Go-to spot for crispy fried fish and wings in NW Detroit. The whiting and perch are fresh, golden, and well-seasoned, and the wings are juicy with a nice crunch. Fast, friendly service and solid value. No-frills vibe, best for takeout. Sides can run a bit light, so consider adding extra fries or slaw. Pro tip: Whiting dinner + extra sauce = clutch. read more

Nu Wave Fish & Chicken - a close up of a nu wave fish - Fish & Chips Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Specifically the NUWAVE CHICKEN AND FISH on West 8 Mile Road and Lahser They fried my chicken in old grease. The food was awful, but the customer service was almost worse. I guess they think they can serve anything to folks and by the time the customer gets to their destination and discover the food is nasty the customer will just chalk it up to a loss. If you don't want to get sick with a sour stomach or just have money to throw away, pass this place by. read more

Hubby and I wanted fish for a couple of weeks. We are visiting to assist with family, so we looked for a place that was open for pickup and this restaurant was close and prices were reasonable. I called to place the order and I could barely understand what she was saying. I believe she was on speaker and she sounded frustrated wirh me:( That is a turn off for sure, but I was looking to the finish line, I had to try some fish. We ordered the 8 piece shrimp with 2 pieces of whiting with fries, cole slaw and a drink for 10.99. Fries were plentiful and tasted okay no biggy. The whiting and shrimp were not seasoned that well. It is probably good for a person with blood pressure issues, but if you are looking for a return visit that will not be happening. Just because we tend to be a tad bit greedy, we ordered a 5 piece catfish nugget kids meal. We were not happy with it either. They were cooked to the bare minimum if you ask me. Just long enough to be done but not crispy at all. read more

Great place & great customer service. My go to spot whenever I'm out on the road looking for a bite to eat. Chicken is amazing

Ordered chicken for Easter. It wasn't ready. Waited for an hour to get it home to find dried out burned chicken. Called the restaurant to speak to the manager and was told he is too busy. Chantelle said bring it back for fresh chicken. I had guests and couldn't do that. Chantelle said bring it back tomorrow for more but I didn't need it for tomorrow. She said that was my choices and hung up on me. I called back and asked for the name of the manager and she said Fatty then hung up again. Never would I recommend 9 mile anf Greenfield Wave. read more

I decided to Nu-wave because there was a Groupon deal. For $13, you get a set meal of two different types of fish, shrimp, 10pcs wing dings, slaw or spaghetti. This is half off their regular prices. The restaurant. Primarily a take out joint, there is very limited seating. Individual window seats 5, and two small tables that accommodate 2. The food here is made to order, so expect to wait if you don't call ahead. We were told it would be 20 minutes, but the food was ready in after 15 minutes or so. The Fish. We selected catfish and tilapia. Both were in a similar cornmeal crusted batter which gave the fish a lot of extra crunch. The filets were a little in the thin side, but the size was decent. This crust pretty much overpowered any flavor if any. This was served with their homemade tartar sauce which was average. 2,5 stars. The wing dings are boneless chicken nuggets in essence. Lightly dusted and deep fried. Your typical boneless chicken. This came with prepackaged bbq, ranch and buffalo dipping sauces. Nothing wrong with these. 4 stars. The slaw was kind of in between. Not quite runny, not quite creamy... kind of a quasi creamy/traditional slaw. This must be the "NEW wave". It wasn't bad, just different. 3 stars. The Shrimp. These were decent sized (31-40 ct). And we're battered and deep fried. While it was still very crunchy, this batter did not contain the cornmeal, which made it a little better. It was served with prepackaged cocktail sauce. 3. Stars. Overall, with the Groupon, the value is great. But the food itself is nothing to rave about. The service is a tad sub-par, and so are the facilities. read more

This review is just "about the menu" and I have to give you props on that getting rid of these paper menus at home (going paperless/green) and your menu online is EXACTLY the same as it is on paper!! No guessing necessary. About to place my order read more

With a surprising deal from somewhere we got a combo with 4 pieces of catfish, 1/2 lb shrimp, 10 pc wing dings and a cole slaw. Fish and lemon pepper wings were way too hard to eat, and dry, bland. BUT the shrimp tasted great! I would go back for sure but for other flavors of wings. They would give custmors many coupons as well, however even if without any coupons, their original prices are afforable. read more

My mom really wanted to stop by for one of their lunch specials. We called in our order knowing that most times it takes awhile. After calling three times with no answer, someone finally picked up. They took the order and hung up before my mother could say no lemon pepper. She tried calling back twice, but there was no answer. When we arrived only one person was working both as cook and cashier . At least that explained why it was so hard to get a call answered . Sure enough when we got the order it was made with lemon pepper. I explained what happened to the young lady and without argument she said it would be another 5 to 10 minutes to remake. When I returned for the order, there was an additional person there who was nice, but could not find the order when I gave her the information, although my order was right next to her on the counter. What we received was less than desired. The shrimp were overcooked and dry. The french fries and chicken was nothing to rave about but okay. I don't know that I would go out of my way to come here. read more

When I went, they were out of tenders so I got wing dings. I don't like boned wings, and I almost never get them, but man these are fantastic. The lemon pepper seasoning is top notch and full of flavor. And the hush puppies, don't get me start on how great those are... Highly recommended! I'll for sure be coming back. And a shout out Keba for cooking my food perfectly and Kenyhatta for being so sweet. Thanks again, I'm for sure coming back! read more

Nu Wave Fish & Chicken - We order this from Nu Wave on 7/telegraph...shameful - Fish & Chips Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

I love chicken but this seem like they put the whole bottle of season on the chicken i had. The okra was cooked on the outside but not the inside raw i got sick read more

When I lived in Oak Park I ordered from this restaurant everyday. I love love the shrimp selections. Delivery was prompt and the food was always warm. Unfortunately they do not deliver to Clauson read more

I placed an online order with this establishment to be severely disappointed. The order was delayed two hours leading me to go without dinner for the night, as the situation we are currently in leaves nothing open past a certain time. Very unprofessional. read more

This is the same as the Nu Wave Fish & Chicken found in various parts of Detroit. It is a newer location located along W. 9 Mile Rd & Greenfield Rds in Southfield. The same strip mall has a Leo's Coney island and a Lou's Deli. And this strip mall is within walking distance of Providence Hospital. It looks small and fairly non-descript outside. Inside is very clean and seems new, there is a large screen TV in one corner and an actual bathroom that paying customers can use. Several tables and chairs so if someone wanted to eat there they could. The day I was there, yesterday (3/21/11) there were two workers. One very friendly and personable lady and one younger looking kid in the back. The friendly lady allowed myself and my MIL to ponder over the take out menu as long as we wanted, which took a while as my MIL can never make up her mind. We placed an order. And it was ready very very fast. This location has essentially all the same stuff as the other Nu Wave locations - various over fried "Shrimps" an Fish and Chicken Wings, Tenders, Nuggets etc. Everything is deep fried and over flavored with Lord only knows what. I opted for a Chicken Tender dinner that came with 7 breast meat tenders, a kings helping of soggy barely lukewarm french fries, and some soggy stale white bread, with Two small 1oz containers of some substance that resembles Cole Slaw. A Few major differences between this Location and the other location on McNichols... The 9 Mile location is CLEAN, looks New, and has no sour off color smells. The Chicken Tenders at the 9mile location is not Over spiced and is not Over fried. And the alleged Cole Slaw actually tasted like Cole Slaw. On those notes, I would rather visit the 9 Mile/Greenfield NuWave vs any other NuWave. I still cannot decipher WTF that frigging Soggy White Bread is for. read more

I cannot rave enough about Nu Wave simply because I've found a great place to buy fried chicken gizzards that are cooked right. Yes, I'm just that country. Anyway, I have absolutely no complaints about the food, my problem is the service, which is the reason I gave them 3 and not 4 stars. Horrendous customer service is endemic in Detroit. People come to expect it as a way of life. However, having just come back to the area after a 5 year absence, I find it appalling that "please" and "thank you" coming from a customer is met with some of the most brusque and coarse responses. It hasn't been just a single cashier, but every one I encounter at this location. We can do better, people. read more

The plusses = Hushpuppies! The Chicken Tenders! Good stuff! The okays = The coleslaw, the hot sauce, the wings. The minues = No soul food at this locale (so no greens...boo) French Fries (soggy as hell!) the BBQ sauce (kind of vinegary) The bread = plain old boring loaf bread...nothing special here. I'd go back...super close to work, and since I've sworn off Leo's Coney Island, this helps! crunch crunch! read more

I wish I could give a -6 stars just based on customer service I really believe that yelp should allow us to review services and food in separate categories because the food there is about a 3 1/2 out of five, pretty decent. However the customer service is atrocious. It's mainly kids who have little to no idea what customer service is. I'm not asking to have my ass kissed but no greeting or acknowledgment at all. I had to say hello 3 times while staring this lil girl in the eye before she comprehended how to respond, I mean geez com'on man. She asked if I wanted lemon pepper and in the .9 seconds it took me to respond she had already gave me a "neck snap" and a " I said do you want lemon pepper" because she was a child I luckily restrained myself. But this will be my last time eating here. As each time I go the customer service seems to worsen. read more

I thought the chicken was great! I was just disappointed that it took 30 minutes to get a simple 5 piece dinner that only included french fries and two slices of bread. I thought maybe it was just a one time thing but the next time I went there the wait was the same. I was also let down tremendously by the 'home cooked' soul food sides. The macaroni and cheese was definitely NOT home cooked or soul food. It was obviously store bought and refrigerated. I would love to go back for the chicken but the wait is just not worth it :/ read more

Oh my god, worst food ever. I ordered a perch and wing ding combo and it's terrible. The wing dings are so small I think they were baby chicklets and my fish tastes like cold grease. They dumped so much lemon pepper on my food, I feel my blood pressure rising. Then I ordered 2 orders of okra for me and someone else and they put it in one container. I also ordered the catfish and shrimp combo, the shrimp has the worst taste. The catfish is undercooked and no flavor. The okra is over cooked. There was no plasticware and the coleslaw is running down the street. To top it off, the two male employees spent more time gauking at my daughter then they spent cooking the food. NEVER WILL I EVER go back!!!! read more

The restaurant in Highland Park is awful, we ordered 10 pieces of Cod Fish with a side order of Mac n Cheese and had it delivered through Door Dash. When we received our fish OMG, that fish was so hard you could throw it against a wall and it would not break. I immediately called Restaurant and Door Dash to requested a refund. The restaurant manager was apologetic and wanted me to return food that should be in the garbage plus no fish should have left the restaurant in that type of order, not like that! I would never recommend this place to a dying dog! read more

Love love love their wings! Always a party favorite and everyone is always asking where I got the chicken. They're always super fresh so don't expect to pick them up 2 minutes after ordering. Plan ahead and order ahead! read more

This nu wave joint is the best in the area, great service by Sam he took and made my whole order such great service and stellar food.

Best fish & chicken in the D. Well worth the drive. The supermeal is the best bang for your buck,enough food to feed 3

I hate this particular location. They've given me under cooked chicken, overcooked chicken, and no seasoning. Everybody loves Nu Wave for their seasoning. Otherwise it's just regular chicken. Also the guy and girl that work there are unprofessional. They once left to go to the liquor store and get snacks while my friends and I were waiting for our food. Need new management ASAP read more

This is about the Lansing location - I am so angry about this. Decided to give them a try last Fri, stopped in and placed a take out order. Waited about 15 min (was treated to the cashier yelling for several min at another employee at the front counter). Finally the cook sticks his head in and says that he just arrived and would start our order right away but it would be another 15 min wait. Immediately told the cashier we weren't willing to wait that long and just wanted a refund. She said she didn't know how, and called the manager. The manager told her that they don't do refunds on credit card orders (we had paid with Discover) and she was not allowed to give cash back. He just offered more food instead. We asked the cashier for the managers information and she said she didn't know his real name (!) they all just called him King and gave us his cell phone number. I was pretty flabbergasted at all of this. I placed a chargeback through Discover, but the $15 is really beside the point. It's going to cost them more than the $15 in the long run, that's not how you treat customers. read more

I am very upset about this place. Was working at Providence Hospital and decided to give them a try. Gave them my order an hour in advance and picked it up after work. I live an hour away and when I got home the order was completely screwed up. I paid for a banana pudding, didn't get it. The Collard Greens tasted like they came from a can and I only wanted one but was charged for two. The 3 piece chicken my wife got was a pathetic joke. Got three scrawny wings with next to zero meat. I ordered catfish, lets just say Gorton's fish sticks doesn't have anything to worry about. I will never under any circumstances waste my hard earned money at this place. I could have got a meal twice as good for half the cost at Hollywood Market's deli counter. read more

i always order chicken from here whenever i'm having a gathering. not much to say except the service is quick, and you get a nice bang for your buck. my food is always hot, i usually order the wing dings. you can get about 50 for $22ish, depending on if you want them flavored or not. when you call in, make sure they confirm your order back to you. i've had instances where they have called me back to make sure i said wing dings and not whole wings. other than that, this place is decent. the food is always hot, fresh, and usually available in about 20 minutes if you call ahead! not bad for a local fried chicken spot. read more

Unfortunately they advertise lunch special with a 16oz fountain drink or koolaid or water.. when I bought my food and expected a cup the cashier points to a cooler with 12oz pop cans or water.. what happened to the option for a fountain drink or koolaid..stop the shenanigans NuWave seriously read more

We ordered wings and fries on Wednesday. Everybody has food poisoning. You all either fried the chicken in fish grease or it was old chicken. Thanks for making my entire household sick. Nasty ass!!!! read more

Customer service was great, and I was surprise. The chicken was a little to crisp, other then that I would recommend this carry out.

To the previous writer about soggy bread in her dinner--I think the bread is there to sop up the grease--not to eat. I usually ask for another piece of bread bc I think the bread on which they place the fish is for draining grease from the meat. read more

Foods taste is not consistent , they don't like to give refunds either...I like consistency not a possibly! Other locations more consistent
