The fish fried rice from Garden of Bilal is legendary in these Uptown streets. They had a location that closed on Wadsworth Ave., so I'm happy they brought it back. Ion care whose name is on the awning..LOL. The review from JL Jupiter is worth ALL the hype: https://youtu.be/op00zFJ5-70?si=fsYfFYXsZUdN63DS

Drove pass this restaurant several times on the weekends; however, the lines were too long. Today, Oct. 4, 2023, the line was the shortest I've ever seen, so I decided to stop. It was about 12:40pm. The wait time from the line to walking out with my food was an hour. The place is small and narrow and take out only. The employees were VERY a polite and pleasant. I even observed them checking each order to make sure it was correct when they called your name. I think they call or text you when your order is ready, but I wasn't asked to give my phone number, so I just waited inside until my name was called. I ordered the fish hoagie and a fish platter with Mac & cheese and candied yams. The platter came with a hefty piece of cornbread. The fish was fried and had a nice golden color and it was fried just right. It was light and crispy. The sauce had a nice flavor and the roll was very fresh. They also gave nice portions of fish. On my platter, I liked that my fish was separate from my side of Mac & Cheese and candied yams. Many places let the fish on top of the sides and the fish gets soggy. The Mac had a pretty good taste. I wished my candied yams were a lil sweeter and softer, but they were good. If the lines were long today, I would have driven past again; but I'm glad I got a chance to get in today. It was worth it.

Fish fried platter with greens, yams, and Mac & cheese

Garden of Bilal is definitely a staple in uptown! It is great to see the old recipes back in action. I got the fried fish platter with greens, yams, and Mac & cheese on the side. The greens were a bit bitter. I believe the yams have pineapples in them. I had to get used to that, but they were tasty. The fish and Mac & cheese were amazing! I will be back!

$40 in the trash can.

I was torn in deciding to write this review simply because I do not feel good about giving a negative review to a small business; however, there was just too many issues with my order that must be addressed. I ordered a wing platter with potato salad and broccoli and my husband got a fish, potato salad and broccoli platter. Every wing in my platter had broken bones/blood and the color of the meat was weird. The potato salad's texture was mushy and water logged. I tried to doctor it up, but there was no hope for it and the broccoli needed some serious seasoning. My husband, who is not a picky eater said that his fish had a funny taste to it. When I tasted a piece, I immediately knew that it had been freezer burned. Both platters went in the trash! That was a waste of almost $40.00.

FISH FRIED RICE PLATTER

Went here finally after hearing they had reopened under a new name , it almost taste as I remember . The service is Good but the wait time is long , the line is usually out the door , typical store where you order not really a seating area . I also purchased the fish hoagie is was good you can add what you would like on it . Soul food is also sold here so the menu is quite extensive . I'll try something else soon

Fried rice which is just brown rice.  So disappointed

Wow! I became aware of this restaurant, because one of my…read moredaughters said she wanted to visit this eatery during a planned trip to Philadelphia. I read reviews and they were somewhat mixed, but I put my faith in the Elites, who were on point. I ordered the fried fish, mac and cheese, and candied yams. The portions were enormous and more than I could eat alone. My daughter ordered the same sides, but had the bbq chicken bites, and an extra side of seafood salad. My fish was not greasy at all, and the cornmeal crust was light and crispy. It wasn't over seasoned and was delicious. The cinnamon and nutmeg in the candied yams were well balanced and reminiscent of a southern Thanksgiving dinner... a little sweet, but yummy nonetheless. The macaroni and cheese was also as Thanksgiving worthy and beyond. I tasted a chicken bite, and wished I had ordered those too... my eyes are truly bigger than my stomach lol. I liked the seafood salad, but if I lived in Philly, I would order it to accompany a great big mixed green salad. It holds its own and for me, doesn't need to be a side dish. It was an honor to visit Ms. Saud's restaurant, and contribute to her mission

The buffet on Monument Road is OVER-Priced! I paid $10.79 for one piece of fish, one chicken wing…read moreand a side of mac. Meanwhile, I could have added a few dollars more and received a whole meal with more meat and 2 sides at the original location! I will only return for the packaged seafood salad- its filled with seafood and perfect for seafood lovers!

I've wanted to try this place for years, but for a while they didn't have wings, so I never made it…read morethere. My spouse recently recommended it one night, and we finally decided to give it a try. At first, I thought the meal was a bit pricey, but I have to admit--it was definitely tasty and the portion size was solid. You get a good amount of food for what you pay for. I'll definitely be going back when I'm in the mood for some good fried chicken.

Corinne's Place - Worth the Toll and Then Some…read more Food Quality & Taste Let's start here because this is the heart of the experience. The food was delicious. The kind of delicious that makes you pause mid-bite and smile. Everything tasted like home--like your mom or grandmom was in the kitchen, apron on, seasoning from the soul. We had the mac and cheese, potato salad, and cabbage, and everything delivered comfort, warmth, and love. And listen... Mom has already requested a return trip, which should tell you everything you need to know. Cuz my Momma don't play about her food. Value for the Price Let's face it soul food aint cheap. Plus, you're not just paying for food--you're paying for an experience that feeds your spirit as much as your stomach. Cleanliness The space was clean, well-kept, and inviting. Cozy without feeling cramped, and comfortable in a way that makes you want to sit, eat, and take it all in. Customer Service Warm. Friendly. Genuine. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. And the highlight? Meeting the owner, Ms. Corinne herself. She and my mom talked like they were old friends catching up, which honestly felt very on-brand for this place. Wait Time & Convenience No issues here. Parking is street parking--very similar to parking on a busy Philly street, so nothing shocking or stressful if you're used to city life. Once inside, everything flowed smoothly. We were seated quickly. Presentation & Atmosphere The atmosphere is intimate, cozy, and full of history. Pictures line the walls--Ms. Corinne, her family, and famous faces--which makes the space feel personal and lived-in. It's the kind of place where stories live in the walls. Red Flags or Warnings No real red flags. Just know it's an intimate setting--not huge--but honestly, anyone can come in and enjoy it comfortably. Overall: Corinne's Place is more than a restaurant--it's a memory, a feeling, and a reminder of what good food is supposed to do. It fills you up, warms you, and makes you want to come back. My stamp on this place is... "Mass appeal." Perfect for family, solo visits, out-of-town guests, or anyone craving a real taste of home.

This restaurant has been a favorite for me and my family for a LONG time! It's TAKE OUT ONLY and…read morefor me, calling ahead works BEST! The food is fresh, and tasty! I typically will get fried chicken and shrimp platter, which is JUST PERFECT. Depending on how much you eat for me, a platter lasts me for 2 meals! For people who know WHY, their wings are the right size for a normal, non hormone type healthy chicken. I asked about them and they source their wings from farms that still grow chicken without reliance on hormones that make them grow too fast and that end up with a lot of extra fat on them. NORMAL size wings. Even in grocery stores I won't buy those extra large ones. Their string beans are DELIGHTFUL and fresh, with loads of fresh garlic. The greens are delicious, the potato salad is closest (for a restaurant) to what I grew up with - meaning they make it while the potatoes are still hot. When the potato salad is made with cooked cold potatoes, they don't absorb any of the seasonings which is how you can tell. They also have their own blended lemonade! Try to get there before it's sold out! I've ordered their party sized family meals before when I suddenly expected company and didn't have time to cook. Those are a great deal and much better tasting than the chain store variety foods! Fresh and DELICIOUS! One of my personal favorite restaurants!
