    Side of Cornbread - delicious!
    Linda B.

    We ordered through Uber Eats in the food was good, but not so great. I ordered the fried white fish sandwich and my friend ordered the fried whiting platter with a half pound of shrimp. It was only OK. nothing great nothing spectacular. have had better at other places. We also ordered some collard greens and a side of coleslaw, which were the best part of the dish because the collard greens came with turkey in it. That was the only saving grace. Will never order from here again!

    This was actually pretty tasty. I ordered delivery for a Friday evening meal and was not disappointed. I ordered two whiting plates with greens, one had fries, the other with shrimp, hush puppies and cornbread. Portion sizes are nice, not too small but also not gluttonous sized. The whiting and shrimp were nicely seasoned, not too salty, and weren't heavily breaded. Cornbread was moist and not too sweet; hush puppies were good but a bit dense. The greens were tasty and not overly salty or soft, they still had a nice crunch.

    First time stepping into this establishment. I was craving fried catfish, did a simple search, and this place did not disappoint. The plaza it was located in was kind of quiet. It had some great stores, but not too busy of an area. As I reached the front door the left door was locked, I thought the place was closed at first. Then my boyfriend tried the right door and it was unlocked. Boy am I glad he did! The place was not as aesthetically pleasing on the inside, seemed more of a catering spot. However, staff were very nice and helpful. I believe we met the chef who made some really good lemon cookies he was giving out as free samples. My boyfriend and I loved the fry seasoning used on the fish and wings. The collard greens did not disappoint. All the food was very yummy. Will definitely be telling my friends about this spot and will be back. It's hard to find authentic soul food the further you get away from the city (DC), I'd give this place a try!

    So my wife recommended trying this place out and I am glad she did. All of the food had great flavor and was what you'd expect. The NC bbq was vinegary, the smoked ribs, were smoked and tender. The collard greens, banana pudding , and sweet potato pie all not pictured were especially delicious- and we ate them before pictures could be taken. Service was great. Counter man smiled, knew the menu, could tell I was a new customer, and explained the choices. The owner even made a sweet potato waffle for me to try while I waited- from their chicken and waffles dish- which I will try next time! This is a small business and this was the weekend so I couldn't tell about the flow of business.

    I got the 1/2lb catfish and hush puppies with cornbread

    Had the fried catfish with hush puppies and cornbread and it definitely hit the spot. The catfish was crispy on the outside and tender inside, with good flavor and not overly greasy. Hush puppies were fresh and had that perfect golden crunch, and the cornbread was warm, slightly sweet, and a great side to round everything out. Solid comfort food and good portion size was good left full and satisfied. Would come back again when I'm craving classic Southern food.

    While my fiancé was in a rehab center down the street we both had a "hankering" for some soul food. I was happy to find this location nearby and that seemed to have some decent selections. Upon arriving I was quickly greeted by staff. As it was my first time they were happy to go through items on their menu and answer any/all of my questions. I decided to go with 2 fried fish platters did one with catfish and shrimp and the other one with whiting. I got the collard greens and mac and cheese for mine while he got okra and candied yams. For dessert I got one sweet potatoes pie and one sweet potatoes cheesecake. As for mine i thought the fish could of been fried a little longer (personal preference) as my fiancé likes it on the softer side. The collard greens and mac and cheese were really good. However, he did not like the okra and the candied yams he said lacked flavor from what you expect from a soul food restaurant. However, the dessert was amazing and probably some of the best sweet potatoe pie we have had especially from a public establishment. This by no means is a fast food type of place there will be a wait as most items are cooked to order. But it is a clean place with TVs for your enjoy while you await your meal. If I am ever back in the area I would definitely return to try other menu items as well.

    Smoke Ribs 1/3 Rack
    Nathan N.

    I really wish I could give a better review to a new restaurant hoping to make it, but I unfortunately have to give 2 stars. The interior is barren. Just a grid of tables, the front counter, and an ordering kiosk. Behind the counter almost looks like a storeroom and not a restaurant. Bathrooms are hidden down a back hallway, and surprisingly clean. They had a TV which was VERY loud and playing some violent show. Not sure why, seeing as it was facing the customers only so the employees couldn't even watch. Had to ask the cashier to turn it down, which they only did slightly (still too loud for a restaurant with no music or noise apart from the TV). If you do decide to eat here (which I wouldn't recommend), you should definitely get it to-go. We ordered there and ate there, and food took maybe 20-25 minutes to come out. Quite a long time when they were mostly empty. I ordered a 1/3 rack of smoked ribs. These were INCREDIBLY inconsistent. Some bites were tough as a rock. Some bites (like, 3) were extremely tender and delicious. Most were just slightly tough and not that enjoyable to eat. It came with hush puppies and fries. Compared to the fries, the portion of hush puppies seemed small. Both sides were good but nothing special. My Mom got the fried whiting fish with mac n cheese & coleslaw. She said all of it was just ok. My Dad got the fried chicken sandwich, which I tried a bit of. The bun was cold! Like not just room temp, cold like it came out of the freezer! The chicken itself was juicy, but bland. Half the taste of Popeye's but double the price. I will definitely not be back at C & E Southern Bites unless they make some drastic changes. Food is acceptable, bordering on bad; service is slow and not very attentive; the interior is cheap and empty.

    Ribs, Collards, Cornbread, Coleslaw

    Based on the strong yelp rating, I stopped in and was not disappointed. Seriously good BBQ ribs. Sides were excellent too. Prices were reasonable because you aren't paying for the ambiance.

    Fried Whiting Fish A la carte 1/2 lb

    I came across this place on a whim while I was in the area working, I ordered my go to order for Southern food, a two piece white with the side of yams and collard greens...babyyyyy! Seriously amazing food. Seasoned perfectly, fried perfectly, the sides were cooked perfectly as well. I'm picky when it comes to greens and this really hit the spot. The customer service was good, too. The young man at the front desk was very respectful and professional. Priced reasonably as well!! Def would be a regular spot for me if I lived in the area.

    Wings
    Tracy D.

    We got the fried shrimp platter that was delicately fried, nice pieces of shrimp and not oily like some places. The chicken wings were fried the same and very meaty. Some wings look like they've been found in a dumpster. Not these! The yams made me feel like I was having Thanksgiving in September. The Mac and cheese was lighter than most. Not overly cheesy which actually worked out because sometimes it takes over the meal. The hush puppies were slightly sweet with bits of corn inside. The coleslaw was the absolute best I've ever had. The collards were a bit salty yet tender. The gentleman taking our order was very patient and kind. His mom is from NC and they know how to throw down some good eats! As for ambiance it's your typical fast food type vibe. I'd definitely come back!

I was impressed when it was a variety of boutique oysters - Sweet Jesus, Ford Signature and Tangler. They were all very good and clean, I do wish they had remembered to bring the mignonette. The ceviche was fresh and flavorful. For entrees my husband got the Ribeye Special topped with a lobster sauce served with mushrooms and mashed potatoes. Steak was cooked perfectly and quality cut. My son got the filet and mushrooms with chorizo mac and cheese. Again, cooked well and quality cut. The mac and cheese was VERY good. I was a smidge complicated as I wanted the blackened scallop pasta but with shrimp and oysters instead. Zero problems. Penne pasta in a tequila lime sauce with peppers and onions. Delish! Our daughter got the steak and mashed potatoes off the kids menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. Restaurant was clean, there was plenty of staff and the manager stopped by a couple times to check on us or clear plates. It was a great experience and we'd definitely go back.

The restaurant ambience and decor even gave us fond memories of restaurants visited on our 2023 trip to Paris. The tuna tartare as a shared appetizer was delicious, as were our entrees - Trout Almondine and Duck Confit. The hardest decision of the night was actually dessert, which we would normally skip, but being our anniversary and first time at the Brasserie Royale, we indulged. The "British" (in a French restaurant?) seasonal offering of Sticky Pudding was too tempting not to try. It was excellent. The service and wine selections were equally enjoyable. It was busy on a Monday evening, so reservations are recommended. Our table for two was nestled between other small tables and it was interesting to both see and get reviews of other dishes. Overheard from the table to our right were criticisms of the squash ravioli and garlic sausage entrees. However, the table to our left was effusive about the creme brulee. We will be back.

She was clearly new because she asked for us to point on the menu with what we would like. Again, not a big deal. We sat for about 25 minutes and then she told us "it will be out any minute." About 10 more minutes passed and it came out. A 35 minute ticket time for med-rare steak and a croque madam is unacceptable. In addition, she forgot to ring up a side we asked for, which took another 7-8 minutes (even though she told us it would be out in an unrealistic 2 minutes). This experience overall was really underwhelming and a disappointment to a kid-free date with my wife. The actual food was good, per usual. While we will try Brasserie again, it was a massive shame.
