First issue they FORGOT to put my order in and still came out with only my fiancés plate. They should have apologized for the delay and just waited to serve us together! 15-20 minutes later after he is almost finished they brought my dish. They did not suggest I pick from their salad bar to at least kill some time before my dish was ready. I had to ask if it was ok, and they agreed. HOWEVER, as soon as I start to pick through the limited salad bar options of mush and slop that mostly looked very unappealing, I found a HAIR in the food. I showed the waiter the hair, barely had 2 bites and had to have him take the plate! Finally I got my northern chicken cassava dish and the chicken was BLAND AF, the slimy sticky sauce was ok. Thank goodness for the sauce to mask the un marinated bland chicken, rice was cold and beans were worse of all! Absolutely bland beans. We could not wait to leave and to our additional disappointment they did not discount a dime off of our bill!!! The audacity, lack of consideration, and lack of initiative to try to make things right was UNACCEPTABLE!! We had to essentially demand that at minimum they remove ONE of four drinks off our bill. The only good thing I have to say is the margaritas and caipirinha was good. The karaoke singer was horrible and gave us a headache!!!The music playing on TV was good. The steak & chicken dish is 7.5 out of 10, the HAIR, lack of consideration and the disgusting salad bar is a NEGATIVE! Suffice to say, we will NEVER go back. There are too many fantastic restaurants in Newark to bother giving this place a second chance. Não estou feliz!

We liked the ambience and the music - nice for a date night, not too loud and not too soft. The chef Patrick was really hospitable and explained the different dishes to us. The prices were good and we left stuffed. A fantastic experience and I can't wait to come back.

Ordered: Whiting Dinner (~$22): with steak fries & cole slaw…read moreCatfish Dinner (~$23): with mac & cheese and candied yams 6pc Jumbo Shrimp Tray (~$15) Aya's take: Crocket's Fish Fry is a no frills spot serving fresh fried seafood plates. There aren't many places in the area doing this so I'm glad Crockett's exists! We called in our order about 15 minutes in advance which I highly recommend doing. By the time we got there, it was almost ready and considering we were hungry, I'm glad we didn't have to wait much longer. The fish & shrimp were cooked fresh and it shows. To start, the 6pc Jumbo Shrimp for ~$15 is pretty crazy. That's $2.50/shrimp which is high. It tasted good, well-seasoned, and the batter wasn't too thick. The Whiting & Catfish were both super flaky and light. They were lacking salt & pepper and could've been fried harder for me personally. The Whiting had much better flavor but you can't go wrong with both once you add the tartar sauce or hot sauce. Each dinner comes with 2 sides and I particularly liked the steak fries and mac & cheese. They just hit the spot more in a meal like this. The candied yams were more of a dessert and they are definitely heavy-handed with the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and sugar. Good try, and this one meal kept us full all day!

The title of this review is "Looks Can Be Deceiving"…read more I've read tons of reviews on Crocketts and have passed it tons of times and today finally decided to stop in and grab a fish sandwich for lunch. The restaurant is exactly what people have said it is which is an old school fried fish joint! There's definitely a nostalgic feel to it from their cash only policy to the decor , to the counter where you order and to being able to look into the kitchen while you wait. You can also smell the fish frying from outside, which has always been a great sign in my experience. They have their menu on the wall and after I looked at it for a bit I decided to not to go with my fish sandwich but rather with a fried fish dinner because I really wanted to try their collard greens and baked macaroni and cheese in addition to the fried fish. The cost for the dinner was $21.99 which I found to be reasonable specifically because the fish is fried fresh and everyone said the portion sizes are pretty big. After placing my order, I knew I needed to go and feed the meter because in the true fashion of an old school soul food fish fry joint things were going to take a little while before they were ready. It took about 15 minutes for my order to be ready, and as I stated, everything was fresh. The reason that I titled this review "Looks Can Be Deceiving" is because the entire dinner overall looked amazing, however, I feel that the flavors of everything fell short. It's funny because I thought the collard greens looked like they were going to be slamming, and the mac & cheese looked like it was going to be the item that I disliked the most, but truth be told, the greens were what I dislike the most because there was no seasoning .... only vinegar. The mac & cheese had a bit more flavor, but it was dry and lacked on basic seasonings like salt and pepper. The fish while perfectly fried golden brown also was sadly pretty flavorless. And although the portion sizes were exactly what people said, and there was enough for two meals out of one dinner I am more than likely, not even going to want the second portion SMH. There were a lot of people ordering the potato salad though so perhaps that's the side I should've went with in addition to the candy yams ... but I will never know because unfortunately, I won't be back. I still have to thank Crocketts for taking me back with the old school vibe though .... Oh, one last thing, even though it did suffice because as I mentioned, I won't be eating the second portion of this dinner. I had to laugh because they only give you one small container of hot sauce, and one small container of tartar sauce for four large pieces of fish Lol.
