Hands down for the food. We ordered whitefish and chicken gizzards ... both are fantastic!! Well be coming down here often even though we live in Holland 👍🏻😊
Absolutely delicious fish, we got the cod and it was really good. It was busy but worth the wait. I know we will go again. The picture is what was left over from the 3 piece cod dinner.
The Bomb Food. This is the Large Catfish Nuggets Dinner. 2sides and a Pop. My sides are, Fried Okra and Fried Mac and Cheese 🧀 Triangles. Gotta go if youre never been. #TRUSTME
This was my first time here. I was skeptical at first because I am picky about my fried food but I had the 6 pc tender basket and was very impressed. Staff was friendly as well.
Want to give them a five, just takes way too long 😕 but the food is solid and tasty
We love the different types of food they have my husband loves there Cat fish and for me shrimp both dinners.❤❤💃💃
Amazing food and a great value! However I wouldnt recommend coming here at night especially if youre alone
Over all great food and flavor. I do however think there are a few things that would take your food and restaurant to the level of perfection you are capable of .-Make your own sauces in sauce cups the whole packet thing is not only annoying but the flavor is basic on your awesome food .- chicken legs need to be crispy all over it seemed to be under battered-oh and lose the bread . Go with rolls biscuit corn bread bread sticks any thing but white bread slices.Loved the lemon pepper seasoning , I highly recommend the fried shrimp it was by far the winner of the meal . Staff was kind patient and hard working.
Good service, good food, reasonable prices, and great indoor and outdoor atmosphere. Its always busy which is a great indicator of a populasyun gathering place. Hats off and well done to the owner, servers, and cooks. I am a regular and supporter of the business.
Although I do enjoy their food, the size of the wings leave something to be desired. They are so tiny.
The fish and rice was fresh but the chicken wings tasted like it was fried in burnt oil
Tasha is amazing, she goes above and beyond to assist each and every guest. She knows her guest by name and memorizes thier favorite orders. Over all the food is a 4 stars, depends on the day and whos cooking. But I love thier variety of selections there is food for everyone.
Called the first time, on hold for over 6mins. Hung up and tired again, on hold for another 5mins. Tired the On-line ordering, had a wait for 35mins before I could pick it up. Once I was there, got the feeling they didnt drop my order, waited another 20mins before I got my order. They do have signs that they are under staff and orders will take some time.
I really like their food! Service is good. The seating area was a bit chilly. They let you check the food is to your liking before you take it. I had the smelt meal came with fries, coleslaw (sweet) and 2slices of bread. I could do without the bread but I am going to guess others like it. Prices are reasonable. I recommend ordering from here anytime you have a craving.
For somebody that works at a food grade facility, you cant have food and beverage out on the shop floor. for me to call the restaurant ahead of time to have them prepare my food for the meager 20 minute lunch but I do have for them to tell me yes they will drop the food immediately for my 10 minute drive there theres no reason why I should have had to get there in order for them to drop my food I understand people call and then dont come get their food but I come there consistently faithfully and I always go back to work late getting points on my record because of it Im not having it today.
I just want to say thank you to the staff, because Oh my goodness. It stay busy and I can just imagine dealing with the rush everyday. My food hasnt been bad either. Thank you again!
I used to love this place but after about not eating it for 2 years now and just having it again today, it tasted okay. The seasoning which i loved on almost everything they made now just tastes salty and made my food not enjoyable. Overall it was lackluster.
Great old school place with good food. Prices were pretty cheap. Hard working folks.
More than enough food for Id say, 2 poss 3 meals(for me that is). The only negative aspect I found in the meal, for myself once again, was the spiciness in the rice &on a cpl pieces of the fish which was delicious. The price for the meals was adequate.Ty
Absolutely a must try if you come visit Kzoo!
I dont like fish at all, and I have found that even if I dont like a type of food they have mastered the right seasoning to perfection.This place is the best place on earth and everyone knows it.
The secret seasoning they put on the fish is great!.
I think, to be fair, I need to give Fish Express another try to accurately rate them.I had not been here before and I went at night. Their parking lot is not well lit and I was confused if it was a walk in or drive through only.I figured out that I had to go in.The lobby was very hectic. A guy showed up not wearing a covid mask even though its clearly posted that you must wear one.He gave the counter a hard time because they challenged him on it.When I got to the window it was difficult to hear, but I placed my order.You have to show I.D. if you are using a debit or credit card.Apparently some of their clientele have ripped them off by using stolen cards.The lady forgot to give me my card back, so I had to ask for it.Because everything is made to order there is a wait.Rather than wait in the lobby (which is forbidden) you go back to your car and wait about 10 minutes then come back in to pick up your order.Everything was hot and correct. They even open the styrofoam containers so you can be sure youre getting what was ordered.The fish was good and a large order of fries is a significant amount.They ask if you want seasoning or ketchup or tartar sauce, etc.It is a little pricey. Two orders of fish and a large fry was between $ 18.00-19.00.I would like to go back during the day when things are a little slower and try them again to see if my visit was the norm or an aberration.
Told us 15 min, we waited in the car in the parking lot and returned in time. Our food had been sitting and was no longer hot. They need a better system. Not a lot of food for the amount of money, the chicken wings were TINY; they must use sickly chickens lol we wont return.
Service excellent, food tasty and pleasing to the eyes. Would recommend going there, Ill be back whenever I can. Also clean environment.
It was slow and short of staff...food was decent doe
Welcoming. kind& Patient order help. . Food was superb
The staff does not smile, they are rude and the fish is not cooked right. Also they have too many customers in the lobby, I kept bumping I to people and the staff does not wear masks, havent they heard it is a pandemic. This place needs to be shut down until they get it together, apparently the health department has not visited the premises in a while.
There was quite of a bit of the wait after I ordered about an hour or so but it was bush as well. Had to wait outside because the max was 4 ppl inside at a time. Food tasted good though, I recommend it with their seasoning on it.
This business may not be in a upscale neighborhood, but the food and service is top notch. Best gizzards around. My go to for chow when i come to Kalamazoo. (100 mile round trip).
These new owners, theme to keep fresh clean fish. Ive been going there all winter and Im expecting to go all summer and this spring. I love it with that extra space they put on or without. So far Ive been eating the catfish which is delicious, now Ive switched to perch and shrimp, they to taste fresh and clean. right now for a fast-food they get five stars even though it takes him 10 to 15 minutes to get your order together its delicious. And the time they take to prepare my meal allows me to know that they care.So far my experience with the workers, that help has been Pleasant.
Three cat fish and three chicken wings more than 1 hour
My first time there..it was worth the wait..
I absolutely love this place! The crack wings are phenomenal! I make it a priority to come here every time I come into town. This is not necessarily a dine in place but there are a few tables where you can sit and enjoy a quick bite. The service isnt the best but it also isnt the worst. The food makes up for it for sure, hence the 5 stars!!!
For the food i would give 5 stars. the food was great. it was crispy, well seasoned, fried to perfection, and the portion sizes make it a great value. the workers in the back were friendly and courteous. i am giving my THREE star review because of timing. when u order your food online or over the phone for a future time it should be ready and waiting for u to pick up. THAT IS THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF ORDERING IN ADVANCE. I get that things can be backed up (blame covid or whatever...) but when u have an order 2 hours in advance there is really no excuse to wait 20 minutes for your food. if u cant make orders on time then do away with your online and over the phone ordering. having these options available to customers gives them the false idea that they can do a quick stop for their food. this was the second time i have eaten here and both times was an online or phone order. both times i waited about 20 mins for my food. the first time i was actually late for work...waiting for food i had already paid for. the second time i arrived 15 mins after the pick up time to avoid the wait but still had to wait about 20 mins. do they not drop the fish until u come to pick it up?second reason dor the 3 star review: they have no diet soda. i realize that this food is by no means healthy and is an occassio nal treat....but my wife is a type 1 diabetic and cant have the sugar. they have no sugar free drink options (that im aware)in conclusion: my suggestions are to have a pickup window (either inside or drive through) for online or phone orders. people who called in orders hours in advance dont like waiting in line for multiple people who dont know what they want to make an order on the fly.if this isnt an option then do away with online and over the phone orsers so people will know they eill have to wait since ordering ahead is useless. lastely, please buy a case of diet when u do your purchasing. doesnt hsve to be a lot but it wouldbe nice if u had some on hand.other than having to wait and limited drink options...the foos is very good and the people are nice.
Good food, friendly service. Just not real quick getting order together when you call ahead.
This place has went down. Placing an order online is pointless. Called my order in at 4.26pm and was told to arrive in 6min. I gave little extra time b4 coming to avoid a wait but still had to wait 30 min after I arrived to pick up my food. I usually tip for good service (although it was a call in order) but not this time. I was late picking my teen up from work waiting on food that was not even that great. Never will I call in again. Better off placing an order in person for quicker service.
Delicious food and great service...even being short staffed
This place is the bomb the food is delicious. The store is clean. The staff is friendly. One day I was having a migraine and they even offered to turn down the lights for me super nice! Id recommend this place to anybody is so good! If you love fish then you will love pretty much anything on their menu.
Ive wanted to try Fish Express for a while now. I grew up in the south and love a good fish fry but really havent found anything like that in the areas near me. Having heard that Fish Express was that place I would find that missing satisfaction I had wanted to try it for a while now. My kids and I were passing by there yesterday at dinner time and we all agreed fish sounded really good. We ordered at the drive thru then had to wait in the parking lot for it to be ready. The place isnt fully open from the pandemic restrictions so this was expected and wasnt a problem. It was totally worth the wait. I got catfish and my daughters got tilapia and Whiting. Everything was absolutely incredible. The only thing generic feeling was the coleslaw. It tasted like GFS stuff, which is fine, but really, thats the closest thing to a criticism I have. Everything was so delicious and reminded me so much of the fish I ate growing up in the south. Prices were very reasonable. We all agreed we will most certainly be going back.
Maybe you dont realize your online menu advertising food at 5 for pollock7.59 for codThen when you call its not correct then it changes to 12
Chicken wings with extra crack seasoning is phenomenal! Hush puppies, fried pickles, and catfish also great choices!
We called our order in and still had to wait a half an hour for our order which was bland and untasteful! Will never go there again and wouldnt even advise anyone to eat there! Sorry but that was 30 dollars thrown out the window!
Over greasy food. Waited 45 minutes for my food. They are under staffed. And the food was nasty. Throw it away after two bits. Waste of money
Great food as usual. Love it!❤️😊🙃😎
Super fast and efficient at a busy time of day. Those girls are sweet and they work very hard, great job. Catfish dinner was on point with the crack sprinkles lol.
Great food, but slow. They were very busy, which I understand, but if you need 45 minutes, dont tell me itll be ten.
Oh wow delicious food. Friendly service. Hands down great shrimp and catfish nuggets.
Omg from all the fish places weve visited this one is by far my ABSOLUTE favorite. Its a whole in the wall Yes but the food is on point, flavors popping, the staff was polite and friendly. Love it love it... Food was so good i forgot to take a picture. Had the catfish nuggets and chicken gizzards with hushpuppy and jalapeno popper..wildwood fruit punch
Just like J&J or Harolds in Chicago. The perch was cooked just right, and the fries were amazing! Just dont go here if youre in a hurry, my order took nearly 30 minutes. Otherwise, a solid spot for fried fish and chicken
Wings are straight 🔥 make sure you get the seasoning (lemon pepper)...Catfish dinner good...probably some of the cheapest wings around...where can you get a whole wing for less than a dollar each? Exactly!!!!!.....love this place...
I did an online order which this makes the second time when I get there at the time it says it done I have to wait a additional 10 minutes and then the fish and fries are cold along with the cold drink. I don’t know what’s up but they are slacking off a lot, especially when your community starts to talk. That’s my opinion. I won’t be going back there no time too soon.
Food was good ! I always like them tho. One thing if u want really crispy fish like me you have to ask them to cook it longer. If not it will be mushy not crispy by the time u get home.
Use to be good here... ordered over the phone a week ago and it was pointless, they did not have the order ready and when they did get it ready the got it wrong! The food is lousy here, it made me sick! Dont eat here if you want a correct order and value your health!
Pretty good fried fish. Customer service was nice. Dining area is in disrepair. I dont think they have a customer bathroom or maybe its not marked. Not a place to take a date.
Complete failure. Called ahead and told order ready 6 minutes. Paid for order and told its another 2 minutes, no problem but turned into a full 12 minutes. Asked why I wasnt given the order when it came up on counter. Told other people had to be waited on. COLD fish is not my idea of good meal. Worthless place, do not go here...
Good food but the building needs a new paint job. Dont let the outside put u off the food is good.
Great fried food, helpful and patient, first time, had to read the menu( I ma foodie!) got the combo, fish and chicken SO much food!!! and it was good!!! $10 and your good for the day!
I thought the Pollock was a little thin and overcooked. The breading on it was delicious and the french fries were pretty good I like those. That was the first time that Ive been there. I will go back there again and try something different off the menu.
This place is amazing. Wanted to try the catfish, and they really came through. Nothing like this anywhere else in SW Mi. The staff was friendly and helped us with our order, since we didnt know the menu or the options. We will definitely came back for more, and try more of the choices available
The food was good, but they put lemon pepper and dont like it.
Awesome and very nice food 😊
Its okay. Its gone down a lot since it first opened and had different managers. The chicken Id very very bad and has do many feathers and it just tastes gross. My husband had gotten food poisoning from it before so I steer clear of the chicken. Catfish is alright. Its just not what is used to be.
Food is amazing, service is amazing. They did forget my slaw but things happen of course! The servings are huge for the price. Highly recommend eating here by far the best chicken is kzoo.
The chicken was under cooked the table walls and floor were drity and the staff was rude and disrespectful. I will never set foot in there again. I would not recommend any one eat there. Whats disrespectful is you not taking this review seriously. And spread ing gossip about some young girl.
Very affordable no-frills seafood place. You arent going there for the ambiance and the food doesnt disappoint. Catfish so delicious you dont need sauces, and this is from someone who refused to eat fish without tartar sauce. You get free soda with every meal and the fries are SO yummy and generous I actually had to ask for extra cole slaw instead because I was getting full on it and couldnt eat the fish. Only gave 4 out of 5 stars cos the place does look a little rekt but once you get over it you will become a regular after the first meal. Just delicious.
Very busy crowded place. Not enough workers to handle all the orders. Food was cooked in bad very old grease.
I was very please, I placed order and was there about five minutes and received my food in very timely manner. Our food was very good (Good job!!!).
The fish was soo good.!
Awww yes the amazing fish express. I love their food its always fresh and consistent. Their customer service is pretty good considering some of the people they have to deal with.
Great food. Comes out fresh everytime and the waiting times are short. I always get the catfish nuggets. The Whiting is also great. I also like it that you get a free pop with you order.
The cashier did not clean up the mess she made after putting extra seasoning on chicken. She took other customers orders, at least 5 people and then took a break with the mess still on a counter near the cash register.
Ive been to Fish Express before and I had a alright experience enough to make me come back but this last time I got there maybe 45 minutes until close you have one worker in the back throwing pots of rice all over..... he was mad ready to go home, it was on a Friday night. I did not get what I ordered and my food was not correct then when I said something about it the cashier got mad and said well do you just want your money back I will not be returning
Wonderful food, generous portions, friendly staff. Might be at the top of my list for takeout food if it was closer to where I live. The catfish is my favorite-moist, flaky, and full of flavor.
My favorite place for some fried chicken! I think its the secret seasoning that makes it so delicious! Just wish they had the seasoning to sell to customers .. I hear its available in Grand Rapids!? Price is right for the serving size :)
I love Fish Express. Make sure you ask for extra seasoning! They have a large menu and offer the best fried fish in town. Also, it’s a better experience if you call ahead and order.
I Went to get some good fish and instead I got Some BAD Smelling Spoiled stuff that was called whiting, who would have thought that anything Called Whiting Could Smell So Bad, guess it is because of the New management With people who dont have Good taste or An Accuit sense of SSmell It was Nasty!So if you want Suspicious fish With The Smell of a Caucasus Then Fish Express Is The Place.
Grateful food and excellent service
If youre into hole-in-the-wall fish/shrimp, it doesnt get much better than Fish Express. Super affordable, great portion sizes, and delicious recipes. The wait was a bit long and parking was cramped, and I will say that you definitely dont pay for the atmosphere, but thats not enough to knock off a star with how much I enjoyed my meal.
The ladies at the counter were very nice and I enjoyed them, however the wait for a call in order was outrageous. And the catfish nuggets honestly are nothing to write home about, mostly breading with very little meat. Idk im just used to better from the east side of the state
The best fried food in Michigan!!! Seriously!!
I enjoyed the food. I love that they cooked your food fresh! No heat lamp! Great prices for a lot of food! My fish and shrimp were cooked to perfection!
I like the food, cashiers are typically nice. even when I call ahead my food is never done and for someone on the go like me I need to be able to just stop and go. good food, good deals
They answer the phone. Put you on hold and never come back to the phone. I tested this theory twice. The second time it wasnt even busy. Food was ok.
My fiancé went in this place to pick up are food mind you went preordered, They told us it will be 20 minutes we came my fiancé He sat for an hour no one asked him did he need assistance have you gotten his food nothing they forgot about are food they told us it will be 20 minutes we came my fiancé set for hour no one asked him did he need assistance or have he gotten his food nothing they forgot about our food. My fiancé is a nice person so he didn’t really speak up like he should have but I call and said we were in Waiting an hour or whatever and he should have the offer a refund or a free meal ticket for the two meals that I bought. They barely wanted to give a free meal and then Proceed to tell me he should have asked for a refund if this is a place of business and you forget about one customer you make sure that one customer gets the best business after you messed up. What should have happened was you should have told him I am sorry that we forgot about your food I’m on to give it to you for free today and that would’ve been the end of it. However we will no longer be buying food from Fish express I have lived here all my life and never had a problem until now and they are in business they are busy so there’s no way you should not be able to refund one customer that YOU messed up their money back or at least equal free meal for what they paid for. They will never receive our service again.
Food is good however, I always call and order for pickup and they give you a time but they really don’t start making your food until you get there. Why tell me 10 minutes and I get there and have to wait another 10-15 minutes. Customer Service is lacking big time.
Great choices of seafood and chicken, hot and fresh. Food was ready within a reasonable time period for a large order. Go easy on the lemon pepper salt for those of us on restricted diets.
Even if you call ahead and they tell you 10-15 minutes, once you arrive you will have to wait another 10 everytime. Allow 20-30 minutes for a pick-up (on top of travel time). The food is what it is...strong seasoning that will make you choke a little after a slight inhale. Most of the traffic seems to come from the local neighborhood. Many will walk to the restaurant. Food is pretty standard for a fish & chips joint. Service consists of the cashier yelling at the cooks, rolling eyes, and hollering out the next order up. If you want great service, try Red Lobster.
My husband and I love this place. The wings are by far the crispiest wings Ive ever had and he always orders the Catfish dinner.
Definitely a neighborhood spot. Be prepared for a wait most times. But the food is fresh and delicious! The area can feel kinda sketchy after dark. Prices are decent, prime are large.
THIS..is my favorite fried food joint in the world. This is coming from a guy that has lived in Florida, Texas, Michigan, Oregon, California, Virginia, pretty much Illinois, and have stopped in over 40 states in America.Go Here Now!!! Once drove 2 hours just to eat here. Perfectly located between Chicago and Detroit.
Good reasonably priced food. Its nice they give you a free drink with a purchase of a meal. Was not expecting that. Nice touch.
Food is great, definitely try the chicken tenders with extra seasoning. Ive witnessed a few customers being combative and was very pleased with how the cashier, Tasha, handled herself. Overall positive experience
The lady couldve been a little nicer she wasnt explaining to me that I need a mask I didnt really look at the sign so I just let it ride but she instantly went from 0 -100 and I felt that was wrong you dont yell at people in business you give them a professional opinion
The catfish nuggets are awesome! I got the small pan ( $20 ) for a potluck, everyone loved them and chowed down on them. I will be getting the catfish again. Excellent fish!
My husband got the cod and catfish combo! The catfish was off the hook! The only bad experience was not being able to call our order in! The phone just rang. If youre this busy, hire someone just to answer the phone and take orders! Good food otherwise!
OMG the catfish is amazing. Looks can be deceiving. From the outside this place doesnt look like much but the stag were friendly and efficient. Look forward to it next trip this direction to try the chicken
One of my favorite spots here in Kalamazoo. I come from the other side of town just to go here. The food is great but the service could use some serious work. I also wished they stayed open a little later.
I absolutely hate that you order they tell you 20 minutes you get there and have to wait another 20 minutes to cook it because they wont prepare it until its paid for. So either dont take phone orders or have the technology to take payments over the phone or online ordering.
First time there drove by there several times before wish i would have stopped all the other times for a large order it was quicker then any major place that u get a burger and fry food was great nice size portions for the money clean service with a great smile ill go back and eat every day
Fast and quick service.and good prices for a bite to eat..
Food is decent. Service was okay. One place I will most likely order from when Im back home..
The jumbo shrimp was delicious and the catfish and perch was delicious the lemon pepper seasoning was off the chain I wish I had two more sets of hands I would give him 6 thumbs up.
Always worth the trip. Food is cooked to order, seasoned very good, great prices for the amount of food you get... I wish they had a location in my city
Great flavor subpar at best customer service fairly priced typical Chicago like food try the rice instead of the coleslaw
Service was slow. We had to wait a long time just to get food that we called ahead and ordered, then the fish was cold
Love the food. Always hot and freshly made every time! 1 of my favorite places to order from.
Mask wearing not enforced! 😠 Overpriced and took almost 3 times as long to get ready than first stated, (was told 15 minutes waited 50 minutes).
The food was excellent. They gave us a big piece of fish.
Their Fish and Chicken are really good. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend this restaurant if youre looking for amazing Fresh Fried Fish.
Best fish joint in southwest Michigan. Consistently good. Ive been going there for 8 years. Rough neighborhood. Get it to go.
Amazing restaurant. The fried food is absolutely delicious. It doesnt take much time for the orders to arrive depending on what you get, but the wait is definitley worth it.
Delicious. The only place in Kalamazoo to get your fish fix.
Customer service was outstanding. Food was tasty as usual
Before i could order a csr came and asked me why did i have a mask on he said you got pneumonia? I told him i was sick😷 and i didnt want to get anyone else sick. He then said i thought you were going to rob us. Im not that desperate. I can not laugh because Im sick. 😷 😆😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great food very addicting love the smelts, coconut shrimp, wings ,cheese sticks ,okra. I havent tried the catfish yet. Lol
Great fish! Moderate portion of food for price. Place could use a makeover; its been open quite a few years.
Love love their food, good portions and its always hot, staff is friendly and quick, please bring back the jalapeño ranch, you never go wrong with the catfish.
Great place for fish and chicken! No matter what combo I get, it always seems to have catfish in it!! Prices are great and portions are fantastic.
Food is great. Prices are great. They stay super busy , but the line moves real fast. The building is not the nicest in the world , neither is the decor. But the place is clean.
The fish is fried perfectly and is seasoned to perfection. The prices are reasonable and they give you plenty go eat. You will not leave hungry.
The Spot is Right Here for the Price it was worth the waiting call Ahead and give 10 more mnts if you got a big order.
Amazingly well done. The real deal. And the crew is friendly and efficient. Thanks so much! First time but will definitely visit regularly.
They have amazing food and even with how busy they got they had our order ready almost exactly when they said it would be ready definitely will be back love it love it love it!!!
Fish is always krispy my husband loves the chicken wings and the fried okra. yumm
I heard this was the place to go for delish fish, but I didnt even make it in the store, from the out side appearance to the wait time to the parking, we just ended up shopping a the grocery store.
You cannot beat the price, and the quality of their food is deceptively high. Easily in my top couple of choices for fried chicken and fish!
Great food, great prices, great customer service if you can get past the area its in, its a nice place to pick up some food.
This place need better management the lady that run cash register talks to you so bad i canceled my order because of it didnt feel comfortable at all
Their chicken wings are delicious, but what they say to be catfish doesnt look or taste like so. Its not nasty or anything, but a lil mushy tho
When Im in the zoo I have to hit this spot up me and my family favorite spot when we are visiting Kalamazoo.
Busy place and I can see why..good food at reasonable prices. Plan on half hour wait on weekends
The food is always delicious I just wish someone would bleach the heck out of the floors and walls. Not a very clean place to sit and eat. Always order to go!
Service was good. Food was prepared in a timely fashion. Restaurant was clean. However, the food was very greesy. It seemed that the oil should have been cleaned.
Food is good but something needs to be figured out for promoter service waiting 36 minutes in a car for a order that was well in advanced called in is insane
Go there regularly. Best taste of chicken and cat fish is dope. Its not expensive at all and their recipe is better than KFC.
I love this place!!!!! Always great food!!! One of my favorite places to get food from!!!
The best fried food in kalamazoo, my opinion tho... can never go wrong with this place.Food is perfect.. keep it up yall.
Great fish give them a try if you havent your missing out.
I usually get fried shrimp and they give you plenty. The chicken is all pretty good though especially the tenders. They could give you more fries but it is what it is.
Best catfish ever!!!🥰
Excellent food. Can get a little pricey depending on how much you get but its worth it for sure.
One of those neighborhood spots. Good cheap fried food. Chicken, fish, fries, fried okra etc. Serving it all up with chicken crack on top. Always get the extra dusting.
Hopefully they will get two locations maybe one closer to the south side good food decent price I just wish thw food would be ready when they say it is and they delivered or did business with MR. Delivery
The hush puppies were perfect! The cook the food when it is ordered, so plan for 20 minutes or so if you order chicken thighs.
They never disappoint me. They always packed but my good is always fresh and good. Thank you
Very very nice prices love. Love catfish sandwiches alot l can eat them everyday.
Food always taste great and the prices are very reasonable. Rather its the food, the interaction with the customers or the employees, youll leave smiling or laughing.
Doesnt exactly pay to call order ahead. You still have to wait. Dont hurry be happy 🙂
Food is good, fairly priced. Wish they had fountain drinks. Great place to get your food to go.
Love them food is always good but they stay with attitudes especially when you ask for extra seasoning
This restaurant is one of best restaurants in Kalamazoo for fried foods, wings, prawns, gizzards and tilapia are best in the restaurant. The seasoning makes the food fabulous.
Had a big order for my sons open house, went in and placed order on Friday for Saturday, it was all set HOT and READY to go. Thank you FISH EXPRESS!!!👍👍👍
Greatest hospitality and food
The Catfish is very good, the chicken is also good, if you visit Kalamazoo MI check it out....

2022-05-05I ordered my food paid 15 dollars and was told it would take 15 mins to cook. Within 2 to three mins they called me back up to the window to get my food. Come to find out they gave me some old food that had been sitting . It was the worst food . It was cold and dried out . When I called to make a complaint , I was told that they would have a manager call me . So far no one has called me. Avoid this place at all cost. They were close down a few years ago but the health department because of hand sanitary health issues and roaches.

2020-12-07The Cat Fish Fillets are just the absolute best!. They always make it fresh and it literally melts in your mouth. The staff is good and attentive. Its always best to visit during the day time as the crowd gets a little shady towards the night.

2022-02-17A not so hidden gem close to downtown. Perfectly fried perch, jumbo shrimp and fries. Seasoning is just right. If you like delicious fried fish, theres no where better in Kalamazoo.

2019-06-18This food is amazing. The restaurant is in the neighborhood so be prepared for lots of local flavor. The food is amazing. The place is run like a machine, they are slamming food out just as fast as people can order it. Everybody knows their job so if you go there dont screw things up. Have your order ready when its time to make your order and dont stand there trying to make your mind up. Also, always get the seasoning. I got the two piece catfish combo with fries. Its easily some of the best catfish Ive ever had. Ill have to go back and try something different. Dont be scared off by the exterior, or the clientele, or the atmosphere. Get your butt in there and get some food, you wont regret it.

2019-12-08Good little place and buy do they do a lot of business here. A nonstop line of people coming in and out the whole time I was here. Place us small worn and a little drafty, but food is good and a value price.
