Fried whiting, shrimp, and catfish were absolutely FIRE Crispy, seasoned perfectly, and cooked just right. But the sides? Next level. The mac and cheese was rich and cheesy, the collard greens had that real homemade flavor, and the candied yams were sweet perfection. Every bite hit. Definitely one of the best soul food meals I've had in a long time -- highly recommend! read more

I only went to this spot after going to the French pastry shop next door. Never heard of "make my fish". One of your employees walked by my wife and I and told us to go get a sample. We went got the sample and bought a catfish dinner with Collards and Mac n cheese. The catfish reminds me of gator bites from south Carolina AAA+++ Will be making this once a week trip! read more

I was excited to visit this location because I've been dying for some good fried fish without having to head down to the city. I've never been to their Harlem location so I can't compare it to that, specifically. The location is nice and clean inside and you can smell the aroma from the fish frying. The woman at the counter was polite. We ordered a Fish and Shrimp dinner with Mac and cheese and Collard Greens, Shrimp dinner with fries and Mac and cheese, sides of Candied Yams and Potato Salad, for drinks we got Half and Half and a Miami Vice(Lemonade/Fruit Punch). We were running other errands nearby so I stepped out for about 25 mins and my order was packed when I returned. I was disappointed to see that the sides of Candied Yams and Potato Salad were missing from the bag when I got home. The sides were $6.50 each so it's no small loss. The Whiting was decently seasoned, but nothing to write home about. The Shrimp were on the sweeter side, but didn't have much seasoning. The hot sauce and tartar sauce were pretty standard fare. The Collard Greens were tough and bland. The Mac and Cheese was quite greasy and a little overseasoned. The drinks were ok, but the sweet tea tasted like the powder teas. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with order, especially with the missing items. Our total was about $75 and if you subtract the missing items it ends up being $30pp. I can say the portions were substantial, but the taste left me wanting more. I know it's a new location so I'm willing to give it at least one more chance. read more

Make My Fish, Make My Day! This is such a nice addition to the Yonkers area. First things first, I had never heard of Make My Fish until my partner mentioned wanting to try the Harlem location. I became curious and took a look on their IG page. The food looks absolutely mouth watering! I was excited to see the Yonkers location open up so I could conveniently try them. I stopped in on the first Saturday of their opening week and it was crazy. They were closing at 7 and I got there by 630. The line was long and they ran out of some items, so I left. I returned on the following Tuesday, just after opening to pick up lunch for my partner and I. The line was already building but I had a good chance. I was welcomed by the staff, including one of the owners, and easily ordered my meals. The menu consists primarily of seafood options like shrimp, catfish, and even a seafood boil however, they also offer chicken wings. Moreover, this is soul food at its core. Sides include candied yams, collard greens, and potato salad. For more basic options, they also offer french fries. I decided to have the fish dinner which included 2 sides, I went with the potato salad and candied yams. For my partner, I got him the fried shrimp dinner with fries and mac and cheese. To wash it down, I also got homemade iced teas. They use a number call out system to collect your meal and My food was up within about 10 minutes but I suppose, depending on what you order, it could be longer. Now let's talk about the taste and appearance - Firstly, the packaging could be improved. The fish and shrimp were packed in paper bowls then wrapped in wax paper. The sides were comfy in plastic containers. The use of paper bowls could be improved, it just does'nt seem secure as things tend to move around. Moreover, the food is hot and potential sweating could further impact the paper bag. A nice corrugated box would've been better. I like the plastic containers and I can see the convenience in them using them. As for the taste, my fish dinner was top tier! I received about 4 pieces of deliciously seasoned whiting fish. It wasn't as crispy as I like but it was still great. The seasoning was also reminiscent of what I've had in terms of authentic soul food. If you're looking for old bay seasoning, this ain't it. The candied yams were soft with a rich, sweet syrup. I could taste notes of cinnamon and vanilla all wrapped in. As for the potato salad, it was also a hit for me. It had a traditional soul food taste and it was prepared well. From what I heard, they have traditional potato salad and a sweet potato version. Regarding my partner's meal, which I also ate from, the shrimp was on-point. The seasoning is again, very soul food like however, there is a subtle sweetness. Overall delicious and fried nicely. The french fries weren't that great. They're regular frozen fries but they tasted a little old. Maybe a better brand would work. Finally, they missed the mark with the mac and cheese. It was salty and greasy. It also lacked the creamy, cheesy texture that I anticipated after seeing the IG videos. In terms of service, staff were kind and welcoming. As for the restaurant itself, it's a small take out spot. There are a few high top chairs available for you to enjoy your meal there but given how popular it is right now, there really isn't room to sit down. The restaurant is located within a shopping plaza, so parking is ample. In addition to food, there is also a juice bar inside. From what I've learned, this is new offering that they do not provide at the Harlem location. I did not order anything, but it looks like a nice setup. Finally, Pricing seems fair and aligns with what I'm used to paying. Overall, the food was promising. I wouldn't say I was blown away but I did enjoy it and I will be returning! read more

Being a southern boy I love my fried catfish and Make my Fish delivers. I would prefer a little more cornmeal in the batter but overall the consistency flavor and cook on the fish was excellent. The sides are equally as good. These were some of the best collard greens I have ever had and the Mac & cheese was baked nicely and was very delicious. I definitely recommend take out. The interior of the restaurant is very small and shares with a juice bar. Seating is very limited. I didn't wait more than 10 minutes after ordering before I had my to go order so service is very fast. I will be back several more times during my next three weeks in the area. Excellent fish read more

I went to Make My Fish for the first time today. I arrived at approximately 4:45 pm. I ordered one Whiting Fish Sandwich. I HAD TO WAIT 25 MINUTES! The clerk who took my order and my money did not inform me the approximate wait time. I may not have minded 15 minutes. But 25 minutes is way too long. And when I received my order, I opened it immediately because I expected it to be tongue-burning hot. It was lukewarm. The taste of old oil lingered on my tongue after my first bite. It was really awful. I'm never going back. read more

New location, the line was out the door so I left. I came back and I left again. 3rd time I waited and finally got what I've been wanting some of the crispiest and heavily flavored chicken wings and one of the best collard greens you can buy. The Mac and cheese is good too (to much flavor) if that's even a complaint. The fried whiting was really good and flavorful, I love their flavor profile. Fries are fries no seasoning/salt but that's fine cause everything else is. Half and half always hits. read more

Outstanding!!! A friend suggested we try Make My Fish. Glad he did. Because of a mix-up in ordering, I only got the shrimp - but was not disappointed. While waiting for our order, the owner or chef offered us samples of the whiting and catfish. Awesome! Likewise, collard greens were awesome. Can't wait to go back. read more

The fish tasted like chicken, I was very good with the seasoning on it, though was fries were average at best. The service was simple and fine, although I wish there more options for sodas. The place is your typical "take your ordered food and go" restaurants but in their case, it's effective. The inside looks nice. Still a good place, good for them for expanded from Harlem. read more

Just went there earlier this week and got the catfish and shrimp dinner with Mac n cheese and collard greens as well as one of the drinks the Miami vice. The catfish was seasoned, crispy and seasoned perfectly. Best catfish I've had in a while. I didnt care to much for the shrimp though it wasnt seasoned enough for my liking yet still good nonetheless. The Mac n cheese was also very good and seasoned perfectly. Defintely would recommend going here glad they brought this to westchester. read more

I've been to the Harlem location and I was so happy to see them come to Yonkers. However I am disappointed. The taste is good but they are extremely stingy. This is supposed to be a fish dinner. It looks like they were running out of fish and gave me the fish scraps. For $22, this is the fish I get. read more

Tried it today and it was not busy. The lady making smoothies and giving samples was very sweet. But taller gentleman preparing the food and giving the orders to customers, was oddly cold and stone faced. I tasted the fries I while in the store and they were completely flavorless, not even a bit of salt. I went back to the counter and asked if they had any salt since the fries needed it. The answer was just "No" cold face, no sorry, no explanation, nothing. I just looked at him then said okay and left. A soul food restaurant with no salt on site? Wow. And only 2 weeks open and apparently already uncaring of his job. I want this place to succeed but PLEASE don't forget it's not just about the food, my guy. Good customer service is vital or you will not last here. I'll give them another chance and hope they get it right next time. read more

My husband and I was grateful that we now have a fish place in Yonkers. Today Feb 21 we went to Make my Fish and ordered 2 Catfish, Shrimp Dinner and bought two smoothies too. However, when we came home we were missing the shrimps in the order. Just make sure you check your order before you leave. PS. Food was very delicious. read more

Authentically delicious fish in a friendly restaurant environment . It's what you want for a cheat meal

food delicious people fabulous! thank you for coming to YO So many selections and very fresh

I have been waiting what seems like a year for this restaurant to open . There is no fish/chips nor soul food in the area unless you head to Mt. Vernon. And fresh juice also a plus !! I popped in on Ash Wednesday to justify my fish purchase , so of course the place was busy at mid-day. The line was orderly. Pay on one side wait on the other . I had wanted to ordered the catfish dinner with grits and mac and cheese. They were out of grits and it was only about an hour into their day. I subbed for candied yams and ordered additional fries . Coupled with two cans of soda the order came to just over $35. The wait wasn't long, the music gave a relaxing vibe and in under 15 minutes we received our order. The meal was well wrapped in wax paper. The fish was not greasy even after the 10 minute drive home . The catfish was seasoned and not overly breaded but seasoning was heavy on black pepper not much else. The tartar sauce had dill undertones that brightened the fish.Heavy black pepper topped the mac and cheese which was an overall disappointing side. Soggy noodles dripping in oil, sporadic cheese clumps , no creamy texture just greasy mush. I hope I just got the last of the pan but it was really not good. Fries were obviously standard restaurant depot crinkle cuts. They were unseasoned, no salt and oddly dry . I would presume air fryer or baked and definitely not worth $5. The yams were deliciously sweet with a hint of cinnamon and orange. I would definitely revisit for a fish sandwich but will hold off on sides until I hear reviews for grits and greens because the fries and mac were . read more
