Black Nile Seafood & Soul Food

I’m extremely disappointed with the food on this visit. I ordered the fried chicken with seafood mac and cheese, seafood cornbread, broccoli, and garlic herb rice.
Unfortunately, most of the meal fell short. The rice was hard and undercooked, the broccoli was completely bland with no seasoning or flavor, and while the fried chicken had decent seasoning, it was very soggy. The seafood mac was the one highlight, it had good flavor but the “seafood cornbread” was definitely not as described. It was essentially just regular cornbread with Cajun butter on top, which felt misleading.
I genuinely wanted to like this,especially since we’d been looking forward to trying it for a while but for nearly $50, this just wasn’t worth it. Sadly, I won’t be returning. Order at your own risk.

A bit disappointing considering what positive things I had seen about this place on social media. The honey jerk chicken was super inconsistent; it was uncomfortably spicy for some bites, sweet and enjoyable for some bites, and completely bland in other parts. Most of it was dry. The rice under it didn’t seem too fresh. However, the mac and cheese and coconut yams were very good. Overall, the heart is there but the execution is not.

Opened til 10pm?
Really? And I did confirm with a call.  When I arrived there 8.15 they were already closed and boarded up. Bad business.
Actually when I called i did say I was coming by After work.  Nothing additional was explained. Actually I did  walk into a food pick up building where I saw 2 men talking and noone at the window. I even asked them but they didn't know. Im not confused. You should put clear signage about specific instructions. Since then I been calling and I guess you're even too busy to answer for your customers....

I love to support our black owned businesses. However this is not a walk-in restaurant as it appears on google it’s a virtual restaurant where they serve multiple restaurants and place your food in a locker, text you a code to get your food. I’m not a fan of this type of stuff. Secondly my bbq chicken had feathers On it still. My blueberry cornbread taste like coconut. The yams are made with coconut. The Mac and Cheese was oily and definitely not baked. The only thing I really enjoyed was the stuffing with gravy.

Food was very good. Would definitely eat from them again. A little mix up with the directions but more so Google maps fault. So just make sure to put 1140 Utica ave in your maps manually.
