Ethel & Annie Mae's Soulfood Kitchen — Restaurant in New York

Made it back to NYC for the first time in 3 years and stopped by Ethel & Annie Mae's Soul Food Kitchen because the owner told I should. Let me tell the first thing that stands out is how clean everything looks. Her signage is clear and we'll written you know your in a good place. The service was on point. Now the most important is the food. We ordered The Shrimp Po Boy, Crab and Lobster Mac n Cheese. My partner ordered a turkey burger which he loved. He stated you would be surprised how many people mess up a turkey burger by overcooking it and he felt the one at Annie Mae's was soft and juice and he really enjoyed it. I would say to anyone in the Crown Heights area or you should just travel to Crown Heights check out Annie Mae's Soul Food Kitchen and make sure that you talk to Chef Danielle she's always there and I'm going to tell you the food...

Came here on a Sunday, and there were no customers inside, that should been the first red flag for me. It was a little early, about 3:30pm and I was ordering take-out so I let that slide. I will say the lady who took my order was nice and patient while I figured out what I wanted to eat, and I phoned my sister for another order while there. I got catfish, yams, collard greens and a side of potato salad for myself. The catfish was tasty at first bite, then I pulled it apart and noticied some parts were pink and uncooked. I was given two pieces and the second piece was not edible. The yams were okay, just canned and drowned in maple syrup, the greens were also canned and not seasoned. The potato salad was surprisingly good though. I don’t know if I just went on a bad day but I wasted $46 in total...

WOW! The food was delicious, exceeded any expectations, service was great! I am so happy I stopped in for dinner.

I got the Jerk Salmon - mouthwatering delicious, perfectly cooked & flavored

Coconut Rice & beans - perfect coconut flavor, rice was cooked just right

Collard greens - very tasty

Mac n cheese - soooo goood! It was the perfect ratio of macaroni to cheese

Dessert: Nana’s pudding & I’m so glad they weren’t sold out because it was the best I ever had. It was nice and fluffy, right amount of cookies and bananas.

The portions were generous as well and the packaging kept everything from mixing and spilling.

Inside was very festive and decorated for valentines, great music! This is one of my new favorite restaurants.

Overall everything was perfect &...
