Hey man I think that's the best restaurant you've featured on your channel.that food looks outstanding Staten Island in the building!!! WHOA and I'm not exaggerating at all. I have to Crack open my piggy bank and get over to shaw-naes soul food restaurant looking good 👍🏽
I had the pleasure of going there for take out. Shaw-Naé was such a gracious host ensuring that all her guests were well taken care of. She was such a delight. In conversation, I told her it was my birthday weekend. As I’m leaving about to pull off she runs to me with a free dessert ❤
That sounds so good!!! sweet potato cornbread I would definitely order that. All the soulfood look delicious!!! Matt I love!! cabbage with collard greens too!!
Don’t Hurt Yourself Bro 😂 I Made Pot Roast Broccoli & Cheese & My Mother Made Chicken Dressing & Potatoes Salad Strawberry Cake For Easter Sunday Dinner Be Blessed…Keep Up The Good Work Hope All Is Well 💯💯
Bro!! The sisters presentation is on point! Plates look amazing oxtails and rice looked great cabbage and greens looked great putting sea moss in the food 😍 using fresh local veggies that how you roll if she was in my area I’d truly would support her business
Wow I recognize that guy From Best Man Final Chapters and First Wives Club. Love it! 🥰 we tuned in. Giving spoken word and neo soul performance vibes too. That sweet potato cornbread looks like a really nice dessert. That's not Grandma's cornbread lol. ~JT
I’m from Chicagos westside. When I get a chance to visit New York City I will definitely check this place out. I love her welcoming spirit. We don’t get that in Chicago. Shout out to her and to you mattdv.
Matt DV, was it so good you didn't need your hot sauce fam? Lol...I needed you to sprinkle a little on the mac and greens so my vicarious moment can be complete
That food looked so delicious and the presentation was an A+ x 10, I'm lost for words to even comment, her restaurant has a beautiful set up just imagine if black wall street was around today it would be striving..
I luv this restaurant and the vibes...!!! I come all the way from Brooklyn to go there to eat. I enjoy the company and the customer service...!!! Great Choice 💯
She got her spot classy, the way Jezebel's in NYC used to look. Nobody does tapestry like Black folk. White neighborhood's in America need nice family style Soul Food restaurants. Money in the bank!
It’s always busy in there so make sure you call ahead and reserve a spot. The atmosphere is so homey and the owner is so friendly and inviting. The food is so amazing you can’t go wrong with anything off that menu. It’s is the absolute definition of soul food. VAN DUZER SINY
Hi Matt everything look's delirious. I wish her restaurant was located in Jersey City. Doe's she season the the greens with meat or herbs? I think the prices are reasonable. I pulled Shaw-nae's Soul Food Restaurant and Shawn's Table menus up. I instantly thought about calling my sister about both restaurants. As I was about to call her, she called me 😊😊. My sister and I will definitely go Shawn's Table .
You in my hood bro ok 😂😂 should of let me know you was pulling bro , no the hill is birth place of the wu my hood killer Hill 🤠🐺💪😏🤫. And the only thing out her for black is African food it's in my hood. Ghost face is the only one from the town. They have a Jamaican spot on bay in victory tho it's my boy mom's spot it's gd. I'm a try her spot I always pass it yet I don't go in.
Shawnee got it going on , y'all was throwing down,the portions are just right ,and the aviance is nice, the cornbread complemented the dark rich oxtails, another fabulous looking meal ! 👍🏾👍🏾
I remember that cop scene that the brother was in. That was a trip. I was just talking with one of my best friends yesterday about the roles he's auditioning for in his mid 40s. I'll share this video for motivation
@ Matt DV Hello my family.. Tobias is amazing actor truly blessed he took you, to and awesome restaurant. The food look so great the price was good for all that . "I have to support also she had A in her window . Thank you, for the video.
I knew that wasn't Newark New Jersey. I didn't recognize that restaurant at all. The food looks really delicious. Needed a bigger portion of Mac and Cheese but everything looks perfect.
I went there yesterday with a party of 8 and let me tell you, this is definitely SOME OF THE BEST FOOD I’VE EVER HAD!! The climax was when my group were talking and enjoying our meal, the owner came out to thank us and show us love! That was a great feeling! Shout out to you Matt for branching out and I'll continue to follow your gut!! 🙏🏿💪🏿💯
Wow! That place looks good! I'm a fussy eater. I like soul food, but there's lots of soul food that I don't like to eat. I think what Shaw-naé says about her food being unique 3:24 is correct. That turkey wing platter you had and the vegan platter Tobias had both looked delicious. Of this 16 minute vid, I'll bet at least 10 minutes was Matt saying "Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm." And thanks for the ride across the new Goethals Bridge. I've crossed the old 1928 bridge hundreds of times, but I don't think I've been to Staten Island since the new bridge opened.
Hi Jeff, Yes, mmmm's got me. I should have had Tobias describe his meal, but his mmmm's told us everything we needed to know too. LOL, This was an awesome experience with a few challenges to film properly, but I think we shared the gist of it. It's always good seeing you here, Jeff. Thank you.
New subscriber here, watching and enjoying many videos from a year ago. Pastrami delis, soul food, Italian and red hot hot dogs. You should hop down just over the big bridge on the GSP to Keyport Fisheries. You get the best fresh seafood in 5 minutes. Scallops, chowder, eat out by the water. You and the viewers will love it. We go there once a month, drive almost an hour, it is that good. What Harold's is to pastrami, Keyport Fisheries is to seafood (or do I have that backwards?) Rick in Freehold
Shout-out to Staten Island, I was just passing through Stapleton Projects this pass Sunday. I always seen Staten Island as family to use Jersey natives, mad love to S.I💯💯💯💯
We got a lot of cooks out here bro , I'm in park hill we got mainly Africans cooking,yet it's to sisters who cook soul food only tho and it's all crib's and outside spots. Glad you enjoyed your food and experience bro

Thank you, David. Her customer service and attentiveness to customer wants is PRIME.
Another dope video matt and the view from da bridge at the end was crazy👍👍
First of all, THANK FOR WATCHING UNTIL THE END! I appreciate that. And, Thanks again.
I would definitely go to Shaw-nae Soulfood restaurant because she has that A rating in her window as soon as you walk up to the door.
Exactly that A ..
I didn't even notice. I have to pay more attention. LOL.
Matt, good job my Brother! My Sister, keep up the good work!!!
Thank you.
Matt another dope vibe out
Thanks, Brandon.
Mac n' cheese is (almost) always a let down... Glad you enjoyed a good one. 🍻🍻
I agree; getting the texture, taste, and cheese right isn't easy.
It's me Ben you in my hood ,I'm going there, always pass her spot yet haven't been there. I'm going for the mac and cheese and yams🙏
Yes, Tell her I said hi.
Matt DV, was it so good you didn't need your hot sauce fam? Lol...I needed you to sprinkle a little on the mac and greens so my vicarious moment can be complete
Man! They had me humming and not needing anything extra. It was brilliant. They were laughing at me too! lol
That food looked so delicious and the presentation was an A+ x 10, I'm lost for words to even comment, her restaurant has a beautiful set up just imagine if black wall street was around today it would be striving..
Hi Chucky, yes this place is def one of my favorites now. Thanks for tuning in.
I luv this restaurant and the vibes...!!! I come all the way from Brooklyn to go there to eat. I enjoy the company and the customer service...!!! Great Choice 💯
Peace @antwanthompson556 . It is definitely one of my go-to restaurants now. From Brooklyn is like coming from another state, right? LOL
Thanks!
Thank you @TheBairdHasLanded! What's new man?
She got her spot classy, the way Jezebel's in NYC used to look. Nobody does tapestry like Black folk. White neighborhood's in America need nice family style Soul Food restaurants. Money in the bank!
Hi Matt. Yes, I believe soul food works in any neighborhood, like Chinese food.
All looks so delicious 😋
Yes it was great.
🎉🎉😅ALL READY 😮🎉❤

It’s always busy in there so make sure you call ahead and reserve a spot. The atmosphere is so homey and the owner is so friendly and inviting. The food is so amazing you can’t go wrong with anything off that menu. It’s is the absolute definition of soul food. VAN DUZER SINY

Hi Benji!
Wow the Fried Snapper cost more than the Oxtails usually the Oxtails are the most expensive thing on the menu
