Chef2TheBone Fish Fry & More...

I'm from the South. I have to admit it was pretty good. Little different from what im use too. But it was good. The hot sauce was good. It is pricey compared to what I pay for back home. But you do get a lot of food. Prepare to wait 20 + min for your food. It made to order.

The cheese fries with blackened shrimp on top is FLAVOR TOWN ALL DAY!! They make their own cheese sauce and have a variety of other sauces you can have on the side. The hot sauce is very flavourful. Okay, now the catfish was fresh and crispy! Honestly, you can taste the freshness. The fried shrimp got devoured. They make their own juices. Quava is crack in and the other flavors did not disappoint. Service is top-notch. Friendly, patient, informative and ready to serve. It was a great experience.

This was my first visit to this restaurant. I ordered the fried catfish with fried okra. I gave it 3.5 stars because they have been out of collard greens for 3 days!!😡😡 Also, they did not have Louisiana hot sauce or tabasco sauce. What they gave us was something that tasted like chili seasoning. 🤮I tasted my sister's mac & cheese, and it was dry and grainy. On the plus side, the catfish was piping hot & well-seasoned, and the fried okra was very good.

What a wonderful experience. First, the Beautiful lady at the cash register was awesome (hey, I think she was the owner😉😊). She greeted us with smiles and made us feel immediately at home. Now The food was great 🤔 actually it was ✨💫SuperCALIfragilisticexPialidocious💫✨ 😉☺️ it was/is awesome. Thank you and I will return with friends. So if you are in Corona, Ca you want some great tasting Fish and Stuff check them out @Chef2TheBone

Whenever you try a new place to eat you are really (for lack of a better phrase) rolling the dice. I have to say this place is as good as it looks in the pictures if not better. You get WAY more than your money's worth. Everything was so delicious. I will definitely be back

I am completely amazed. I loved everything about this eatery. From the food to the atmosphere. It felt like we were at my auntie's house. Even the fellow patrons were hospitable. I can't remember the last time we enjoyed ourselves this much.

Wow! How am I just noticing this place!!??! small business Saturday shout out - I ordered the fried shrimp and fries, but next time I’m definitely going to get a Poboy!!!  absolutely delicious! Crisp to perfection. Hot sauce it was really good as well. Definitely be sure to ask for that! The environment overall was clean and peaceful and presentable definitely will be back.

First time coming here, and the food was delicious. Great service food was hot and ready. The catfish was delicious. Shrimp was 🔥. They have plenty of different sauces, so make sure you get you some. If you're in the area, stop by. Thank you.

When I'm craving a Good season fish I drive all the way from LA it's so good highly recommend everyone here is so friendly especially the cashier I believe her name is Chavé

The fish was great. The service was outstanding The place is clean. They had a hot sauce that was to die for.

Me and my fiancé wanted fish and found this place from a TikTok review. From the moment you walk in you can feel the hospitality. I ordered the whole shabang and it came with shrimp, fish, fries, and a side. The Mac and cheese was backed with flavor and the cheese was perfect! I am picky with my Mac and cheese. My fiancé ordered the shrimp and fish with fries. He got the Carolina bbq sauce on his shrimp & it was chefs kiss BOMB. I decided to go plain to test the flavor of the fish. Personally, I like a little more seasoning, but it wasn't bad. After asking for the Carolina bbq on the side, it made it all better. I highly recommend trying it out, there's not many fried fish spots in the IE so it'll definitely do the job to get your fried fish fix.

If you're looking for something that will comfort you and just feed your soul, don't look any further. We ordered cat fish, shrimp and some chicken. Everything was fried perfectly. The coating stayed well and did not fall apart after biting into it. The Mac and cheese was perfectly seasoned. The collard greens was not my favorite but it was well seasoned as well. The person helping us at the counter was really nice and explained everything to us as it was our first time there. There was a a good amount of seating, Only downfall was it was super hot. They had 2 a/c boxes but didn't seem like it was cooling the place off. Definitely would order again to try the other items but would take it to go.

Food was good and the owner was very sweet. Her name is Cha've. I hope I spelled her name correctly. The menu is straightforward and the pricing is doable however I wish the portions for the dessert were slightly bigger for price on dessert. Other than that it's pretty good.

I used to love this place. When they were new - Fried fish is one of the best! But now- we ordered and their fish fillet is super skinny, super deep fried and can't even taste fish. Quality went down.

Food was amazing and the service was top notch! Friendly people and clean environment. Loved it!

In a word...great! We drive from San Diego to get food...yes! I love the fish and they prepare to your taste buds...

The atmosphere nice and cozy and food smells lovingly, good music, great customer service. Speedy service, good portion size, great price!

Absolutely solid 4. Ambiance is open space & clean. I enjoy the bold color themes in the decor. The service was really good for a small spot like this, it was very attentive even for refills on water. The best thing here is the shrimp and grits, I'd say it's the best in SoCal. The catfish was fried so nicely & the sauces were perfect. The only dish we got that needed something extra was the crawfish salmon fries. The salmon was a tad on the dry side and needs a kick whether spicy or zesty. My whole group all got extra shrimp and grits to go

IJS...My opinion...My review..... Got the clarion call, had to stop by and support this business. The owner was so sweet, had an opportunity to pray with the wife. God has his hands on them and they are elevating up. Check out my photos, I had a good time with the cheeszzy Mac&Cheese, Green& hush puppies. Shrimp was saucy and good. Tried that special sauce. Stop in an support Corona's Fish2TheBone My opinion..My review..IJS

Just went today! Food was excellent! The Mac and cheese was delicious! Real cheese. The lady who i assumed was the owner at the front was so welcoming she made you want to come back. My boyfriend was sooo happy he finally found good collared greens. The main dish i had was the Gumbo fries with shrimp and crawfish. Oh my goodness. So good. There was not much indoor seating so would recommend maybe separating tables during busy times. It was pricey but fresh fresh delicious food i would definitely return. I didnt try the fish.

The owner recommended The Whole Chabang, we got the red snapper, with hot sauce as our dipping sauce. It was good and done perfectly. The place is clean, just a little bit hot during the summer. Service was great and food came out pretty quick. We will definitely be back!

I was down in So. Cal for the day and this place was recommended. The young lady that took my order was pleasant and professional. I ordered blackened salmon that came with rice pilaf and coleslaw. I requested to substitute rice for fries. The atmosphere was pleasant. The wait was about 20 mins. or so. Salmon was seasoned well. Great service!

I tell yah, one thing I love about my hometown of Corona is that there are places here that are small business owned and runned with some delicious food that really you can't get anywhere else! Chef2thebone, everything on their menu is so good! You gotta try the chicken strips! Omg! With their in house made sauces. So good! The mac n cheese, what can I say? lol! Definitely a hidden gem! Service and the ambiance always good here!

2nd time getting fish and chips and was delicious! Great menu with a nice variety of food and drinks. Owners and people that work here are all very friendly and nice :) Also I really love how the restaurant is decorated, the walls are super cool to look at! 10/10 would recommend!

Went here on Sunday. I had the Whole Shabang which came with Filet of Soul and shrimp, French fries and one other side order, I got the collard greens. The fish and shrimp were seasoned and fried to perfection and the greens were pretty good. They make a homemade hot sauce and the tartar and cocktail sauces were very good. Service was great and very accommodating. We were very hungry and forgot to take pictures but next time!! Please support this great small business!

Food so yummy I forgot to take photos. First time trying this spot and it exceeded expectations. Happy to see a black owned and operated business. Got the Whole Chebang with sole, greens, Mac, potato salad, hush puppies, and okra. All of it was good. Shrimp and fish were still crispy after a 15 minute ride home. Shrimp were a good size. Great seasoning. Really flavorful. Fries were super good too! Mac is on the garlicky side, greens lean more towards the vinegary, potato salad has peas and peppers, okra is okra, and the hush puppies are good and crispy bite sizes, quite dense and packs a punch off flavor. It was all great. No complaints. Food did take a minute to come out but I don't mind waiting at all for goodness. OMG and the banana pudding. Heavy of on the cinnamon and nutmeg. Gives it a unique taste but works really well. It'll definitely add inches to your waistline. Also got the cheesecake but too full so haven't tried it yet. Really good stuff. Will definitely come back.

First time here and it was an amazing experience. First impression walking in, everything was clean, not cluttered, fresh, easy on the eyes. The service was great! The young man was patient with us as we asked questions before ordering. The food was sooooo good. It was hot, well presented, extremely tasty. Proves were good, portions were nice.

Food was great but their prices are very high. It seems they try to offset it with specials during the week but what about the customers who come on weekends? People can only pay so much before they go elsewhere .

Outstanding! If I didn't live in Orange County this place would be a problem. But you can bet that when I'm in Corona or passing through to get to Riverside I'm stopping for lunch. Loaded fries and Catfish are in my Dreams.

Food was Mmmmmmm-azing. Service was top teir. The chef is the back with the dreads is really doing his big one in the back. The atmosphere was very welcoming as well. I will definitely be coming back.

If you're looking for authentic down home cooking the southern way, this is your place. The fish and chips were done to Perfection with a delicious cornmeal batter. The seasoned fries were delicious as well. Both the Red Snapper and Catfish were delicious. Very generous portions as well. We will definitely be back.

This place has come a long ways! I remember the first time I tried them they were just a pop-up I came across in a Facebook group and they set-up shop in a parking lot along University drive in downtown Riverside. I went to support and wasn't at all impressed with what I got-I didn't even finish it. Fast forward, they got a brick and mortar. New additions to the menu, yet, I still wasn't really impressed with the food, everyone else online seemed to love em tho. My brother happened to be one of those that are okay with the place and had been raving about their new salmon fries. One day as he was leaving somewhere to get some food, I joined him. Didn't know where he was going 'til we were halfway there. As he parked to order, I figured wth, I'll give em another shot. I must say, these fries were pretty good. I was expecting the typical loaded fries-beans, cheese, pico, sour cream with your choice of meat-but these were different. The fries weren't too hard or crunchy, but just right and seasoned well on their own with some Cajun type seasoning. It's loaded with crawfish and salmon, plus some type of cheese that worked really well with everything-it was a really good cheese. Didn't expect to end up so full but it was really filling. In addition, I ordered the fish with one side just to see if their fish got any better-I ordered the snapper. To my surprise, these were fried really well and also a better portion of fish-the best fish I've ever had from here. Only complaint is that it lacked seasoning. Happy to say that this business actually seeks to improve and do better and that this experience proved that. Would be willing to go back and see what other dishes are better than I remember

The food was really good. The service was great, but the prices were just a bit high. I would go back again however I'd purchase that day specials. Only the combo platter I got I believe was around $30 or more. That's a bit pricey for one person.

Excellent, friendly staff that feels like home. Loved the catfish and shrimp; juicy and fried to perfection. Portion sizes are HUGE and completely annihilated the Mac and Cheese.

If you're looking for great fish, shrimp and sides Chef2thebone is where you want to go. The fish is prepared perfectly and seasoned very well. It's best to place your order online so you don't have to wait.

Finally got the chance to try this place out and they did not disappoint. Their fish fry tasted exactly how my mom would make it back home, and she's from Texas. I got the cat fish, shrimp and fries with one of their house teas. A little pricey but I do feel like you get what you pay for so no complaints there. The man who helped me was very patient and easy going, making my first experience smooth. It's a very quiet location, with a fire ass playlist! Hahaha 10/10 recommend eating here

Stopped by today to pick up lunch. Expect to wait, as food is made to order; or order online prior to arrival. Food is consistently good, and I recommend getting the bang if you're indecisive. It comes with fries, fried shrimp and your choice of fried fish (snapper, sole, or catfish). I also recommend getting their hot sauce, which is a great accompaniment to their food... Employees are friendly and courteous as always, and the restaurant is clean as well. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available.

Stopped in for lunch. Got a Shrimp Po'Boy, French fries and a side of Collard Greens. The food came out fast. Less than 10 minutes. The fries weren't anything special, just your average good diner French fries. The Po'Boy? Tastes great! Reminds me of NOLA... fully dressed, flavors hit just right. It's not a negative at all cause the sandwich is good, but I wish the bread was a little crispier personally. The greens are juicy, sweet, a little salty and savory. Nice large dining area to accommodate your party. Can't wait to come back and try everything else!

This is by far the best the best Po'Boy spot you can find that's not in New Orleans!!! I've tried many places in SoCal but I have yet found an authentic version like the ones in New Orleans until I tried this place!!! Their shrimp Po'Boy was an absolute delight! The sandwich was packed with perfectly fried shrimp, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The shrimp were generously portioned, ensuring every bite was flavorful and satisfying. The bread was fresh and had the perfect amount of crunch, complementing the shrimp beautifully. The addition of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and a tangy remoulade sauce added a wonderful balance of flavors and textures. The seasoning was spot on, giving the sandwich a delicious Southern twist that truly stood out. Overall, the Shrimp Po'Boy at Chef2thebone is a must-try for anyone who loves seafood. The combination of high-quality ingredients and expert preparation makes this dish a standout. I can't wait to go back and enjoy it again!

My first visit to this location had me going there for the "PoBoi" sandwich. But in my disappointment the bread man did not show up. So got me a meal and was overall satisfied. The amount for the money was

Omg the shrimp and fries were the best I've had in a long time. Just enough batter fried to perfection fries perfect crispy but soft inside. The cherry cucumber limeade AWESOME refreshing I will be back soon

Thank you so much for the great service and delicious food. My son is the QB at Cen10 and stops by as often as possible for the good eats. Thanks for fueling him and always encouraging him! Dana Catalano

The food is good! And I preordered and it was ready on time! However I noticed the lady preparing the food not only had acrylic nails but she didn't wear any gloves while putting together other orders and she was reaching for items and her shirt was touching the food.

Good friendly customer service. Clean environment. Loved the decor and 80s-90s true R & B music playing at a comfortable level. Ordered 2 catfish (9/10) plates one with fries other with house potato salad (7/10). Portion sizes were good enough that I saved one piece fish and half potato salad for dinner. Catfish was well seasoned but not overbearing with batter. I could tell that the potato salad was house made and not store brought. Highly recommend checking this place out and I will go back one day to try the shrimp.

Ok so been wanting to try this place since I moved close to the area. The good: the young woman behind the counter, excellent customer service. I asked for fried medium, good job done with that. The sauces suggested, don't know the names but delish. The bad or mire like fixable: the shrimp and fish lacks flavor. The fish/shrimp without the coating, no flavor, the coating no flavor. The greens too sweet. The cherry cucumber limeade watery and can't taste any cucumber. Now with that said, if they add more flavor to the food, reduce the sugar in the greens and spruce up drink.....this will be a great place for me to go too!

This place has really good food. My family and I have tried the shrimp, fish, grits, Mac n cheese, potato salad, hush puppies, fries and peach cobbler cheese cake. Their housemate hot sauce is bomb! Everything was great. We have been back a few times for lunch and dinner. It's a small place, They do their best to keep it cool with fans and a portable A/C unit. Staff is friendly.

One of the best Po'boys in the area. I actually get the Mo'boy which comes with fish and shrimp and it's delicious. They make homemade sauces which you can add to your sandwich. You also get to choose the fish you would like on your sandwich. Both the fish and shrimp are delicious. They also offer free refills on soda. They were out of greens when i went, hopefully next time they are available.

Great service! Food was amazing delicious. And amazing greeting. Will definitely go back for more fish and collard greens.

Food was amazing taste so good!! The inside smells so good nice and clean with good music. I was greeted with a smile when I walked in, my daughter and I both had the shrimp plate with macaroni and cheese, everything was so good we went back and ordered the blackened salmon, and OMG its was sooooo good 10 out of 10

5 Stars! Dined at here last night, and it was fantastic! The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented--I highly recommend "The Whole Chebang" The vibe was upbeat yet relaxed, perfect for any occasion. Overall, Chef2the bone exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to return! This evening was truly incredible! I had the pleasure of meeting over 20 remarkable women, each from diverse professional backgrounds. We shared our journeys, connected deeply, and enjoyed a wonderful evening of fellowship over dinner. This was my first time attending the nationally expanding event, Women Over Dinner, and it exceeded all expectations. We laughed, shared stories, and built friendships that I know will last a lifetime. I can't wait to host the next one and continue fostering these inspiring connections!

Absolutely fantastic customer service. We were greeted when we walked in the door. Recommendations and explanations about the menu items were spot on. The food was out of this world flavorful. Excellent portion sizes. The house made sauces were all delicious! We will be back to try more of the menu items. Blues music playing in the background was a real nice touch.

Food was pretty good, better than expected. We ordered the "The Whole ShaBang- 3 pieces of catfish, fried shrimp, French fries, & a side (mac-n-cheese), also ordered 3 pieces of catfish with a side (fried okra). Fish, shrimp and okra were fried to perfection, seasoning was on point. Mac-n-cheese was good (shells shaped like sea shells. Excellent customer service. Ambiance was nice with oldies playing in the background. It's worth spreading the word.

I Love this place. Their food is Delicious. I have never been disappointed with the food ive ordered. Their staff members are friendly and courteous. Again i Love this place. If i lived down the street i would be a frequent customer. The restaraunt is always clean. I have recommended it to friends. I have brought friends to Chef2the bone. I will continue to patronize. I will continue to spread the word.

Ok what I liked The service was AWESOME!!!! The place was clean too. The Fish by itself was good. The have a Cherry Cucumber Lime drink that was so favorable. Ok what's not so hot.... The Po'Boy bread was too Doughy.....Not sure what that sauce was that was on it, but their spin of the Po'Boy sandwich was very different. I ate half but took the fish out of the other half and just ate that. They make their on Hot Sauce..... I'm sorry, but I need my Louisiana Blend... The fried okra was good, but I like mine a little harder so I don't taste the mushy okra.... I suggest go.... Your palate might differ from mine.... I really wanted to give 3 1/2 stars because they're more than a 3 but not quite that 4..... enjoy!

First time here. A bit hard to locate but once you see it, it's right there lol. We ordered the whole chabang with catfish and shrimp. Catfish was spot on. Hush puppies and shrimp were.great. hot sauce is to.die for. Will defintely return. Greeted with a smile and friendly workers.

Great location just north of the 91 on Main st in Corona. From Riverside that's helpful. Plenty of strip parking on this Friday. Bright, friendly decor and bright friendly, helpful waitstaff. We waited for the group to assemble before we went to the counter, one of the ROMEOs overshot by a mile or two. That gave us a chance to review the menu. I was drawn to the Bang- fish & shrimp with fries. Big plump shrimp cooked just right and catfish cooked GBD. A Friday lunch treat. My brothers had everything from the whole chabang with sides of greens and Mac n cheese. A couple of Morboys and the table was satisfied. There was a debate about the sauces offered. I loved the hot sauce, tartar and cocktail sauce one of is thought the hot sauce was too vinegary. They even had free refills on the lemonade. I had to get a box to take half my order home. Pro tip, It airfried really great later. Food-5 Service-5 Value-5 (worth the 91fwy on a Friday afternoon.) Retired Old Men Eating Out.
