    Lobster Tails
    Erickita S.

    This place truely deserves an award. The food is amazing here. BOGO specials are everything here. You get good value for your money for sure. The ambiance is lots of music and a large crowd of hungry people and impatient uber/seamless people picking up food for delivery. It is what it is. This is a takeout place so if you want to try it pick up to go home or do delivery only! If you are picking it up understand that there will be a large crowd of people waiting because the food is really that good. I would wait on this line 100x over to eat the food that's how good it is. The sides are flavorful and the meals are wonderful. I highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for seafood and have some patience to deal with a crowd. Crab legs were good, sides are soulful. Mac and cheese and collard greens are great. The lobster is good as well. The catfish is amazing. Yams are so good. Rice and peas are everything. Great place to try there is a reason they have 5 locations! Don't let the stars fool you. Thanks Bed Stuy Fish Fry for being you!

    Crab Cakes
    Jany R.

    Here's an update on yet another BOGO deal. I ordered their crab cakes like I said I would. I'm going to leave ALL my thoughts and hopefully their management sees them, along with other reviews that mimic the same sentiments-- and maybe they'll make improvements. I like to start with "cons" just so I can end on a positive note. The one major complaint I've seen across the board is the lack of consistency. Not only do I agree but it also goes hand in hand with one of my biggest complaints which is the overall lack of customer service and it puts a damper on everything else. Sometimes, you get a platter that looks and tastes really good. Other days, you might get a platter with raw baked chicken (true story). Then there are days where the food looks crazy but tastes amazing. I don't blame the employees entirely because they're not training themselves. Ever since they implemented the BOGO deals on Ubereats, their wait times have almost tripled & their prices have raised--while the quality of their food/experience hasn't improved. It's very obvious that they cant keep up with the volume of orders AND do so in a timely manner, while maintaining a certain level of integrity with the food theyre serving. The last two times I ordered, my delivery drivers were waiting over 30 minutes for my food. They literally get packed with food couriers, there are videos that show how crazy it gets. You can't help but feel bad for the workers. This is why I lowkey hoped that with their new success, they wouldn't just open a bunch of random locations in other boroughs but actually expand and improve the locations they already had here. I'll be very honest about the fact that I LOATHE eating $30+ meals in plastic cafeteria containers. It gives cheap and lazy. Why not invest in better plating options? Seating? More space? I mean, cmon. Clearly, they have someone coming up with recipes/ideas that could actually compete against actual fine dining restaurants and it just feels like they're not only selling themselves short, but their patrons as well. I get that it's easier to keep things low maintenance/casual but I just know that they would do a lot better if they revamped their most popular locations to be a tad more upscale. Idk about yall, but I would for sure love a refined BSFF with dine-in options. The crab cakes were really good, but lord-- the presentation of both platters was terrible. You eat with your eyes first, everyone knows this! The platter pictured was actually the better of the two because the other (with Mac and collard greens) was a mess. The BOGO makes it easier to tolerate because imagine paying $40 for a plate this messy? & remember what I said earlier about consistency? If you go on their IG, the crab cakes in those videos are huge and uniform. Mine were ALL different sizes. Some pictures on here show them burnt. Not okay. It was the same issue with the crab stuffed salmon a few weeks ago. One had more stuffing than the other & it was obvious. They should be weighing them out, but when they're up to their necks in orders & need to pump food out, they're not paying attention to stuff like that. The flavor though? ON POINT. Barely any filler, FULL of delectable lump crab. Not too salty, just right. Very similar to Maryland style crab cakes. Sides? No complaints. This is why I have such a love/hate relationship with them. I just want them to do better, the community is going to support regardless. Slow down on the amount of orders you accept, give your employees time to care about what they're doing, quality control is needed! The food is too good to be playing games like this.

    Fried blackened shrimp Collard greens and potato salad
    Sharon T.

    Collard greens on point! Fried shrimp with blackened seasoning. Arrived hot and fresh!

    Rasta (Onion) pasta .... I would think the onion should be Julien so you barely taste but you know it's there.

    I can say the workers do their best with what's given. The food keeps flowing but the dashers is overwhelming at times. But the food can be done better at times and the containers can be stronger. Big up to the workers will not bash you guys at all. I keep coming here for a reason but there is room for improvement ( owners )

    Literally was charged this amount and if they didnt give me my receipt uber eats wouldve said I got the discounted price.
    Anessa O.

    I dont know how the scam works but just letting you know purchase this establishments buy 1 get 1 free through uber eats- the calculations will literally add up to you paying for your food twice . Over all the food is good . At least the proteins are Z the sides always need something whether its seasoning or salt or water (sometimes that salt hand is way too heavy) They do however give great portions so I dont mind paying the prices they charge - I just know Im gonna have to schuz it up at home. I usually stick to American cuisine when I eat here because honestly I never like the way the oxtails or curry looks . No other complaints besides the way they charge for "specials" when there's literally no special lol . Here are some pics !

    Collared Greens Candied Yams Whiting

    The mobile bike delivery guys hovering at the front of the counter is annoying. I wish they had a better system for them to pick up and separate the walk in customers from them. You have to ask them to move so you can see the food display. My fish was cooked to order so it took about 20 minutes. The servers were nice and accommodating. They have a buy 1 meal get 1 feee special that can't be beat. The food is a solid 4/5. The fish is seasoned and fried crunchy to perfection. The mac & cheese was a little dry but it was seasoned well, the collard greens were too sweet and I don't like sugary greens. The candied yams were good. They use a soft broken up cake or biscuits as a crust instead of pie crust for the peach cobbler. The serving I got was mostly of that cake/biscuit mixture and hardly any peaches. 0/5 would not recommend. The cakes on display looked good so I played myself getting that nasty peach cobbler The serving portion was huge and enough to share. I'll be back whenever I craved fried fish.

    Shrimp dinner

    I am giving two stars because I usually have a good experience besides wait time. Today I ordered two shrimp dinners and when I bit into the shrimp it was a fishy taste. The shrimp were not fresh at all ...had to trash it vs risk getting sick.

    Horrible Service

    I placed my order at 1248 and it was not ready til 138 they also marked it picked up as soon as I ordered it so I couldn't cancel it 2 fish dinners 2 chicken sandwiches and lobster Mac does not take 50 minutes to prepare then I ask to talk to a manager I get attitude from the workers like I'm in the wrong I should of looked at the reviews prior to ordering from this location

    Hard tiny baby shrimp for big juicy shrimp prices.
    Ife M.

    Now I remember why I STOPPED MESSING WITH THESE JOKERS. $21 for tiny hard fried shrimp, sub par Mac and perfume-y yams. Not buttery and sweet like they used to be. I had them OFF my list for a reason. Trying to do no meat. So I decided why not. Welp. That's what I get.

The correct location is 1140 Utica Ave, Brooklyn, NY, the day we went it was at a designated pickup locker where your food is stored. This confusion added an extra 30 minutes to my trip. Wait Time & Ordering Experience The kiosk estimated a wait time of 6-16 minutes, but we ended up waiting around 40 minutes for our order. That was upsetting. What We Ordered Mains: Fried Chicken, Honey Glazed Salmon, Catfish Sides: Blueberry Cornbread, Candied Coconut Yams, Mac & Cheese Food Quality Catfish: Easily the standout of the meal. Perfectly cooked, an easy 10/10. Fried Chicken: A major letdown. It was dry and under-seasoned, tasting mostly of salt. Honey Glazed Salmon: Unfortunately, there was no noticeable glaze and the fish was also dry. Sides Candied Coconut Yams & Mac and Cheese: Both were delicious and classic comfort food done right. Blueberry Cornbread: Tasted more like a blueberry muffin. While not bad on its own, it didn't complement the savory items well. Value & Final Thoughts Combo platters (1 main + 2 sides) run about $20-$24. For that price and the long wait time (40-45 minutes), I expected a bit more consistency. The catfish and sides were worth the trip, but the other mains left much to be desired. Pros: Halal soul food is a great concept and rare to find. Cons: The chicken and salmon. Would I return? Possibly for the catfish. But considering catfish is halal almost anywhere, and the other mains didn't deliver. Wonderful concept!

As I'm heading to the restaurant from NJ, I realized I received a missed call from them @ 4:07pm. I called them back. They are asking me to push my reservation back to 5:30pm because their brunch went over. It would take their kitchen time to switch over to the dinner portion. Idk about you but that doesn't sound like a "me" problem, especially when I booked in advance. For the first 30 mins, I was just going to order drinks and some apps anyways. I told the rep on the phone that I'd like to keep my reservation for the same time. She said see you then. I arrive @ 4:52pm and the music is loud. So loud that people were yelling to speak to each other. It doesn't look like a regular brunch session but an event as there were decorations everywhere. The hostess comes to speak to me and she says "yeah, like I mentioned on the phone, we're still switching over so we'd have to push you back to 5:10/5:15". I looked around and it didn't look like anything was even in the process of getting switched over. It was still packed with people, taking photos, sitting down and eating. I said okay. She said they would call me when they were ready. I walked out and went to another restaurant. I'm not about to waste my time waiting here when another establishment with good customer service is willing to seat and feed me. And guess what? I never did receive that callback. Figures. So everyone saying make a reservation, it clearly doesn't matter if one is made or not. They don't respect others' time. It's businesses like this that make it harder for other black owned businesses. Advice to the business owner: if your brunches are that packed and crazy, consider placing a cap on the table time. You'll earn respect, earn more money and have continuous reach from setting expectations early on rather than having a free for all. They will never get my business and I would never recommend. First impressions are everlasting.
