John's Seafood

Horrible Horrible place!! Super Rude staff and owner!! Paid $20 for a plate of food that doesn’t come with a drink. They refused to give a cup of ice and said the ice was for “coke” only. Will never patronize this place again. Lady that takes orders was very rude and dis courteous. After you pay your money then they tell you that you can’t dine in. Would’ve never eaten their had I known. Two thumbs down and the food is fried super hard👎🏾👎🏾

So, based on reviews, I thought I'd try this out. They take cash only. I'm not sure if it was due to the credit card machine down, but that's what the sign said 'Cash only'. I had to leave and come back with money. The lady with the braids in her hair did not seem as welcoming with me as she was with other customers. I don't know. But I had called in my order and got exactly what I had asked. It did NOT come come with type of special tartar sauce. I was just given the basic, some ketchup and regular tartar. Fries were not seasoned. Catfish was on point, and the shrimp was okay. However, I was not as impressed. This mimics Mary's Chicken and Seafood, and maybe even the other John's Seafood on Linwood avenue. I was wanting something that was very set apart from all the rest of the seafood stores. Not saying it was good, but it wasn't anything different.

This place was better than I expected. The lady was real nice. I don't know how this place isn't packed at all times. When I first showed up there was one person in line. So I thought this wasn't going to be good. I ordered the 2 piece fish and 6 piece shrimp meal with a side of fried rice. Very good. Was impressed and would recommend to anyone. I sat and ate my food in the restaurant instead of taking it to the hotel and throughout my time there, there was consistantly a flow of people coming in for take out meals. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they only accept cash. No cards.
