2 days in a row of PERFECTLY SEASONED and BALANCED FLAVORS, WELL PORTIONED, meals. I devoured the whiting platter with mac and cheese and collards. Hubby had Shrimp. Our proteins were so good that you could taste great flavor even though it took 20-30 minutes before we could get into it. Everything was still lightly crisp and not overly salty. I’m the type that eats fries in the car because they aren’t the same cold, same usually goes for fried seafood and this was sooo on point. More importantly the WHITING IS FRESH (not that nasty oversized usuallyfrozen “ling” whiting many places sell. Collards were great and had the slightest hint of vinegar instead of sugar, which was how my granny used to fix hers. I don’t know when soul food made the switch to putting sugar into everything, but I’m so glad that isn’t the case here (I don’t feel like I’m eating a diabetes inducing dinner). The baked mac and cheese is actually baked. The best thing about it is that there’s no off-putting flavors like black pepper, paprika, mustard, etc. that some people like to cook with in their recipe. It tastes like mac, cheddar, milk, and butter simple perfection. The kicker… Real sweet Hawaiian rolls! Not the cheap dry milk roll other places put on the side. We ate here for the first time yesterday… so good I had to come back to make sure it wasn’t a dream. Let me tell you it wasn’t. Definitely reminds me of the food I grew up with. This is what anticipate anytime I’m getting soul food. Finally a local restaurant I can confidently eat at. The woman owner who served us was so warm and friendly as well. They’ve absolutely earned our business. And the Playlist will have you bopping to old school RnB. HALAJUAHHHHHHHH!!!

I visited this establishment via word of mouth. The greeter/cashier not that welcoming at first and her energy adjusted when she seen familiar faces. I ordered a catfish sandwich, which I thought came with 2 pieces as you can tell the fish was thin to be catfish and it was undercooked as the coating was still moist. Very disappointed. I left it, that was my good deed for the day.

The Owners started off in a Food truck and 2020. It was the best place to get seafood. I fell in love. Now they have the restaurant and still the best quality service. Friendly, kind, professional, welcoming, clean cooking area. I refer family and friends there all the time. You will leave satisfied. The right portion size, the right price for delicious food made with love and soul!

I got the seafood platter, the food was sooo good I called the owner just to tell her how amazing it was after taking one small bite of the shrimp, the batter they use and how they cook it is perfect! The salmon wasn’t dry and they aren’t stingy with the shrimp I had at least 10-12 pieces. And the lobster tail was heavenly. I’ve been looking for a food spot since I came back home and this was the best by far it’s now my go to. Customer service was A1, she made gave me sauce recommendations outside the normal “any sauce for you food” and she answers the phone fast. Highly recommend coming here

Ordered the SAM & crabcake sandwiches and they were the best. The crabcake was filled with crab. Who knew we’d love the fried corn on the cob. Can’t wait to try other plates. Highly recommend.

Googled best fried shrimp in the area and your place came up. It did not disappoint. Also had sweet chili chicken, collards, whiting fish dinner with corn/ mac & cheese. Made to order and still hot when I got home. Delicious and great prices!

Whoever is cooking back there has some serious skills. Catfish nuggets seasoned and fried to perfection. Shrimp, crab and lobster tail was cooked perfectly. I sense there is some real experience in the kitchen and it shows in the food. The lady at the counter was very nice and helpful as well, she also checked the whole order while packing it to make sure nothing was missing. Nice attention to detail. Try this place out, you will leave satisfied.

This food was AMAZING! For three adults, we got the crab boil and the fried seafood platter, every bite was delicious. It’s rare to fine fried seafood on the Jersey Shore that isn’t just deep-fried in batter — this stuff is seasoned perfectly. The fried coating is just as delicious as the fresh seafood.
