Signature Sugar Daddy Wings, soul fries, oxtails, and rum punch
"The soul food at this living room-like restaurant on Staten Island is a little different. Your first clue is the basket of colorful pink, yellow, and caramel brown cornbread on top of your table mat menu. Cracked on top but not too crumbly, the squares are studded with things like sweet potato and strawberries." - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman
"Shaw-naé’s House on Staten Island looks like a living room complete with mismatched coffee cups that say things like “Breakfast Wine.” Always order the signature Sugar Daddy Wings drizzled in maple butter and a highly drinkable pitcher of sunrise pink rum punch, and don't be surprised when Shaw-naé tells you she loves you on your way out." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim, will hartman
"People like to say that certain restaurants feel like someone’s living room. But unless those people are talking about Shaw-naé's House—a six-table soul food destination on Staten Island—we don’t really believe them. Inside the ground floor of a clapboard house in Stapleton Heights, people from all over the city sit on couches next to a faux fireplace, waiting for some of the city’s best collard greens, served by a woman who will win you over before you even try her oxtails. Bring a group, get a pitcher of Malibu-like rum punch, and then move on to the chicken and waffles-inspired Sugar Daddy Wings, inexplicably tender oxtails, and perfect collard greens. On your way out, Shaw-naé might tell you she loves you, and you won’t hesitate to say it right back." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"The city’s best soul food can be found in Stapleton Heights, in a restaurant that looks like a living room complete with a fake fireplace, mismatched mugs, and a sign that reads, “everything is possible.” Your host is Shaw-naé Dixon, who flits around blowing kisses and recommending the Sugar Daddy Wings. Get those, and also the soft, star anise-laced oxtails, and the soul fries layered with fried catfish, mac and cheese, and collard greens. Plus a $32 rum punch pitcher. Bring a group and come ridiculously hungry." - willa moore
