I visited Roy's in Linden, and I have to say the food is fantastic! The oxtails and stewed chicken were delicious, and the macaroni and cheese and candied yams were just delightful. Surprisingly, the potato salad—something I usually don't enjoy—was very tasty. The fried chicken wings were incredibly good, and the desserts—peach cobbler, sweet potato pie, and carrot cake—were simply amazing! The restaurant may be small, but it's always kept clean, and I noticed a steady flow of customers. I went there one evening close to closing time, and they only had a small amount of oxtails left, which says a lot about how popular the place is.

I recently visited Roy's on Springfield Avenue in Irvington. I ordered the fried Whiting but was disappointed to discover it was overcooked, and the shrimp was tough, especially for the $18 price tag. The music, while old and enjoyable, was played so loudly that we had to shout to place our orders. Overall, I was not impressed with my experience and do not intend to return.
I ordered the whiting fish lunch special today.. It was horrible they sold me fish skin..They cut one piece of fish skin in half took my $9 and served it to me. I can’t believe that a “business” would serve something like that!!..This was my firstand last time going to that place.. Please don’t go here they take no pride in what they are serving customers!
I ordered the whiting fish lunch special today, and it was terrible. They served me just fish skin, cutting one piece in half and charging me $9 for it. I can't believe a business would serve something like that! This was my first and last visit. Please avoid this place—they clearly have no pride in what they serve their customers!

Haven't been to Roy's since they remodeled. As I have always experienced, the fish was outstanding(not greasy) the Lemon Cake is still delicious. Not to crazy about the hush puppies. I think that they may have changed the recipe.
It was a complete waste of both money and time. The fish pieces were so tiny that you could fit an entire piece in your mouth, and they were fried so hard that it could hurt the inside of your mouth. The only redeeming aspect was
The food is consistently excellent, and the service is outstanding. The staff provide a perfect, energetic atmosphere, making for a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!
I love Roy's, especially their shrimp. Their food always arrives hot, delicious and well packed. The delivery drivers are polite and it's a great job all around.

This is the best place in town for delicious, authentically homemade fried fish at an unbeatable price. You don't need to search any further!
The chicken was DELICIOUS! Took one star off because the fries had absolutely NO salt
