“Came across this restaurant as I was searching for Black owned eateries in this new neighborhood we just moved to. When we arrived, the exterior was a little off putting, LOL! So glad Shaun himself stepped out as well as a gentleman who came to pick up his order. We got to ask his opinion of the food. He told us this was his 7th time back so we thought, Let’s give it a try! $58 later, we got 3 meals and WOW! Delicious!!! Everything was so GOOD! Catfish, Yams, Mac n Cheese (and I am VERY picky about Mac n cheese), Honey Garlic Salmon, BBQ wings, rice and gravy and that cornbread!!!! Definitely coming back! I hope this review helps another skeptic not miss out on a GREAT SPOT!!!!! Worth the try! The portions are hearty! So glad we decided to give it a shot!!!“

“Friendly staff, always stocked up on all options. If they dont have it cooked up, they will cook it just for you.☺️I just discovered this place and they are more than a fish frying place. They have Caribbean food options as well, and it is good! Some may think it is pricey, but for the amount of food you receive, your plates will be more than the money you pay! It's worth every penny!

Parking: Near hospital and this is a store front restaurant. So take out is the best option. This place gets super crowded, so call in your order before you get there. Makes life easier. It's not the restaurant's fault the parking is trash! Use the hospital lot.

Kid-friendliness: Not sure, store front

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
