The shrimp as well as the fish were huge. My family really enjoyed all the food except for the banana pudding. You could not taste the cookies and there were no bananas in the pudding. We ordered take out and the food was hot and ready for pick up when we arrived.

Fried Whiting Platter. The platter came with (3 Whiting, 3 Jumbo Shrimps, Cabbage, & Brown Rice with gravy)

I was out shopping with my sister when she suggested Blue Bay, to grab something to eat. I order the Fried Whiting Platter. The platter came with (3 Whiting, 3 Jumbo Shrimps, Cabbage, & Brown Rice with gravy) all for 13.85. The fish, shrimp was fried perfectly & taste pretty good. The Brown rice & gravy was decent and the cabbage wasn't bad either. The staff was nice, didn't have to wait long for my order. The restaurant decor is outdated, so its definitely time for a renovation (Just a suggestion). Blue Bay gets a 3.5 - 4 Stars from me..

The fried chicken, mac and cheese and greens

Tried this place on a whim with a gf and we were very pleased. The woman at the counter was helpful and answered all of our questions. The food was also very tasty and there was no wait. I ordered the fried chicken, mac and cheese, greens and cornbread. The fried chicken was really good, nice and crispy like I like it, the mac and cheese was just alright, and surprisingly the greens tasted great ! They were very well seasoned and that can be a hit or miss with most places. The cornbread was also delicious too. Overall the food was very reasonably priced and tasty. I'll definitely be back.

Going into Philadelphia I saw this fast food store for Deep Southern home cooking. Collared greens, catfish, yams. Except the store is managed and cooked by Chinese. Patrons I talked to love this soul food store and darned it works. Food was great. And who needs another Chinese restaurant? Blue Bay Restaurant, City Ave., Philly.

I ordered a pound of Whiting , mix chicken dinner , and fish and chicken dinner. Plenty of food!

I have came here a couple times. The food is always hot and the portions are big. Normally you can have two to three portions in one dinner. The staff members are polite. I never had any issues ordering over the phone. The food is average soul food. The food could have more flavor but overall it's good food. This is my place to go to when I don't want to cook.

This restaurant is horrible. My organization ordered catering from this restaurant last week. We had several pans over undercooked macaroni and cheese. You can see the milk dripping out of the pans in the pictures we took, and the macaroni is undercooked and borderline raw. Many of our members had issues from upset stomach to mild food poisoning. We reached out to the restaurant to see if they could help in any way but they completely were unhelpful, dismissive, and not remorseful. I would not recommend anyone ordering food from this restaurant ever.

Went again tonight and had the Hibachi Salmon. It was actually very good. I also had cabbage and mac and cheese. Now I know what to get when I eat here. Salmon was fresh and my food was ready within 20 minutes.

My thin very disappointed flounder fish platter. Smh...

Maybe I went on an off day. Not a four star but better than 3. The food was average but the prices were good. I'll try them again.

Wow! I became aware of this restaurant, because one of my…read moredaughters said she wanted to visit this eatery during a planned trip to Philadelphia. I read reviews and they were somewhat mixed, but I put my faith in the Elites, who were on point. I ordered the fried fish, mac and cheese, and candied yams. The portions were enormous and more than I could eat alone. My daughter ordered the same sides, but had the bbq chicken bites, and an extra side of seafood salad. My fish was not greasy at all, and the cornmeal crust was light and crispy. It wasn't over seasoned and was delicious. The cinnamon and nutmeg in the candied yams were well balanced and reminiscent of a southern Thanksgiving dinner... a little sweet, but yummy nonetheless. The macaroni and cheese was also as Thanksgiving worthy and beyond. I tasted a chicken bite, and wished I had ordered those too... my eyes are truly bigger than my stomach lol. I liked the seafood salad, but if I lived in Philly, I would order it to accompany a great big mixed green salad. It holds its own and for me, doesn't need to be a side dish. It was an honor to visit Ms. Saud's restaurant, and contribute to her mission

Meanwhile, I could have added a few dollars more and received a whole meal with more meat and 2 sides at the original location!

I've wanted to try this place for years, but for a while they didn't have wings, so I never made it…read morethere. My spouse recently recommended it one night, and we finally decided to give it a try. At first, I thought the meal was a bit pricey, but I have to admit--it was definitely tasty and the portion size was solid. You get a good amount of food for what you pay for. I'll definitely be going back when I'm in the mood for some good fried chicken.

Corinne's Place - Worth the Toll and Then Some…read more Food Quality & Taste Let's start here because this is the heart of the experience. The food was delicious. The kind of delicious that makes you pause mid-bite and smile. Everything tasted like home--like your mom or grandmom was in the kitchen, apron on, seasoning from the soul. We had the mac and cheese, potato salad, and cabbage, and everything delivered comfort, warmth, and love. And listen... Mom has already requested a return trip, which should tell you everything you need to know. Cuz my Momma don't play about her food. Value for the Price Let's face it soul food aint cheap. Plus, you're not just paying for food--you're paying for an experience that feeds your spirit as much as your stomach. Cleanliness The space was clean, well-kept, and inviting. Cozy without feeling cramped, and comfortable in a way that makes you want to sit, eat, and take it all in. Customer Service Warm. Friendly. Genuine. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. And the highlight? Meeting the owner, Ms. Corinne herself. She and my mom talked like they were old friends catching up, which honestly felt very on-brand for this place. Wait Time & Convenience No issues here. Parking is street parking--very similar to parking on a busy Philly street, so nothing shocking or stressful if you're used to city life. Once inside, everything flowed smoothly. We were seated quickly. Presentation & Atmosphere The atmosphere is intimate, cozy, and full of history. Pictures line the walls--Ms. Corinne, her family, and famous faces--which makes the space feel personal and lived-in. It's the kind of place where stories live in the walls. Red Flags or Warnings No real red flags. Just know it's an intimate setting--not huge--but honestly, anyone can come in and enjoy it comfortably. Overall: Corinne's Place is more than a restaurant--it's a memory, a feeling, and a reminder of what good food is supposed to do. It fills you up, warms you, and makes you want to come back. My stamp on this place is... "Mass appeal." Perfect for family, solo visits, out-of-town guests, or anyone craving a real taste of home.

This restaurant has been a favorite for me and my family for a LONG time! It's TAKE OUT ONLY and…read morefor me, calling ahead works BEST! The food is fresh, and tasty! I typically will get fried chicken and shrimp platter, which is JUST PERFECT. Depending on how much you eat for me, a platter lasts me for 2 meals! For people who know WHY, their wings are the right size for a normal, non hormone type healthy chicken. I asked about them and they source their wings from farms that still grow chicken without reliance on hormones that make them grow too fast and that end up with a lot of extra fat on them. NORMAL size wings. Even in grocery stores I won't buy those extra large ones. Their string beans are DELIGHTFUL and fresh, with loads of fresh garlic. The greens are delicious, the potato salad is closest (for a restaurant) to what I grew up with - meaning they make it while the potatoes are still hot. When the potato salad is made with cooked cold potatoes, they don't absorb any of the seasonings which is how you can tell. They also have their own blended lemonade! Try to get there before it's sold out! I've ordered their party sized family meals before when I suddenly expected company and didn't have time to cook. Those are a great deal and much better tasting than the chain store variety foods! Fresh and DELICIOUS! One of my personal favorite restaurants!

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.
