The staff and food are AMAZING. The food was worth the wait. Jennifer was amazing and so was Ms. Shawnee. It was a pleasure to dine there and I will be back! I recommend you go on their website and make a reservation because they are usually fully booked. The sugar daddy wings are just as good as everyone says are so is the oxtail, collard greens, cornbread and peach sangria. The chicken sandwich with honey butter added was also so good!

Shaw'nae's place is "AS ADVERTISED " 5+ Stars!! It's really a family atmosphere!! Sunday dinner,and she's orchestrating the whole thing. Along with her well experienced staff. Food on point, Rum punch on point, dessert on point. I can go on & on. But you must experience it yourself! Highly recommend & will definitely be returning, that is if I can score a reservation. Which is usually weeks out. Very few cancelations but fingers crossed!! Thank you again, wifey & I truly enjoyed our evening!!

Shaw-nae’s House: Where Wings Will Change Your Life

If you think you know wings, Shaw-nae’s House will make you rethink everything. These wings aren’t just food—they’re an experience. Perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and cooked to absolute perfection, they’ll change your vision of what wings should be.

But it doesn’t stop there—the mac and cheese? Unreal. Creamy, cheesy, and just the right amount of richness. And honestly, if I had the chance to try everything on the menu, I have no doubt it would all be just as unique and amazing.

From the food to the welcoming staff and the whole vibe, this place is all the way incredible. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. Shaw-nae’s House is a must-visit for anyone who loves bold flavors and unforgettable meals. 🔥🍗🧀

What an amazing experience at this establishment!! The moment you walk inside you are greeted by extremely friendly and beautiful souls! Hubby and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary at Shawnae’s House and it exceeded my expectations. Every bite of food was better than the one before. Everyone gets a variety of delicious cornbread to start off. We ordered the Sugar Daddy wings (which we noticed that every other table ordered as well) 😋 We also ordered oxtails, jerk chicken, fried whole snapper, collard greens and jerk chicken rice! The sugar daddy wings are on a whole ‘nother level!! 🤩 🪐 🚀

From the moment you walk through the door, you’re immersed in the warmest, most welcoming environment, radiating with positive energy. This is more than just a restaurant, it’s a place where you instantly feel safe, at ease, and at home. You can taste that love and positivity in every bite of the food.
The owner’s presence adds to the magic, taking the time to walk around, check in on guests, and genuinely connect with everyone. It’s rare to find a space so intentionally designed for comfort, from the inviting decor to the cozy living room where you can relax with books, a fireplace, and throw pillows while waiting for your table.
Every detail, from the atmosphere to the hospitality, makes this restaurant truly special. I’ve never experienced anything quite like it. It’s simply perfect.

What kind of elitist trash charges $10 per person just to make a reservation? I get it’s a small restaurant, but so are half the restaurants in NYC…

Blessings 💜 I’m hoping to relocate to Staten Island after a period of hardship and I was looking for a black owned restaurant and ran across this establishment, I read the reviews and looked at the pictures and I’m so excited about bringing my family for a lunch or a dinner. I can’t wait.

Phenomenal food and such a beautiful Cozy space. The sweet potato candied yams were unbelievable. We made the trip from Manhattan on the ferry and it’s so worth it. Highly recommend.
