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!

The next time we visit will be because we planned it, for the food! I didn't have pics of the food cause we were too busy eating!

I went for brunch today, and as always, business was booming. The place was full--people dining in,…read moregrabbing takeout, and even filling the bar. 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.

But if you go around 12/1 PM you're guaranteed to get what you want from the menu for that day. The staff is very friendly, especially Mr. Vince and they are priced really well! The most I've paid for a meal is $7, but of course that can go up or down depending on how much you order. I highly recommend the fried chicken here. Very moist, seasoned, crispy and far from oily! The veggies are typically seasonal. Spinach here is pretty great though. Other items you can find here are meatloaf, mac and cheese, hot wings, and various rice. For me it's conveniently located, and has become sort of my go to place. They also provide catering services. Highly recommended!

I ordered the turkey wings, lima beans, and collard greens. The order was plentiful as I had enough to save for the next day. The turkey wings was tasty and tender, I enjoyed the lime beans and the collard greens. I usually add acv to my greens. Although they don't add acv to their greens, I found the greens to be flavorful. I also ordered a slice of pineapple coconut cake. I will come here again and the service was out standing.

Everything came up to $16.88. The place is bright and clean. Food was good and seasoned well. My gripes are they served a person with no mask on. Had I not come so far I would have turned around. Also, I only got 1 one part of the wing with my dinner. I feel like the whole wing should be included which I expressed. Other than that I had previously spoken with one of the owners (wife) telling her my intentions to visit and she was really sweet and inviting. I will be back to try more items and hopefully add a star! Sorry forgot the menu pic.

Special shoutout to Krystal at the bar--she was doing EVERYTHING. Bartending and serving tables at the same time, and still made sure everyone was taken care of. You can tell she really works hard and keeps the place running smooth. The food... definitely hit the spot. I had the fried chicken with cabbage and also tried the fried fish with fries. Everything was seasoned well, fresh, and came out hot. That fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, just how it's supposed to be. The cabbage had great flavor too--not bland at all. The vibe is chill.. I'll definitely be back and would recommend it if you're in Queens and craving some comfort food

On my second visit, I went to see the restaurant in person and noticed the name had changed from Maxine to GT. The surrounding neighborhood wasn't what I expected and felt a bit run down. That said, the inside of the restaurant was clean, with an "A" health rating clearly posted in the window. There's no seating available, and all orders are taken behind bulletproof glass, which seems to reflect the area. I also appreciated that the food isn't sitting out in trays--it's prepared fresh in the back once you order. The staff handled food properly, putting on gloves after handling my payment. Overall, I'd rate the food a solid 5/5 and the location a 1/5, averaging out to a 3-star experience.
