    the interior of a fast food restaurant
    Au'Jah W.

    I love to support small businesses when traveling, especially black owned restaurants. My family took me to try 42 Fry and I'm so glad they did! The shrimp and fried whiting were both flavorful and fried perfectly! We actually ordered more shrimp after we devoured the first batch. My favorite portion of our meal were the hush puppies! They had so much flavor and came with a side of what I believe to be a cinnamon sugar butter for dipping. That was my first time ever having that as a side to hush puppies. So I thought it was quite innovative. The only caveat is they weren't hot, which made me question whether they were fresh. Nonetheless we still enjoyed them. Overall, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. We just felt the restaurant could be a bit cleaner.

    I give this place 5 stars on any day except today. I ordered online, just like I always do, 2 shrimp tacos with a side & drink, and 2 Tuesday special fish tacos. I come to pick my food up but the bag Is light . Checks order and i have half (just 1 of each taco) of what I paid for. The cashier was very friendly and helpful in trying to convince the cook how my order was wrong. He remade it but was out of lettuce (he made the first set beautifully but used all that was left for for the day). I get it, I came close to closing, you're tired... but I still paid full price. He remakes the order once and the cashier informs him how it's still wrong. Looking at the ticket I can see how someone would make the mistake. She has him redo it and clearly his frustration showed in the presentation. I had less fish and shrimp than I did in my first plate with half the tacos and it looked like someone had just thrown a piece of fish and some shrimp in a taco with no love or care that's usually put into their food. At this point it wasn't worth arguing because clearly this cook didn't value his restaurant's patrons. I asked for the butter than came with my hush puppies because he forgot that too and proceeded to get an attitude with the cashier. I hate I had to leave this review because I really love this place and their food. I am going back to continue eating there, but I just hope a more patient cook is preparing my food. If i could give everything about this place 5 stars and just 1 to that angry cook I would but instead I'm leaving a 3 star review. I was very tempted to drop the 1 but I don't want to slander a place I enjoy so much because 1 employee was having an off day

    The team at 42 Fry in Greenville NC helped me cater a birthday party (Oct 2022). We ordered pans of fish (whiting), shrimp, hush puppies, fries and collards. At pickup the service was great and on time. Once served at the party, my family and friends were happy to receive this food. Many asked about the establishment, as they were from other cities and towns. Everything was great and I look forward to experiencing their food and service again!!!! 5 stars!!!

    I can't say I enjoyed my most recent visit to 42 Fry. I try to stop in whenever I'm in the area. This trip, my fish just wasn't hittin' - it was a bit dry/overly fried, the "fried" shrimp was stale with no breading. At least my fries were good. I'm not sure if the fact that I went on a weekday had anything to do with it (different cooks from the weekend maybe ), but I was a bit disappointed. When you set your mind on hot fish and it disappoints... I was sad.

    Good fish and shrimp!

    Seriously one of the best fish fry spots in the area. Service is always quick and prices are fair.

    Trout, catfish and okra was really good. The green beans were a tad bit greasy and not for me.

    We were new in town and stumbled on 42 Fry. The wait was reasonable and the food was well worth it. We will return during next visit.

    Food: honestly, the food had started going down hill, which is why I rarely came anymore. However,…read moreit was good last week when I came with my nephew and great today! Best crab legs I've probably had! Taste and flavor: I got the garlic butter, medium, it was delicious and flavorful & I will definitely get it with the lil kick in the future. I used to always get mild. Freshness of ingredients: hubs says the crawfish are super fresh & best he's had. Crab legs and shrimp (head off) were great. Portion sizes: always just a tiny bit too much or you'll feel like you're gonna bust wide open... But at least you get to eat whatever tastes the best to you. I left a potato and a half. (lol) Presentation: it looks cool when it comes out marinating in your chosen sauce in a bag. My bag had a hole in it, though, so I ended up with butter on my shirt Menu variety: not an absolute ridiculously huge variety but there are several options seafood and non Service: Typically leaves a lil to be desired. Granted, if you get a meal it typically all comes together so all you'll need are drink refills and maybe salt or pepper. But, I get a lil antsy when my food is getting cold & I'm waiting for drink. Attentiveness of staff: see above Friendliness and courtesy: Everyone is typically polite but no one seems to go out of their way to make you feel special or anything. C'est la vie. Knowledge of the menu: I didn't ask any questions... So Idk? Speed of service: great! Food came out super quick & was delicious Ambiance: it's pretty cool, I guess Atmosphere and decor: I dig the decor & it follows a nautical theme Noise level: average Lighting: not so good, honestly. I'm fairly sure in a few years I'll be stuck using my phone flashlight to light the menu Price: kinda expensive, but worth it - unless you're getting all you can eat, then moderately expensive, maybe or maybe not worth it, depending on how much you can eat... Value for money: pretty decent, I mean it is a lot of food Price point relative to quality: lines up imo Cleanliness of the restaurant: always seems clean Accessibility: easily accessible Location: easy to get to, sometimes hard to turn left out of, but relatively a good locale

We were seated and immediately ignored. I noticed that several of the tables surrounding us had not been cleaned well as ours had not. It was a good 10 minutes before someone noticed our table and asked if we were ok. We had no drinks or anything so my husband told him that no one had come to take our drink order. So the guy apologized profusely and a few minutes later we had drinks and some hush puppies and we gave our order... and we waited and waited and waited literally more than 30 minutes. Eventually the same guy appeared and told us that they had just started on our order because the kitchen had been busy with an unusually large takeout order. A while later someone came out with food but it wasn't what we'd ordered so they took it back to the kitchen and started over. The guy came out and again apologized profusely and promised us a huge discount and free desserts after the meal. FINALLY part of what we ordered arrived and we decided to just try to eat and get outta there. The food we got was terrible. My flounder tasted like the oil it had been cooked in and their usual slaw tasted heavily salted. It was very bad. We were given a discount on the food but not the drinks and were not charged for the food we ordered but were not served. The desserts that had been offered we passed on just to get outta there... Still what we paid was FAR too dear for what we ate. I know the quality of Mayflower has diminished since we've been occasionally frequenting it over the past 30 years but this was the last time we will EVER try it again.
