We walked in & weren't greeted but we were talking & laughing walking in that's not an excuse not to greet someone but I'm just gonna say maybe it was that. There were only 2 people working when we walked in & a 3rd person walked in he greeted us with a smile & he was nice. We ordered fried fish oxtail Mac & cheese and lobster/shrimp Mac & cheese. The fish was good but not crispy like I would have liked. The Mac & cheeses were a disappointment. It wasn't Mac & cheese it was more oxtail macaroni NO cheese. I'm sure because of the consistency cheese was in there somewhere but it wasn't the Mac & cheese u would think u were about to eat. I didn't care for it. The lobster/shrimp was not good at all it seemed all the seasoning was on the top so we mixed it up to make sure & it got worse it was super salty shrimps were too small it just wasn't what we expected. read more

Saw this place on TikTok and decided to give them a try. So glad I did because everything was amazing! From the customer service to the food, 10/10 across the board! Marcus and Jordan were friendly and super helpful when it came to deciding what we ordered. The menu is extensive but we went with the oxtail Rasta pasta, plantain boats with oxtail and shrimp, and fried catfish. Everything was super flavorful. Even though the sauce on the Rasta pasta was delicious, the fish had the perfect amount of batter, and the plantain boats had just the right amount of sweetness, it's still difficult to decide which was my favorite! The place is small but the flavors and portions are big. There is limited seating available and seems like most people take their orders to go. I would definitely come back again and again next time I'm in the area! read more

I saw this place on TikTok, it looked great so I decided to give it a try. I was very disappointed. The whiting was thin and not crispy and very bony. Not ideal when you're in the mood for a good fried fish. The wings had so much potential, they were nice and crispy, but there were way too many feathers left on all of them. They need to clean their chicken better. The only good thing was the fried shrimp. It was crispy and had great flavor. I wouldn't recommend you go out of your way to come here, but if you're in the neighborhood, then give it a try. It seems to be hit or miss. read more

I've been wanting to try SF for a while and finally did recently. I wasn't really blown away..the fried whiting was pretty bland and not fried hard like I requested. I also did not receive the lemon pepper sauce that I paid extra for. The wings were also bland. I selected honey Jerk bbq sauce, but I didn't taste a hint of jerk or bbq on the wings. I had to add my own jerk sauce and bbq sauce to them in order to enjoy them. Maybe I caught them on an off day.. On the other hand, the truffle fries were DELICIOUS however!! I may try other menu items at some point. read more

I have seen this location pop up online and made a mental note to stop by and support. Stopped by one weekday afternoon. Upon entering this waiting/area is a not that big, a get it and go vibe but they do have 1 long high table facing the window and high chairs, which is cool if you do want to eat it there. The staff was mad cool, welcoming and music was vibing! I had been feeling for fried fish lately so was happy that they had fried whiting and fish on the menu. Decided to get the fried whiting with the side of fries it also came with potato bread. My brother decided on getting the beef patty and the oxtail mac & cheese. They were out of the fresh juice for the day, so we decided to go with ginger ale and grape soda. The whiting fish was a bit thin for my liking. Biting into it was a bit underwhelming. The fries were great as they were seasoned with Old bay. My brother thought the beef patty was good and mentioned he should of got it with the coco bread. He stated the oxtail mac and cheese was okay. Will stop by again to try their other menu items. read more

Man. This is probably the toughest review I've ever had to write. The customer service was top tier, I mean that. Well with the person that I ordered from. It was a brief interaction but all I could think is how much money this young man could make based on the way he interacts with customers. On to the food. So so disappointing. I think it was bruh man from the fif flo who said he used to make wish samiches, and I finally know EXACTLY what he meant. The whiting sandwich LOOKED so appealing, really. Yet biting into it and tasting nothing--no spice, no seasoning, no flavor...just rough man. I ate it because I was hungry, and the entire time I WISHED it tasted like a flavorful fish samich. They sell something called banana pudding but that is NOT what it is. In the middle of me gnawing on liquid mash, I hit something that tasted spoiled and that was the end of it for me. To take this experience all the way to the top, after it was all eaten and done, I realized that bubble guts were included and I didn't even ask for them! It's Saturday morning and it's still going. When I looked this place up and saw that the health department didn't have a rating for it, I thought, eh, how bad could it be. I found out, and found this place on social media--not returning is an understatement, and I really hope they can figure out a way to turn it around and make it better. read more

Simply Fried - Whiting sandwich on wheat - Fish & Chips Near Me - Queens, New York

Food is okay. Given its name, we mostly got fried items such as empanadas and shrimp. Also got the lobster Mac and cheese. Everything was a bit too salty. Not a terrible meal, but nothing to rave about. Food takes a really long time to prepare. read more

Simply Fried - Fish & Chips Near Me - Queens, New York

Saw this place pop up on the Instagram feed and thought the food looked really good to check them out. The menu has a lot to choose from. From patties, Rasta pasta, empanadas, coco bread sandwiches and plantain boats to name a few items. They ran out of the beef patties, so they must be pretty good. We got the chicken curry patty instead which had a good kick to it. The Rasta Pasta was pretty good. It was creamy and also mixed with red and green pepper strips. Had a little heat, but definitely not the spiciest Rasta Pasta I've had, so it would be good for those who don't like a ton of spice. The wings were tender and good too. We really liked the ox tail and shrimp plantain boat. The oxtail was super tender and flavorful. It was nice pairing with the sweet plantain. Overall the food was great. I did have to knock off one star because of the wait time to get the food. Not sure if it was just an off day we went regarding timing, but we had to wait double the 30 minutes wait they told us it would be. I understand about making things fresh to order, but an hour wait is a little ridiculous. read more

The shrimp and lobster empanada is mad good and they are a great size . The oxtail one is skimped on the meat a little. I feel it could've been stuffed more. The location is small. But they do make your food fresh. It was also great customer service. Ngl I wouldn't care to go back unless I was getting empanadas. My bf said the whiting sandwich was good. They have nice bread options like potato bread. The oxtail Mac was mid. I would never recommend it to Anyone . I kinda guessed it would be from the IG videos but looks can be deceiving. But it was only 9$ but ngl wasn't worth it. The fried shrimp was good, fried a little hard but I don't mind that. read more

Everything is delicious here. The space has more seating and the menu has expanded ! The service was great with the owner checking on us and offering sample tastes due to members of my group having hot spicy issues. If you are going the movies around the corner, or to the many events in this area Simply Fried is a must stop. Music is good, too ! read more

Simply Fried - Simply Fried has new seating area ! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Queens, New York

So first, I am not from Queens but my friend live there so I go a lot to try places in Queens. Let me tell you; this place is worth the trip. First the owner is the one taking your order he is very nice and professional. I had a lot of questions he answered all of them and I as very patient. Everything is set up well and it is straightforward ordering. So I ordered a lot of food because I wanted to try a lot of things. So I ordered the fried fish and shrimp combo this was really good. The fish was fried well but not overly fried that it was dry, I liked that. Next the shrimp was a good size and had the right amount of batter; also very good. The macaroni and cheese was not for me but that does not mean it was bad; I like my macaroni and cheese simple and for me this macaroni and cheese was overly seasoned in my opinion. So it depends how you like your macaroni. The other item, I ordered was off the light bites which is a great idea because some people eat small amounts from that menu I got the wings and fries. The wing sauce I got was the honey jerk and I liked it a lot. The wings were really good and so were the fries. I also ordered the guava lemonade which was good and the lobster and shrimp enchiladas and a which was also really good, it came with a sauce that is delicious. I loved this place and will definitely be back. The place is nice and you can eat there but it was cold for me so we took it to go. The best part of the experience was I didn't get sick afterwards. Sometimes at fried places; the food makes you sick but not here. I look forward to trying more things off their menu. Also we did order the sweet plantain with oxtail; it was good but the amount of oxtail was not enough for the thickness of the plantain; but I know that with that comes rising the prices which he probably doesn't want to do so; it is worth a try. I didn't take any pictures. read more

Looking for something unique, fresh and quick to eat try Simply Fried. Everything was delicious no complaints here. That fried whiting sandwich definitely hit different on the coco bread omg. The oxtail plantain boat and the oxtail mac n cheese were both . Oh and I didn't even expect to have an alcoholic beverage which was hitting. The owner was nice he made sure we were good and even gave us some drinks on the house. The restaurant is a get it and go type but they do have a couple of seats to sit and eat. Since we came from Jersey we sat and ate our sandwiches there. It's winter time so yes it was a little cold with the customers coming in and going but hey I had to eat my sandwich while it was still hot. Music was playing and it was a welcoming vibe. read more

Meh. Had an order of wings over rice. Wings looked good, but they were overcooked, so the meat was bone dry. The rice was bland. Had a jerk chicken patty. It was okay. Also ordered the Rasta Pasta with shrimp. The sauce was akin to an alfredo sauce, also on the bland side. My order totaled over $40 so they threw in a free can of cola, which I used with my rum at home. Meh. read more

Came across this place on social media and happened to be in the area so stopped by. Glad I did and surprised they have been open since July and have no reviews! Food: I ordered the fried lasagna, lobster and shrimp Mac and cheese and the truffle fries. I missed out on the sauces which I'll make sure to get next time. The fried lasagna was delicious (on the sweet side but I like that). The truffle fries were fresh and crispy and the truffle taste is subtle (I hate when adding truffle makes them soggy so I made sure before ordering) and the seafood mac and cheese had great flavor but I was missing that baked taste and could have been more cheesy. Service: the person who took my order was friendly and gave great recommendations. Seems like a one man shop so he is also the one who prepared my food. I will warn that food takes a while to come out. Do try to call ahead if you are taking it to go. I waited 30 min for my order. Also bring cash if possible as there is an additional 4% up charge for using debit or credit. Ambiance: the location is small with cool art work on the walls. Not much seating but high chairs are there if you need to wait. They also have a restroom in the back. Overall I can't wait to come back to tried some of the fried fish options, drinks and desserts! read more

Got there shortly after they opened. There wad only one staff member there. He took our order then made our food. It's a small spot so there are only seats against the window. Menu is detailed and even tells you what your total is with cash vs. credit card. Food was good. The oxtail plantain boat was my favorite. Very delicious. Food took about 30 minutes but I gave them grace since we got there shortly after they opened. The only thing that bothered me was that there was no health inspection letter in the window or anywhere that I could see. Hope they got an A. read more

I've been eating Catfish & Whiting sandwiches for over 50 years... and I can say, Simply Fried makes the best damn fish sandwiches! ... What do the youth say? .." Period" read more

Seeing pictures of other people's oxtail plantain boat has me annoyed at what I received, which was a barely stuffed plantain with very little oxtail on top. On top of the portions not being generous, we waited over 30 minutes for our food in person with literally zero line. The chefs were chatting with each other most of the time, and moved at a very slow pace. I'd like to give this place the benefit of the doubt and try again in the hopes that it was an off night, but I was very unimpressed with everything. read more

Their menu is huge and everything is cooked to perfection on the spot. I love it. I which they were open on Sund as well.

I've been there twice now. The first time I ordered Whiting and Fries; the second time I tried the Catfish and Shrimp. Both times I was pleasantly surprised.
