The store seems like a mom and pop restaurant so the service was very personable. The ambience isn't the best it is not a sit in establishment and very small and cramped but they have an A from the food inspector, so it's definitely clean and up to code. Will definitely be coming back.

I've only had amazing soul food in New Jersey if we are speaking east coast but this one got it The catfish was fried fresh and cooked perfectly with an amazing crispy coating. The yams! Absolutely incredible! Hands down my favorite part of the meal. The mac and cheese was just right.The only downside is that they close at 9 p.m which feels a little early because I'd definitely come here for a late dinner if I could. Other than that I have no complaints. If you're craving authentic soul food, this place is a must try.

The Catfish is what I get now it's always very fresh well seasoned and it is not FAKE No Shade ! And the sides is always a plus!

THIS REVIEW IS SOLELY FOR THE UBER EATS DELIVERY PORTION**7/24…read more I ordered a large amount of fish and French fries. I know you are reading to find how the fish was, because the reviews on Maxine's on the Boulevard have really good ratings. Well, I can't tell you how the fish and fries were, because I used the Uber Eats app to order my food and I never received the food, even though the order shows complete in the app. I gave specific instructions and I even provided my telephone number so that the driver could call if he had problems, because delivery drivers will drop your food anywhere, IN MY EXPERIENCE! I gave a 20% tip as well. I called Maxine's on the Boulevard, and they say the order is out, if you have a problem call Uber Eats. I went downstairs to the salon, and they did not receive an order. One worker said that the guy was waiting for 14 minutes and no one showed up. Let me tell why the driver waited, he never followed the instructions. The delivery was a standard delivery because when you pay more the delivery doesn't arrive any faster. The order was made at 3:18 and with a 40-minute delivery window or at 4:00 pm. The app showed an ETA of 4pm. The driver arrives early and stood outside, not bothering to call the number provided. I will go as far as to say, maybe I did not hear the new delivery window alert. Why did he stand at the salon and not come to the apartment build? I remember that I used to delivery Uber Eats and I went to Red Lobster, delivered the food, told the customer to check the order before I leave. There was a problem. I drove back to Red Lobster to retrieve the missing lobster tail. Red Lobster said that they were closed, long story short, I drove back to the customer, lobster tail in-tow. I was not going to leave without the customer's missing item. I was representing a company, so I did what I had to do to make sure that the customer was satisfied. Not bragging but you don't get that service nowadays, some workers are unconcerned whether you get what you pay for or not. Do you know that I was salivating for this delicious fish and savory French fries, Crinkled cut at that! Frish on a Friday, you can't go wrong unless you do as I did and use Uber Eats. I am too hangry at the moment... Inspire more, Yelp more!

I find it hilarious how some of the reviews say how bland and tasteless the food is, how watery the…read moremac and cheese is, and things of that manner. I've been ordering from this place since my childhood and while at times some of the dishes may not taste exactly the same because it's all home cooked I have never had an issue where the food has been disgusting. I literally just had a plate that I'm currently devouring now. The mac and cheese has pretty good flavor does not taste like just black pepper as stated somewhere, The candy yams also have a nice flavor with spices in a good amount of sweetness, the cornbread is made well what the proper amount of sweetness and moisture. The chicken breast was actually tender and juicy which I don't get from anywhere when I get chicken breast and the potato salad definitely has a homemade taste. I recently ordered from another supposed soul food place and their food was an absolute disaster to the point that I threw most of it right in the garbage. Rockaway fish House continues to be a consistent source of take out home cooking and I'll stand by that any day as every order I've gotten has scratched the itch that I've had when I don't feel like cooking this stuff myself.

I was very disappointed with my experience at Rockaway Fish House. The customer service was poor…read morefrom the start. Our server was rude and seemed irritated that we asked questions about the menu before ordering. As customers, we should be able to ask about the food without feeling like we're inconveniencing the staff. The server's attitude made us feel unwelcome. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing. Much of it tasted processed rather than homemade. The candied yams, green beans, and collard greens all appeared to come straight from a can. The macaroni and cheese was dry, hard around the edges, and tasted old, as if it had been sitting out for quite some time. Based on this experience, I don't feel the food quality or customer service justified the price. I was expecting fresh, flavorful Southern cooking and friendly hospitality, but sadly, I received neither. I hope the restaurant takes customer feedback seriously and makes improvements because there is a lot of room for better food quality and customer service

Presentation is everything to me. I ordered the mac and cheese with honey garlic chicken and collard greens. The chicken is fried good but the sauce is light which supposed to be honey garlic. The mac and cheese has no pull and it seems to be cheese only on the top and barley throughout. The collard greens are good even though there is no meat in them. And they have enough salt as well.

We are so glad we came here. I had their 2 eggs (over well) with home fries (with onions and green peppers) and the pork sausage patty. It came with toast (white with jelly). My breakfast was supreme. The eggs were perfection! My lovely had pancakes. She got 3 good sized pancakes. She added crispy bacon (3 slices). She came hungry but couldn't get around all 3 cakes. I helped. The cakes were grand even without syrup. I've been making cakes for decades and never nail what she ordered. The bacon was excellent. She had hot tea and I had coffee. Their coffee was first class; I had a refill. Our waitress was awesome. Super friendly and helpful. I believe the owners were on premises. They engaged with customers and the staff (always a good sign). If I'm right, one even manned the grill. We Ubered here from the TWA Hotel, which isn't even 15 minutes away. Be sure to hit the right pickup location in your app. We are so glad we came here. We arrived hungry and left full. Highly recommend.

It's very nostalgic staff are very friendly place was clean, which is must, I ordered breakfast which you can order up until 4 pm two eggs over medium with toast, grits and a salmon cake Now I don't need to remind you not everyone can cook grits, LOL When the food arrived hot. It was Delicious. I was intrigued by those entering the establishment who were greeted on a first name basis you could tell they had been been patronizing the place for years and even though it was my first time visiting this establishment, I was greeted with the same warmth and care. I never felt rushed if there is a negative that would be they don't take plastic but other than that if you're looking for a warm pleasant place to eat breakfast because that's all I had, I recommend the place. I'm definitely going back trying either the lunch or dinner menu.
