If I tell you my office ordered catering from here two years ago and I still remember how good it…read morewas- would you believe me?? How about since that day I have NEVER seen this place open so I swore the person lied to me until last Saturday. After church it was freezing and I was about to walk home when I saw the lights on. Now I will say that I am not used ordering in a small quaint area- But BABY!! Talk about a hole in the wall hidden gem! This was one of those if you know you know moments and I risked a full $32 on two plates of food to experience pure food ecstasy. No lies just the truth- that catfish, Mac and greens will bring you to know knees in thanksgiving for all who participated in making it including the fisherman. Some slap ya momma good soul food. I would not recommend that you stand inside like I did it's to hot and stuffy but the woman inside was SWEET! There is parking out front and I have no idea what was on the menu. When I walked in the lady said this is what we have and I said I'll take two. No there is no seating area or a bathroom so I took it on home and my son and I we went to town. Everything was seasoned perfectly, the fish was crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. It HIT THE SPOT!

Queens Soul Food is a small takeout spot, there's nowhere to sit and dine in but the customer…read moreservice is always amazing. The ladies are so nice and the food is good (for the most part). They offer samples on any and everything. This may have been my 4th time eating from here. The food I've had in the past was good. This time the food wasn't as great but it was still decent. The greens were salty and the Mac was bland (the candy yam juice on top made it better). But it was still edible.

This take out spot just opened and is off Jamaica Avenue and Guy R. Brewer Blvd. It was not noisy…read morebut I was there when they 1st opened. Seems to get crowded in the afternoon . This restaurant identifies as Black-Owned . There is no parking and it seems to be causing congestion as there are people double parking to pick up orders .

But if you go around 12/1 PM you're guaranteed to get what you want from the menu for that day. The staff is very friendly, especially Mr. Vince and they are priced really well! The most I've paid for a meal is $7, but of course that can go up or down depending on how much you order. I highly recommend the fried chicken here. Very moist, seasoned, crispy and far from oily! The veggies are typically seasonal. Spinach here is pretty great though. Other items you can find here are meatloaf, mac and cheese, hot wings, and various rice. For me it's conveniently located, and has become sort of my go to place. They also provide catering services. Highly recommended!

It was a weekend night and I've passed by this restaurant a few times. Parking wasn't too…read moredifficult; I was able to park at the corner. The appearance of the restaurant is bright and clean. I ordered the turkey wings, lima beans, and collard greens. The order was plentiful as I had enough to save for the next day. The turkey wings was tasty and tender, I enjoyed the lime beans and the collard greens. I usually add acv to my greens. Although they don't add acv to their greens, I found the greens to be flavorful. I also ordered a slice of pineapple coconut cake. I will come here again and the service was out standing.

Another Black-Owned restaurant checked on my list. Came here a couple weeks ago late afternoon. I…read moreordered turkey wing(s), collard greens, mac and cheese and a side of candied yams. Everything came up to $16.88. The place is bright and clean. Food was good and seasoned well. My gripes are they served a person with no mask on. Had I not come so far I would have turned around. Also, I only got 1 one part of the wing with my dinner. I feel like the whole wing should be included which I expressed. Other than that I had previously spoken with one of the owners (wife) telling her my intentions to visit and she was really sweet and inviting. I will be back to try more items and hopefully add a star! Sorry forgot the menu pic.

This was my first time ordering from Maxine, and the food was so good that I decided to give it…read moreanother try. Both times, the flavor was consistent and absolutely delicious. On my second visit, I went to see the restaurant in person and noticed the name had changed from Maxine to GT. The surrounding neighborhood wasn't what I expected and felt a bit run down. That said, the inside of the restaurant was clean, with an "A" health rating clearly posted in the window. There's no seating available, and all orders are taken behind bulletproof glass, which seems to reflect the area. I also appreciated that the food isn't sitting out in trays--it's prepared fresh in the back once you order. The staff handled food properly, putting on gloves after handling my payment. Overall, I'd rate the food a solid 5/5 and the location a 1/5, averaging out to a 3-star experience.

Lamb chop rasta pasta ($28) Rating 8/10 The lamb chops are three pieces of good size, fully seasoned (not spicy) and cooked. The outside is a bit charred and the inside is still soft. The rasta pasta is very plain and could use some spices, sauce or anything else to brighten it up. Oxtail 4 Cheese Mac ($21.70) Rating 7/10 Very cheesy, Mac is soft, oxtail is small pieces, decent quality with a mix of soft cooked meat, tendon and bones. The oxtail is hiding under the Mac and cheese. Guava lemonade $5.72 rating 7/10 It's fresh and it's in a nice bottle but it's very sweet.

There's often a short wait, which isn't surprising given how consistently packed the dining room is. The brunch menu is stacked with crowd favorites, and the music always sets the vibe--something you can really enjoy while you eat. But the food? Phenomenal. The fried catfish was seasoned and fried to crispy perfection. The turkey wings were tender, flavorful, and cooked just right--fall-off-the-bone good. And the yams? Sweet, rich, and perfectly seasoned... honestly hard to stop eating. The macaroni was rich and satisfying, and the potato salad is always a standout for me. For dessert, I had the chocolate cake--and it was exactly how I like it: moist with real, creamy frosting that doesn't miss. The brunch sangria was also a hit. I mixed red and white, and it was smooth and refreshing. Portion sizes are generous, so you definitely leave satisfied. And Danny, the owner, really sets the tone--he's always present, checking in with guests, jumping in to help the staff, and clearly running a tight operation. Nettie's continues to be the go-to spot for soul food--consistently good, every time.

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.

Clearly the cook is not familiar with American Soul Food. Very disappointing. I also got the peace cobbler. Haven't tried it yet. The one star was for the bbq sauce.the cornbread was all crumbs nothing to enjoy. Well I finally tried the peach cobbler it was bitter,soggy and disgusting.

I don't know what was going on before, but they've definitely figured it out.
