“ Had the seafood platter with sweet potato fries and onion rings. The catfish, oysters, shrimp were all fried to perfection. So light and delicately fried onion rings were absolutely delicious. The appetizer of fried crawfish tails were so delicious I could have made a meal out of them alone. Service was this witty (young?) lady that would refill my tea glass with every sip I'd take. Not complaining about that. She made sure we didn't lack nothing. You never needed to get her attention. She was always there. She made sure our food was served hot. The cook did an awesome job with preparing the food properly cooked. Great Job! Atmosphere: Likened to a cafeteria. Wide open space with only very large dining tables. Each table with its own personality. Traditional and farmhouse styles. Very unique and interesting. Along the walls were numerous TV and sport memorabilia along with newspaper enlarged pages of history. My wife and I went on a Wednesday late afternoon and was only the second family there. It wasn't long and people were coming in. The secret local spot is out now. We drove all the way down from Ozark AL. just to try this place out. We were not disappointed. Thank you to the owner and staff. Fine job. ”
“ Service was off tonight. Ran out of chicken strips. Only able to offer one in our party a child's plate of chicken strips and they were super small. Party of seven and complaints from 4 of the 7. Usually really good. ”
“ Great food and atmosphere! Generous portions. Great service! Will definitely return! ”
“ Great food an staff big shrimp portions ”
“ Absolutely love this local favorite. Granny (server) made my first trip the best and I can't wait to go back just to see her! She was a hoot. The food was perfect and so delicious. I had the fried grouper nuggets & sweet potato. I didn't care for the slaw but that's just my preference. I'm looking forward to my next trip. The inside is a mix of dining room tables and its just neat. You have to try them. ”
“ Love this place, I just had dinner here two days in a row, it’s like walking into your own family’s restaurant and feeling right at home!!!!! The best Southern Hospitality you will find and seafood that is so fresh you will feel like you just caught it and fixed it yourself!!! Don’t miss this place if you’re passing through, I can’t wait to go back!!! There definitely is a reason they have been in business for over 20 years. Oysters on the half shell, Blackend Shrimp and Surf and Turf are all a must when you go here!!! ”
“ Excellent experience and great customer service of the time. The atmosphere is fun. The same staff has worked there for years. Large screen TV's inside. Perfect place to eat, have a drink, and talk. I highly recommend the fried shrimp, crab claws, and any of the salads. Tonight, I had the grilled chicken salad. I love how they don't dump the meat on it. You get to add it. ”
“ Fantastic food and you definitely get your money's worth. Servers are super friendly. This is my new favorite restaurant! ”
