Description
Longtime regulars return to Harlem specifically for the catfish. While the seafood and wings generally win points for seasoning, the kitchen draws mixed reviews. Some visitors praise the creamy mac and cheese and flavorful fries, while others find the yams lacking or the batter bland. A notable detail for takeout: fried fish and shrimp are packed in plastic containers, which can trap steam and leave them soggy. House sauces range from a thick, marinade-like jerk to a popular chipotle sauce. Service is generally described as just okay, and portion sizes can feel small for the price.
