Got our food to go. The place appeared to be pretty clean. I got shrimp and whiting dinner with a side of sweet fries (sweet potato fries), and mom got a shrimp and catfish dinner with same side. When we got home, we could not differentiate our plates. It looked and tastes exactly the same. I wish I took pics of our meals. It's great that our portions were plentiful. My fish and shrimp were beautifully fried, but it lacked seasoning. I did very much enjoy the sweet potato fries. The cinnamon brown sugar concoction for the fries was strange. The flavor was off putting and the texture was weird. They had a steady stream of customers coming in, and were getting the orders out quickly. Made me nervous for how hard the fish may be fried. Thankfully that was far from the case. read more

I literally have mixed feelings about this restaurant. *Pros: friendly staff, food was hot and fresh, didn't take much time to recieve order *Cons: sketchy location, not the cleanest of establishments, fried fish had no seasoning literally used hot sauce and tartar sauce for flavor, overpriced for frozen/store bought hush puppies, prices don't reflect quality of food Overall I wasn't impressed. Although my food looked appealing it lacked MAJOR flavor; which made me feel like the $11 spent wasn't worth it. Doubt I would return read more

I ordered the Catfish Nuggets Basket w/Fries and they were delicious! They weren't cooked to death. I'm fact I put them in the oven for just a few minutes and they were just right. The flavor was really good. The fries were also perfect, crispy on the outside and soft inside. I had so much catfish left that there was enough for today, but they were mysteriously gone when I decided to have lunch. Lol! I'll definitely try those again. I also noticed on a white board that's they now have salmon nuggets. I'll most certainly go back to try those. I would've gotten them had I seen the sign initially. read more

Just got into town and was hankering for seafood. Our go to spot was closed for another hour and I couldn't wait that long. A friend recommended 42 Fry so we went there instead. It was a very clean establishment, and we were greeted as soon as we entered. Okay, off to a great start! They had a varied menu - all types of seafood prepared many ways. We opted for a whiting dinner since it came with 5 pieces of fish, hush puppies, a side and a drink. We picked greens as our side btw. The wait was minimal, and all the food came out piping hot. First bite of greens was excellent; tender, seasoned well and best of all not from the can. Next up Cole slaw. Now the slaw was slightly sweet, again nicely seasoned. The only thing about it is that there wasn't enough. The very very small container was something like what you have in the grocery store. Just enough to make me annoyed for not ordering an extra side. The hush puppies were crispy on the outside, and so delicious on the inside. I loved the fish!!! Fried to perfection, good portion and enough for me and hubby to enjoy what I considered a cheap eat about $14. Sorry my pic isn't the best...I told you I was hungry... read more

Let me start by saying the fish was amazing! I got the catfish and shrimp combo with fries. The fish and shrimp both had the perfect amount of breading and had great flavor. The only reason I am giving them 4 stars is due to the amount of shrimp that was given with the combo. The amount of fish was perfect but you can see the small amount of shrimp that was given in the pictures. I would also say the tarter sauce was a little sweet for my taste but all in all this place is a spot not to pass up. The seating inside is limited with approximately 6 or so 4 top tables. read more

They don't answer the phone for To-Go orders, they provide a menu online and tell you to order and yet there isn't the capability and the worse part, if you do show up, social distancing isn't in place. After being so annoyed, I took my business elsewhere which aggravated more because I wanted to support the black owned business and even more so on this day but as usual epic fail!

If you remember the old fashioned fish camp style places, this is the updated version. Great fried fish, great hush puppies (perfectly fried and not burned, done in the middle), great collards. Fish is lightly dusted with breading. Serving of cole slaw (included with dinner) is dismal and not very good. Okra is wonderful! Everything was served HOT and fresh. I will go back! read more

We recently moved into the neighborhood and found 42 Fry thanks to a random internet search for local restaurants. Tried it on a whim and were absolutely bowled over by how delicious everything was. My husband loves the catfish sandwich and I tend to go for combo baskets; but everything we have had is amazing. We get take out every couple weeks now. Only downside is sometimes they can be difficult to reach on the phone; there have been several times we have tried to call and the line is not connected or no one picks up. But they have online ordering when the phone isn't working so it's not too big of a deal. Highly recommended! read more

I saw an ad on television for this restaurant, so I was excited to visit the location to try their fried fish. Once there, I ordered a take out fish platter, it took a little while, but that wasn't a problem. The staff there was very friendly. When my order was ready it had a strong fish smell, but I just thought it was just the smell of fish. This smell grew stronger in my car, but again i thought it was just the smell of fish. When I finally got home and took a bite of the fish, and it tasted like it was rancid /spoiled. I had to spit it out, and I through the whole platter away (outside my home).. This was very upsetting, and a waste of $12.. read more

When I politely asked for the bread I had before they told me it would be an up charge. Not only that, when I called they said I could not order ahead unless I was able to pay over the phone. I was planning on paying with cash so still had to wait once I got there. Completely disappointed in the service, hope the food is worth it. read more

Each and every one is amazing in its own way. Old Town has been one of the longest standing establishments, and it puts out incredible food! Burgers, wraps, apps, salads, wings, sandwiches, Philly's, even a burrito... you name it. Pretty much everything that comes out of this kitchen is a hit. Today I had the chicken Philly. Yep, the best chicken Philly I've had in a very long time. The classic soft Philly hoagie, chicken that's tender and juicy, peppers and onions full of flavor with the perfect consistency (not too limp, not too raw), all topped with oozing cheese that they're not shy with. I'm salivating just thinking about it as I write this...may have to go get another one tomorrow lol. The housemade chips and dip were perfect with it.

On a Saturday afternoon, I was in Greensboro and in the mood for some good pretzels and a draft beer, and this hit the spot. Old Town Draught House has a very old bar ambience, without feeling worn out and dated. I love the old dark wood throughout the building. They have a pretty broad draft beer menu, along with normal bar offerings. I was happy to see multiple sour beers on the list, because that's exactly what I was in the mood for. There's no table service, and it is seat yourself, but the bartenders were very attentive, and it was never difficult to place an order at the bar. We ordered a few beers and decided to get deviled eggs and the pretzels as appetizers to share. Food came out very quickly. The pretzels were pretty good, but I've had better elsewhere. Rather than being crispy, they were soft and a bit soggy, but the flavor was great. The beer cheese was on point, although I would've preferred a spicy brown mustard over yellow mustard. The deviled eggs were a bit of a letdown, because it was just a hard-boiled egg cut in half with a little bit of sweet chili peppers and dressing that tasted like 1000 Island on top. When I think of deviled eggs, I anticipate the egg yolks being removed, mixed with a few ingredients, and piped back in. For what was basically two eggs cut in half, the six-dollar price tag was steep. Overall, we had a great experience, although I would likely choose different food options next time. The bar staff were great, the beer offerings nice, and the ambience was a good vibe.

There's also a food area and water station setup, but I didn't try the food on this occasion. The bartender was friendly and quick with the drink of choice to cool off on a hot day: blackberry cider, which I really enjoyed flavor wise!

We stopped in and ordered two drinks -- a beer and an espresso martini -- and shared the ahi tuna…read morequinoa bowl. First off, the food itself was excellent. The tuna was fresh, flavorful, and overall the dish tasted great. My only critique is that there was hardly any quinoa. When I hear "quinoa bowl," I picture something more like a rice bowl where quinoa is the main base -- but this felt more like a salad with a small scoop of quinoa. Still good, just a little misleading name-wise. Drinks were solid, staff was nice and friendly, and service was smooth. Total came to $57.94, which felt a little pricey for what we ordered, but not outrageous for the area and waterfront location. Also worth noting: they are not pet-friendly inside, so keep that in mind if you're out with your pup. Overall -- great food and good drinks, just slightly pricey and the bowl name set different expectations.
