Found Carlotta's online yesterday looking for Fried Fish locally. This establishment is…read moreapproximately 12 minutes from house. It's a local dive bar. It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood. When I walked in it felt comfortable. The vibe was your family friendly neighborhood locals. I sat at the bar to place my order. I like the friendly relaxed vibe, pool tables a live Dj on a Tuesday evening was a nice touch. I ORDERD THE FRIES WHITING PLATTER My sides were Mac n cheese and string beans. I also order 2 single whole Fried wings and a side of sweet potatoes. The fish was crispy not salty nice portion. The flavor was good not salty or greasy or over cooked very pleasant to the taste buds! I like it very much The yams had a lot of nutmeg, it overpowered the actual sweet potatoe taste if you like that.. The string beans, Mac and wings were good I paid $42.00 for the platter 2 wings a side of sweets and 2 drinks. My money went a long way here. I really enjoyed the food. This is a must try !!! You won't be disappointed. You might actually find your self back a second time because it's just that kind of vibe!!!

I told her early in the night that I was driving so I wanted one drink only. And as the night went on, people kept asking to buy me drinks and she said nope, she's driving, no drinks for her! I love a girls girl!! Now on to this good ol southern cooking. LAWD HAVE MERCY! I felt like I was in my nana Alabama kitchen all over again. That whiting was finger-licking good. It was fried just right and the flavor was perfect. Them collards?! I couldn't even wait to get home to eat them with my bra off. They were DELICIOUS. That baked Mac n cheese was old skool with no extra bs in it. The pull was perfect and the consistency was on point. I will DEFINITELY be back... more times than I'd like to admit lmfao. Thank you Carletta's!!!

Last week we catered from Danny Woks and order wings, chicken fried rice and chicken Lo mein…read more Horrible! Horrible food. The Lo Mein was dry and tasteless. The fried rice was equally dry and extremely disgusting. What a waste of money! I am Asian and was disgusted that they use rice from who knows where! No one could eat that food. The chicken wings was the best seller but they are cheating everyone who thinks their food is wonderful. Never will I recommend anyone to purchase food from them. DISGUSTING!!! I don't think the cooks or their staff would the food they produce. They are an insult to American Chinese Food if there is such a thing!!!

He showed me their grocery receipt where they get charged more post covid. I told him I get that plus location but it would've been better to keep pro menu sign as is an up Id give smaller portions (or pay for new pro sign), but handwritten upcharges just looks tacky and mean spirited. He said people complain if small portions. I said let them because they could order double if they think it small. He took it well which is more than I can say for many places with nasty attitide employees. Juice was quite sugary with a sour after taste and cup and lids are not conducive to bike riding. Food was tasty enough and this guy was nice.

Disappointed. The only really good item I had this time was the soul roll (mac n' cheese, bbq…read moresauce, collard greens in an egg roll). The sweet potato donuts were dark as opposed to the orange color when I last ordered them. They weren't totally burnt, so they were still edible and the same flavor, but they weren't as great as I remembered. The fried chicken fried rice was heavily seasoned with ginger, and ginger is potent. It overpowered the rice that already had a dry consistency. The chicken chunks were dry too. My first trip here, I recalled they were juicy and flavorful. This time some pieces were so dry that I could have choked. I hate wastefulness and wanted to eat more, but wound up tossing about a fourth of my container. My husband's wings had some kind of glaze but the wings themselves lacked seasoning. This all was about $30, so it wasn't a cheap eat at all to be tasting the way it did. My husband picked up the order and said the staff were cussing loudly, complaining about their pay while another staff member was on her phone. He was shocked by the lack of professionalism. He also said there was no soap in the bathroom for customers. This really surprised me because I thought the staff there was great when I last went and the facilities were prepped and clean. This feedback is not to be hurtful to the business, especially not a unique Black business like this that I want to see thrive. I am hopeful this is constructive for their team in order to improve service.

I have not been to the restaurant itself, but I have ordered CM Chicken from DoorDash multiple…read moretimes. So far, everything has always been good: the delivery is on time, the food is hot, and the order is accurate. I like the tikku garlic soy and original garlic spicy chicken. The seasonings are so flavorful, and the chicken is so crispy and juicy. The original garlic spicy is pretty spicy, so be careful if you have low spice tolerance. If you really like onions (I do not), go for the snow onion or green onion chicken. If you like gizzards or are adventurous, the fried gizzards are so flavorful and good. Add some pickled radish to cleanse your palette and balance the flavors - it really helps on cutting the heat if you are eating something spicy. Korean fried chicken is a bit of a splurge, but it is so good and so worth it. The chicken has plenty of meat, and you get a decent amount of food. Once you have Korean fried chicken, you may not want to go back to American fried chicken because the crispiness and flavor cannot be beaten.

Today was an excuse to check in on my old haunt and see how things were going. Ordering was fast, and the food came out quickly to our table. I ordered the garlic soy sandwich, and my friend got the tacos. Honestly the chicken quality is great here-- crunchy, moist, not too saucy, and not overpoweringly flavorful as some other places are. I cleaned that plate and ended very satisfied. There are quite a few tables around for small and large groups. Things were pretty quite here during lunch time, so it's not too busy of a place that you won't be stuck waiting or crammed in. It's definitely busier at dinner time though!

I was hungry so I ate a piece of the perfectly seasoned fried fish& some of the creamiest, most flavorful Mac & cheese that you have ever sunk your teeth into before I remembered to take a photo of the serving I received. I wanted to show you what you would be in for if you tried this establishment as it was the Bomb! The serving is plentiful as I will eat off this plate for at least 3 - 4 meals in total. The service was awesome I called in & was told they would text me when the order was ready in approximately 15 minutes. It was within that 15 minute timeframe that I received a call from a very nice man telling me my order was ready to be picked up. The window is outside as there is no indoor service but it is well worth it to get the best dinner plates in the area. I mean you can feed at least 3 other people from this heavy soul food offering.

The last few times i have gotten food it was subpar at best but this time my wife ordered me the catfish, which tastes like swai but ok, cabbage and tuna mac. I hate the fact that you charge $2 extra to not put a cold side in a hot platter. Any decent restaurant would know this is a big no no. Not only did they charge me but they must've forgot I paid the ridiculous fee to not have it in there, but they did anyway and to add insult all they did was just scoop it right out of there. No bother in just making the tray over because who wants mayo juice all over their fish and soggy cabbage. Guess who got that... Me!! Please i highly advise spending your $35-$40 on a business that cares about quality, presentation and satisfaction. It's too many of these types of restaurants that take pleasure in doing better and this business is just not it. Don't do it to your wallet. Grand Kitchen up the street is way better!

I had the shrimp and my husband had the fish and I must say I properly enjoyed my food. The only change I would've asked for was to cook the cabbage a little shorter because I prefer mines to be a bit more crunchy but even without that I properly enjoyed them. It also heats up well which is important for me because I can never eat all of my food. I would definitely recommend eating here if you enjoy properly seasoned food.

My son and I got there around 11:20pm and they were packed up and closed for the night (even though the hours say they close at MIDNIGHT). We were hungry so went across the street to Lucky Star Food Market. This used to be a 7-Eleven many many years ago. I always see this market when I'm waiting for the 36 Trolley and never went inside until now. It's a nice little market with about anything you could think of inside. They also sell cooked food. My son and I decided to give the food a try. I ordered: Cheeseburger Platter with French Fries -- $5.50 Chicken Nugget Platter with French Fries -- $5.50 3 Chicken Wings -- $3.75 My order came to $14.75 and I also purchased two TastyKake products at $1.00 each and a bag of potato chips at $1.89 The cheeseburger platter was delicious even though the burger was larger than the bun it was on. They didn't use a frozen burger. The French Fries were not fried too hard. My son loved his chicken nugget platter, except they forgot his honey mustard on the side. The chicken wings were another story. They were rubbery and hard to pull apart to eat. They didn't look right. I'll stick to getting my chicken wings from Asian Cuisine near my mother's house. My son and I agreed that we would return if we every got hungry super late at night. This place is apparently open 24 hours. It's in the hood, so be careful.
