    Food is legit here. I've been here twice. I am now realizing I never made any reviews.
    My first time here I had: 5/18/19
    1.Hot Honey wings. Perfectly sweet and spicy in flavor
    2. cornbread stuffing (real good)
    3. Whiting with yams and Cajun Alfredo. (The pasta was nice and creamy)
    4. Lobster pizza. It's not tomato based but it was still good.

    Second time 7/18/19

    1.I tasted the Two grilled lobster tails with red rice a tomato based rice which was very flavorful but spicy (so yummy)
    2. 3 pieces of whiting with a side of Mac and cheese and mixed veggies.
    All their food is well seasoned bursting in flavors.

    The food has a wait but it's worth the time. Come check it out whenever you're in the area for delicious food. They give generous portions too

    First time there.  I was not disappointed   We ordered the shrimp and chips, a catfish sandwich with fries, seafood trio with seafood mac and cheese and collard greens.   Everyone loved everything.  

    I will definitely return. The quality and preparation of the food was optimal.   This will be my new go to place for seafood.

    Hello all and thanks for reading my review , for those who follow me , you already know I'm a foodie ...

    A soul food place that serves coconut candies yams  you may think ahhhhh WTH,   Guess what !! Amazing, delicious and different . Must try it. I ordered fried chicken dinner w/Mac & cheese ,greens and side order of the yams & fried  shrimp.

    Fried shrimp - amazing and seasoned well
    Fried chicken - good
    Yams ,Mac & cheese and greens were also delicious , needed to be temperature hot.

    Fried chicken leg needed to be more crisper for my liking , overall I will come again and try other items on menu.... well done Black Nile....

    Good food and customer service.  Owner  personally took orders, greeted and thanked customers.  Portions were nice sized and the seafood mac and cheese didn't skimp at all on the seafood.  Will be back to try more.

    The food here is great. I ordered the catfish and seafood Mac and Cajun Laredo and the fry chicken wings with yellow rice and garlic mash. Every thing was great including the atmosphere late night. Only negative comments would be that the wait time for your food is a little long. Not sure if it's faster if you order out or what. Also the meat portion to me is small but the sides are huge. I didn't know it would be just one catfish and they said 4 wings but it was only two wings in total- 2 flats and 2 drums. Overall the food was great and I would be going back!
