Lufti’s Fried Fish & Chicken

Nice location, ample parking. Friendly staff, great selection. When I was unsure about what I wanted, they whipped out the samples. After my selection they brought out an extra side of okra, some hush puppies, and some greens. I haven’t had greens like that since the old days. Also, if you have somebody in your group that is on a diet, no problem. Enough selection here to take care of that. The catfish is to die for, too. Two stubby thumbs up!

Roomie’s co-​workers (my past co-​workers, I use to work there too) was ordering this before starting work. As, I usually drop my roomie off a lot (she likes having a chauffeur), I was invited to ordering a plate.
I was told the special is usually catfish. ummm… what use you got? I am not a catfish fan. I ended up being the odd one out and getting orange roughy. It was great and I tore it up. Most said their catfish was good too. Now the sides are a different story. There was variety ordered and not one was really pleased with any of them.
So I would say just stick with the fish here.

Lufti’s is some pretty serious fried fish. Went there with a few friends that recommended it and had a blast.
The menu item consist of your typical soul food joint. With sides like red beans and rice and fried okra, you can’t go wrong.
I went for the 1lb fried fish special. (your choice of Catfish, whiting, or tilapia) The fish was perfectly seasoned and fried to absolute perfection. I had mac & cheese + red beans & rice for my sides. Both were pretty good, but not anything spectacular. My friend had a side of fried okra and I found it to be quite awesome.
They also offer fried chicken (as indicated in the restaurant’s name) and various fresh baked cake slices.
The one disappointment here is that drinks are NOT refillable. And considering the price, it’s a real drag. However I am not surprised since the owners of the establishment are Middle-​Eastern. Some can be stingy and cheap. (And yes, I can speak out of experience. My grandparents on my dad’s side were Lebanese)
Hey, I got to take my shots when I can. Regardless, if you focus on the fish it’s a great establishment. I am definitely a fan.
