On this occasion I ordered 1lb of no head shrimp all flavors extra spicy (spiciest level, only try this one if you like super spicy because it is hot but freaking delicious) I made the rice at home and had eggs and cucumbers available to complete my meal. I have enough for 1-2 more meals worth of shrimp. It is a good price point, and the flavors used are unique and different from other seafood places I have tried. They always include the items needed and the customer service is amazing whether you order in person or DoorDash. When you do go into the establishment it feels like you're dinning in a bikini bottom type of place. It's very spacious and clean inside.

The spice level was perfect I almost wanted it spicer. Overall it's worth the money. I'll definitely be coming back.

Lord where do I even START!! This place is amazing beyond belief I'm not kidding!…read more We made a reservation for a company luncheon with 16 of us. Made it 1 week in advance and they were set and ready for us! The employees are so sweet and helpful and the food came out before the other half of the table even finished ordering I'm not kidding! The fried chicken combo (3 piece) was phenomenal! I got Mac n cheese with yams and cornbread and then added on a chili for extra $ Everything was piping hot so it was very fresh. The chicken was juicy as all hell and that flavor oh my gosh! Best fried chicken I've ever had. The yams were so sweet and flavorful all the way through, and the Mac n cheese had a nice crust with the perfect creamy texture to it! The cornbread was as good as any and the chili beans had the perfect kick! I do prefer a more soupy meat based chili myself but no complaints here! A lot of my coworkers had the fried fish and were RAVING about it! The type of fish they use really shows in the taste and quality! The spicy fried fish was good as well and the sea food gumbo was also delicious all according to the table! Prices are to be expected, it's not your cheapest option but babe it's the yummiest so get on over there! The inside is cute and cozy and they accommodated our party size nicely. They had some good music playing in the kitchen too which we appreciated! Nonetheless DONT MISS THIS PLACE! Please come support and give them your business!

My boyfriend and I shared the four piece chicken combo plate, we got chili beans and mac & cheese, and we got two extra sides that were greens and the yams. The chicken was a 10/10 - nice and hot! greens - 9/10 very flavorful ( my bf's favorite side ) yams- 7/10 it was a little too sweet for my liking but i still enjoyed it and liked it. chili beans - i wish there was a little bit more meat in mine so 6.5/10 Mac and cheese - 7/10 it was nice and hot Corn bread - i wish we had butter for our cornbread and it was a little bit more soft. Overall, this place is a solid 9/10 the food, the manager was amazing, they took care of us, the staff would check on us. Very attentive and my favorite part was the food was nice and hot

I haven't had this for years and have been craving this Cajun seafood meal so while I'm not sure how much sausage and corn was supposed to come with, I kind of wish I had a little more of both (two pieces of corn, and about 6 slices of small pieces of sausage)... nevertheless, all of it was delicious. Definitely coming back to try the other flavor recommended by the staff/chef.

When you walk in you are greeted with a cozy area with a few tables and an open kitchen to the left side, all of the tables were occupied when we got there but luckily one opened up right after we got there. One thing I will mention upfront, and this is NOT a complaint; if you are in an impatient person who wants to be served immediately, don't come here. There isn't a lot of staff and ordering and food takes a bit of time, I think thats just fine, plus the food is worth the wait! I got the shrimp po boy with yams and mac and cheese, my mom got the fried chicken with pilaf and potato salad. The po boy was delicious, the mac and cheese was good, and the yams were absolutely fantastic. The fried chicken was even better, and I'm sad I didn't get it if I'm being honest! It was some of the best fried chicken I have ever had, second only to my Grandma's fried chicken. I can see why this place was rated as one of the 30 best black owned restaurants in the country. IN THE COUNTRY. I also got a slice of their peach cobbler to take home and share with my wife, and once again, it was one of the best pieces of peach cobbler I've ever had, and once again, second only to my Grandma's. The top crust was especially delicious, I am not sure what they did but it was fantastic! I am sad that I hadn't made it before today, but I am definitely gonna be back and will be bringing as many people as I can to Chef Paul's.

Crispy and well seasoned on the outside but juicy inside! Fried okra and fried green tomatoes also are amazing to share with the table.

The restaurant itself is small but has larger tables. Which are needed when you order so much food! The hot link is delicious as well, definitely get the after kick of spiciness, but doesn't overwhelm! And the chili beans have deep flavor to them! Would recommend Chef Paul's to anyone looking for some good old-fashioned soul food!

I opted for rice instead of fries to balance all the fried food. The rice was a great choice but I did not expect the serving to be so massive. It was three of each item along with the coleslaw. The container wouldn't even close and it was given in a massive paper bag just to accommodate the weight. Huge serving and very satisfying. My favorite was surprisingly the fish, then shrimp, then oysters. I did not even come close to finishing all the fried deliciousness. I'll definitely be back to try something else and probably bring a friend to split the food with.
