Honey turkey sandwich
Marissa M.

An update to my previous praises on H.H. Healthy and Tasty is almost nonexistent in Jamaica Queens, an area overflooded with chain fast food restaurants. Henry's is a modern southern soul food buffet with a healthy spin. Located inside the Farmer's Market is Good Ol Healthy Henry's. You can order anything tasty made healthy. Wings, Hot pressed sandwiches, paninis, salads, chicken, fish, Mac & Cheese, rice. I love the organic, no sugar TEAS. With a variety of flavors such as: Coconut, Blood Orange, Black Almond and Lemongrass to sample. The food here has just the right amount of seasoning, low sodium and the teas have no sugar. Staples here to try: The Mac N Cheese, Tilapia, Lasagna, Hot Pressed Sandwiches (Steak and Turkey). The sandwiches are packed with protein, juicy cuts of meat, mixed greens, tomato and special sauces. The bread!!!! Is fresh and toasted to perfection. The staff is friendly and there about 5 people serving. I hear the breakfast menu features chicken and fresh waffles! I'll be back like Arnold S.

My coworker and I love the mac & Cheese; and one raves about the collard greens. We usually order lunch 3 to 4 times a week.

If I tell you my office ordered catering from here two years ago and I still remember how good it…read morewas- would you believe me?? How about since that day I have NEVER seen this place open so I swore the person lied to me until last Saturday. After church it was freezing and I was about to walk home when I saw the lights on. Now I will say that I am not used ordering in a small quaint area- But BABY!! Talk about a hole in the wall hidden gem! This was one of those if you know you know moments and I risked a full $32 on two plates of food to experience pure food ecstasy. No lies just the truth- that catfish, Mac and greens will bring you to know knees in thanksgiving for all who participated in making it including the fisherman. Some slap ya momma good soul food. I would not recommend that you stand inside like I did it's to hot and stuffy but the woman inside was SWEET! There is parking out front and I have no idea what was on the menu. When I walked in the lady said this is what we have and I said I'll take two. No there is no seating area or a bathroom so I took it on home and my son and I we went to town. Everything was seasoned perfectly, the fish was crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. It HIT THE SPOT!

Normally I give them a 5 stars for the fish. But today not so much. There was no special seasoning…read morethat I usually get on the fish. I guess they had a new person frying the fish. The only reason i noticed, other then the taste, I did not see the little green specks on it, which was ither oregano or parsley or basil. How every I was very disappointment.

There's often a short wait, which isn't surprising given how consistently packed the dining room is. The brunch menu is stacked with crowd favorites, and the music always sets the vibe--something you can really enjoy while you eat. But the food? Phenomenal. The fried catfish was seasoned and fried to crispy perfection. The turkey wings were tender, flavorful, and cooked just right--fall-off-the-bone good. And the yams? Sweet, rich, and perfectly seasoned... honestly hard to stop eating. The macaroni was rich and satisfying, and the potato salad is always a standout for me. For dessert, I had the chocolate cake--and it was exactly how I like it: moist with real, creamy frosting that doesn't miss. The brunch sangria was also a hit. I mixed red and white, and it was smooth and refreshing. Portion sizes are generous, so you definitely leave satisfied. And Danny, the owner, really sets the tone--he's always present, checking in with guests, jumping in to help the staff, and clearly running a tight operation. Nettie's continues to be the go-to spot for soul food--consistently good, every time.

There were only 2 people working when we walked in & a 3rd person walked in he greeted us with a smile & he was nice. We ordered fried fish oxtail Mac & cheese and lobster/shrimp Mac & cheese. The fish was good but not crispy like I would have liked. The Mac & cheeses were a disappointment. It wasn't Mac & cheese it was more oxtail macaroni NO cheese. I'm sure because of the consistency cheese was in there somewhere but it wasn't the Mac & cheese u would think u were about to eat. I didn't care for it. The lobster/shrimp was not good at all it seemed all the seasoning was on the top so we mixed it up to make sure & it got worse it was super salty shrimps were too small it just wasn't what we expected.

I saw this place on TikTok, it looked great so I decided to give it a try. I was very disappointed…read more The whiting was thin and not crispy and very bony. Not ideal when you're in the mood for a good fried fish. The wings had so much potential, they were nice and crispy, but there were way too many feathers left on all of them. They need to clean their chicken better. The only good thing was the fried shrimp. It was crispy and had great flavor. I wouldn't recommend you go out of your way to come here, but if you're in the neighborhood, then give it a try. It seems to be hit or miss.

Queens Soul Food is a small takeout spot, there's nowhere to sit and dine in but the customer…read moreservice is always amazing. The ladies are so nice and the food is good (for the most part). They offer samples on any and everything. This may have been my 4th time eating from here. The food I've had in the past was good. This time the food wasn't as great but it was still decent. The greens were salty and the Mac was bland (the candy yam juice on top made it better). But it was still edible.

This take out spot just opened and is off Jamaica Avenue and Guy R. Brewer Blvd. It was not noisy…read morebut I was there when they 1st opened. Seems to get crowded in the afternoon . This restaurant identifies as Black-Owned . There is no parking and it seems to be causing congestion as there are people double parking to pick up orders . The staff are friendly and they serve a full menu of soul food and Jamaican food . They will let you sample some items . The menu is extensive and expensive but what I tried was delicious. On the Soul Menu BBQ Turkey wings - they were good ! Smothered turkey wings BBQ Ribs Beef Ribs Fried chicken Fish - I had Catfish which was delicious ! Whiting Porgies Shrimp Collard Greens -not bad but needs some work . Candied yams Mac and cheese - I wasn't a fan Beans - I think Lima White rice Potato Salad Tuna Macroni Salad - I liked it but it's got a lot of Mayo Dinners come with corn bread . Jamaican Menu Jerk Turkey Wings Oxtail Stewed chicken Jerk Chicken Rice and Peas Cabbage Plantain They have dessert as well though I think I remember chocolate , red velvet and carrot cake . But I had the Banana Pudding ! It was excellent ! Made with vanilla wafers ! They deliver on door dash .

This unassuming little spot was very well rated and it was one of the few soul food spots that…read morestood out in a few online lists and FB groups. So..... we went and totally understand the hype. 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.
