The service is ways excellent here!!!! The vibe of this place is amazing. The jambalaya and cornbread is so mouth watering it would make you not share it with your one family. But here is the tea!!! I can see where some of the food needs improvement but most restaurants these days are in the same situation. There are items I would not order again but others I love and a person must pick and choose their own individual items based on their preferences. I appreciate the restaurant being in busy and please get your food rating back to Great! Because Fair had me a bit side ways. Has always thank you all for your support and please continue to stay safe and healthy out there! See you at my next bite :0)

Hot Fish House provides a place for all to come eat really good food, in a very welcoming atmosphere, and receive excellent family oriented service while being reminded while you're there, your family too.

We came in to celebrate my daughter's 17th birthday, excited to enjoy some great catfish and…read moresupport a small Black-owned business. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The catfish was paper thin, rubbery, and inedible. The grits were bland and unappetizing. The fried pork chops were greasy & tasted like they had been cooked in old, dirty oil. The banana pudding also did not taste homemade. After spending over $100 and only managing a couple of bites, we decided to request a refund because the food was simply unacceptable. We returned the food, but the store clerks said they couldn't process a refund and were unable to reach the owner. Two days later, the owner contacted us and refused to issue a refund. We truly value supporting small Black-owned businesses, but based on this experience, we will not be returning. Save your time and money.

It's family-owned and operated, and you can truly feel that sense of legacy and love the moment you walk in. The food is absolutely amazing. My husband and I were visiting Washington for the weekend and ended up eating here twice--that's how good it is. The first time, we had the catfish nuggets, fried shrimp, and fried pork chops with collard greens, mac & cheese, and candied yams. Every single bite was on point. The second time, we made it just in time for the oxtail stew--and it was fire. You can genuinely taste the soul in the food. This place is something special. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!

I opted on the cheddar bay biscuit, got my man the cornbread, got the Oreo for my son, Cinnamon Toast Crunch for my daughter, and my niece also got the Oreo. Each one SLAPPED!!!!

They also had a couple humorous signs at the entry that make the place feel very chill and laid back. I'm looking forward to going back.

They use chicken tenders instead of using chicken with bones. The chicken was okay. It was a little dry. We got the original and spicy tenders. There was nothing special about it. Maybe I needed to put some syrup on the chicken? I don't know. The star of the meal was the waffles. The blueberry waffle was nice and sweet. It was good. The southern cornbread waffle was also good with it's buttery taste. Service was good. The guys working there were nice and respectful. Very professional. They only take credit card. No cash. They waffles made it good. I've had better chicken. It's a good place.

This was actually my first time coming in on a Friday evening, and wow... live music, great energy, and the owner making his rounds, chatting with everyone--he's awesome, by the way. You can tell he really cares about the place and the people in it. Safe to say, I'll definitely be making Friday nights a regular thing. Can't wait to be back.

Straight cuts back-to-back. Whoever had control of the music understood the assignment. The atmosphere was chill, welcoming, and just had that cool, laid-back energy. The customer service was amazing as well. The lady at the front greeted us with such great energy that it instantly set the tone for our visit. Now let's get to the food. I had the catfish with collard greens, black-eyed peas and rice, plus white bread. My best friend had cod with mac n yams, red beans and rice, and cornbread. The sides actually came out before the entrée, and we were so hungry that we completely forgot about taking pictures of everything. The food was definitely giving comfort-food energy and was top tier overall. The catfish? Whew, so bomb and full of flavor. Oh and let's not forget the homemade tartar sauce. If I had one small critique, some dishes leaned a little more on the salty side for our preference, but not enough to stop us from coming back. We were actually too full to even try dessert, and now it's officially on our to-do list for the next visit. Overall: good food, good vibes, good music, and great customer service. We'll definitely be back.
