My husband went to Roy’s to pick up dinner. He ordered me crab cakes, mac and cheese and potato salad. The crab cake was soft and mushy because it wasn’t cooked and dripped oil! The mac n cheese look like oils soup! I’m so disappointed in the food and whomever was in the kitchen! If I find a way to post pictures, you be able to see the visual.

Ordered on doordash and they forgot a whole order of fish on top of that the food wasn’t even good. Not a lick of any seasoning on the greens. Crab cakes nasty. Whiting was okay. Would’ve loved to try the Catfish they forgot. Shrimp was probably the best but the order was cold so whatever

The other day I ordered, Roy’s Fish Fry, for lunch. I ordered their 2pc Whiting w/ String Beans and a side of Mac n Cheese. The lady who took my order was really nice, and she also threw in another piece of fish. The fish was ok in flavor, they were just really small in size. I was extremely disappointed in the string beans due to them being really salty. Could barely finish them. The Mac n Cheese greatly impacts my total score. Not that it was the best Mac or anything, just that it actually had pretty good flavor and texture. The cheeses maybe could’ve been blended a little better, but I enjoyed the Mac n Cheese. All in all, I don’t think I’d try this place again. But if you’re in the Newark area, and looking for some quick seafood, try out, Roy’s Fish Fry.

The food is delicious!! I’ve only had the fried whiting, macaroni and cheese, and collard greens. The fish is fresh, lightly fried and flaky just how I like it. Macaroni & cheese is just cheesy enough and the collards are seasoned well. I wish they would cut them off the stems, though.

I will continue to support and refer Roy’s.

Over fried and under seasoned….next I ordered jumbo scallops they called and said they are out and do I want shrimp I say yes ok…..the shrimp was so hard and over cooked we could not eat them at all…..next it was the sides…. potato salad was so old it taste like the old fridge smell…the Mac and cheese was so old it had no creamy milk or creamy cheese taste to it ….the candid yams were GREAT! the fried wings was cooked in old used grease but it was seasoned so well …..overall …….*********I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN************

Food was okay. Now the two chicken fingers were good. Hot, fat and real chicken meat. Rice and peas was bland. Yesterday rice and peas heated up. Cabbage was healthy.

My parents said they heard the food was good here. I’m a foodie, so I try it and buy for the family. These great reviews must be from the staff or people in the city who only eat Chinese food so, of course the food here is amazing to them. The yams have to have to much cinnamon. Why is there cinnamon in yams anyway? The fish is oily and small AF. If you want delicious fish go to The Stake N Take truck in Bergen St. across from the hospital. The greens are very salty. They have no idea how to make hush puppies. The girl at the cash register with the unhappy disposition said they buy the sweet potato pie. I’m one and DONE. Everyone I know trusts my taste buds. I would NOT recommend this place, if you want really really good food. My parents said, “I wouldn’t eat here again.” My little sister says, “mediocre at best.”

Just went here for the first time while in Newark to buy something unrelated. Decided to Google “Fried Fish”. Went here and ordered fish, scallops, shrimp, collard greens, hot wings, and carrot cake. We just finished everything and enjoyed it all. Nothing was over fried or tough. Everything tasted fresh. I really loved the greens. We don’t get to buy good soul food where we live. This will be our regular spot.
