It was good. A bit on the salty side with the season on the fish. But it was definitely fresh and cooked very well. This is a good spot for some fish and grits. Very wholesome. Felt like good ol' home cooking with mama in the kitchen. Live love and Laugh Sha read more

Read the reviews...they all had basically one thing in common, the food, that the food is good. The collard greens and candied yams were pleasing to my palate. The fried shrimp could of had a little more seasoning in the batter but they were still delicious. My friend had the fried catfish nuggets with the same sides and she was very happy with her choice as well. Customer service was friendly. My suggestion is to order your food to go and sit and enjoy your food in the dining area. There wasn't a waitress, just a cashier. There are TV's to watch as you wait patiently for some good food... If time isn't on your side place your order before heading over there. I didn't have a prob read more

I don't know why they have such bad reviews. Ok, I guess I get it now.... I called in my order (so I wouldn't have to wait) and it was ready when I got there. The whiting was pretty terrible. When I ordered a year ago, it was perfect and a much different breading. The breading was soft and mushy and it feel off the fish. It had no taste...at all. The Mac and cheese had no seasoning and it too tasted bland. The collard greens were ok and the string beans were ok. They must have changed Chefs from last year. Oh and if your a state, city or federal employee, you get a 10% discount. If you dine in, it's 20%! read more

if i could give zero stars i would.. door dashed this order and 40 minutes after ordering they call me to tell me they're out of whiting... 35 minutes later food arrives zero tarter sauce zero condiments... 35.00 order for what.. 1 hr 10 minutes of my life i can't get back, and 35.00 in the home.. threw ya food away... f*#k you very much!!! read more

A small restaurant that I have visited before in, the past. I normally order take out and the food is normally prepared fresh when it comes to fried food. I find their food to be extremely salty, sometimes to salty that you can't eat the food. I do enjoy the Mac n cheese, candied yams and string beans. Kool aid is a tad bit sweet but when you add ice it's perfect. read more

Food is amazing! Don't let the location fool you. I would give it a five star, however!!! It's too salty

I have ordered takeout from here a bunch of times, always seafood like fried whiting or shrimp. The food is pretty good and well seasoned especially the sides but that's not the reason why I come here. I come here out of convenience and extreme hunger. The wait time is reasonable. I wouldn't recommend dining in here because it looks pretty beat up. Call in your order and keep it moving... read more

I ordered from UberEATS & received the seafood platter with yams, mac & cheese & a order of 4 wings. The yams were delicious (particularly my mom & I favorite) as well as everything else. I will go into the restaurant to check it out too one day. They're not available to delivery to my location via UberEATS anymore :'( but I have been to the location & although from the outside it looks like a place I would just walk on by..the food is always 100% on point. read more

I ordered the whiting dinner and red velvet cake through UberEats delivery and was very happy with my food. My fish had a really nice, flaky and even batter -- was seasoned nicely too. I picked yams and mac-n-cheese as my sides. I loved my yams, and my mac-n-cheese was good -- simple, but good. My girlfriend and I are a little tight-assed about our food and we both enjoyed our meal. I wouldn't order the potato salad again -- it was watery and lacked flavor. I didn't enjoy the greens either. I love the menu-- they even have turkey wings!! I'll definitely re-order. I got $15 off of my UberEats delivery order using the code: eats-h4pu2kqhue read more

Catfish Cafe - WHITING DINNER W/ YAMS AND MAC-N-CHEESE - Soul Food Near Me - Jamaica, New York

This spot has a bunch of different names; everything from Catfish cafe (yelp) to Seafood Delite (living social and yelp) to just plain ol' Restaurant (menu). The interior of the restaurant is like what other Yelpers mentioned, they are in dire need of an update. This place looks rough! I placed an order for grilled shrimp with string beans and collard greens. The total came to $16! I asked the cashier how many shrimp came with the meal, I was told 10. I was thinking they better be huge lol After 30 minutes of waiting (btw they weren't even crowded) I received my food and found a table in their dine in area towards the back. My food was scarce for the amount I paid. I legit left there still hungry. The shrimp I received were, at the most, large before even being cooked! The portion was disappointing and the prices didnt coincide at all. I could have gotten better quality seafood from Pathmark. I won't be returning. read more

I'm a bit torn when it comes to this place.. The service is a bit schizophrenic ...one day it's exceptional (via telephone) and the next it's EXTREMELY ratchet. Let me elaborate.. Me: hi I'd like to order for pick up Order taker: aight what u want Me: I'd like 2 orders of fried chicken breast with Mac n cheese and yams. One with a breast and a wing and one with two breasts. Order taker: so u want white meat or dark meat??! Me: breast and wing are white meat Order taker: it don't come wit Breast and a wing it come wit breast and a leg. That's white meat. Wing ain't white meat. Me: (trying not to get irritated) "I'd like white meat which is breast and wing" Order taker: wait HOLD ON...ok hello? ME: yes Order taker: Aurite so u want a breast and wit what now? Me: never mind. Any who. I can say that their Fried chicken with Mac n cheese and yams are delish but the portions are SMALL. I've also tried their fried whiting which isn't anything to rave about. It lacked seasoning and desired crispiness.. :-/ That's all she wrote. Toodles. read more

I came here with a groupon and it was a pure disappointment from start to finish. The interior wasn't nice by any means but I was willing to look past that if the food was good, but it wasn't. There is a there weird nautical theme going on in the restaurant, or more like random paddles and anchors hanging on the wall. There's also a huge dirty window AC hanging right above our table with wires and switches right by our table. The restaurant was pretty loud but I let that slide since a lot of people where just socializing in the front part of the restaurant. However, I could not get past the flies that were in the restaurant. There were 2 flies hovering around our table the whole time and it was disgusting. When we were seated, we did not get any water at our table until after our entrees arrived and we had to ask for water. The waitress seemed like she did not want to be at the restaurant and wasn't very helpful. I don't even know where to begin with how bad all of the food is. So I ordered the fried catfish with sides of Mac and cheese and candied yams. All 3 of my items were horrible. The catfish was bland and tasted like cheap fish fried in plain batter. There was no seasonings or any spices and the piece of fish was drenched in oil on my plate. The candied yams were way too sweet. I understand yams are sweet to begin with, but these yams had so much sugar in them that it was unbearable as a side. It would be much better off as a desert item with that much sugar. The Mac and cheese was not good by an standard, but it was less bad than the yams. The Mac and cheese was not creamy or cheesy. It was bland and had too much oil or water in it. My friend ordered the BBQ chicken with Mac and cheese and collard greens. The BBQ chicken was the worst thing we have both tasted. It tasted like boiled chicken with a very thin coating of BBQ sauce on it. It wasn't the thick, sticky, finger liking BBQ I was expecting. The collard greens were horrible as well and it was simply boiled. It had no sort of taste or flavorings on it whatsoever. After such a disappointing meal, I wasn't going to bother with dessert since everything was awful upto this point but I got the banana pudding since desert was included in my groupon. The banana pudding wasn't the best but since the food was so bad, I'd have to say it was the least awful thing I've tried at this restaurant. Even with a groupon, I regret coming here and regret this meal because it was just that bad. Worst soul food I have ever tried. read more

I visited Catfish Cafe this past Friday based on a Groupon i'd purchased. I had whiting, yams and potatoe salad which were all good. My issue was with the service. There was only one server on a Friday night and she was handling dine in and take out. She also advised us that the Groupon could only be used on a bill of $30 or more. This information is not stipulated in the Groupon. My Bf and I were going to leave when she said "fine i'll take it." If I ever return it'll be for takeout only as it appears they do not have the staff to cover "Dining In." I'll also be notifying Groupon that patrons should be privy to this $30 minimum. read more

I purchased a groupon because the restaurant received decent reviews. Well, what a disappointment. Initially we had a hard time finding the place because there wasn't a "Catfish Cafe" sign it only says "Soul food" outside (see picture) and this is in a seedy looking industrial area. The signage was pretty poor so we initially went into door on the left which was the takeout area but realized we were in the wrong spot. Once in the dining area what a greater disappointment it looked dingy and worst of all It smelled horrible (like bug spray). We asked a couple about the food and the guy assured us the food was ok. Well, I'd never know because the groupon was a bait and switch deal. According to the groupon, terms/fine print the voucher was worth $20 with the stipulation its for two persons-"dine in only", but the hostess informed us that we had to purchase $30 worth of food and we could deduct $20 she showed us a printed sign behind the counter (see picture). She said she couldn't change this without a managers approval and guess what, the manager wasn't there with no known arrival time. Truth be told, I was relieved because I wasn't going to eat at this restaurant. read more

Just experienced some of the worse food service I have ever had. I waited almost an hour for some of the worse food on earth. I ordered the catfish SANDWICH and was delivered literally a slab of uncooked soggy catfish with some of the worse seasoning I've ever tasted. Literally came with no bun, lettuce, or anything that made it a sandwich. My girlfriend ordered the whiting dinner. Imagine only getting 7-10 small cut fries for your side. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Food is disgusting and straight disrespectful to the culinary world. No possible way the owners or workers even eat from here. How can you call yourself catfish cafe and not even cook catfish, nor season it well, or be okay with soggy soft fish. NEVER AGAIN. Completely understand why this place has bad reviews, can't believe I gave this place a chance. read more

One night noticed them serving food with their bare hands (no gloves) asked for a refund gave us a whole run around . Worst customer service I ever experienced read more

The only reason you have 1 star is because of the pie that was the only item that wasn't salty the potato salad wasn't too salty so it was tolerable and i don't have time to drive there and have them replace the plate or refund me..So i ordered Uber eats yesterday 11/15/2018. I was so hungry because of the snowstorm. Anyway i ordered this a slice of pie and potato salad. My bill after the 3.49 delivery was like 26/27 dollars ..but i didn't care I'm hungry..i get my food and take a bite of the Mac and cheese..it's a bit salty..I'm like hmm take a bite of the shrimp..loaded with salt the whole shrimp dinner felt like i was licking the bottom of the ocean..are they trying to put someone in cardiac arrest..i couldn't even eat the food so i just wasted like 15 dollars...will definitely stick with southern girls because this is horrific read more

Got some dinner there tonight food was good tasteful. Reason I didn't give 5 stars is the prices! I felt for the bbq chicken dinner I got 10$ should be the max. I prefer breast and wing but was giving leg and thigh ‍ no issue. Got it with collards greens and Mac and cheese. Would I go back. Yes the atmosphere was cool. Despite a loud mouth dude parking cars being extra lol. Next time I go back I'll have the salmon. While I was there so many calls came in for it. read more

The waffle was soggy like it was an instant waffle that was microwaved, the chicken was oily and slimey, quite literally the worse fried chicken I've ever had in my life. I got three orders of the chicken and waffles which amounted to $45 somehow--that's more than anywhere I've ever gotten chicken and waffles from. Disgusting, don't buy from here. Money wasted read more

4 stars for the amazing food! I've been looking for a place like this since I moved back to New York. Homemade somewhat southern food! I had the seafood platter which consists of fried shrimp, fried catfish nuggets & whiting. It also came with two sides. I chose Mac n cheese and candied yams. I could not finish my food, it was so much for 16$! I also got a slice of red velvet cake. It was a little too sweet for me with too much icing but good nonetheless. I ordered online through grub hub and my order was ready in about 20 mins. I also used their groupon deal which got me 20$ worth of carry out for 15$! I have yet to dine in but I'm dying to take my bf here ! read more

Terrible service, walked into this establishment no kind of acknowledgement. The ghetto girl behind the counter took a while to take my order. I did not tip after paying bc the service was already garbage. Work on customer service if you want tips. We received our order with no condiments nor did we get a thank you. The food wasn't good fish no seasoning too bland, tastes like they came out of a can w added sugar. The only thing they cooked right was the Mac n Cheese. I would give the establishment another, based on customer service never again... 8/13 My friend and I wanted some fried fish last night. We decided to go there bc it was along the way to our destination. Nothing has changed, please get a new counter person. That chick is very ghetto to say the least. It seems as if ppl are annoying her when they come in to place orders. No interested in customers whatsoever. Was interested in getting back to her convo w friends smh. Next time we will drive the extra distance to RCL or MJS. I would never visit this place again based on the counter chick let alone that soggy bland fried fish... read more

First I wanna know when Big Momma passed away bc this food ain't hitting like it use to. The whitting was bland and the greens were ashy. Greens are suppose to be juicy with lil chucks of meat. What happened??!! And the potato salad was unimpressive. The Jerk Chicken was a Fraud, it's like they used already baked chicken and then slapped on some jerk sauce. Do you know how much Jerk Chicken and Greens mean in the black community And the fact that y'all got this all wrong is a disgrace. And what kills me is that y'all got 18 restaurants in that one spot and nobody in there got the food right. Damn ain't nobody in there with diabetes and a lil fat over the elbow? This is a shame & a scandal and y'all need to get this together immediately. Up in there cooking this Low Class Food y'all ought to be ashamed of y'all selves. read more

A bit disappointed on my visit tonight .. First off they excluded all f the good stuff from the groupon .. its basically just chicken, porkchops and catfish no more salmon, turkey wings ribs or seafood platter I have been craving this place all week n After working a long 11hr shift at work today the only thing i wanted more than Catfish Cafe was sleep but hunger struck so i made my way out to queens.... Now because of the extra LONG wait whether dining in or take i called my order in extra extra early or so i thought so that it would be ready when i arrived but that just was not the case....45 mins to be exact and still had to wait an additional 15 mins or so #sigh I got the Fried Chicken it was two legs and tweeny weeny itsy bitsy thigh or maybe it was a breast i dunno hard to tell them apart on a chicken but it was good(well done, well seasoned) and crispy like chicken is supposed to be but the sides were not good. The potato salad was soupy and flavorless the mac and cheese was scrapped from the bottom of the pan n had pieces of aluminum foil in it....2 spoonful n str8 in the trash My shorty got the jerk chicken w/ spaghetti and potato salad .... The chicken was lets see ... i cannot think of a word to describe it but they tried n the wing they included was not cooked good at all The "spaghetti" which was actually Linguine was disgusting!! It taste like they just boiled it after i placed my order and dumped more than half a bottle of tomato sauce on it.....str8 to the trash The highlight of my visit was the Banana pudding, i must admit i was a lil hesitant b/c the last time i got this it was frozen and it took a few hours to thaw out on my desk at work but i took a chance and boy was i happy i did. It was to die for!! Not frozen, soft, fluffy, moist, fresh and melted in my mouth It made my top 10 list!! To compensate for the long wait they gave me free piece of cake which was a nice gesture :) If it had not been for the pudding i would have given 2 stars .... I convince myself i really cant be to0 mad because the whole thing was $17 even if was only for a couple of pieces of chicken, some soupy potato salad and some banana pudding and out of 4 visits this was the 1st bad experience I have one more groupon left for this place and after that im going to retire it unless they lower the price to $10 and then perhaps i may reconsider ... read more

This is by far the worse place I ever ate at. The food is so oily and salty. I felt like sh#t after. Not to mention they got the whole order wrong a few times. And the attitude of the brownskin girl who worked in the front was uncalled for. If your not gonna be nice don't come to work. We are spending our money. I definitely love supporting black owned businesses, but y'all are by far the worst place I've ever ate at. I don't even think they deserve the one star, but yelp got it where you got to at least use one star to place a review. Sorry guys y'all are two thumbs down read more

First off let me say I love the food here. But boy I'm telling u the service sucks!! The cashiers are very rude, lazy and font seem to really wanna work.

Covid has nothing to do with the service , they open when they want and they hire women of older age who don't wana work but have to !!

So now I can't order Idw her to do anything to my food , the owners use to care but idk maybe new management dgaf , food is either good or trash and the service is it's best at 12am when their slim younger clerk is working read more

I placed an order and went to pick it up. The whiting was not cleaned properly fins were on my fish. When I saw that I was totally unhappy. The shrimp was soggy and very salty. Soggy because the cook put the collard greens in the same box with the shrimp "ahh duhh " shrimp will get SOGGY from the collard green juice. The collard greens were big chunks. I don't know what the hell is going on here. The corn on my plate was the only good thing. The food used to be good now it's disgusting. On top of that I ordered a Turkey burger deluxe. They had the nerve to give me a dry ass bun with a patty and no lettuce or tomatoes! I don't know who the cook is but he needs to be FIRED! What am I paying you for! Oh I know.. Disgusting food and horrible service. Stop drop and run! DO NOT EAT HERE you will regret it. read more

THIS PLACE IS A HEROINE DISTRIBUTION FACILITY. Or at least that's how I can comprehend how utterly horrible this place is. At 6:09, we placed our order via seamless. Around 7:30, we called because it was odd that our meal wasn't here yet. That's when it got fun. Girl who answered the phone, aside from being a snotty little bitch, was completely incompetent. After 10 minutes of her telling me my order doesn't exist, she transferred me to some guy that basically said "hey, yeah, so we missed it. What do you want to do?" In the hope that the food wasn't garbage, I just said "what time can you get it to me?" 8:30. Ok, I accepted that. So, at 845, when I called, I got snotty mc bitchnose again who let the phone ring 13 times before picking up. Then she basically told me my order was on the way and hung up on me. At 8:55 the nicest driver rolled up in a red van and ran my stuff over. Ok, cool. That's when the real assault on taste began. My wife's food was wrong. Oily catfish, soggy fries and a side she didn't order. The side she DID order was missing. My food was GROSS. 3 weird ribs one of which snapped in half. It's been cooking for somewhere around 17 days, as I couldn't tell when my tooth hit bone, it was alllllll mush. My mac and cheese was actually from the first batch of Mac and cheese. Like, the time some Italian person first paired pasta and cheese and my fries existed, but had the consistency of wet news paper. Mulder didn't touch his yams or his chicken. Which was really surprising. Because he's a puppy. He loves everything. read more

Food here is delicious but the service is horrible !!! Rude staff members every time I come. If the food wasn't good I would never return

Went here on Easter Sunday. This was possibly the WORST experience I have EVER had at a restaurant. We were seated right away which we were happy about. There were 5 of us. My husband and I, our daughter, my sister and her fiancé. After about 10 minutes the disgruntled looking waitress came over and asked for our drink order. We all ordered red Koolaids and Iced Teas. Since we had already been sitting there for so long, we already knew what we wanted to order for food. We started to give the server our food order as well and she snapped "I have to take drinks first!" well ok then! After she took the drink order we gave her our food order. 20 minutes go by and we still didn't receive our drinks. After my husband got up to go complain they bought our drinks. Now, I am no stranger to Koolaid. We basically lived off that stuff when we were kids. I know that its supposed to be VERY sweet as it really just consists of Sugar and water with some red dye but OH MY LORD this was like red syrup. It actually made me thirstier drinking it. My tooth literally hurt from the amount of sugar in it. Even my 2 year old didn't want it. 40 minutes have now elapsed and we still see no food. We overheard the table next to us talking about how it had been over an hour and they still didn't get their food. They were all putting on their coats getting ready to "go to I"HOP" when the server came over and announced that she was sorry about the wait but we needed to be patient because she was the only one working in the kitchen that day. Great time to warn us!! I asked my party if we wanted to leave but everybody agreed on just staying. We had already waited too long to throw in the towel now and plus our legs and butts had fell asleep (the chairs are awful). My sisters fiancé said he was so hungry his stomach went numb. LOL. after about an hour and a half our food finally came. I will give them this.... the chicken and waffles was great! The chicken was moist and flavorful (I opted for white meat for $1 more) and the waffle was pretty good. The real star was the chicken tho. My daughter got the catfish nuggets and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was wayyyyyyy too salty but the catfish nuggets were some of the best ive ever had. Overall, the food was really good and calmed us down somewhat. If going here was just dependent on how good the food was, I would visit again. However, customer service is abysmal and the experience that I had here will forever leave a bad taste in my mouth. The food is not worth 1 1/2 hour wait. read more

I ordered the catfish macaroni and yams it was delicious. The catfish is too die for omg

The food was so good! I had the blackened catfish with candy yams and mac and cheese! Worth the price! The reason for the three stars, the customer service sucks. She was so rude and rushed me off the phone to call me back to repeat my order again. When I saw her in person it was no difference she was watching South Park and took my money and dropped my food with no acknowledgement at all. Advice To Management: Make sure your employees greet or at least acknowledge the customers. It can make customers like me become a loyal customer but that attitude from that one girl...made me uncomfortable and not want to order for my family members. read more

5 star all the way! I felt a little apprehensive coming to this place because it only had 2 reviews on yelp, but I've been craving soul food for a few days now so figured i'de give it a shot. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised. The place is small but very clean. I ordered the chicken and waffles and my friend got the fried catfish with a side of mac and cheese and candied yams. The catfish was devine. The breading was rich and crunchy and the fish was very moist and tender. The mac and cheese was slam dunk. I detected a slight hint of nutmeg. The chicken and waffles was 5 star all the way. The waffles were buttery and crusty and the chicken had a nice golden crust and was soooo juicy. This place is definitely a gem. Both of our meals came up to $22! Oh they don't take cards because they just opened. I hope their standards won't change when they become more popular. read more

I went here yesterday and I haven't eaten here in awhile. The staff was helpful and pleasant. I don't eat catfish so I ordered the seafood platter minus the catfish. After I paid I told them I was walking to the corner store. One of the employees came looking for me outside to see if I wanted to substitute my catfish with something else. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my order. I called in an order today and I order the same thing. The man that answered didn't ask me about the substitution. He did call me back within two minutes to ask me. I'm really impressed with the service. read more

This is a small place but it has great food and amazing customer service. Catfish cafe is a hidden gem of the best southern cuisine. The prices are affordable and reasonable. My boyfriend and I used the living social deal was pay 15 for 30. We ordered 5 piece whiting fish $ 6, 4 chicken wings $6, 10 buffalo wings $8, and BBQ ribs with mac&cheese and yams as the side $13. We were only 5 bucks over the 30 and the amount of food we received made it amazing. It's was a delight and a treat. People commented on the customer service being bad but I had a great experience. The food is made to order but it is worth it, so expect to wait a few minutes. The wait was not unreasonable though and it was worth it. Our waiter made sure we had everything we could need or want. Even provided us with coupon/menus for our next visit. read more

I normally don't write reviews but my aunt referred me to the establishment. I had a catfish dinner with French fries and collar greens, the price $15 dollars. What an expensive meal for the portions provided--1 piece of catfish and 2 small sides. There food ratio in size does not warrant the $15 dollar price tag rounded up. Its hard to keep customers wanting to come back if their experience was not satisfying on the first time placing an order. Although the catfish was moist and good overall it did not wow me for the amount of money paid. If we want our black businesses to flourish you have to come better than 1piece of catfish when the name of the establishment is branded as catfish cafe, hence the reason I made my selection. If you are opened to work on the business model then you may be willing to make the adjustments by making the first customer experience satisfying otherwise catfish cafe will be out to sea forever! read more

Bought this deal from groupon complete disappointment !!! I ordered two fried whiting meals for my boyfriend and I. We had both gotten the macaroni salad he got the rice and I got collard greens . Now let me first start of by saying that I can't stand cat fish and that's was I received when I blatantly asked for fried whiting. That was the first mistake ! The card green taste like vinegar and were cut entirely to big and the Mac salad was just despicable . Luckily I did not pay full price for the the s Two other wise I would. Have been highly upset. Never again not to mention the little girl who took my order was rude she didn't want stop entertaining some that was their and as a black woman I really like to support black owned establishments but sometimes we get in our own way read more

Food is not all that great, and I've come here before it closed down [for the second time???] Now, it's reopened for the third time and I've got to say that the food and service has gone down. I ordered lunch twice from here since this last reopening, and first time, i wanted over an hour for my food, with them telling me 15 more minutes every 10 minutes. After waiting for an hour, I asked my money back so i could buy some fried chicken from across the street and they wouldn't let me, holding me for the last 20 minutes until my order came. The chicken was very dry. This last time I ordered, I learned from my mistake and called in ahead of time. They said 30 minutes which was realistically 45 minutes, but that's not bad compared to last time. When I got my food (which was $2 more then I expected because I looked at their old menu... no updated menu and their website is down) I was a bit unhappy. I ordered candied yams over the phone only to be shot in the heart when they informed me they didn't have any when I went there to pick up. This is probably my favorite thing from there. The jerk sauce on the chicken was WAY too salty to eat. I ended up scraping off the sauce and eating just the chicken. Defeats the purpose of eating jerk chicken. My co-workers's collared greens was also way too salty. It was like eating fresh seaweed with some salt added. NASTY. I would only come here for the chicken and Waffles when they have it on special for $5 when I'm bored with the food around here. Even then, this place has just ruined themselves for me. read more
