    Did you know Captain Jays has over thirty locations? They've come along way since we started shopping there 20 years ago. Captain Jay's sells fresh market items, like bread, milk and eggs. But its main business is fish and chicken. Billy and Alexis were both terrific. A mistake was made on the shrimp portion of our order and they rectified it. Quickly. The hush puppies and Mac n cheese are great. The coleslaw is better. Now, if we could only get rid of the Pepsi! 11/24

    First time coming here. Food was excellent, ordered a fried chicken combo. Great flavor, very fresh, the lemon pepper seasoning definitely gave it a unique taste, and huge portion size for the cost. The chicken was really crispy, but not dried out. A lot of other places don't make their chicken crispy enough and can be soggy, but it was perfect here. I'll def be back.

    I've never had any issues with their food. It was fresh and hot. I would recommend trying their food.

    This review is based on a catered lunch for my company's Black History Month celebration…read more Everything was great, especially the catfish, yams, and stuffing. Excellent peach cobbler as well. I know it's traditional but sad there is meat in the greens, they looked nice and fresh.

(Wait staff and environment is reserved for special occasions imo). For Moore Soulfood we ordered take out and We ate in our car but there are tables for eat in if thats what you like. Today was a visit to Detroit to see my daughter. We were craving some Home Cooking and found it here. Lots of small mom and pops around but we chose this one because they had a review already and were open. Menu looks very good. I got the smothered Pork chops , mac n cheese and collards. My son got fried catfish mac n cheese and loaded mash potatoes with cornbread. We decided to splurge and got peach cobbler and banana pudding, our total bill was $50. Seems like a lot but hey we are in Michigan ‍ and wth, Im cravin soul so its's worth it. I'm posting pictures below. I've got to tell you I mean this is some of the best stuff I have ever had. It just brought back memories for me. I devoured one of the pork chops, about a third of my macaroni and cheese and half of my collards and I was stuffed , I took a bite of the both desserts. They were very good. The peach cobbler was not served warm which is fine cause we can always take it back and heat it up and put a dollop of ice cream on it but just to let you know in case you wanna ask them to heat it up. But oh my God it's so good. I will go back there in a heartbeat! Thank you ladies for reminding me of my roots.

    I want so bad for there to be a great BBQ spot downriver. I really don't think most of downriver…read moreknows what good BBQ is. Yea you have roundhouse and you did have RealBBQ (only great for opening month) etc. but there really isn't any great BBQ around here. Anyway this spot was ok. I almost gave it 2 stars but I have to go back and try the chicken. We ordered one chicken BBQ plate and one BBQ rib plate to go. We get back to the spot to try it and she messed up and put two BBQ. I called and she offered a free chicken BBQ plate when I come back. The meat was somewhat tender but you could tell they made a lot and let it sit a long time. you could tell it was probably great a few hours earlier. They use the southeastern style vinegar based bbq sauce. A lot of flavor. I like that style. The greens were excellent in my opinion and The cornbread was the absolute worst dry non flavor cornbread I ever had. I was really disappointed in that. I've done a lot of traveling and I have found that the best BBQ spots are located in the hood so I was amped to try this. I am going to give them one more shot to try the BBQ chicken and cornbread and go from there. Ps this is only a carry out spot.

    It just wasn't that great. We were so excited to try it too. We went on the weekend and they didn't…read morehave their full menu. It was only breakfast until noon. We were hoping to try some of their barbecue. It was a basic breakfast at best and no one cared for their homemade sausage unfortunately

    This place is seemingly unsuspecting. You wouldn't look Twice at it yet the food they put out is…read morepretty darn stellar. I came with my nephew and sister and we were all surprised at the prices vs the portion sizes! Being from Atlanta I was expecting smaller portions but they go big here! I got the Fat Daddy Sandwich and was so excited to eat it and almost burnt my tongue. The chicken was freshly fried and dressed to order. I dug into the delicious cheese fries while I waited for my sandwich to cool. Pairing it all with the fried pickles just competed the whole meal. Small area to dine in, mainly waiting space, but it was a slow evening and we decided to hang out. If im in the area i would definitely visit again.

    I used to visit Fat Daddy's all the time, but as I moved a bit further away, my visits have…read moredecreased in frequency. Still, it's always a pleasant treat to drop by and have some hot chicken once in a while. On my most recent visit, I got a couple of items: Chicken Cheese Fries, Mild ($13.70) - The fries are kind of chewy and not crisp but that could be because of the 15 min drive home before digging in. Fresh green onion and fried chicken tenders are dropped on top with the meat being not dry but not especially moist. In terms of spice level, we went with mild, which in this case is basically not spicy at all, giving just a very slight tingle on the tongue. Tangy, almost vinegary comeback sauce and a cheese sauce are drizzled on top of everything. Overall the seasoning level is good. I mean, it's fries with stuff on top; hard to mess that up. I just don't think I would get this again because the sandwiches are way better and this is just average. (3/5) Hush Puppies ($4.60) - One order comes with six pieces. These hush puppies have a nice crisp exterior skin with a tender and fluffy corn meal interior, seasoned perfectly. They come with the comeback sauce on the side, but I don't think they actually need the sauce as they are perfectly delicious by themselves. (4/5) The Fat Daddy, Hot, Pickles ($13.70) - Woah, this thing is hefty. I'd almost forgotten how big the sandwiches are. This single sandwich probably weighs equal to everything else we got. They give you a giant chicken thigh with a super moist interior and a crisp exterior. The chicken has a bit of heat at hot but is not overwhelming. Either my heat tolerance has gotten better or they've toned the heat down - I remember always getting the hot and having trouble with it in the past! They add a bit of slaw to add additional crunch. You can choose between pickles and peppers - I went with pickles to amp up the vinegar tangy notes. Everything is on a fluffy buttery bun. The sandwich comes with seasoned fries that are seasoned well and not overly salty. The texture feels a little chewy rather than being crisp and they look kind of pale, like they are under fried. A bit disappointing to be honest. (4/5) Since I first visited Fat Daddy's, they've expanded to a couple more locations around the Metro. I'm happy to see them getting their food out to a wider audience. I definitely recommend them, especially for their hot chicken sandwiches. Now if only they brought the hot bone-in chicken back - it's on the menu, but they don't actually carry it anymore. Overall rating of the food this visit: 3.67/5
