Everything was delicious and fresh. Wish we had one where I lived

I hate to be writing this review the way that I am because I really gave this restaurant every…read moreopportunity to succeed 100%. So as far as the atmosphere in the space, it's your typical corner chicken and fish joint. Nothing impressive. Everything's pretty dated and kind of the bare minimum to operate a restaurant. If you're expecting any level of class, this is not where you'd wanna go. To be clear, that's not a problem I didn't expect a high-end atmosphere just stating my observation. So I get to the counter I tell the lady I want a two piece Whiting and I explained that I've heard mixed reviews as far as underseasoned food and kind of soggy fries. I stated go heavy on the seasoning and I want the fries extra crispy Golden brown. She tells me that's not a problem. It'll be perfect perfectly seasoned very delicious. Extra crispy fries no problem. Great I pay for the food. Give her my name and I go sit down. Takes about 15 minutes for the food to come up as soon as I get it I can immediately tell the fries are undercooked and pale. But of course I try one anyway, and they're absolutely barely warm and soggy. Of course they're also underseasoned. So I go to the fish, which is hot. Take a bite of that also underseasoned. It's almost no salt at all on the outside of the fish. and we definitely have to mention the fact that the Whiting was so thin there was more breading then fish So I put a little bit of the tartar sauce on it, and some of their house special sauce, as well as a decent amount of salt from the shaker on the table, which helped out the fish a little bit. I don't know if it was the owner of the manager, but he had came back to the store while I was waiting and was walking around and I asked him for a fresh order of fries extra crispy, golden brown and he said yeah no problem he would take care of it. I'm waiting waiting waiting. I mean it's gotta be eight minutes go by. It feels like he finally brings out fries. Set them down mind you all my food is gone. I've been sitting there. I've ate my fish. I've ate the sides. I'm literally just waiting on the fries, which kind of kills the whole meal because I wanted to eat it together. He brings the fries and set them down and immediately take them back because they look exactly like the other ones, soggy and pale. So it takes them back to the kitchen drop them in the fryer again and cook some longer. About three minutes ago, but he brings them back out much better on the color and crispy, but still, of course significantly underseasoned. I'm not really sure why it's so difficult to make Golden brown fries that are not soggy or lukewarm. They're coming out of a hot fryer. They should be hot and served immediately with the food. For what it's worth I did eventually get crispy fries, but all my other food was gone. I didn't get to enjoy the meal as a whole meal and quite frankly all of it needed some extra love. They sprinkle like some paprika or something on the fries, but there's just zero salt and salt should be your number one seasoning on all of this stuff It sucks that I expressed all these concerns before ordering so none of it was an issue when I got the food and every issue that I brought up was present in my experience. I wanted it with everything for me to give them five stars but unfortunately, I have to settle on two stars.
