You know that saying “when you’re here, you’re family”, they don’t play around at Shaw-nae’s. From the moment you walk in, till you pay your check, you’re family. Our waitress Jennifer was amazing, explained the menu very well and was extremely attentive. We ordered the catfish tenders and the sugar daddy wings for appetizers. Amazing. How she was able to capture the waffle in a wing is beyond me. For dinner, we got the ribs and jerk chicken with rice. Amazing. Everything was delicious. We even met Shaw-nae herself! We were too full for dessert. We will definitely be back. You need to come here!

Tried Shaw-naé’s House after a long wait and the food lived up to the hype. The fried chicken wings were the highlight. The batter is very thin, and even after being coated in sauce, the skin stayed crispy instead of turning soggy. It’s not crunchy because of a thick crust, but because it’s fried really well. The sauce leans sweet, with notes that reminded me of maple syrup and cinnamon, which may be a bit sweet for some, but the texture and technique were excellent.
The oxtail rice was also very well done. The meat was tender and flavorful, with just a slight black pepper kick that balanced it nicely. The BBQ pork ribs were soft and cooked properly, though the sauce again leaned sweet. Service was friendly, and everything felt carefully made. Definitely a place worth trying if you appreciate well-executed soul food.

We had the BEST night out here in Staten Island!! Shaw-nae’s House not only had mouth watering food just but also the cozy atmosphere with VIBEY music made the whole experience a 10/10. The Sweet Potato Cheesecake is by far the best cheesecake I’ve ever had and it had such a perfect balance that just absolutely melted in your mouth. The oxtail fell off the bone and the flavors were just absolutely incredible. If you need a comfy, delicious night out COME TO SHAW-NAE’S!!!! A special shoutout to Jennifer for taking such wonderful care of us. The staff were so friendly, and gave incredible recommendations. We also had the opportunity to meet Shaw-nae in the flesh!!! Thank you to everyone working tonight and THANK YOU SHAW-NAE.

We trekked from Brooklyn to SI on the coldest night of the year so far and omg it was worth it!
The restaurant was chilly on the inside but I ended up taking my jacket off after having a bite of the food because I just felt my soul warming up. I guess that’s what good soul food is supposed to do!
We got the jerk chicken with rice, ribs & fries, and a side of collard greens and Mac n cheese.
The pork ribs and Mac n cheese were MEMORABLE. If you like a sticky sweet sauce with ribs that fall off the bone, order this. I included a photo so you can see the chiaroscuro happening with the glaze. The Mac n cheese was gooey and crispy in the right places. If you enjoy macaroni pie vs the Kraft Mac n cheese, you’ll enjoy this.
The complimentary corn bread was a really nice touch. I almost wish we got savory cornbread as an appetizer and sweet corn bread as a dessert chaser (we had strawberry cornbread, sweet potato cornbread, and strawberry cornbread).
Jerk chicken was just ok. It was tender and well cooked, but I wanted more of that smoke/spice. Collard greens are a must order, just to have a little greenery on the plate.
Staff was warm and polite Ms. Shaw-nae made an appearance and hugged me and my husband! I was star struck
Overall, worth a hop, skip, and a jump!

I mean, I truly do not know where to start as I have no words to describe this experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were right at home. And!! one of the young gentleman had called us earlier to let us know our table was ready, very nice! Jennifer was our amazing host and off the bat she came through with some amazing complimentary cornbread that was out of this world!!! We were so excited about trying the food that it took us a while to settle on something but thankfully Jennifer explained the whole menu and had some great recommendations. We had the sugar daddy wings and on my goodness, I will be dreaming about those! For entrees, we had the oxtail and the chicken sandwich, both were incredibly fresh and had amazing flavors. We were then blessed with Shawnae’s presence as she checked in on us. What an amazing woman, it was beautiful to see how connected she is to her roots of staten island and how much she pours back into the community. She also prayed over us and it brought me to tears but I had to hold it in. I mean when I say we felt like family and i’ve known them for years is an understatement. This place makes you realize we are all here on earth together, why not pass time with beautiful people?! Shawnae, you are doing something incredible and I can see God’s work moving through you, God bless you all at the restaurant. Truly a one of a kind experience

Found this spot on TikTok and Google while searching for good soul food in NYC, and it did not disappoint. My friend and I came for dinner and were greeted right away—staff was attentive, warm, and welcoming. Our waitress Jenn was amazing, walked us through the menu, gave great recommendations, and went above and beyond. The restaurant feels cozy and homey, like your aunt or grandma’s house. We ordered rum punch, soul fries with catfish, smothered turkey wings, collard greens, a crispy chicken sandwich, and banana pudding—everything was 10/10. The complimentary cornbread sampler was a great touch. Loved the intimate, uncrowded vibe and even getting to write on the walls. This is officially our new dinner spot—definitely coming back next time we’re in the city.

Impeccable service delivered by the folks at this lovely establishment. I would HIGHLY recommend coming here if you like good service, good music, amazing food. From the minute my wife and I walked through the door, we were embraced with hugs from the owner and seated very quickly (we had a 5:15pm resy).
If I could kidnap Shaw-nae for a day, I just know I’ll be well fed. She really put her foot in this food. Amazing cuisine!!!!!

We visited Shaw-nae’s house as part of our trip to NYC earlier this year (July) and it was one of the highlights of our trip!!
Shaw nae immediately welcomed us at the door and all of the team made our anniversary meal so special. The food was some of the best we’ve ever had – true soul food in a cosy, homely restaurant – everything we had was 10/10 no notes!
The staff took such incredible care of us and were so kind and attentive throughout.
A must visit place if you’re visiting NYC and super easy to get to from Manhattan via the Staten Island Ferry. Thank you so much Shaw-Nae and the team – see you next time! Xx

Shaw-nae’s is amazing. From the punctuality, to the servers, the atmosphere, and even her coming around to thank everyone for coming and enjoying the food. Truly an incredible experience. Literally the best shrimp I’ve ever had. God bless this business for its an example of how you should be treated at every restaurant.
Thank you Shaw-nae and Jennifer for an incredible experience.
