Bed Stuy Fish Fry

OMG!! I arrived in Manhattan from Cancun and was starving for Soul food. My Foodie friend recommended Bed Stuy Fish Fry in Brooklyn. I hopped on the train to their downtown Brooklyn location and was surprised they didn't have sit down dining. No worries though I was told there was a special through Uber, buy one meal get one free. You know I love a deal. I ordered Oxtails w/rice & peas and collard greens. But wait there's more I was able to order Baked Mac & cheese with Candied Yams all for the price of one meal. The oxtails were tender, Baked Mac & cheese was cheesy, greens were not cooked with pork and were delicious. I had enough food for 3 days!!I definitely will return to Bed Stuy Fish Fry when I return to NYC. Sorry I wasted no time on the Oxtails and forgot to take a picture

The food was pretty good overall, but the ordering process could be clearer. When I entered the restaurant, there were three staff members positioned in different spots--one at the end of the counter, one in the middle, and one at the register. Naturally, I assumed the person in the middle (stationed in front of the food) would take my order. However, because I ordered catfish (which isn't one of the pre-prepared proteins), I had to place my order with the cashier instead.While I was ordering with the cashier, another person stood beside me and started talking to her. They spoke in heavy accents, so I couldn't understand their conversation to determine if it was food related or if they knew each other personally. Either way, the professional thing to do would be attend to the customer in front of you. To make matters worse, the cashier never told me my total after entering my order, so I had to ask. After paying, I waited about 15 minutes for my food to be ready.I ordered the catfish (fried--I would've preferred grilled, but the cashier didn't ask, and I forgot to specify), mac & cheese, and yams. The catfish was good, and the yams were delicious, but the mac & cheese was just okay. I also tried their tuna salad, but I didn't care for it. It seemed like it was missing something, possibly red onion. Lastly, I had the peach cobbler, which was disappointing. It was dry, and the peaches weren't sweet or syrupy as they should be. I wouldn't order that again. I had their half & half to drink which was also good. I wish there were different sizes besides just a 16oz, because I would've ordered large.

Ordered the oxtail plate to-go. It comes with two sides and I got the rice & peas and cabbage. The oxtail plate came with 4 pieces of oxtail, but they were big and had a lot of meat on them. I would like that the fat was more trimmed on the tails. The gravy had a great flavor! I would have wanted some gravy on the rice. The cabbage cooked perfectly (not too soft). I enjoyed the meal and would definitely eat it again. I also tried the greens on my hubbie's plate and those were really good. I actually liked the collard greens more than the cabbage, but can't go wrong with either.

I visited this takeout-only soul food spot, which serves cafeteria-style. While I enjoy the food, the service leaves much to be desired--staff can be rude and argumentative. Unfortunately, the experience isn't always worth the frustration.

This Bed-Stuy Fish Fry is the best of the bunch in my opinion. Go when it first opens. Food is super hot, well seasoned and delicious. This is a business district and I believe the chefs here go the extra mile with their food preparation to serve the famished City Employees. The staff is almost pleasant, might I say, nearly nice. Today I ordered pickup online- a BOGO order of salmon and shrimp bites over fried rice. I got there early and I was tempted to add to my order because all the dishes looked sooo good. I ended up getting an order of the crab cakes. These crab cakes are perfectly made with REAL lump crab meat and they're big! I could eat here for lunch every day. Looks like take out only for now. Good stuff!

Absolutely delicious food! I've been here a few times over the course of the past couple of months. There's so many great options to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed the salmon, oxtail, crab cakes, fried shrimp, and whiting for entrée items. As far as the sides are concerned, I've indulged in the candied yams, cabbage, mac and cheese, potatoe salad, macaroni salad, and mashed potatoes. Even the blue velvet cake was incredible. Can't wait to come back here for the salmon, shrimp, and wings for entrées. It's important to be patient when ordering here due to short staff. Also, note that you're likely to spend a minimum of $20 when coming to eat here. This is a takeout restaurant, do not expect to come here and dine in; that's not an option.

I was walking by and smelled the delicious seafood. I walked into a very clean and brightly lid restaurant. In terms of seafood, they mostly offered salmon. A salmon plate - a sizable piece with two sides is $35 and fried catfish plate - two pieces with two sides is $16. I echo everyone here who has said it's overpriced. It doesn't help that they don't have a menu with prices anywhere in the store. I got the crab cake plate - two cakes with two sides. The crab cake fit completely into a wide spoon. They were real lumps of crab meats. After tax and cash discount charge, it was a bit over $30.

Food was delicious. Ordered Mac and cheese and fried chicken, both of which really hit the spot. Everything in the steam table looked really good. Glad to have this place in downtown Brooklyn. Customer service was lacking, they did not want to honor my colleagues two for one deal they were advertising in the restaurant.

Do yourself a favor and please go here! The food is always so fresh and so flavorful. The chicken is cooked perfectly; moist and juicy! Genuine soul food that makes you feel all good and warm inside, comforting! The side items are OMG good, they all taste homemade. I honestly cannot say enough great things about their food. Nicely sized portions too. Some of the best Mac and Cheese I've ever tasted. I have only ordered delivery so not to familiar with the service but I have heard great things. BOGO meals on Uber eats! Great location if you are working or shopping in Downtown BK. You will not be disappointed.

I will never ever return to this location. I am a frequent customer and their food is good. However the customer service is horrible!!!! When placing an order, I asked an employee for assistance, followed their guidance and when it was later discovered and acknowledged the employee made an error, the location refused to honor a $2.85 price discrepancy although I offered to pay the difference. I was calm, cool and collected but inside I was boiling as I thought about all of the support I have given this business. They definitely need customer service training!!!!!
