Ensley Seafood Birmingham Reviews
I eat here several times a week and it's always fresh and great and the prices are great 👍 especially when you're feeding the family
I've been getting food here for years and it's still the same, good food and good customer service.
Went through drive-thru and the order was ready very fast! Beef Brisket dinner was absolutely fantastic!! Was hoping to get some Alabama BBQ and this place did not disappoint. First time coming and the cousins are planning on coming back. Just wish I was here long enough to tag along for another meal!! Will look this place up again when come back to Alabama.
Fresh fish and chicken cooked to order, Yay! A nice selection of fried rice dishes and other far eastern cuisine! Yummy to the Yum, Yum! They are fast too!!!
My chicken and fries were hot. Good flavor. The fruit punch drink was super sweet.
The only reason I rated it 4 out of 5 is that, because the food is cooked to order, there is a long wait. Not very convenient if you're on your lunch hour. Other than that food is always affordable and fresh.
They always have the best wings but the last time I visited the Customer service was less than perfect , I was rushed to order then the wings still had a few feathers even though they were deep fried. At least I can be sure it was meat from a real chicken with that evidence. I'm looking for a positive.
They are losing their mojo! We never know when they are going to close. They randomly close at different time and different days. I drive from Pinson and this is a waste of time and gas!
I ordered me and my family dinner from here on a Friday and upon putting my order in and getting to the window to pay and receive the food I always ask for my order to be repeated back to me. The lady at the window did repeat my order but stuff was still missing from my order. I came back days later and the same lady was in the building and I told her about that ordeal that happened Friday and it was like she disregarded everything I said. Then she has a habit of making it seem like she can't hear when you're placing your order... That pisses me off plus the amount of food they give you vs the prices for the stuff you actually order doesn't add up
Very disappointed with my order...this is the second time in a row it was not correct, not to mention that they short change me on my order where a 3 PC fish plate was only 2 pieces cause they took one piece and broke in half make it like 3!!!!! Very wrong of them!!! It really wasn't worth the trip.. they have loss my business.
So, in defense of the restaurant it's fair to say I am a tough customer. I hate eating out because in my experience you never can tell what the hell you're gonna get from these restaurants on any given day. But last night I was called in to cover an emergency shift at work and couldn't stay home for dinner. So on my way in, I stopped at this place and just hoped for the best. Well, NOPE! NEVER AGAIN! These people appear to have a contemptuous attitude towards their customers. And the food is not seasoned. I picked up a plate for myself and my coworker. I specifically asked the guy for ketchup, mustard and hot sauce because we had chicken and fish and fries. The gentleman said "yeah ok". A few minutes later he comes back and hands me my bag out of the window (drive thru), and I drove on to work. Wouldn't ya know, we open the bag at work, and there's no ketchup, mustard or hot sauce. No napkins or straws. No plastic ware (forks etc) either. Nothing. And the food wasn't seasoned. So... Yeah it pretty much went in the trash. I tried to call this business to alert them of this very poor experience that I had from them last night, but they don't answer the phone either. I'll never be back.
I’m allergic to onions got a full plate no meat and I ordered chicken in broccoli beef lo main no scrimp in my egg rolls my rice was brown no vegetables as requested carb rac no crab just mayo I’m so disappointed and would like my money back I really didn’t like that he couldn’t provide me with a receipt angry almost 50 worth of food still in the bag in I’m hungry I wouldn’t give this to a dog never again and they phone don’t work
Ensley Seafood – We Came for a Plate, Not to Be Played.” I wasn’t gon’ say much more… but now y’all done hit a nerve. How y’all gonna try to overcharge my husband like we ain’t got sense, math skills, and receipts ready?! He calmly checked y’all and I peeped the energy switch. Don’t do that. Just because we speak with love and carry ourselves with peace don’t mean we don’t know what the total is supposed to be. We not new to this. We seasoned. And STILL no napkins. No sauce. No “thank you.” Just vibes dipped in attitude and a side of ego. You overcharge, under-serve, and then get confused when people stop coming back. Let’s be real — we ain’t begging for nothing but basic respect. I know y’all got regulars, but don’t forget, your customers are your paycheck. And if you ain’t checking your customer service, you might need to check that grease temperature too. We knew what we ordered. We knew what it cost. We knew y’all was tryna play us slick. But now you know: we educated, we observant, and we not the ones. Ain’t no way you serving soul food with no soul in sight. HEALTH DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO BE CALLED !! 🧾💅🏽 #WeDoMath 🧼🍤 #FixTheGreaseAndTheAttitude
I'm giving y'all one star because y'all attitudes are poor, and plus your store manager tried to intervene in my conversation when I was simply tryna get some sauces that YOU GUYS FORGOT TO PUT IN THE BAG... Me and my wife wanted whole wings fish and fries like you can't eat that with no sauces... And on top of poor customer service..you overcharge me for someone else's meal... If you don't like your job ..just GO HOME !!
Well let me tell yall this place have good chicken but the services is bad the young man that waited on me have a attuned. he as no services training 😉
This is one of those businesses that has been in a community for so long that they feel like they no longer have to try any more. The service has been slow and unfriendly the last couple of times I went there. If you ask for condiments and napkins make sure to check your bag before you leave because they have no problem lying and saying that they put them in your bag already.
To be fair, I’ve had this several times. Simple 8 pc and drink and every time the next day I have the shakes and my stomach is DESTROYED. J Wings and oh yes wings are right up the road.
This place has gotten bad. Service use to be real fast with hot food. Now it's barely decent. I sat in line 15 minutes waiting on food and then get my food and the garlic sauce was old and had a funny taste. My french fries were burnt to a crisp. I will not be returning.
I brought some shrimp and rice last night. And this morning I'm sick. Stomach is upset and I feel dizzy. It had to be the food. Cause I didn't eat anything else. And the young lady at the cash register is very disrespectful and have a bad attitude.
I purchased 2 egg rolls that were fried very hard and didn't taste good at all. I could not eat it so, i gave it to jinx my mom's dog. The staff person was not friendly at all. The station where you get the plastic utensils was nasty. I had to ask for napkins and soy sauce. I will not recommend this place.
