Shaw-nae’s House

You know that saying "when you're here, you're family", they don't play around at Shaw-nae's. From the moment you walk in, till you pay your check, you're family. Our waitress Jennifer was amazing, explained the menu very well and was extremely attentive. We ordered the catfish tenders and the sugar daddy wings for appetizers. Amazing. How she was able to capture the waffle in a wing is beyond me. For dinner, we got the ribs and jerk chicken with rice. Amazing. Everything was delicious. We even met Shaw-nae herself! We were too full for dessert. We will definitely be back. You need to come here!

Tried Shaw-naé’s House after a long wait and the food lived up to the hype. The fried chicken wings were the highlight. The batter is very thin, and even after being coated in sauce, the skin stayed crispy instead of turning soggy. It’s not crunchy because of a thick crust, but because it’s fried really well. The sauce leans sweet, with notes that reminded me of maple syrup and cinnamon, which may be a bit sweet for some, but the texture and technique were excellent. The oxtail rice was also very well done. The meat was tender and flavorful, with just a slight black pepper kick that balanced it nicely. The BBQ pork ribs were soft and cooked properly, though the sauce again leaned sweet. Service was friendly, and everything felt carefully made. Definitely a place worth trying if you appreci

We had the BEST night out here in Staten Island!! Shaw-nae’s House not only had mouth watering food just but also the cozy atmosphere with VIBEY music made the whole experience a 10/10. The Sweet Potato Cheesecake is by far the best cheesecake I’ve ever had and it had such a perfect balance that just absolutely melted in your mouth. The oxtail fell off the bone and the flavors were just absolutely incredible. If you need a comfy, delicious night out COME TO SHAW-NAE’S!!!! A special shoutout to Jennifer for taking such wonderful care of us. The staff were so friendly, and gave incredible recommendations. We also had the opportunity to meet Shaw-nae in the flesh!!! Thank you to everyone working tonight and THANK YOU SHAW-NAE.

We trekked from Brooklyn to SI on the coldest night of the year so far and omg it was worth it! The restaurant was chilly on the inside but I ended up taking my jacket off after having a bite of the food because I just felt my soul warming up. I guess that’s what good soul food is supposed to do! We got the jerk chicken with rice, ribs & fries, and a side of collard greens and Mac n cheese. The pork ribs and Mac n cheese were MEMORABLE. If you like a sticky sweet sauce with ribs that fall off the bone, order this. I included a photo so you can see the chiaroscuro happening with the glaze. The Mac n cheese was gooey and crispy in the right places. If you enjoy macaroni pie vs the Kraft Mac n cheese, you’ll enjoy this. The complimentary corn bread was a really nice touch. I almost wish we

I mean, I truly do not know where to start as I have no words to describe this experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were right at home. And!! one of the young gentleman had called us earlier to let us know our table was ready, very nice! Jennifer was our amazing host and off the bat she came through with some amazing complimentary cornbread that was out of this world!!! We were so excited about trying the food that it took us a while to settle on something but thankfully Jennifer explained the whole menu and had some great recommendations. We had the sugar daddy wings and on my goodness, I will be dreaming about those! For entrees, we had the oxtail and the chicken sandwich, both were incredibly fresh and had amazing flavors. We were then blessed with Shawnae’s presenc
