    Fried Shrimp with Regular Fries
    Lynda G.

    I love the food here. I usually come for the fried crawfish and the catfish but they no longer have the fried crawfish (at least not this location) :-( Tonight I had the fried Calamari which I've had before and it's always good and the fried shrimp. The shrimps are big and not heavily breaded. There's a sauce that comes with the calamari that's delicious. Oh, and did I mention that tonight they are having a masquerade ball. Should be fun.

    First I'll start off by saying, please don't be stingy with your sauces. It's degrading to patrons, especially when you forget items, have misprints on the menu, and are newly opened, in a close community, where the residents will likely be your largest revenue. I was working from home today, and hubby suggested we try Bobo's for lunch. We had been eyeing the place for some time, wondering when they would open up. We were going to order from their online menu but the lunch options were charging us double, so I decided to take a break from work, and go over to the restaurant to order in person. They have a QR code posted outside their entrance, so you can order online but I suggest either calling your order in, or just going in person, especially with their menu issues. If you know me, you know I ordered a not-so-mini smorgasbord of delectables, so that I can sample the menu and see if the place is worth a revisit. I ordered a myriad of items and the first issue I experienced was the fact that I was charged $12 for two orders of lemon pepper fries. On the menu they handed to me at the time that I placed my order, the fries were listed as $4 (check my pics). When I asked about the overcharge, I was told that the menu was incorrectly printed. Red flag for me. Anyone who values their customers should have apologized and offered either a refund, or another item that cost the same amount of the overcharge because, if your menu lists a price, then that's what you need to charge until you fix it. What we had: Lemon Pepper Fries - lemon pepper, where? The seasoning was lost on a trail, waiting for a rescue team, because it was nowhere near these fries. Granted, they were fried well but bland, and considering I was charged 2 bucks more for them, you would have thought they tasted good enough to toss on someone's floor, like Puma did Ceasar. Hushpuppies - solid flavor, like corn bread that wants to be savory. They're ok but where's the sauce?? Crab Cakes - the menu said that it was two per order, but we had a few small ones. They are hot garbage. Very fishy smelling, and tasting, and a few of them were fried hard. Not worth the price tag. Again, where's the sauce? No remoulade? Calamari - really nicely fried. Light and crisp. Very good but again, no marinara, or any type of sauce?? Popcorn Shrimp - dangerous...sooo dangerous, and good, but it would have been nice if they came with a sauce. Lemon Pepper Wings - don't pay extra for all drumsticks because it just isn't worth it. This flavor was very salty, and again, I did not get what it's all cracked up to be. They tasted like fired wings, seasoned in salt and pepper. Basic ASF. Chicken Tenders - I got these for our kiddo. I asked for their BBQ sauce on the side, and I also asked for one of each, bleu cheese, and ranch dipping sauces, but was told inoculd only get one for the other wings, since I was already getting the BBQ sauce on the side, and guess what? They didn't pack my BBQ sauce. These were basic tenders. Fried Shrimp & Onion Rings - This combo was really good. Reminds me of City Island. The fry on the shrimp is like KFC extra crispy. I dig this lots, and the best part is that it won't break the bank. Chicken & Sausage Dirty Rice - More like dingy. I'm unsure the chef's definition of dirty rice but I think they may need some further instruction. Hubby ordered this, and it was basically chicken pieces and andouille sausage, with a scant amount of sauce, over bland ass white rice (again, check my pics). Lunch Specials are available, Monday thru Friday, from open to 3p. Each dish comes with 1/2 lb odf seafood, two eggs, two taters, and two pieces of corn, and your choice of sauce. I ordered two for good measure. Lunch #1: Head Off Shrimp with mild Bobo's OG sauce. It's still a little spicy, and definitely high sodium, but everything is good. The shrimp are cleaned, the potatoes are not mushy, the corn is fully engulfed in the saucy flavor, and the eggs are a nice addition. Lunch #2: Snow Crab Legs with spicy Mojojojo sauce. The sauce is sweet with a helluva kick. I'm not one who enjoys working for my food so, I probably wouldn't order this again. Again, it was served with two of each, potatoes, eggs, and corn. If you read my list of items, you had to have noticed that I purchased quite a few fried seafood items. They legit, gave me one small container of bleu cheese sauce, one small container of tartar sauce, one small container of cocktail sauce, and they forgot my BBQ sauce for my daughter's tenders, after being stingy over an extra dipping sauce. I spent over $125 to try them out and see if they were worth another visit. I've definitely had better, and I just don't think they're worth the price. I'm sure they'll make decent money here but, despite them being in super close proximity, I'd probably take the trip to the west side, and hit up the Puerto Plata seafood truck.

    GUMBO
    Jasmine J.

    I'm giving 3 stars simply because I feel they have room for improvements. I started off with the "Gumbo". It looked more like a soup than anything. Gumbo is supposed to be hearty and thick to coat the stomach but it had the texture of soup. All I had in my cup was one baby shrimp and a bunch of celery. On to the Boil. I got 1/2 a lb of Shrimp and 1/2 a lb of Black Mussels in Garlic Butter no heat, it came with 1 Potato, 1 Corn and I added Hard Boiled Eggs. The Mussel were very tasty. I scooped the sauce up into the shell with the meat...delicious. My problem is that the shrimp was over cooked to the point it tasted mushy. I give it to them they are taking care of the ladies in the restroom and I love that. They have only been open for about 2 weeks so I'll try again in a few weeks to see if it gets better.

    Moscato

    The foods okay. The boil is over season and TOO SALTY. The lobster didn't really have any flavor. Service was okay the waitress was very nice and the wine was good. Otherwise the ambiance is nice with good music. Has much potential.

    It was pretty Good for the Prices. Their signature sauce BoBo's OG was super oily and all the seasoning was stuck at the bottom of the combo bag so if you're like me and get a small rice on the side to put your sauce on top of, you will be disappointed. You're just gona make oily rice! BUT wen i rub the shrimps, crab meat or sausage in the "seasoning" It's good! ‍ LoL I would go back but i'm not getting that BoBo's OG ....idk Who made it "Very Populat!" Lol (that's what the waiter said)

    This place is amazing! I would've never thought to go here, it is in an area of Co-op city that I am not really around much, but I will start going to more just for this restaurant! The atmosphere is cute, with the staff allowing the customers to write on the wood paneling and great music! The menu has multiple options, but we decided to put together our own steam bag which consisted of, 1pound king crab leg, original bobo's sauce (mild), 2 steamed potatoes (which were so meaty) and one ear of corn that was the right amount for the two of us. That bobo's original sauce is amazing.... I can put that sauce on everything.... We actually got a second order of Cajun fries, just so we can soak them in left over bobo's sauce.... Definitely my #1 recommendation! They don't do alcohol which is nice, only soft drinks and lemonade. One down side... the service was very slow.. not just with our table but with all tables... once we ordered the food came quick, it was just finding someone to order took a very long time... they do have a QR code that you can scan and order yourself.. but I don't really like to do that if there are servers present, because I prefer to tip them! I would recommend, training the serving staff better because they are also using iPads to order so it should be faster and quicker... once this is fixed, this place would be 100%!

    Shrimp and grits

    Bobo's crab shack is my go-to spot for delicious seafood. The food is always fresh and well-seasoned with their signature BOBO sauce. Their menu includes everything from crab, shrimp and fish to crawfish, mussels and clams. All dishes are served with corn, potatoes and garlic butter. Shrimp and grits is the way to go!! Soooo yummy. Their portions are generous and the atmosphere is very casual and laid back. Their staff is friendly and always happy to answer any questions. I love going here because the food is always delicious and the service is great! Highly recommend!

    BOBO's... let's see how this goes... waiting on shrimp & crab cakes...
    Dantia J.

    ........amazing lemon pepper French fries. Mini crabs cakes.. Just fell apart and wasn't tasty, very greasy... fried shrimp also greasy... as long as they take to prepare and give you, your takeout, it should be cooked to perfection. The price to high for the goods received. They add the tip to your bill which I chose no, to give cash...

    Crawfish, Corn, Potatoe, & Egg

    Located where the old Chinese Buffet use to be in Co-Op City. Many people don't even know it's a seafood place there. It's a very family oriented place. It's nothing romantic, and nothing to compare when it comes to decor, and ambiance. You can write on the walls, and write on the tables to say you were there. It was very empty on a Monday night. I wanted to try the Fried Shrimp with their signature Mojojojo sauce. I didn't like the spice. The crab cakes were different than what I am use to tasting, but they were okay. This is the first place I know of to include egg in their seafood bag. I wonder what's that all about. The seafood was seasoned well though.

    Getting ready to dig in...  Combo A. Perfect Duo (Best for Individual)
    Marilyn V.

    On point every time. Peaceful atmosphere with delicious food, polite servers, fresh food. You will enjoy the meal. Go for it...

    I went to dine and in and didn't have any issues. So I ordered a to go combination pour over rice. It should include sausage, chicken and shrimp like the one I ordered when I dined in. I was charged for the combination pour over rice but when I got home there "NO SAUSAGE." I called and spoke to Sherry who served me. She was not apologetic but stated I could come back for the sausage. Like I have Ntn to do but to drive back when they messed up my order. She then said I can come any day for it. Im like how when another staff can just say they know Ntn about it. She stated she can leave a note with my name and number, I started giving my name and number then she starts talking to someone else and disconnects our call. I call back and talk to a guy and he tells me she is busy. Mind u I was there like 15-20 minutes ago and there wasn't much people there. I explained to him that she disconnected my call when I was giving my information for the wrong order. He asks me for my information but it was obvious he was not paying attention because he kept asking me to repeat. Check your order because they just give customers anything and don't care!!!!

    The place is beyond amazing!! All of the seafood was super fresh and flavorful. - the fried shrimp is finger licking good, lightly battered and packed with flavor. Pair it with some fries and ask for the bobo's secret sauce! - the snow crab legs and crawfish combo is perfectly seasoned. - they offer gloves, bibs and moist towelettes if you don't want to get your hands dirty. A great neighborhood joint for seafood and staff is so friendly. Highly recommended!!

    Crab legs, eggs, corn, shrimp and potato

    The customer service was good and the quantity is good for the price. Only thing is they was light on the sauce. The sauce finished before I was done eating. Was a little sad when I went back the second time and saw the prices went up but it is still very reasonable !

Typically, I order the chicken poppers and a side of rasta pasta. The chicken poppers are always and I mean ALWAYS cooked perfectly. They are basically smaller versions of chicken tenders. Whenever they arrive to me, they're fried crispy and hot, then tossed it whatever sauce I request. I usually get the honey BBQ sauce but lately I've been testing others and baybeeeee, they have a nice selection! I fell in love with the honey garlic sauce. Whenever I receive my food, it melts nicely onto the chicken, making it sticky sweet. Now, the rasta pasta could use some work. The first time I got it, it was very greasy and lacked flavor. It almost tased like a hot pasta salad, the kind you would get at a cookout or deli. The next time I ordered it, it was perfect. It had a subtle creaminess to it with perfectly cooked bell peppers and a subtle jerk seasoning or something close to it. Third time I ordered it, it was back to subpar. I'll still order it, in hopes that its just as good as that second time. On another note, I've had the mac n' cheese with oxtail. I wasn't a huge fan of the mac n' cheese. It was creamy but there was no pull to the cheese, which I prefer, therefore it kind of fell flat to me. The oxtail however, was heavenly. Very tender with delicious flavor. I also liked that they offer it off the bone. Finally, I would pass on their french fries. They are regular pre-frozen fries, nothing spectacular. Overall, if you are looking for a delicious Caribbean-American fusion, fast-casual restaurant, the sauce-boss wins! Highly recommended.

    Unprofessional Management & Poor Customer Service…read more I have been a loyal customer of Popeyes at 360 Baychester Avenue, but my recent experiences have been extremely disappointing. On a previous visit, I ordered a 10-piece regular chicken meal and requested a mix of pieces, but instead received 10 legs. Since it was too late too return, I decided to bring it to the attention of the manager, Erica, on my next visit--not to ask for compensation, but simply to share my concern. Unfortunately, the supervisor, Erica was rude, dismissive, and condescending. Instead of listening, she made me feel as though my complaint was insignificant. I then reached out to the general manager to express my concerns, only to be dismissed again--she downplayed the issue, yet apologized for the experience and offered a chicken meal, but I felt she wasn't truly genuine. and made it clear that she didn't care about the poor customer service I experienced. I wasn't asking for free food--I just wanted to bring attention to the unprofessional behavior of the staff. I understand we live in a busy area, but that is no excuse for rudeness, especially when people are spending their hard-earned money at this establishment. Customers should be treated with respect, not disregard. This experience has made me rethink returning to this location, and I hope corporate and the franchise owner address this ongoing issue. No one should be treated this way.
