I go somewhere else unless my cravings overrule my having to have this woman. I heard it's hard to keep people on the clock there and I can almost imagine why. People like to work in environments that feel like family not where they have to feel like they have to walk around someone on eggshells. And that's a true way to describe this woman. If I ask a question and I may not agree or want to try to understand the answer that she gives me she basically challenges every single word that comes out of my mouth. It's in her facial expressions and the energy that bounces off of her. I'm not really expecting this review to change the way this woman is it's just that we have to do better as women. It's okay to make it okay. It's not always a debate especially over some shrimp, fries and fish LoL.
