This was supposed to be my first review lol. Man this is probably the best soul food spot in Jamaica Queen that's still left landing. I love a good old wings dinner with Mac and cheese and yams and a butter cake. One of the ladies behind the bulletproof glass is naturally mean so don't take it personal.

Chrysanthius I live in Brooklyn and everyone knows i will travel anywhere to get good food, I love the Stewed Brown Chicken Lunch Special you get meat with 2 veggies. You can't beat that for under $8.00. and I can make two meals out of it. The have the best homemade fresh cakes for $3.50 a slice ( large slices). The catfish is the best I've tasted so far. I love the potato salad, I usually call my order in and it is usually ready when I arrive.

Maxine's has been a life saver on more nights than I can count. Once you become a regular, it's second nature to order before you're starving because it's about a 45 minute wait. This isn't the place for "fast food" but definitely the place for fresh food on a budget. I highly recommend.

One of my favorite little places when you are craving some good whitening fish, you must stop here!! The Blvd. always puts there foot in there cooking!! I love the fact that when you order the fish it's made to order so it's never just sitting there, it's always crispy and fresh!! The flavors of the fish is simply juicy and flavored to perfection!! My favorite side I typically get is the collard greens!! Which just by itself you can get full off of!! The macaroni and cheese is good as well.. If your craving some soul food/ comfort food this is a must try spot!!

Was craving for fish and chips. My husband brought me here after Covid vaccination as a treat. It is a great choice. I was happy with my food. The service is fast, we did not wait that long for our take out order. The pricing for whiting and fries order is pretty dope. Fresh fried and delectable. Seasoned to perfection.
