“Just got back from a thoroughly enjoyable meal at Shaw-naé’s House on Van Duzer. The sangria was plentiful, the food was fresh, hot and tasty, the wait staff attentive, and the ambience was perfecto (my wife sang to ALL the songs!). Too full for dessert, but I was eyeing that peach cobbler! Next time!“

“Stopped in for lunch ordered Chicken & waffles Chicken seasoned & fried pefect Jerk chicken was falling off bone & had a perfect spice the Mac & cheese was perfect as well the customer service was quick & she was very professional & welcoming will definitely recommend & will return absolutely no complaints“

“The food is AMAZING! The portions are generous, it's packaged nicely and it seasoned to perfection. This place is small, far from being fancy but the food is AMAZING. This place is literally five minutes away from my house and this is the first time I've ordered from them, it definitely won't be the last time...“

“I got the sticky wing platter with collard greens and mac n cheese. I would give 4 stars. The sticky wings were flavorful on the surface. My friend got the catfish sandwich platter, yams and green beans. She stated the same thing that the food could have been more flavorful. Overall a good experience. The owners/cooks were friendly and let us sample some items to help us decide what we wanted. Would like to come back again and try other menu items. Oh we sampled the fries w/parmesean garlic sauce, that was sooo good!“

“The food is everything! The jerked wings are amazingly perfect, steamed cabbage is cooked the way I luv it, & the mac & cheese, OMG just like home, so cheesy. We drove down from PA just to try Shawn's Table! We choose the food & look thru Google, read reviews & go for it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent choice!

“The last time I tasted Jollof rice of the caliber made here was in a local spot in Lagos, Nigeria where it is made in iron pots and cooked with firewood. I don't know how they did it, but it beats every jollof rice I have had in the US so far. I ordered it with chicken for my birthday party and it was a hit. Everyone wanted to take some rice to go after the party.The chef is also the kindest and most personable individual you would ever meet. She added extra portions and a little something on the side to commemorate my birthday and helped me drop off the food too. She has a customer for life.Thank you for the top notch food and over-the-top service experience.“

“I love the brothers that run this place they are so nice and the food is slammin! Try the oxtail!!!“

“Came in for a smooth pickup in the time I was told my food would be ready! Ordered the whiting with the two sides and it was the best I’ve had, cooked and seasoned perfectly! Thanks Monai’s… Nate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Parking: Parking lot has plenty of space on Sunday!“
