Devin's Fish & Chips New York Reviews
Could kick myself ! Moved out of Harlem and then life happened. Met with a client last week and they ordered from Devins! I had forgotten how great their food is and will ONLY get my fix here! Getting dressed to go there now!!!!
i went there last season but the flavors stay with me. The employees exceeded what we imagined. I appreciate dishes without unnecessary complications. This place serves plainly superior cuisine. I'll definitely come again.
This place is really great. The food is awesome and I got really great service from the guy behind the window even though I accidentally showed up right as they were closing. Prices are incredible as well. Do note that this place is cash only. The only reason I took a star off for atmosphere is because you can only take food to go. No dining inside. I would definitely come again soon!
Pressed for time, my husband asked if I could find a spot that was open late that served seafood and vegetables. I eventually landed upon this place, and my goodness - do you have a loyal customer in me! Let me just say that this is the BEST fish plate I’ve had in the city. Bar none. I’ve lived in NYC for nearly 15 years, and Devin’s Fish and Chips did not disappoint. Somehow, the food travelled so well, and my apartment is not close by. I ordered the salmon steak, fried okra, and sweet plantains. WOW. First of all, the portions were generous. Secondly, the salmon was cooked to *perfection*! Not overcooked, and it had the perfect amount of fat. The char on the salmon skin and the seasoning? FLAWLESS. My husband hates salmon skin, and this was the first time he didn’t share it and ate it himself! The bit of lemon on the salmon was perfect as well. The fried okra was CRISPY. As in, the food was in transit for at least 20 mins. and was STILL extremely crispy. Perfect blend of texture - crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. The sweet plantains were thick and gently sweet - somehow, they had barely any oil on them, and I couldn’t even process how they were able to do that! I typically like my plantain on the sweeter side, so I am going to go in person and see if they have even riper plantains. Regardless, I devoured every last bit of my plate. My husband ordered the salmon steak with fried okra and green beans. I tasted some of his green beans and was so pleasantly surprised! They were slightly crunchy and had a bit of sweetness to them - almost balsamic. So, so good. My goodness, I am *still* dreaming about this food. Not to mention, we also ordered a fish sandwich and we were too full to eat it! But I saved it for lunch and will also go in person to review it properly. From the food portions to the condiments, this place is generous, and that’s such a rare trait these days in the restaurant industry. For that, and for the incredible quality of their food, they have more than earned my business.
I had the fish dinner with green beans and a salad. The fried fish fillets were cooked perfect and also the fresh green beans grilled with garlic were excellent and also the salad. I am impressed with this , because I ordered this through door dash and I am 2 and a half miles away and it was still warm and the fillets were crunchy .The fillets were laid out on top of green beans in a manner that kept the fillets crunchy. Great to know I can order a Great fish dinner when I’m working!
A true gem of Harlem. Some of the best tasting seafood you will find anywhere in the world. The owner is a really down to earth gentlemen who makes for a great business. The food is savory and tasty. The portions are adequate as is the variety of offerings. The seasonings on the food is so delicious and creates a signature touch that is unmistakable Devin’s. It is a small place, so much so that you my not find it if you are not familiar with the area. You may have to wait a bit for your order but they do a good job in getting your food to you quickly. It is well worth the wait.
The food was fresh... The fish are kind of small. But the freshness makes up for it.
Devin's Fish & Chips spot on St. Nicholas Ave has been serving the community for nearly 3 decades. I've know I've been a customer since the late 1990s. Devin's was very popular when they first opened because they had a steamer. Steamed snow crab⁰ legs and okra were my favorites with pink lemonade. Also, the grilled salmon steaks with steamed okra & fresh cut fries with the skin on it. Still a family bznz and a staple in Hamilton Heights,Harlem! It's a small world indeed. I found out over 2 decades ago, we attended junior high school with the siblings back in the 1970s. I recognized one of the sisters and asked if she had a brother, Willie. She said, "Yes, I do. " We chatted for a while.. I'm happy that they chose to stay in bznz despite the changes & gentrification thisv neighborhood has endured over the decades. Congratulations fam@🐠🎣🦞🍚🍛
Good fried catfish and shrimp. I was not a fan of their fries or "chips" as they call them - they leave the potato skin on them. I wouldn't have ordered them if I knew. The selection for sides wasn't the usual, they offer tostones, and some vegetables like asparagus. Decent price for the food, will return but remember not to get the chips.
I paid $21 for catfish, shrimp and fries. The fries were bland with no seasoning and tasted like grease. What stunned me is I only received 1 little cup of tartar sauce for all the food I ordered and 2 packets of ketchup and hot sauce. I doubt I would return.
Food looks good on camera but that's about it. Fish and chips portion was too small for the price. French fries were plain jane. No flavor at all. Taste like wood. Without the shrimp this would have been 1 star. There is no "Devin" there and its not a seafood/soul food spot. This establishment is the same as those fish market places that sell hot food in the back.
So it says it opens at 12 but I’m standing out here and o seee numerous employees come out to get themselves breakfast when the store should be open. It very unprofessional to have customers waiting outside and just walk past with even acknowledging your customers. I’m born and raised in Harlem and I love to support my people but we have to do in Oder to compete please don’t go there lady at register said we don’t need people like you in here. What’s that suppose to mean
First let me start off by staying the workers in the establishment are very friendly. I gave it 2 stars because what I ordered, the taste and the quality. The catfish was broiled and seasoned great the shrimps were sooooooo tiny and over cooked. I felt like I was played with because no way was the shrimp that little. If you decide to eat here get the jumbo shrimp I would assume. I don't even think the pictures does any justice on how small they were.
I recently ordered a catfish, shrimp and Spanish rice I’ve been eating here since I was teen. I’ve to say the food was terrible !! The catfish wasn’t even fresh it was freezer brand. It was so bland I ask the lady was it seasoned well she couldn’t answer she just said her brother likes it idk how. Lack season !! The shrimp had no taste as well the only thing that tastes ok was the rice. Super disappointed I literally threw my food on the ground it was disgusting. Idk who’s worst them or famous definitely have to do better going cheap isn’t it. Won’t be returning smh.
Absolutely horrendous. Ordered over $70 of food and the shrimp was over cooked and tiny. The food was supposed to be broiled, but the fish I got was oily. When I opened the containers it seemed as if the food was just thrown in there with no care whatsoever. Been coming here for years, but I won’t ever come back again. I could understand why they have a B rating on their door, and i would rate them lower if there were a lower rating on here.
Fish was delivered and it’s over cooked to the point it rolls up. It does not lay flat like fish is suppose to and all you feel like your eating is skin. I didn’t have one healthy piece out of the 3 pieces. This place use to have the best fish but of course it must have been sold to owners just trying to cook quick without putting love into it. Maybe ion a Monday their more caring, definitely not FRIDAYS. Rolled fish.
This place was a huge disappointment. The catfish tasted very "fishy" as if it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned or maybe it wasn't fresh. My main complaint was the asparagus. I was given two sprigs cut into tiny pieces, and this was considered to be a side. To add to my disappointment, the taste was sour. How can asparagus be sour? If they didn't have enough to sell, I would rather the restaurant tell me they were out of this item instead of selling me veggies that should have been thrown away. I may give them another try after the pandemic has subsided. Maybe this is hindering them from putting their best foot forward. They definitely didn't make a good first impression.
Sub par service and food quality. Food has no flavor whatsoever. It’s just simple fried food. Do not waste your time here. I rather eat a plate of tartar sauce than eat here once more. The place is also swarming with flies. I’m sure the food health standards are good but the price isn’t worth what you buy and the flavor. Left my tongue feeling dry and bitter.
