A good friend and I dropped in to get some comfort food. The menu sounded tantalizing with the fried pork chops smothered with gravy. The menu has so many good sounding choices so it was hard to decide what to try for my first visit. I settled on the smothered pork chops meal and my friend decided to go with a conservative choice of a fried chicken meal. We placed our order and sat at one of the outside tables. One of the workers came out and gave us a Hot Link slider with french fries sample. The Hot Link slider was delicious and the fries were prepared the way excellent fries are made. The fries tasted like the ones that you quick fry, remove and then fry again. They were tender, great seasoning and a nice fried crunch. We both loved the sample more than our lunches The chicken came with two pieces of fried chicken, corn on the cob and my friend chose mac n cheese as his side dish and a corn bread muffin. He loved the Mac n cheese and the muffin which was very moist and tasted great. He thought the chicken was good, not real juicy or flavored but a good fried chicken. My smothered pork chops plate was huge, came with 2 good sized fried pork chops, corn on the cob and I chose potato salad and a roll. The pork chops were relatively tender, the gravy was a little more liquidity than what I normally eat, potato salad was a very good homemade side dish and the gravy over the rice was tasty. I would have preferred a more thicker traditional homemade brown gravy. I couldn't finish my order for lunch so I ended up getting two meals out of my lunch. We plan to go back to have the hot link and french fries. The menu has a wide variety so we'll have go back a couple of times to try some of the other dishes. Service is excellent and you get generous portions. Visit Frickin Fried for good home style comfort food.

This place is so good!! I got the smothered pork chops over rice with greens Mac and Cheese and corn bread muffin. The pork chop was literally cooked how I like it! I have yet to find a place that makes them the way I do!! I'll be going back again by the end of this week!!! The customer service is always great as well!!

Wow! Eating here is like eating at home. Everything that we ordered was seasoned to perfection. Made with love and soul food skills! The smothered pork chops were huge, not the thin see through pork chops. The gravy smooth and tasty. The gumbo was really nice with the chicken sausage while gave it good flavor. We also got the greens, mac n cheese, and yams with corn bread. All very good. Parking is super convenient and accessible. They have indoor and outdoor seating with a rest room for customers. We can't wait to come again!

About five mins from my house and some how one plate came out soggy and the other well done. Mac and cheese was alright.. the people there were nice but maybe because it was the end of the day the food was a miss. Who knows not sure we shall see if there is a next tim.

Basa, alligator, Mac n cheese and potato salad

1st time here, came on lunch. I'm giving them 3 stars because the mash potatoes tasted like they had blue cheese in them. Not very good at all, I also had the lamb chop combo which included salad/mash potatoes. No dressing was on the salad or in the bag. The chops with the butter sauce on them were very good and the cornbread. We also had the fish combo with bassa and alligator, both were very good. The sides that came with the fish combo were ok.

Man am I glad I found this spot! We were looking for a good non-chain bbq spot and stumbled on this place- and boy is this a hidden gem! Down south home cookin all the way around, including deep fried ribs and pies! Not only is the food amazing, but the ladies give you free samples as you're deciding what you want of while you wait. These ladies know how to draw people in.. and their food is amazing!

Food was delicious, portions were awesome. If you want to eat good and be super full afterwards this is the spot for sure.

Fried catfish dinner w/ collard greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread - Delicious!!!

***Update: Received a message from the owner Jamie about the different amount that was charged to my account for my meal. Their merchant services charges a fee when you pay using a card. Apparently I missed this verbiage when I was using their tablet to pay. I really appreciate that the owner personally contacted me to explain this. Thank you, Jamie! I have no problem with card fees as long as they're displayed or mentioned ahead of time. I'm happy to update my rating and my original review still stands correct. **Original Review***: Whew LAWD! That's that GOOD good right there. Mm hmm. Straight up schmackin'! That good ol' southern food royalty. I hit the jackpot tonight. I don't think this place knows what they've started. It's so hard to find good southern/soul/Cajun food out this way. I usually have to trek to the cuts of Oakland and dodge the homeless (and God forbid bullets), struggle to find parking, watch over my shoulder, and sometimes deal with bad service in the process. But to find this place in Concord is a goldmine! I recently came back from a trip to New Orleans. Ever since I left, I've been craving for some southern fried fish. I did a Yelp search just to see what might be around. Sure enough this spot popped up and I forgot that I had bookmarked it months ago. Took a drive to check it out and there was plenty of open parking out in front. Walked in and was warmly greeted by the owner (I think?!) and her sister. They showed me where to find a menu and I looked over it. My mind was pretty set on fried fish, but I still took a look just in case. Their menu offerings are wonderful! They've got the lovable fried suspects like fried chicken and fish, but they also have an entirely different menu on the wall of other specialities like oxtails, gumbo, and even clam chowder. The owner's sister mentioned that they had oxtail that day (a Sunday specialty). Lawd KNOWS that I love me some oxtail, but my heart was too set on that fried fish. Ended up ordering the fried catfish dinner with collard greens and mac and cheese. I was planning on getting some banana pudding but the owner told me that they were sold out of it along with their peach cobbler and their sweet potato pie. While I waited for the food, I chatted with the owner and her sister. She told me that they had been open for 10 months and that she's usually in the back cooking but decided to trade places with her son so that he could have some practice in the kitchen. I just LOVE that this is a family owned and operated business (black woman owned at that!). I fully support it! They brought me samples of their oxtail and gravy and cherry lemonade. When I say mouthwatering! BOTH were scrumptious but them oxtails bay-beh! Geezuuuus! So tender and delicious with the most flavorful gravy! It left me wanting more. So good and such a sweet gesture too. When my food was ready, the owner's sister showed me what it looked like. My mouth literally watered y'all. Had to close my mouth for fear of some drool coming out. My entire car smelled like the sweet aroma of that fried catfish, do you hear me?! I just KNEW it was finna be good from the smell alone. I don't know how I got home so fast, but as soon as I did, I dove head first into that damn plate. HALLELUUUUUUU!!!! I think my eyes rolled to the back of my head a few times. You. Guys. That. Catfish. ZZZAAAAAMN! You wanna talk about SEASONED?! You wanna talk about some southern fried?! You wanna talk about some BOMB ass fish. Yaaaasss! So, so, so good. Just what I wanted. Just what I needed. And them collard greens?! HITTIN'! And that cornbread?! HITTIN'! Need I say more? Did not and could not finish it all in one sitting. The leftovers are sitting in my fridge waiting to be eaten mañana as we speak. If the fish is that good I can only imagine what the banana pudding taste like. I am READY babyyy! Gimme, gimme, gimme! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was because of a minor discrepancy with the charge that was on my account. The owner has since addressed this issue, so I'm sure nothing like this will happen to any other customers in the future. Shoutout to the owner and her family for the wonderful welcome and sheer hospitality. You've just made a return customer out of me. I'll be back for a full serving of those oxtails real soon. Concord is "Frickin'" lucky to have Frickin' Fried in the neighborhood!

You just had to be there ...... Food: delicious! Everything was soooo good ! Service : above and beyond Ambiance : nice and perfect for the location This mom and pop spot was AMAZING !!!! This is a nice brunch / lunch / dinner place. I wouldn't recommend for a party over than 5. Seating is outdoors which is perfect for warm weather like today. Miss Jamie was sooo sweet as well as the other young lady (I didn't get a chance to get her name) Order in or takeout at its finest.

Obsessed with frickin fried! Visiting here felt like I was sitting at a friends family kitchen waiting to eat. The service from the moment we walked in was phenomenal! They offered us a sample and it really set the tone for what the food was going to be like. The sample alone had my mouth watering. And I'm pretty sure it was something with shrimp in it and we usually don't eat seafood but it was a 10/10. My husband ordered the fried chicken and I got the smothered chicken. Everything was seasoned to perfection and crispy when it needed to be. The portions are huge so you will definitely have some leftovers for dinner or lunch the next day like I did. Our favorite was the lemonade, yay for free refills, and the banana pudding! They both were the perfect amount of sweetness. I'm not one for getting refills on drinks but this time around I definitely went in. I was trying to stop my husband from getting a third refill and the lady was super sweet and told him to go ahead and come up to grab another which he was VERY excited about! We can't wait to be back!

Great Italian style restaurant, small and intimate. The service was great, the owner himself was serving and shaking hands with the customers. The rest of the staff were fantastic, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. I ordered were lamb shank, lined with a bed of mash potatoes, and veggies, with the most delicious gravy. I ate the whole thing in about ten mins. Carbonara and Lobster raviolis were ordered as well. Both were excellent, but the lamb shank was the best in my opinion.

I had taken her out last year for her birthday at Luna and at the end of the evening she was presented a lovely dessert on the house . Really pleased us both. No acknowledgment of my birthday last evening,even seeing gifts on the table which (Habib the owner)moved to make room for our plates. We both ordered the mushroom ravioli, which we had the last time. This time the raviolis had been cooked ahead of time because they were dry on the edges. We should've sent it back, but we didn't. Both of us are very good cooks so we know how easy it is to cook raviolis. I also cash purchased two containers of minestrone soup to go after we were finished our meal. I gave the server a $20 bill and all that came back was four dollars which means they kept the additional change. I didn't want to make a big deal about it, but, you don't round up and keep the change. We will look for another place to celebrate our birthdays.

Was looking for a good hot pot place, and was in the Concord area…read more So I'll start with what I didn't love, but I did think it was a great gimmick for the area. The music was way too loud, almost like a night club - where you have to practically raise your voice to talk. It's great for guys, where their voice projects, but it's more difficult for anyone that has a bit higher. There are no tongs (but they will give you extra chopsticks). Also, the individual induction units are right on the table, instead of inset. This causes the potential of hot soup base spilling as a more likely experience for clumsy people. For the thing I love about this place? First... value for money. $29.99 per person for all-you-can-eat hotpot? This is amazing in this age where an entree is like $25-30. Appetizers are ordered 2 at a time, and meats are 6 at a time. Meats only come one on a thin tray, which holds about 4-6 slices. So you'll be ordering other helpings, since there are I believe 5 beef selections, and a pork and chicken selection (7) total. The middle of the restaurant is a large bar where you get everything that isn't a meat. The selection of vegetables, and noodles are pretty vast, and almost always refilled. The seafood area has shrimp, clams, tilapia, and mussels. Sauces area also on the sides which makes it pretty much an on-going motion. It's not the high-end of hot pot by any means, but the ambience that they're projecting works for the area that it's in and how they compete with the rest of the restaurants in the area. But for the money? I'd go here. We did sit in a side-middle area where it wasn't a booth. However, they made sure to separate out the seating so that if you were a group of 3, they situated in opposite ends to create space. That attentiveness of spacing actually created a better atmosphere which was a small thing, but a smart thing. Love that they actually celebrate birthdays with banging of pots, and wishing well. It's something that is fun for groups and definitely nice if you happen to be celebrating a birthday! Definitely will come back.

We were in the area and remembered that this place had really good hotpot meat, so we decided to…read morecome back again! When we arrived, only bar seating was available, but we took it anyway because we were hungry and wanted to eat. They offer an extensive selection of food, and the quality is solid overall.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mommies ! This is my first time coming here and it's Mother's Day so…read morelet's get into it ! First it's a nice sunny day ! We have tried to come here before but it was super packed no parking and it was night time . This was months ago . This morning my man surprised me by bringing me here again for Mother's Day breakfast/brunch . We got there right when opening and the inside was already full ( people made reservations for Mother's Day but they had outdoor seating which is covered from the sun and has heaters ) They had a special menu for Mother's Day today so a lot of what you might see on the regular menu may have not been on today's menu . Our waiter let alone the rest of the staff were very nice and polite and kept wishing happy Mother's Day to everyone . It was very nice . Now food ! Ofcourse you know I got oysters . They had 5 different kinds to choose from but I got the dozen with all of them ! All fresh ! Some were more sweet some more Briney some more creamy . All of them were good and the shallot vinaigrette was the cherry on top ! He got the tortilla soup and we shared the cheesy crabby bread . He dipped it in the soup ( boys lol ) and sad it was good . My personal opinion I love the bread they used ! And nice flavor with out taking away from the nice amount of crab they put on it ! The steak Cobb salad was a very nice portion and the steak was cooked medium rare just how I like it . I was expecting it to be cut up pieces but no they gave you a whole filet which is nice if you want something light and filling I'd definitely recommend this salad . The clams were amazing ! The sauce was so savory just added a dash of lemon and I was in heaven . Plus the cheesy toasted bread they give you to slurp all that excellence lol top tier . Crab omelette was made with egg whites only no yolk , and had ample amount of LUMP crab meat no skimpy at all ! Potatoes were seasoned nice . And the waffles ( which comes by itself heads up that's why we ordered sausage and bacon as a side 8$ each kinda pricey. But we're very thick and good ) the waffles comes with a berry butter spread fresh fruit . Fluffy but still crisp. The limoncello mimosa flavor wise loved the limon but lacked the mosa part . Overall I'd highly recommend and want to come back to try more options . It was nice seeing all the happy families and the cutesy babies all around . Today was a beautiful day thankyou Wences !
