Karen C.

First time here. Service was quick. Its a small place that sits right on the boulevard. Street parking is available. Its kind of a hole in the wall but the fish was good - fresh and hot.

I've been meaning to try this place for some time now. With all the great reviews and overall rating I had some high expectations. The oxtail was amazing! Fall off the bone tender. However gravy and rice wasn't anything amazing. I'm not sure if it was just an off day but I took off a far for the collard greens and another one for the dry corn brea muffin. Greens were bitter sour tasting. I couldn't finish it. It wasn't for me. I love collard greens too!! The corn muffin was overly dry. The taste is really good but I couldn't get past the dryness. I'm sorry! I'd try again to see if it was an off day as I'm really rooting for this place. Great customer service!

cornbread

I ordered delivery via Uber Eats from here yesterday (Jan 2nd), and I have mixed feelings about the meal. I'll start with the positives: The cornbread was delicious--fresh with great texture. The catfish was also on point and actually pretty well-seasoned. However, the sides were a major letdown. I had the black-eyed peas, cabbage, collards, and mac & cheese, and they were all surprisingly bland. I understand that a restaurant often has to "cook for everyone" and might try to keep things neutral, but this is Southern cooking. It relies on seasoning! Even just a little salt would have gone a long way. It's hard to enjoy Soul Food when the sides taste like they haven't been seasoned at all. I enjoyed the fish, but they really need to step it up on the flavor for the sides.

Veggie Plate with a side of cornbread and snapper.
Latrese P.

I've been wanting to try Scend's so I finally decided to order through Door Dash for pick up. I'm trying to lighten up one my meat consumption so I decided to order the Veggie Plate (which comes with 4 sides): Yams, Mac N Cheese, Black Eyed Peas, and Greens. I also ordered a side of cornbread and a piece of snapper. The Veggie Plate was $13.99, cornbread was $2 I believe, and the Snapper was about $4. Everything was seasoned well for me and was delicious. My order was ready upon arrival.

The snapper was pretty good! Nice and crispy
Ms. Good K.

Honest review. This place WASN'T it. Customer service was beautiful, but the food disappointed. The fried snapper was pretty good and crispy. I do not appreciate frozen prawns. They cost toooo much not to be prepared fresh like the fish. The green were tender but had a sweet taste that I didn't absolutely love, at all. The Mac n cheese was gritty, not cheesy enough, and I couldn't finish it! Texture is equally important to taste. The peach cobbler. I forgot to take a picture but it was also GRITTY! Why?? The taste was ok but the grittiness took away significantly from the overall dish. Would I come here again? Probably not! So why the 5 stars? Customer service and location of the B.O.B is stellar.

Fried Catfish with Coleslaw
Allan Y.

Came in here a few nights ago and picked up some fried catfish & lemon pepper wings. The 6 piece catfish I got was fried to perfection and had good flavor. Good size pieces too. The coleslaw that came with fish was one of the better ones. The lemon pepper wings was okay, not enough flavor and over cooked a little, but still edible. The restaurant look very clean inside and the service was great, friendly!! I will return to try others menu items.

Fried chicken wing and snapper, red beans, and rice
Jeanette L.

For years, I passed this location up and I've always wanted to stop and give them a try. in February my husband and I stopped by and I ordered the fried chicken wing meal with a side of red beans and rice and collards. My husband went with the oxtails over rice and gravy. My honest opinion is that the food lacked salt and seasoning, and I am someone who does not add a lot of salt to my food. The chicken and snapper were cooked to perfection as were the oxtails, but they needed a little bit of salt. I have the same opinion for the sides. Everything is made with love by the hands of hard-working people and I recommend you come and give it a try and form your own opinion.

Red snapper

I ordered 10 pieces snapper and 8 pieces of so called prawns. The shrimp was heavily breaded not much flavor.. The red snapper was not good at all. Everything I ordered did not taste good.

This was how all the wings looked without any condiments.
Leslie H.

This was my first uber eats delivery. I thought I had to worry about the Uber driver but it was actually the food. It was terrible the chicken wings were a little burnt and had no flavor at all. The fish had a tiny amount of flavor and the greens were actually ok but I had to pay an extra $5 for a small container. It said the meal came with 2 sides but I had to pay for one I guess. I've heard good things about scends so maybe it was just an off day, but I probably won't be going back!

Sides Yams, Potato Salad, Greens, Red Beans and Rice
Jay T.

Wanted some soul food. Researched some places and decided on this establishment. Wasn't too busy. Was able to order food fairly quickly after reading the menu. Not to long of a wait. We got it to go as well. Music was playing in the background. Nice cozy place. We decided on the 5 fish 5 wings with a side of yams, red beans and rice, greens and potato salad. Also the 5 piece fried shrimp and 5 catfish nuggets as well. The fish had a good flavor nice crunch. Shrimp was a little dry. But what do you expect, some things have to be eaten fresh. The wings had a really good flavor. Fried right,not too hard. Out of the sides the yams were the best. Greens had a nice buttery flavor. Red beans and rice need a little salt, you can add that yourself. The potato salad some of the potato's were crunchy. Outside of that. It was a good meal. All that was about $87. Give this place a try if you're in The mood for some soulfood

Ordered two spicy margaritas and the brisket nachos to share. The nachos were tastyyyy! The brisket was tender and juicy and the cheese sauce was more of a béchamel which elevated the flavor. The margaritas were well balanced and SPICY just how we like them. So refreshing. Next time we'll bring our pups to enjoy the outdoor patio since dogs are allowed. I saw the waitress bring water out for the hot puppies sitting with their owners which was so sweet.

The staff shuffled tables together to accommodate our group. Given a two sided menu that listed starters, salads, and mains. Otherwise you scan the QR code to pull up the drink menu which is very extensive. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered to eat- * fish & chips * smoked beef brisket platter * strawberry arugula salad * buttermilk fried chicken sandwich * fish tacos Hubby & I also had draft beers - * he had double IPA that he liked * I had a peanut butter stout - sweet and peanut butter essence. Loved it. Before we began ordering we were informed one check only. No problem. Also 20% automatic gratuity if six or more people stated on the menu. Again no problem. Several of us had leftovers. Boxed to take home. Located in a strip mall where Safeway is the anchor store.

Most likely due to their location, they have a double-pane glass between you and the cashier, and the speaker they use cuts off every other word, so it was hard to place the order. But other than that, the food was amazing, and the order only took 10-15 minutes to come out. My husband and I are Hawaiian food aficionados. We LOVE to find good locations like this. This one in particular still has 2020 prices because you CANNOT get a full meal like this for under $15 anywhere anymore. We ordered the BBQ Mix, all rice, no cabbage. The beef and rib were probably the best I've ever had. The meat was not dry, and the rib was a huge piece. It feels like anywhere else you go, the meat is paper thin. I also ordered the Seafood Mix with chicken, but instead of the teriyaki chicken I requested the katsu chicken. I regretted that decision until the food came out. I thought it would be too much fried food, but once I started eating, it was perfect. My husband loved the katsu, so we traded some katsu for his beef. We had so much food that even after sharing with our 6yo, we still had enough to take home and feed our husky a nice treat. Imagine getting all that food for $14 a plate?! Service was okay, but we didn't interact with her much. It's an order-at-the-window and sit-down kind of place--nothing out of the ordinary in my eyes.
