Fish & Chips Restaurants near St. Albans, NY

“My deceased mother introduced me to Maxine's over 25 years ago. She LOVED the food! She often purchased meals from Maxine's at least twice a week. I believe these women respected my mother as well. I, too, grew to love the food and RESPECTED the hard working women (Maxine and her Co-worker) who ensured good tasting quality food! In addition, I had the services of this establishment prepare Sunday meals to be delivered to my Mom's home as a result of her experiences with Alzheimer's Disease in the last 4 years of her life! My mother and her Homecare Workers looked forward to these delicious Sunday meals. THANK GOD I was able to provide this service as a result of working as a retiree. At least 3X, when delivery was NOT available from Maxine's, Maxine brought the meals herself to Mom's home. I recommended wholeheartedly this business to as many people who were looking for a GREAT soulful meal to TAKEOUT. YESTERDAY, November 22, 2023, the day after my mother's birthday, I needed a piece of my mother! I had not engaged in purchasing food from Maxine's in a while. I ordered ahead of time for pickup. I took a cab! Once, I got there, I was told by Maxine's Co-worker that I had to wait in line like everyone else who DID NOT PLACE an order ahead of time. I wasn't there to JUMP the LINE or THINK myself better than anyone else! I asked everyone present before the Co-Worker appeared if they were waiting as a result of placing an order for Pickup. They stated they were not! The people who were WAITING for their food were VERY POLITE and UNDERSTOOD I had already placed an order. I am a Senior Citizen! The Co-Worker acted as if she NEVER knew me. This TREATMENT, after several years of ordering from her face to face. It HURT deeply! I have patronized and promoted businesses of African descent all my life! Maxine had the order ready. She had to inform the Co-Worker from the back that the meal was already prepared. However, I was NOT pleased with my meal upon arriving home to partake in it. A great deal of it appeared almost burnt. I spent $26.00 in carfare alone. OUR businesses MUST learn to RESPECT PEOPLE who WALK through their doors! You NEVER know what they are experiencing when they walk through your DOORS! GREAT FOOD is a MEANS of COMFORT to MANY, especially now! Based on my past experiences, I STILL give these women a high rating in HONOR of my mother. I LEARN lessons EVERYDAY and WORK HARD on IMPROVING my PEOPLE SKILLS as well. May WE learn to serve others with GLADNESS! May WE understand that ALL WORK is a result of the many talents bestowed upon us. Clearly, both of these women are GIFTED in what they do!“

“I was visiting Brooklyn and needed food, I looked up fish on yelp. It was like ennie mennie minnie moe. I chose Soul of the Sea after I viewed the menu. I called first to see if they are open because a lot of businesses closed due to COVID-19. Someone answered immediately and did in fact confirm that they were open. I informed them that I was coming but. When I arrived I announced that I called and placed my order. The person that took my order was very kind, friendly, and courteous. His customer service was fantastic. I ordered the fish sandwich and asked what kind of fish was on the sandwich, he directed me to the menu and said, whiting, do you see it under section of fish sandwich. I did conquer. He told me the price and asked if that price was fine. I said yes and then ordered a carrot cake. His attitude compelled me to buy something as I was eager to support a mom and pop style restaurant. I told the person taking my order that I was passing through and needed to eat. He thanked me for stopping in. The interaction was wonderfully pleasant, the store clean and the staff was attentive. The person that came to the front of the business to sweep, greeted me and thanked me for stopping in. This is an A class, 5 star service restaurant when it comes to serving the customer. Enough about the interaction and now the food. The sandwich was proportioned with a decent amount that was not too filling. I'm used to pieces of fish that were too long for the bread. I am also very pleased that they gave me wheat bread instead of white. The carrot cake was surprisingly not too sweet as I didn't want nothing sweet sweet. Bravo guy's“

“I stop by here whenever I'm in the area. I usually get the fried whiting and chips. Today, I wanted steamed seafood and I got what I was hoping for. The whitings, shrimp, red skin potatoes, and corn were delicious. I'm talking Full Flavor. I will be back.“

“Extraordinary! Great Food and Great People... Long Island is The Best Place on Earth and Bigelows is one of the reasons why.“

“I was looking for a new rasta pasta spot to meet my expectations and little did I know this location opened up in my area. I’ve had their pasta and oxtail eggrolls/empanadas. Mind you … I tend to stay away from oxtail altogether but they intrigued me. It’s a nice vibe inside as well. My taste buds are top tier so safe to say they will be seeing me again(:“

“I ordered my food over the phone they told me 20 minutes, I waited an additional 15 upon arrival. Nevertheless, the price was very affordable and pretty tasty. I got fish and fries, I used my own tarter sauce my; the seasoning on the fish was there (although the batter came apart very easily from thr fish). The food was good, service ehh.“

“My first time trying this spot was yesterday I had the Steamed salmon steak with Potatoes & broccoli it was soooooo good. Today I went back and had the Fried shrimp & Fries, still very good but I would just prefer them to clean the spine out of the shrimp. Seeing it made me icky because I always clean mine.“

“Ok. My first time getting food from here. Let me say I'm am now a groupe the catfish mac n cheese and collard greens are on point!!!! The staff was so friendly. I haven't been to a restaurant with friendly staff in a while. Keep.doing what your doing. Love it“

“Got my lobster roll before they close for the season. No problem about The hot sun the afternoon was extremely blustery. I’ve always loved this place even though it is pricey for a clam shack.“

“One of my favorite local little hole in the wall spots. Often come here to get a quick bite like the Whiting Fish Sandwich. There a plenty of seafood options and plenty of options to make at home or take with you. Area is a little shaky but hey… that's Hempstead.“

“Oh i love this place, usually easy parking, clean, fast, great fresh tasting food! Prices are very affordable, stuff for adults and kids. Social distancing and hand sanitizer is definitely a plus. I would call ahead n order to avoid standing around. Nice, friendly, respectful, and helpful staff. I've seen people come from near and far to this place! I highly recommend!“

“The fish is fresh and good. They have a large variety of all kinds of seafood.The problem is: the portions are too small. They are very cheap with the veggies and yellow rice on steam orders.I will speak to the owners to change this, since the food alone would get 5 stars!“

“Fish was cooked fresh
Mac n cheese was mac n cheesin
Yams were yammin
And the music set my mood right
And dude thanked us for coming
And mom is not big on red velvet cake but she said the cake was great“
