★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Kitty Kat · Jun 2025

This place has gone seriously downhill. The food was old and tasted awful like it had been sitting out for days. There's no flavor, no love, no nothing in their so-called "soul food." And to top it all off, I think they tried to pass off beef neck bones as short beef ribs. Totally unacceptable! The service is disgraceful. No southern charm here. This place is old been here for a while and you would think some renovations had been done they closed down for a couple of months and then came back worse than when they closed. I think the Fish House Ran its race and now they need to close. They are now quantity over quality. They lost their touch. Bye, fish house. Food sitting out all day until it's dried out. The health department needs to take a look at this place... Hot food should not b

Member of my lodge has been bringing the fried Whiting for quite a while. We have other food but everyone eats the Whiting. Tastes fantastic. We are now going to expand by ordering other dishes on the menu. I'm one Italian who loves this food.

The food is good and the portions are large. Check the day you go, somedays are only cash, but most days you can use your debit/credit cards. The place is Caribbean/African American so you get spices in some meals. Nothing is bland, so it tastes very good. I have lived here, moved away, and returned for a few months, and I am happy this place is here to service the neighborhood. Good Ribs and Chicken are hard to find, and this place delivers a good serving of both. When someone gives a bad review, check their other reviews before you believe it, most places are good. If they lack something, tell hem, and let them improve to your taste. Thanks.

★★★★★ 5.0 Harry Bakunin · Aug 2025

I was staying at a hotel near JFK and went for a walk to find something more interesting than hotel food: this place blew me away. The ribs were so flavourful and tender, the mac n cheese is probably the best I’ve ever had, with a huge portion and reasonable prices. Thank you guys for looking after a confused looking English person

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Keisha Sprinkle · Feb 2025

I ordered Uber. The food was raw nasty. It taste like morning breath, and I’m gonna redo it the way I like it. The ribs was dry and raw like they boil the ribs and then put in the oven to cook. If I wasn’t at work, I would take it back horrible
