I ordered a seafood platter for delivery. It was buy one get one free which was a good deal. The crab legs , corn, and potatoes were good, but I found the shrimp and lobster to be overcooked and chewy. They were also a bit on the salty side. This was my first time trying their food based on my coworker's recommendation. Next time I will try their fried seafood and compare. read more

Bed Stuy Fish Fry - Seafood Platter - Seafood Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

In the words of Porsha Williams on RHOA, "you can't eat everybody deviled eggs" and so here's your warning... "you can't eat everybody soul food!" This southern kid was deeply disappointed by "the best soul food in Brooklyn." And while the reviews below mine state some of the same accuracy, I went against my better judgement. Let's get into it... they offer a buy one get one deal in Uber and the staff will suggest it to you, which is honestly a good deal. I did not get names but the younger fair skin lady with glasses was the most helpful and another older lady who was probably an owner/partner/manager. There was another younger woman around with braids and glasses that needed a little more customer service training. Her name may be Sharisse or something like that. Food wise.... I had the oxtail cheesesteak. Like other reviews, the fat needs to be trimmed more but they are quite tender. However, I doubt I try it again. For the sides, I was able to taste the Mac and cheese, candied yams, black eyed peas, and greens. That's the order in which the taste is decent. The Mac isn't quite a creamy Mac, it's definitely baked which is cool. The yams were good, just heavily sugared. The black eyed peas were okay but they were lukewarm. And the greens were a miss, I prefer a bit more heat/spice on mine and these had bitter and sweet mixed together. Lastly, I tried the banana pudding and the kool aid. Kool aid was like church punch if that's your thing and the banana pudding was thick. I'm a dessert guy and I maybe only ate a third of it. Overall, it's clean and chill. But it's definitely take out as there is no seating available. read more

I stopped by to try their lobster bisque soup and the soup is very flavorful. However I wish I would have received more lobster in the soup than 3 pieces and more vegetables for 14.95 + tax. While I was waiting I decided to get a whiting fish sandwich and love that the sandwich comes with whole wheat bread. The sandwich was good and you receive 3 pieces of fish. read more

Food packaging is very poor that cause food to spill during delivery. Uber delivery guys are horrible. They take absolutely no care I'm transporting your food . They treat your food as if it's garbage they were handling. Very dissatisfied and will probably never use this service especially at this location again. read more

OMG!! I arrived in Manhattan from Cancun and was starving for Soul food. My Foodie friend recommended Bed Stuy Fish Fry in Brooklyn. I hopped on the train to their downtown Brooklyn location and was surprised they didn't have sit down dining. No worries though I was told there was a special through Uber, buy one meal get one free. You know I love a deal. I ordered Oxtails w/rice & peas and collard greens. But wait there's more I was able to order Baked Mac & cheese with Candied Yams all for the price of one meal. The oxtails were tender, Baked Mac & cheese was cheesy, greens were not cooked with pork and were delicious. I had enough food for 3 days!! I definitely will return to Bed Stuy Fish Fry when I return to NYC. Sorry I wasted no time on the Oxtails and forgot to take a picture read more

This Bed-Stuy Fish Fry is the best of the bunch in my opinion. Go when it first opens. Food is super hot, well seasoned and delicious. This is a business district and I believe the chefs here go the extra mile with their food preparation to serve the famished City Employees. The staff is almost pleasant, might I say, nearly nice. Today I ordered pickup online- a BOGO order of salmon and shrimp bites over fried rice. I got there early and I was tempted to add to my order because all the dishes looked sooo good. I ended up getting an order of the crab cakes. These crab cakes are perfectly made with REAL lump crab meat and they're big! I could eat here for lunch every day. Looks like take out only for now. Good stuff! read more

This review is strictly based on the customer service--what's unfortunate is that the food itself is good and worth 5 stars. On Friday, I was having my family over and they wanted to try Bed Stuy Fish Fry. In total, we placed 5 orders along with desserts, costing roughly $160. I ordered my food and went to pick it up. Upon walking in, there was one person also waiting and two delivery guys. I waited about 10 minutes before asking if someone would be assisting with pick-up orders because no one had acknowledged any of us since I walked in. There were three workers--one literally looked me in the face while the other two kept their heads down preparing food. I then said, "One of the workers literally looked in my face, but no one is going to answer?" The disrespect and unprofessionalism were out of this world. A simple "We'll be right with you" goes a long way. About 2-3 minutes later, someone finally walked over and handed me my order, which had already been ready. A worker did apologize, but I honestly don't know if it was for the rudeness displayed or because I had to choose another dessert since they didn't have the one I originally ordered. While waiting for my ride, I saw three ladies walk in. About five minutes later, they walked out, and one of them said, "They really have a nasty attitude." Smh. I was with my mother, and she went inside as well--she heard that same comment about the bad attitude, and we had our own poor customer service experience. My mother also mentioned that when she approached the register, the person barely spoke. As I said at the beginning of this review, the food is really good--we even tried a new dessert, the "sweet potato cornbread," which was delicious. However, the customer service truly needs improvement. A simple "hello," acknowledging customers waiting, and saying "thank you" makes all the difference. I really hope they can get better in the future. read more

Ordered the oxtail plate to-go. It comes with two sides and I got the rice & peas and cabbage. The oxtail plate came with 4 pieces of oxtail, but they were big and had a lot of meat on them. I would like that the fat was more trimmed on the tails. The gravy had a great flavor! I would have wanted some gravy on the rice. The cabbage cooked perfectly (not too soft). I enjoyed the meal and would definitely eat it again. I also tried the greens on my hubbie's plate and those were really good. I actually liked the collard greens more than the cabbage, but can't go wrong with either. read more

Bed Stuy Fish Fry - Oxtail Platter - Seafood Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

PROS: service was great-wonderful attentive team, easy location to get to; salmon was light/medium seasoned which was perfect, mac/cheese wasn't overly cheesy & you could taste the black pepper, it was good as was the spinach. The star of the show was the "old fashioned" banana pudding. It was the best tasting item. It wasn't just "pudding" with vanilla wafers. It seems as though it was combined cake & pudding. I loved it! It was true old fashioned banana pudding. CONS (kinda): some of the food items were barely hot, chicken tasted satisfactory (would have been better if hot). The black-eyed peas were so-so, it seems as though they had a touch of sugar (threw the taste off). The sweet potato cornbread... great concept but it was too sweet. It has small chunks of sweet potato & corn kernels. Overall, good restaurant. I'd go back but some items I probably wouldn't get again. read more

Absolutely delicious food! I've been here a few times over the course of the past couple of months. There's so many great options to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed the salmon, oxtail, crab cakes, fried shrimp, and whiting for entrée items. As far as the sides are concerned, I've indulged in the candied yams, cabbage, mac and cheese, potatoe salad, macaroni salad, and mashed potatoes. Even the blue velvet cake was incredible. Can't wait to come back here for the salmon, shrimp, and wings for entrées. It's important to be patient when ordering here due to short staff. Also, note that you're likely to spend a minimum of $20 when coming to eat here. This is a takeout restaurant, do not expect to come here and dine in; that's not an option. read more

I don't understand why restaurants feel it is okay to serve people anything and the customer is just suppose to accept what they are served. If you are going to serve customers fish then please have the decency to serve the fish fresh and hot not some fish you cooked 3 hours ago and have it sitting under a heated lamp. Contrary to what you may believe fish fries out and that means it is hard and not edible. This is not the first time I had issues with this location. read more

Bed Stuy Fish Fry - Hard, dry, Fish, Not Edible At All - Seafood Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The food and service were excellent- especially the fried whiting and the candied sweet potato's which were flavored perfectly. The portions are more than sufficient for the price Ambiance - I won't rate as this location is 100% takeout which was unexpected. Luckily I was able to take a cab to my home to eat while the food was warm. It was a bit inconvenient for 2 senior citizens looking to sit down for an afternoon lunch. read more

Take a journey with me. I'm on my deathbed at the end of a long, happy life. One of my many loving grandchildren asks "nana, do you have any regrets?" Memories flash behind my eyelids. Things I wanted to say but couldn't find the courage to. Risks I didn't take that might have worked out. People I put my trust in who failed me. But one thing stood above all else as my biggest regret: eating at bedstuy fish fry. I GOT THE WORST FOOD POISONING AND LEGIT NEEDED TO GO TO URGENT CARE FOR AN IV DRIP BECAUSE I WAS SO SEVERELY DEHYDRATED FROM VOMMITTING EVERY 20 MINUTES OVER THE COURSE OF 7 HOURS. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!!! read more

I was walking by and smelled the delicious seafood. I walked into a very clean and brightly lid restaurant. In terms of seafood, they mostly offered salmon. A salmon plate - a sizable piece with two sides is $35 and fried catfish plate - two pieces with two sides is $16. I echo everyone here who has said it's overpriced. It doesn't help that they don't have a menu with prices anywhere in the store. I got the crab cake plate - two cakes with two sides. The crab cake fit completely into a wide spoon. They were real lumps of crab meats. After tax and cash discount charge, it was a bit over $30. read more

The staff are a bunch of miserable nasty disgusting people. no reason the customer should be treated like we don't matter. Us supporting your business keeps you in your job. especially the old lady who clearly is post menopause, so what is her real issue? Can't even focus on the food.........such a bad experience in just trying to order i was turned off and I spent $28 on my dinner. Not saying $28 is a ton of money, but it's my $28 funky dollars! Never again. read more

Yeah mama I'm coming here whenever I want a GOOD meal. Everything I've ever ordered has been fire. The jerk chicken and yams are on top. Only downside is feel like it's never really hot hot even when I just order it. I feel so bad for the workers with all of delivery drivers constantly shoving phones in their face so be nice to them In there. read more

Bed Stuy Fish Fry - Soul food - Seafood Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ordered from here recently due to my coworkers raving about this location. Upon arrival, the bag was sealed fine tight and there wasn't any spillage and the condiments I requested were inside. I ordered Grilled Salmon on Fettuccine. Now for my thoughts on the food. I was craving this all day and I immediately dived in. The portion size is a bit smaller size than what I envisioned. The food was pretty decent. The salmon was a bit dry and the flavors didn't stick out too much to me. The pasta was pretty good to me. The noodles were cooked fine and weren't chewy. I was a bit disappointed. Perhaps I got it on a bad day, I'm not too sure. If the portions were increased and the Salmon preparation changed; this dish would've been bomb! read more

Do yourself a favor and please go here! The food is always so fresh and so flavorful. The chicken is cooked perfectly; moist and juicy! Genuine soul food that makes you feel all good and warm inside, comforting! The side items are OMG good, they all taste homemade. I honestly cannot say enough great things about their food. Nicely sized portions too. Some of the best Mac and Cheese I've ever tasted. I have only ordered delivery so not to familiar with the service but I have heard great things. BOGO meals on Uber eats! Great location if you are working or shopping in Downtown BK. You will not be disappointed. read more

I must say this is the best Bed-Stuy Fish Fry location, but they do have some hits and misses. My rating is really 3 1/2 stars, but what they're good at is always good so I gave the 4 stars. Thanks to UberEats I able to enjoy their food and the great deals. I've tried to get different varieties of food off the menu, but I think I'll stick to what I know and stop exploring. My favorites are: the salmon (blackened and grilled), turkey meatloaf, salmon cakes, crab cakes (so full of lump crab no fillers) shrimp (any style) and catfish fritters Favorite sides: mashed potatoes (they are always consistently good), candied yams, cabbage, rice and peas and sautéed spinach. Dessert: Blue Velvet Cake My not so favorites: baked chicken ‍ (the palest unseasoned dry chicken); stir fry potatoes ( not sure how to describe it, but it's not what I expected). Asparagus was cut up and over cooked. The lemon cake came warm because they put it directly on my hot food, my frosting was melted and it was super sweet and the cake was not moist it had a weird consistency. All in all I love this place, I just know to stick to what I like and not venture to far from that. read more

Customer service was lacking, they did not want to honor my colleagues two for one deal they were advertising in the restaurant. read more

I have come to this location to order food on plenty of occasions and I have never experienced the level of horrible customer service as I have tonight. They were backed up on 23 orders because they were waiting on Mac-n-cheese. I waited patiently to order. Another customer came in saw me waiting and politely asked if I ordered. I said no. the server comes over and asks her what she would like to order. the lady behind me says to her he hasn't ordered yet. the server says to her "that's not what I asked you". I will NEVER step foot or spend a penny in this establishment again. that is NOT the way you do business and your staff needs to be trained properly on how customer service should be done. read more

I went after work (6/26 around 5pm- cause I wanna shout of the women on staff at that time) and here's what you need to know: Food: 10/10 Everything was hot, fresh and flavorful. Not heavy handed on the salt but seasoned wonderfully and not overly greasy. Service: 10/10 Now, I went after work and I had a great experience with the staff. They were welcoming, professional, attentive and kind. Now, I'm sure some of these reviews are probably complaining about service knowing dang well lunch anywhere in this area is gonna be swamped. HELLO- you try serving over 4000 people at lunch time and not get a little crabby. read more

I will never ever return to this location. I am a frequent customer and their food is good. However the customer service is horrible!!!! When placing an order, I asked an employee for assistance, followed their guidance and when it was later discovered and acknowledged the employee made an error, the location refused to honor a $2.85 price discrepancy although I offered to pay the difference. I was calm, cool and collected but inside I was boiling as I thought about all of the support I have given this business. They definitely need customer service training!!!!! read more

One of my faves! I'm a regular at this location. It's close to work and I go there for lunch & office parties. Reasonable prices & decent portions! The staff are always nice & friendly! The spot is always popping, music is on point & customers line up from the register to the door. A gem in the neighborhood & a must try! They have vegan choices too, so it's a win win for all. Ask before purchasing if you have dietary restrictions. The Uber bogo is a surety for lunch & we love to share. Wish we could have different sides but it's the same sides for the two. The whiting, salmon, shrimp, chicken, oxtail & lobster dishes are delicious and well seasoned whether baked, fried or grilled. The steamed vegetables are my favorite when freshly made. More to come! I highly recommend! read more

I went in for lunch on a Tuesday and it was so packed. I quickly understood why. $10 lunch special!!! I love soul food and as I walked down the assembly line everything looked so good. On top of that, they do NOT skimp on the serving sizes. I ordered the junior combo which came with 8 pieces of fried shrimp, 2 huge pieces of fried whiting, and a whole heaping hill of fries on top. Everything was seasoned so well, the fries had a great crunch. I am definitely returning for the salmon, mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese next time. Such a good price point. Oh and did I mention the lunch special comes with a drink? Pink lemonade, iced tea or half and half. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Order from this place to the office on Uber Eats. They have great bogo specials so if your office mates can agree you can really save money,or get 2 meals for yourself! No judgement! I had the Ox-tails recently and these were some LARGE Ox tails! Im talking Babe the blue ox sized! Serioulsy I love Ox Tails but so many places give you these tiny specimens that its just sad. These are big and have plenty of meat and just enough fat to satisfy that craving. The sauce is outstanding as well. Antoher time I had the scallops lunch special and for 9.95 they gave me like 8 jumbo scallops and enough fries to cause me to make a cardiologist appointment! These guys do not skrimp on the portions. As for sides I have had the excellent collard greens which are great with a lil hit sauce and also the homemade mashed potatoes which are also very good. My boss loved the Whiting which isnt really my thing but I tried it and thought it was decent. read more

When is a great things about New York is that you can get to any restaurant and it's open at late night. Seemed appealing on our drive-in since we were going back to our hotel late The service was OK. The ladies were not that friendly, but since it was almost closing time, I'm guessing they were just miserable because they wanted to get home. Kind of sucks because it was our first time try new things The food on the other hand was all right. It was great to be able to order different soul food items. I love that it was cafeteria style so that you could see the options and pick your food. The ambience was an upscale cafeteria for Food to take with you. Next time I'm in New York, I would definitely want to try it again but probably during lunch when there's a better rotation and maybe the staff is a little more friendly. read more

I ordered from this restaurant as I have done many times before. Little did I know, how disrespectful, and unloyal, management could be to their repeat customers. I ordered the fried shrimps, yams and Mac n cheese. I ordered it through UBER eats as always, it was supposed to be buy one get one free. I placed the order about 10:50 am. My son picked up the order, when we got home I noticed they had only given us 2 orders. I didn't notice it prior because he put it in the back of the car, and we went on. When we called the store, they said to make the complaint to UBER eats. When all they had to do was tell us to come back and pick up the other 2 orders. Like I said, it was a repeat order of many times and they have a big sign posted on the window. Of course the manager was too busy to come to the phone, after many times we called back. They told us to call after the lunch hour which we did, yet still the manager was always too busy to come to the phone. I could not believe, how they had messed up our Christmas order and had no time to rectify the situation. Bed Stuy Fish Fry, you should be ashamed of your disrespectful actions, during the season of giving to a repeat customer when the mistake was yours. Thank God, UBER eats, did return my money for one of the orders. But how DISRESPECTFUL of management at Bed Stuy Fish Fry downtown Brooklyn read more

The fish is trash!!!!!! I have to go to Harlem to get a decent fried whiting and that is just sad. What are you frying this with - going the cheap route to save money.

Order through Uber if you can and pick it up they have a BOGO - yep buy one get one free....i dare you to give them a try and tell me what you think.

This store deserves a ZERO. I will NEVER go back to the store on Livington street. The staff is too unprofessoinal and downright ghetto for me with their nasty atitudes. The newer younger hires are pleasant, but the regular older staff is ratchet. I waited with half a dozen other customers while a server raged at the kitchen staff for not having the food ready. She was screaming at them for a full five minutes. When it was my turn to be served, the woman normally at the cashier bypassed me to help the woman after me. She wasn't professional enough to tell me another server will help me shortly. I was a repeat customer but it's my mother that likes their food. I'm not putting up with these folks ever again. Sheesh! read more
