    Had the opportunity to be in the space and try their amazing food during a 60th birthday! This place is a hidden gem off of Lawndale. Plenty of parking. The staff were very nice and welcoming as we came in. They directed us to the event space. The event space was the perfect size for this party with plenty of room to move around and enjoy. The room is beautifully decorated BEFORE any birthday details were added. The food was amazing! We had buffet style and it included two different types of chicken, three sides and salad. No complaints because it was all outstanding! The owner even came over to make sure all was going well, which is always a nice touch.

    2 Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
    Zay M.

    I arrived right at 1pm on a Sunday afternoon to get brunch with a friend. There were other people walking up as I was. Checking in was a little unorganized, in my opinion. A dedicated host wasn't apparent, which is interesting considering they just opened for the day. I was sat at 1:07pm while waiting for my friend to arrive. Faith, our waitress, came over at 1:09pm, and I ordered 2 waters, but she only brought one. Faith did bring my friends a drink when she saw they had arrived. We ordered at 1:22pm. I got 2 cheesesteak egg rolls as an appetizer. I got the 3 whole wings with cabbage and mashed potatoes as a side. I also got aunt e's spiked punch. In my opinion, the "spiked" part of the punch was missing... The alcoholic beverage came 10 mins later at 1:32pm. Faith brought dinner rolls at 1:34pm The egg rolls came at 1:36pm. They were DELICIOUS! I would return just for these, honestly. This was the highlight of the whole experience. My entree came at 1:52pm and my friend's food came a minute later. The chicken was just okay. It wasn't crispy as I expected it to me and lacked flavor. The cabbage and mashed potatoes were fine. The appetizer was wonderful but the entree and drink was more disappointing than anything. I would return to try something else. The seating did seem cluttered and close as well.

    We came for the $2 Wings special and everything tasted amazing! The food came out fast too we wasn't there for long at all because of the quick service.

    The food here is excellent, I highly recommend going here. I got the lamb chops with Jollof rice with a side of mac & cheese and loaded mash potatoes. Let me say everything is flavorful & delicious. My friends got wings, shrimp, sweet potato mash, chessesteak egg rolls, cabbage, among other foods and we all loved it. The manager Rory provided excellent service, she is a gem. I do wish I had more lamb chops for the price point. But head there and try for yourself.

    Bourbon Salmon with Asparagus and Aunt E's Famous Mac

    I can't say enough great things about this place. The food, staff, ambiance was delightful. The salmon was the best I've ever had and I still dream about it I was passing through town by myself and decided to dine in and they made me feel right at home. I wouldn't pass this up!

    Fried catfish, mac and cheese, cabbage and sweet potato casserole
    Tasa B.

    Stopped here this past Sunday on our way back to Richmond after seeing Chris Brown and Usher in Charlotte. Found reviews on Tik Tok and decided to give it a try. So glad we did. Let me start by saying I am a very harsh food critic lol. I ordered the catfish with cabbage and macaroni and cheese and an extra side of sweet potato casserole. $25 for dinner plus $4 for the extra side... kind of high but the portion sizes were really good. I asked for the fish to be fried extra crispy and it came out perfectly seasoned and fried. The mac and cheese was good. There was a nice mix of cheeses and seasoned well. The cabbage was the star of the plate! It was seasoned turkey smoked sausage with red and green bell peppers and onions... so good. The flavors of sweet potato casserole were on point but I don't like the baby food texture... I prefer candied yams. I can't fault them for this because I knew what I was getting. The only thing I can critique food wise is they don't seve cornbread. Instead they gave us 2 hawaiian rolls when we were seated. I find that strange for a soul food restaurant. My friend got the 3 whole wings with the same sides as me and said they were good. She also got a rum punch from the bar that was nice and strong. Service was friendly and the food came out hot and didn't take too long. Overall, we were very pleased with Aunt E's. If I'm in the area again I will definitely be stopping by.

    Fried Shrimp Basket
    Simone L.

    Idk if Aunt E was actually in the kitchen or if she left her people the recipes either way the food was chefs kiss! We had the appetizer sampler with jerk rolls which were full of flavor and don't even need the sauce! The cheesesteak rolls are also good, beef patties were okay(if they let you I would replace them with rolls of mozzarella sticks) and the mozzarella sticks had the perfect pull! I ordered the shrimp basket with a side of sweet heat sauce and fries with a side of green beans!! Everything came out hot and fresh! The shrimp were large and tasty! Fries were good but the green beans were so I good I could have eaten a whole bowl! Hubby had the wings which he said were crispy and good! He also had a side of Mac and cheese which was okay but not my fav and the sweet potato casserole which was amazing! We sat at the bar and Faith was our server she was great and stayed on top of everything and gave great recommendations! The vibe was chill and had great music!! Yes they give you plastic wear and plastic cups but it was fine with me cause silverware/glasses don't get cleaned properly any way! We will be back next time we are in Greensboro!!

    Sides Garlic Green Bean and Cabbage with Sausage
    Danita W.

    Visited here when in Greensboro for an Convocation. It was recommended to me to visit and to try the fried fish. Instead I ordered the oxtail dinner with jollof rice, and cabbage. The cabbage had a burnt taste, so I asked for macaroni and cheese which was good. The oxtails were good but have a lot of salt in the jerk sauce. The chicken wings and jerk chicken egg rolls were awesome! The experience was good and recommend if love soul food.

    I had a taste for southern fare, specifically mac&cheese and some type of vegetable. We found this place after a basic web search and it had good reviews. We arrived right when it opened and were a little confused where to go as no one was there to welcome us. It is a big place as one half is an event space and the other is a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. We were greeted by a waitress, who walked us to one of the dining areas near the bar. She was nice, took our drink order, and told us that she would bring some bread with our drinks. While we waited for the drinks, my wife went to the bathroom. Now, remember, we arrived right when it opened. Sadly, the restrooms were dirty. While we did see someone come clean it later, we were unimpressed that it was not clean from the beginning. Now, the food was pretty good. The bread was warm and reminded me of dinner rolls that you would buy when you wanted to impress your guest for a gathering. I ordered the bourbon salmon with mac&cheese and green beans. It was plated nicely as the salmon rested on a bed of rice. Yet, I wish the green beans were in a bigger bowl or simply placed on the main plate. The salmon was cooked pretty good. Yet, the bourbon glazed appeared to be placed on afterwards as it was very sticky so much so that I had to repeated rub my teeth. With all of that said, I think it could be a great experience after they work out some issues.

    Menu

    First time at this restaurant. Ordered Bourbon Salmon, loaded mashed potatoes and cabbage. Salmon was tasty, although as you can see in the picture , cooked a little too long. Potatoes seem store bought, came out 3min after meal. Cabbage could have had a little more seasoning. Maybe sitting all day as it was late when I arrived, 8:30pm. Drink was mediocre.... Service was awesome!! After 5pm gratuity is added to the bill I would return to try another entree if in the area. 3.5 star, rounded up

The fish was so flaky and the breading was the perfect about of crispiness. The collard greens were cooked well but were a little bland. Wish it also included a protein or something in it. The mac and cheese tasted a lot better than it looked. It was wasn't great but it was kind of what you'd expect of a fast casual spot. I really liked all the lemonade flavors they had.

We ordered drinks and an appetizer and they came out fairly quickly. The Korean BBQ Spring Rolls are very good! Now for the not so good part. We ordered the fish and chips to split- that was all we ordered after the appetizer and it took forever for our order to be brought to the table. We watched a couple tables around us, get their food before us, and they had been seated after us.. The server had to go back and check on our dish a couple times before it finally came out. I will say the fish and the chips were fabulous, but the corn was terrible and should probably not even be included on the dish. It was WAY overcooked and chewy. The coleslaw left quite a bit to be desired as well. No seasoning, no flavor and was just bland. When it says wasabi coleslaw, I am thinking it is going to have a little bit of a kick to it but nothing. They could definitely save themselves some money by eliminating the corn from this dish, make the coleslaw an option as an up charge and could lower the price on the dish in general or add a third piece of fish instead of the corn and coleslaw. Overall, it's definitely the best fish and chips we've had since moving to the area, but I would order it with no corn or coleslaw next time.

We started out with cocktails. I had a Hendricks dry martini straight up (it was delicious) and my wife had a Don't Call Me Sweetie which is mix of Hendrick's Gin, Lemon, Cucumber, Basil, Simple, Saline 15. It is very citrus heavy, so be advised. She had them cut it with a bit of cranberry to offset the citrus. For main courses, my wife had the grilled salmon and she chose sautéed garlic spinach and wasabi slaw as her sides. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my side was blackened green beans. Let's talk main course first. My wife's salmon was terrific. Flaky and moist and very tasty. My shrimp and grits was unique because it was a real balance between large pieces of shrimp and the grits. Many times you'll order this dish and end up with a pile of grits with some shrimp sprinkled on top. This version is very tasty and a really nice balance of flavors. The Cajun seasonings have it some kick, but it did not overpower. The side dishes are where we had a couple of surprises. First off the sautéed spinach was really delicious, but my wife's wasabi slaw was bland. It's a huge shocker because when you see the word wasabi, you expected to have some Asian kick to it. This did not. It was hard to even identify that it had wasabi in it. That was a disappointment. The surprise was the blackened green beans. They actually were one of the stars of the show. Their flavor and texture was just awesome. We could've ordered a huge bowl of it and eaten all of it. While it didn't need it, there was a dipping aïoli on the side, just in case we wanted to add that to the green bean experience. As I mentioned off the start, Fishbones is a very casual experience. It's very pub-like in that way. We really loved it and the wait staff, which is a team approach as anyone who passes you makes sure you're doing OK, were kind, upbeat and helpful. Even with the bland slaw, we can't lower our rating because overall the experience was terrific. We will definitely come back.

They have a large menu that features Cajun seafood (more expensive), pasta with chicken or shrimp and you can pick your sauce, Japanese hibachi, and a few Chinese dishes. They also offer a large bubble tea menu. Like I said, a wide array of choices. You order at the counter and then get your drink cup and pick a table. They bring your food out to you in takeout boxes, which is actually quite convenient because of the large portion sizes. The woman who works the counter is very busy but nice if you can have more than a few seconds with her. She always answers questions well and is quick to bring extra sauces if needed. They do a heavy takeout business so poor thing is always swamped but she handles it well. I can't speak for the Cajun seafood but plan to get it to take home to my family one day. It's just too much for a work lunch. The hibachi menu is extensive and features more than your average chicken, shrimp, and steak. They have scallops, tilapia, and salmon. So good!
