We had a nice waitress. Not too busy at lunch hour on a Wednesday. The food pretty good.

We loved EVERYTHING about Godfrey’s! Arrived around 3:30 pm, the server was nice and attentive. Purchased the jerk chicken egg rolls as an appetizer. THE BEST, the sauce was immaculate. It was so delicious. Ordered the jerk redfish with Mac n cheese, beans and rice, and cornbread along with jerk shrimp, mixed greens, roll, and cabbage. We enjoyed it so much & had leftovers! Spent around $40 each person. Server does keep your change as stated in other review but that was ok with me. I will be returning!

I loved the food! 4 out of 5 stars but only because the Mac n cheese was bland and a little cold! Seafood egg rolls are for limited time but they are amazing! Fried crab claws, fried catfish, oxtails , cabbage, rice and beans, tacos ( fried shrimp, fried fish and jerk chicken) all was 10/10. My husband and I will definitely be back!
