Listen I really wanted to love this place. I just moved here from Brooklyn and decided to try this spot out I saw it was blacked owned and I said yes I will support. Paid $18 for one piece of catfish and a few fries was so disappointed. I don’t regret supporting black owned businesses but I won’t be waisting my money here again. Although

I was really excited to try this place after reading good reviews and seeing pictures. But unfortunately we didn’t have the best experience.It’s a small place with a couple of tables. We came on a hot august day and their air conditioning was broken. That’s not the worst of it for us though, I felt bad for the man cooking.They have lemonade and fruit punch and ice tea only for $2. I asked if they make it here and he said yes. When we tried it though it was just powdered flavored water. I was expecting something home made but I guess for $2 it’s not going to be that.We ordered the great catch for $40 it comes with shrimp, fish, chicken wings and lobster and two sides. They were out of lobster and said would double up on the fish and shrimp for us. I asked for the shrimp sautéed. He also said it was going to be 25 min.40 min later we got our food. We took it home which is 30min away and there were 3 pieces of fish, 7 shrimp a handful of fries and broccoli and no chicken wings. The fish I couldn’t even eat, it was hard as a rock, super salty, the parts that weren’t hard were chewy and some of the fish smelled so fishy and rotten. The shrimp were not sautéed, they were fried. And also super super salty. The broccoli was good but there was a super small portion. Fries were bland, which is surprising since everything else was a salt lick. They were also a bit too greasy and not too many either.Compared to other fish joints in the area this is sub par. In jersey city surf city has a fried fish platter for $33 has 4 pieces of cod, around 10 shrimp and calamari and lots and lots of fries, much better deal and tastes better.I ended up calling and letting them know they left the wings off. At that point I didn’t try the fish so I didn’t tell them the fish was bad. she did say she would credit some money back on our credit card. But a couple of days later the payment went through and no credit. Very disappointed.

Absolutely amazing shrimp, grits, and collards! I miss the Southern comfort food since moving back to the N.east coast and these guys know exactly what they are doing! They make to order, so be prepared to wait a little bit (call a head of time) and you'll be all set! Sidenote, they offer outdoor and indoor eating but its more of a takeout place. Just a few chairs and order at the counter.Vegetarian options: Its a fish fry place, so not many vegetarian options but the plain mac and cheese is great

So if you go here I really suggest making sure they pack everything for you.

Placed an order through Grubhub, not only was my food late, I was never notified they were out of wings! When I called I was informed so I changed it to something else, the delivery guy arrived and is asking for a tip which I did it through Grubhub, I told him that and this man had the nerves to ask me how much did I give! Never again ordering from this place.

Good overall 7/10 The fish was thin and fried too hard. The Mac and cheese was 8/10, really good and tasteful but it can have more cheese mixed inside. The fries were 6/10, soggy by the time the entire order was finished. The collard greens were 6/10, spicy and can use more flavor . The location is perfect and they have seating inside and outside

This is a takeaway or basic dining joint. It is the opposite of fancy dining, or romantic atmosphere, but here the emphasis is on the food, its freshness, and how it is prepared. This is what this place excels in. If you crave fish and chips, you won't be disappointed. The service was friendly and casual.
