Yes!!!! The food is amazing and the sweet potato pies are top tier. I love that they are served mini. I love their sweet potatoes and Mac n cheese. Why?! Because they literally go together. The Mac is cheesy and cooked exactly how I want it to taste. It sticks together and is never burnt on top. But I have tried the potato salad (a hit for sure), collard greens (seasoned to perfection), and the sweet potato fries (which I don't like, because I don't really care for a sweet potato fry. But they are steak cut and glazed with a sweet yet light glaze). As for the meats: I've had the fried catfish, catfish bites, beef ribs, fried chicken breast, baked chicken breast, fried chicken wings (BBQ & Jerk), and the salmon, crabcakes, and the ultimate feast. Oh and I've had their chicken strips. By far my favorite and frequently ordered are the catfish bites and chicken strips. Just know that this restaurant used to be a sit down intimate spot with a catering hall a few doors down. But since CoVid, it has become solely takeout and delivery by the apps. So, you won't get a full dining experience and will have to pay for a certain kind of packaging. For instance, if you don't want your food to touch or leak into other food the. Order separate packages and they will do it. This place has iced tea and lemonade that are divine. The customer service not be the absolute best if you walk in. Because they are always busy and inundated with orders which is a good sign. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the cornbread! My Lawd. It's thick and delicious. read more

Ordered the catfish meal it was salty and came with collard greens and potatoe salad. Which was also okay. The service was good ordered catfish strips with Mac and cheese. read more

I really love the food at Sweet Potatoes. The mac and cheese is incredibly cheesy, and the catfish is absolutely scrumptious. But the one thing that truly stands out for me is their cornbread. It's soft, big, and delicious, not grainy at all. It almost reminds me of a pound cake, sitting perfectly in the middle: you know it's cornbread, but it has that same softness without being overly sweet. Honestly, it's the best cornbread I've tasted yet. read more

Good local neighborhood spot I discovered today it's in a weird location I would recommend calling ahead and driving over there to pick up your food. You will need to look for parking which is definitely a drawback. There is no ambience since it's a takeout only location and Service was good. I waited for my food if you choose to do that it's about a 15 minute wait overall the food I would say is OK I had catfish with collard greens and cornbread. I like my catfish crispy- This one wasn't- the collard greens were pretty good. I haven't tried the cornbread yet, but it looks right. They seemed really busy with DoorDash/Uber eats order, it would appear that they are a pretty popular place. Check them out!! read more

Sweet Potatoes Restaurant - Fried CATFISH Dinner with collard GREENS - Southern Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

The food is excellent country style back in the days Sunday after church meals. The owner is a amazing person. The recipes never disappoint. Wish there were more than 5 stars to describe. Only issue is wish they would open indoor dining back. read more

I went to Sweet Potatoes on Saturday to get sides for my meatloaf. I picked up some collard greens, Mac n Cheese, and potato salad. The collard greens were a hit with my husband and so was the Mac n cheese; however, neither he nor I liked the potato salad. That was my first time going back to Sweet Potatoes since prior to the pandemic in 2020. I stopped going because one day I picked up fried chicken and the skin was dark on the outside but the under was raw so I had to get in my car and drive all the way back to get a refund. I will give them another try again soon but I want to ease back into going by buying sides first as opposed to buying full dinners and not being satisfied with my purchase. read more

Well this place advertises that they have done in seating. Lol, not at the address but 2 storefronts up the street to a dark and dingy storefront that's dimly lit. They want you to order at the address listed then go to the spot and sit down to eat. How is the food served, in a to go bag with plastic utensils. The ribs, macaroni and cheese and collard greens were pretty tasty but all of the food was very sweet. I wanted a slice of sweet potato pie, instead I was brought a small round pie about 5 inches round. Needless to say for 3 people our bill was $136.00. We arrived at 1pm and was given the dinner menu. Very uncomfortable seating so we had to bring our food home to add hot sauce to help cut down on the sweetness. And the punch was way too sweet. Not someplace that I would recommend. Btw, the cornbread came straight out of the refrigerator. read more

The food is very good. They catered my family's Thanksgiving. As you can figure, the sweet potatoes were great and the mac and cheese was very good. We had a pan of fried fish to go with a turkey with stuffing. The fish was outstanding (it had good flavor and a nice crunch to it) and turkey wasn't not bad (a little dry). All in all you going do way worse on a catered affair then here! read more

Waited forever for food even tho I called in ahead. No space to even stand while waiting for a meal I could barely eat. Nearly $30 spent for greasy, tiny, hard, dry wings cooked in last weeks fish oil. Greasy greens and flavorless mac. Total waste of time and money. Should have got pizza. This is not the same Sweet Potato from years ago when they had tables and chairs. Bye! read more

Delicious food. Everyone enjoyed the whiting and the catfish. The Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes too. Catfish Strips!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

We look on the maps app to find nearby restaurants, we went to the web site to look at their menu, we also got it delivered to the hospital and everything was excellent! The food was truly incredibl! I had the beef ribs layer on red bean on rice with spinach DELICIOUS! The catfish and yams were so good but the topper of it all was the CORNBREAD! Never tried delivery before, but it really worked out great! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

My baked chicken (white meat, including the breast and wing) would be moist. However, my Mother's Day meal was disappointing. The chicken breast was dry and hard. There was plenty of gravy but hardly any rice and beans. I had to go out and find an additional meal later that evening. read more

The fried catfish, potato salad and greens are AMAZING ... everything is DELISH, but those are my FAVES ... HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I use to loveeeeeeeee this place. Came here several times. The best soul food i ever had in my entire life!!! The moist buttery cornbread was the best to the Mac n cheese, fish n shrimp, greens and yams was spectacular. Went there yesterday and boy did they fall off BADLY. I wont EVER be back there AGAIN. EVERYTHING was dry and no taste at all and tasted like crap!!! Greens were too sweet. Must have different owners. Such a HUGE disappointment!!! read more

I've been here about three times now, each time for pick up only (I always check my food before I leave). The food has been consistent for me. This most recent visit, I got the southern fried chicken, the Mac and cheese, the candied yams, corn bread and the potato salad and both the sweet potato pie, and a banana pudding for dessert. I wanted to see if items I tried before tasted any different. Well, I for sure am definitely not a fan of the potato salad. It just is something I should have known not to get. The candied yams actually tasted better than when I got them the first time. The chicken was still good, although they didn't serve those huge pieces like before. I guess the recession is hitting everyone, and the inflation has gotten back to the chicken . I think the mac and cheese also was better if not about the same. The sweet potato pie wasn't all that for me, which again is weird based on the restaurant name. We ordered two pies, and one was a pie like you'd get at your local chicken spot, and the other was a pie slice. The banana pudding was good, though. Also, I did try some of the collards with smoked turkey, and that was really good. I would get that next time. Oh, also, there's a cash discount but you don't find that out until after you pay so you pay the total given then you get change back and THEN they tell you about the discount. In all this time, the experience was 4.25 or 4.5 stars, but I rounded up. read more

I had the pleasure of ordering from their extensive Catering Menu for an Holiday party and everything was Exceptional! The pans were packed and filled to the very top, the food was fresh & well seasoned, and the order was ready before the scheduled pickup time. The staff was very courteous and professional. Thanks Esther! read more

Update- EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING as per usual. However, After $82.00 worth of food, I get home to find my potato salad rotten and I'm vomiting Non stop because I consumed it. Please, please, please. Keep the temperatures accurate and check your cold foods. I hate that I had to give it 1 star but after becoming violently sick over rotten potato salad, I had to give it 1 star and I really hate that. This place has the best soul food ever but I'm highly disappointed in the spoiled rotten potato salad. If you look back at some of my reviews, you'd see the love I have for Soul Food! Every soul food location around NYC has been so disappointing to me. My hubby surprised me with this one. He certainly did his research on this and I gotta love him even more now. The place is super tiny, I mean very very tiny when you walk in. It's not a spot to bring a lot of family members/friends and dine in unless the back of the store has another eatery area. Who cares anyway? Take your food to go! We did take out and I was in heaven when I got back home to Brooklyn. The car was smelling like heaven with a bitter sweetness. I had the Beef short rib dinner with Mac n cheese and collard greens with a side of potato salad. All of it was THE BOMB! In my head I was like "Oh, this is probably gonna be like all the other soul food spots and leave me sad and disappointed" but man was I wrong! Every single bite, my mouth was watering for more. It was orgasmic! Seriously! For me to use those terms can only tell you that this is really worth a try. Mac n cheese full of flavor and baked so deliciously, the collard greens were smoked with some sweetness and so juicy. The beef ribs were falling off the bone and the BBQ sauce on it was so sweet and just simply something out of this world. My hubby had Yams and by far it's the best yams I've ever had. Everything was exceptional, I literally dreamed of the day id find a good soul food place and now I found it, thanks to my hubby. Man this is crazy good lol. read more

Overall, I give this restaurant 4 stars for serving hot food, great packaging that kept the food hot, and great customer service. I just moved to the area and was in search of some southern comfort food. I came across this place on yelp. Because of the mixed reviews I was very very cautious. The food arrived within 45 minutes and the packaging ensured that it was kept hot. There was some condensation in the fries container, but that is to be expected and shows they were hot. Southern fried chicken: When I first tasted the chicken I was happy that it was hot and could tell it was cooked fresh. However, the taste was a bit off to the point where I wasn't comfortable finishing it. It tasted like the chicken was cooked fresh but that the chicken itself was on the verge of being rancid. Max and cheese: I thought the mac and cheese was good. It was nicely seasoned and cheesy. Candied Yams: These were my favorite. Good amount of sweetness and I could tell they used fresh yams as opposed to canned. Steak fries: These were cooked fresh. My only issue is that to be labeled as herb fries, they didn't have a lot of flavor. I seasoned them more to spice them up. Peach cobbler: I didn't care for this at all. The taste was bland and it didn't taste fresh. It tasted like it was cooked a few days or even a week ago. The reason I gave this place 4 stars despite some of the food not tasting super fresh was for the customer service. I reported an issue with the order on Uber eats and received a response from a restaurant. I also appreciated that the food was cooked fresh. However, for the price, I expect to get chicken that is freshly bought and seasoned and can tell from taste when something has been sitting in the pantry for a while before being fried. I'm definitely willing to give this place another try, perhaps business slowed down this week leading to the almost sour taste underlying the chicken and peach cobbler? I'm willing to speculate that this place is capable of serving fresh food and was happy that the business took the feedback as an opportunity to grow as opposed to being defensive or dismissive. Overall, I recommend giving this place a chance, as they are clearly capable of making excellent soul food! read more

I like there collard greens and mac and cheese. There sweet potatoes are very good as well

For starters, I wish this place provided a dine-in option, nonetheless for the drive and overall taste, the food was alright. I drove all the way from LI and i had higher expectations. The food had flavored and was seasoned pretty good. I ordered the southern fried chicken with 2 sides - mac + cheese and collard greens. I'm not certain I would make the drive again, but I would encourage you to try it out if you're in the area! Maybe you'll have a different experience. read more

If you know me, you know I love soul food. Sweet Potatoes has been a staple in my area, but it hasn't been the same post-COVID. Nonetheless, I will still support the business. My one suggestion is to order pickup instead of deliver. read more

I had the whiting and herbed fries and really enjoyed it. I tried the banana pudding as well and it was just ok to me though it does remind me of Magnolia Bakery's banana pudding. I'm not a fan of bananas that aren't candied in banana pudding. Others in my party had the chicken strips and chicken and waffles. Both said they tasted ok. I'll visit again to try more. Update: I had to up the stars, I visited again a few more times and the food is so good and has been consistent. I was able to try the mac n cheese...omg heaven on a plate The fried shrimp is excellent too! read more

Sweet potatoes has been the go to soul food spot for me during quarantine. Every time I order from Sweet Potatoes I get exactly what I ordered and it is always delicious. All the sides are on point as as well as the main dishes. I always get the two meats option. There is a down side . I spend at least $35 dollars when ordering for myself at sweet potatoes. As much as I love this place, I cannot afford to make it a take out staple. But the food is delicious and I can eat it for several meals and when I want a real treat I order from sweet potatoes because they ever disappoint. read more

Great food, lots of options and I recommend allot of them. Only wish the restaurant side was bigger cause it is a tight spot this place is a must try. Ambience is comfortable but nothing too fancy read more

I ordered on Uber eats from the Bronx. I got a whiting fish combo plate with candy yams & baked Mac as sides. Honey... this Mac & cheese was Seasoned, cheesy & on point! It was the only thing I enjoyed. The fish isn't seasoned much and it isn't appealing to look at. This is such a bummer for a soul food restaurant but maybe I experienced this because it's late at night and they were closing. Idk. It's not worth ordering twice. In my opinion but try the Mac and cheese if you're in New Ro. Uber ended up giving me a courtesy refund for this. read more

The chicken and waffles were bad. The chicken was just crunchy. Not a good way. It tasted so overcooked there were too many bones. It was so bad and the waffle was there. There was nothing on it.

The apple cobbler was cold and just tasted funky And the mac & cheese was hard it didn't feel soft and it would just didn't have a good cheese flavor read more

Not sure if they've changed cooks since we've found them last year but everything is greasy, just seems thrown together. Sadly sweet potatoes has fallen waaaaay off, even our children who used to beg for this food hardly recognized it's new low quality. Each dish taste the same, like the oil hasn't been changed, just disgusting. The cook is Spanish, not certain it's black owned, way too much money spent for such low quality food. My entire family of five were extremely disgusted and disappointed, pack this place up! read more

I ate here with my daughter for Mother's Day. If you want a home-cooked southern meal, this is the place. It felt like my great-grandmother from Alabama was cooking in the kitchen. I had catfish, potato salad, collard greens, cornbread, and sweet tea. We decided to dine in and although the space was limited, it didn't matter. It was clean and I had the best time. It also comes with yellow rice that was underneath my fish. That was a nice addition to my meal. If I lived up here I will come here often. read more
