Lobster Tails
Erickita S.

This place truely deserves an award. The food is amazing here. BOGO specials are everything here. You get good value for your money for sure. The ambiance is lots of music and a large crowd of hungry people and impatient uber/seamless people picking up food for delivery. It is what it is. This is a takeout place so if you want to try it pick up to go home or do delivery only! If you are picking it up understand that there will be a large crowd of people waiting because the food is really that good. I would wait on this line 100x over to eat the food that's how good it is. The sides are flavorful and the meals are wonderful. I highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for seafood and have some patience to deal with a crowd. Crab legs were good, sides are soulful. Mac and cheese and collard greens are great. The lobster is good as well. The catfish is amazing. Yams are so good. Rice and peas are everything. Great place to try there is a reason they have 5 locations! Don't let the stars fool you. Thanks Bed Stuy Fish Fry for being you!

Crab Cakes
Jany R.

Here's an update on yet another BOGO deal. I ordered their crab cakes like I said I would. I'm going to leave ALL my thoughts and hopefully their management sees them, along with other reviews that mimic the same sentiments-- and maybe they'll make improvements. I like to start with "cons" just so I can end on a positive note. The one major complaint I've seen across the board is the lack of consistency. Not only do I agree but it also goes hand in hand with one of my biggest complaints which is the overall lack of customer service and it puts a damper on everything else. Sometimes, you get a platter that looks and tastes really good. Other days, you might get a platter with raw baked chicken (true story). Then there are days where the food looks crazy but tastes amazing. I don't blame the employees entirely because they're not training themselves. Ever since they implemented the BOGO deals on Ubereats, their wait times have almost tripled & their prices have raised--while the quality of their food/experience hasn't improved. It's very obvious that they cant keep up with the volume of orders AND do so in a timely manner, while maintaining a certain level of integrity with the food theyre serving. The last two times I ordered, my delivery drivers were waiting over 30 minutes for my food. They literally get packed with food couriers, there are videos that show how crazy it gets. You can't help but feel bad for the workers. This is why I lowkey hoped that with their new success, they wouldn't just open a bunch of random locations in other boroughs but actually expand and improve the locations they already had here. I'll be very honest about the fact that I LOATHE eating $30+ meals in plastic cafeteria containers. It gives cheap and lazy. Why not invest in better plating options? Seating? More space? I mean, cmon. Clearly, they have someone coming up with recipes/ideas that could actually compete against actual fine dining restaurants and it just feels like they're not only selling themselves short, but their patrons as well. I get that it's easier to keep things low maintenance/casual but I just know that they would do a lot better if they revamped their most popular locations to be a tad more upscale. Idk about yall, but I would for sure love a refined BSFF with dine-in options. The crab cakes were really good, but lord-- the presentation of both platters was terrible. You eat with your eyes first, everyone knows this! The platter pictured was actually the better of the two because the other (with Mac and collard greens) was a mess. The BOGO makes it easier to tolerate because imagine paying $40 for a plate this messy? & remember what I said earlier about consistency? If you go on their IG, the crab cakes in those videos are huge and uniform. Mine were ALL different sizes. Some pictures on here show them burnt. Not okay. It was the same issue with the crab stuffed salmon a few weeks ago. One had more stuffing than the other & it was obvious. They should be weighing them out, but when they're up to their necks in orders & need to pump food out, they're not paying attention to stuff like that. The flavor though? ON POINT. Barely any filler, FULL of delectable lump crab. Not too salty, just right. Very similar to Maryland style crab cakes. Sides? No complaints. This is why I have such a love/hate relationship with them. I just want them to do better, the community is going to support regardless. Slow down on the amount of orders you accept, give your employees time to care about what they're doing, quality control is needed! The food is too good to be playing games like this.

Fried blackened shrimp Collard greens and potato salad
Sharon T.

Collard greens on point! Fried shrimp with blackened seasoning. Arrived hot and fresh!

Rasta (Onion) pasta .... I would think the onion should be Julien so you barely taste but you know it's there.
Queen B.

I can say the workers do their best with what's given. The food keeps flowing but the dashers is overwhelming at times. But the food can be done better at times and the containers can be stronger. Big up to the workers will not bash you guys at all. I keep coming here for a reason but there is room for improvement ( owners )

Literally was charged this amount and if they didnt give me my receipt uber eats wouldve said I got the discounted price.
Anessa O.

I dont know how the scam works but just letting you know purchase this establishments buy 1 get 1 free through uber eats- the calculations will literally add up to you paying for your food twice . Over all the food is good . At least the proteins are Z the sides always need something whether its seasoning or salt or water (sometimes that salt hand is way too heavy) They do however give great portions so I dont mind paying the prices they charge - I just know Im gonna have to schuz it up at home. I usually stick to American cuisine when I eat here because honestly I never like the way the oxtails or curry looks . No other complaints besides the way they charge for "specials" when there's literally no special lol . Here are some pics !

Collared Greens Candied Yams Whiting
Kia W.

The mobile bike delivery guys hovering at the front of the counter is annoying. I wish they had a better system for them to pick up and separate the walk in customers from them. You have to ask them to move so you can see the food display. My fish was cooked to order so it took about 20 minutes. The servers were nice and accommodating. They have a buy 1 meal get 1 feee special that can't be beat. The food is a solid 4/5. The fish is seasoned and fried crunchy to perfection. The mac & cheese was a little dry but it was seasoned well, the collard greens were too sweet and I don't like sugary greens. The candied yams were good. They use a soft broken up cake or biscuits as a crust instead of pie crust for the peach cobbler. The serving I got was mostly of that cake/biscuit mixture and hardly any peaches. 0/5 would not recommend. The cakes on display looked good so I played myself getting that nasty peach cobbler The serving portion was huge and enough to share. I'll be back whenever I craved fried fish.

Shrimp dinner

I am giving two stars because I usually have a good experience besides wait time. Today I ordered two shrimp dinners and when I bit into the shrimp it was a fishy taste. The shrimp were not fresh at all ...had to trash it vs risk getting sick.

Mash Mashed Potatoe, Collared Greens, green beans
Melissa A.

Always affordable and tasty food. My dish was super fresh and delicious. To go lunch order, mashed potatoes, collard greens and green beans. As always , I will be back.

Horrible Service
Shizzle L.

I placed my order at 1248 and it was not ready til 138 they also marked it picked up as soon as I ordered it so I couldn't cancel it 2 fish dinners 2 chicken sandwiches and lobster Mac does not take 50 minutes to prepare then I ask to talk to a manager I get attitude from the workers like I'm in the wrong I should of looked at the reviews prior to ordering from this location

Hard tiny baby shrimp for big juicy shrimp prices.
Ife M.

Now I remember why I STOPPED MESSING WITH THESE JOKERS. $21 for tiny hard fried shrimp, sub par Mac and perfume-y yams. Not buttery and sweet like they used to be. I had them OFF my list for a reason. Trying to do no meat. So I decided why not. Welp. That's what I get.

This was some of the best fried fish I've had, if we're talking about just the fish itself. The breading is solid - going with a hot level of spice meant there was a good amount of seasoning on top, but I wouldn't classify it as spicy. It was crunchy at points, but missing the flakiness and true crunch I'd associated with top-tier fried fish. However, where it makes up for this is how good the inside of the fish is. This was spectacular - crazy moist, super tender, and just tasted fantastic. The complete opposite of that rubbery texture you get when you overfry the fish. The sauce that came with the fish was a little bland, however As for the sides, I thought the mac and cheese was really good - cheesy, slightly crispy on top, and cooked very well. I also liked the grits - though a bit buttery. The fries were a miss though. For the price, I think around 25 for the meal and a side is a solid deal. The sides especially come with pretty large portion size that will leave you very full. Overall, this is very good Southern food that I certainly enjoyed. 8.5/10

I liked the chicken but I personally wouldn't pay for it again. The best tasting part of the meal was the cornbread but you barely get any of it. I liked the mac and cheese as the best value of the entire order. To caveat this, we did order out, so I'd like to return and update my review soon with a dine-in test. The takeout takes quite a long while and it's pretty cramped inside the actual restaurant especially to wait, so I'd highly recommend ordering ahead of time online.

The food was delicious, I will definitely return. There was no line to order when I arrived, but we were directed to order at a kiosk since they were short staffed up front. The young man at the counter was very busy but kind and I could see the workers in the kitchen working hard as well. The ambiance was typical for a fast casual restaurant. Some people grabbing takeout orders, delivery app workers doing pickups, and dine in patrons at tables. There were seating options for couples as well as groups. I definitely do recommend and will return next time I'm in the area.

( I also ordered tea) I tried again with some friends. Today was the first time I've been inside and actually sat down. Once you order, they ask for your name and then serve your table by calling your name. It's cute. As for the food... I ordered the fried chicken with potato salad, dressing and cornbread and peach cobbler. My chicken looked good, but tasted a little dry. Maybe it was just being under a light for a bit. I visited in the evening. Who knows? My potato salad was a bit bland, and I was hoping for some pickle relish mixed in. (If you know, you know.) I'm not a fan of cobbler, but I thought I'd give it a shot. They also had apple cobbler, which I should have stuck with. I can't tell you how the cornbread dressing was. When I got home they forgot to pack it. I don't think I'll be back, but it's a nice place to sit and chat with others while they enjoy their meals.

As soon as you walk in, you can smell the amazing dishes and you can literally feel the love they put on each plate as they serve the guests. I almost don't want to share this review for fear that the line may get longer but this restaurant is now one of the few that I recommend you go out of your way to try and enjoy. Their menu is classically simple but made with an abundance of care and no shortcuts in their cooking. As you are seated you are welcome to place your order in the front of the glass display, they cook everything in house and sometimes they run out of the specials so don't sleep on getting there on time. We ended up getting their lunch specials and picked one main and two sides. I know my girl loves Ox Tails and ended up getting the last plate with some candied yams and Mac and cheese. Let me tell you, we cleaned the plate and it was finger licking good!!! The jerk ribs were amazingly tender and fall off the bone. All of the sides were well portioned and absolutely flawless. Don't come here if you're on a diet there is only one way to enjoy this restaurant and it's to just dive in. FYI - you will need a nap after your meal. This place just hits your tastebuds differently; it doesn't just leave an impression, its mind shattering good. You will sing after the meal - happy dancing the whole time as you're eating.

Customer service is 5 stars and phenomenal…read more But I'm here to talk about the food. I wanted to love it so much especially since TikTok critic/MMA fighter Keith Lee visited them in 2023, but my experience was not like his. I want to say that online reviews are almost about accurate. They were out of cold salads and collard greens which was an issue for other customers at times as well. No problem, they were super helpful and offered an alternative but not a good one. I had steamed vegetables that mashed in my mouth like mashed potatoes when I took a bite. I did end up going to another spot for collard greens and potato salad because you can't have soul-food without that. I had the rib dinner with mac n cheese and yams and a tiny piece of complimentary cornbread. The ribs definitely taste amazing but they don't take off the membrane in the back which is slimy and gross. I left that part behind. The yams were sweet and good BUT.....that mac n cheese is NOT soul-food Mac n cheese. Here's the thing I figured out, they use such little cheese but season the noodles very well that you don't truly notice unless you love mac n cheese, which I do, so I noticed it lacked so much cheese but had seasoned noodles. The rib dinner was a 3/5 because ribs were great but sides needed help. I had rice and peas as an additional side and fried wings. The wings were ATROCIOUS! I ate the smallest one and didn't eat the rest. How can you serve such huge feathered wings like that? It was a nightmare. The feathers being on it turned me off. This tells me they don't make their food with care, they move quick to be one and done and I want my food cooked with love and care. They were also frozen wings that were thawed and seasoned, I know the difference. The rice and peas were okay 3/5 as well. Overall the food was not worth the hype. Customer service was beautiful for sure but the food was not it.

Southern Comfort in the Heart of Brooklyn…read more If you're craving true Southern soul food in Brooklyn, this hidden gem is worth every minute you spend circling for a parking spot. Located near Vanderbilt and Atlantic Avenue, this spot delivers that down-home flavor that's hard to find in the city. We ordered the catfish, potato salad, okra and tomatoes, fried chicken, mac & cheese--and let me tell you, every bite hit the spot. The portions were generous, and I was so full I didn't even get a chance to try the peach cobbler that everyone keeps raving about. But you better believe I'm saving room for it next time. The customer service was just as impressive as the food. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. I had a warm, genuine conversation with the husband, and it honestly felt like chatting with my grandfather back down South. The ambiance matches the vibe--simple, old-school Southern charm that adds to the experience. If you're in Brooklyn and craving soul food that feeds both your stomach and your spirit, don't miss this place. Just bring your appetite--and maybe a little patience for the parking!

I stopped in today to take food for work and I am currently sooo disappointed. I ordered a meatloaf dinner. Here we go... The meatloaf was dried out, definitely stretched with breadcrumbs and completely void of flavor. I asked for gravy all over. I guess they didn't hear me. The macaroni was bland and colorless and the cheese was missing! This mac had all the flavor of a hospital meal that was prepped for a patient on a salt free, seasoning free, flavor free diet. The collard greens tasted frozen maybe??? No specks of meat or flavor of any kind. Mitchell's Soul Food is CASH ONLY and it was nearly empty when I arrived. I can see why. I am unabashedly greedy and also not big on wasting money so I forced it down. Every bite made me sad. The only kinda/sorta "pro" was the low price. Still not worth it. Never again!
