Mr. AATOTD's Review - Sista's Chicken & Fish BABYYYYY... let me tell you something! If you're looking for some real down-home cooking in Madison, you better put Sista's Chicken & Fish on your list! From the moment I called, they were friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. That's how you start a great experience! I ordered the Three-Meat Special: Frog Legs Catfish Chicken Wings French Fries Greens Macaroni & Cheese The only thing I was missing was a couple slices of bread to soak up every last bite! Now let's talk about these frog legs... They don't use the traditional cornmeal breading. They use a seasoned tempura batter, and WOW! It gives the frog legs a light, crispy texture that's in a league of its own. The chicken? Absolutely amazing. There's a reason they're known for it! But BABYYYYY... let's talk about that CATFISH! That fish was thick, meaty, flaky, and seasoned with just the right amount of lemon pepper. Fried to perfection with a crispy outside and tender inside. Every bite was on point! Overall, this was some of the best soul food I've had in Madison in a very, very long time. And don't forget... Wednesday is the day to go! They've got a special you don't want to miss. My rating: 5 out of 5 Stars If you're hungry for real comfort food made with love, get yourself over to Sista's Chicken & Fish. Baby... go check them out! -- Mr. AATOTD read more

Visited Sista's for the first time for lunch on Saturday with friends. The venue is connected to a gas station and shares a small parking lot. Upon entrance, there are 3 small tables that fit around 6 guests. We didn't have trouble getting a table (as most folks do take out). Heard great things about their wings and tried their dry rub lemon pepper wings along with their catfish. The wings were excellent - very crispy, well-seasoned, and had plenty of spice. The catfish was also cooked well. I enjoyed their hot sauce, bbq sauce, and jerk sauce. The food was fried well and not too oily. Overall, had a great experience - would recommend. read more

Now that they have a brick and mortar storefront (attached to the gas station), I stopped in during their grand opening. The interior is set up mainly for takeaway with a few high tops for those wishing to dine in. It was awesome to see the amount of people waiting in line to order-a testament to the quality of their food. The menu is quite extensive with fried chicken and fish, sandwiches, ribs, and plenty of sides. Everything is made to order to expect a little bit of a wait but it is definitely worth the wait. My chicken sammy was perfectly cooked and nestled in between a brioche bun with lettuce and sauce. I enjoyed the beer batter on the fried chicken. Complete with french fries it was a hearty lunch. Took some of their banana pudding home. May be the best in Madison-absolutely amazing and a must get! Their staff is extremely warm and welcoming. I will definitely be back to try more. A perfect addition to the Park Street corridor. read more

A few weeks ago, I visited Sistas Chicken and Fish at Olbrich Gardens during Olbrich After Hours, and wow--it did not disappoint! Madison doesn't have too many spots for great fried chicken, but this place nailed it. I went for the 6-piece dinner with fries and bread, plus a side of fried okra. Everything was seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. Every single bite was so delicious! read more

Went here for Black Restaurant Week, and after going once we will be back! Since they are a food truck, it was great that it didn't take long at all to get our food and we could eat it as more of a picnic. The staff working was very friendly and even had us try out some samples of fried green tomatoes that they are thinking of putting on the menu. We got to try a couple iterations of them and give our take. We can't wait to see what he decides on for the final product. As for the food, we ordered the chicken sandwich, 4-piece catfish filet, and the fried okra. The okra was small cube segments that were nice and crunchy. We were expecting full okra pieces, but this was a pleasant surprise. The catfish filet had a good breading, but felt a little greasy or just wet. This could have been that the fish was just a little too wet when the breading went on, because based off of the fries, fried okra, and fried chicken, they clearly know how to deep fry correctly. The fries were soft on the inside and crisp on the outside without being greasy, just like we like them. They also weren't very salty. The chicken sandwich was our favorite. It was crunchy, it was flavorful, and it benefited from the super secret fried green tomatoes. We're not sure if it needed the American cheese, but whatever. Overall, very good food for very good prices. We can't wait to get back to try more of the menu! read more

Go! It's hard to find good catfish in town. I love their catfish! I typically get the combo with wings and fries. Love love love that they have mild sauce on the side! Follow their social media: Facebook and Instagram. This is where they give updates about specials and locations. They are mostly at the Wingra Post Office location. I'd recommend going after the lunch rush. Food is still fresh and so delicious. I'm excited to try new sides and specials every time I go. Highly recommend their red beans and rice and the peach cobbler pound cake (specials). Enjoy! read more

Sista's Chicken and Fish - Combo! - Food Trucks Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I have attempted to reach them for weeks about purchasing food for our 200-person family reunion in June. After ten or more phone calls, Facebook messages & text messages that have all gone unanswered. We are going to choose another option. I'm very sad about this b/c we really wanted to spend our money with a black-owned restaurant listed online as very good. I would like to give more stars, but I will not be able to comment on the food. The customer service doesn't appear to be great at this point. read more
