No place on the eastern shore of Mobile has a better price point for a white fish basket. Fish, fried to perfection, French fries, okra and cole slaw along with a couple of hush puppies. The portion size is enough to feed two people. The taste always draws me back for a last meal before heading back to the Northcoast for the summer. Nothing fancy, just good and plentiful food at a great price.
Usually have a good experience here but today at lunch we order 2 beers and wanted to share a hamburger and an appetizer but the waitress said we had to pay an extra $3 to share. I said then I'll pay for beers and don't want food. She kept misunderstanding and I stated that I had repeated myself 5 times and what was the problem. She got in a huff and said you don't have to rude and walked away. I was not rude, I didn't raise my voice or insult her. Did not catch her name from the short interaction. We usually order multiple drinks and appetizers and share a burger but will go somewhere else from now on. Disappointing since the food is good but other places are just as good without the attitude.

Nice locals-oriented place. Broad menu with lots of standards and fried seafood options. I needed to accomplish a 20 minute lunch while I was in town on business.Even though the place was packed, my server recommended a fast order and had me out the door in exactly 20 mins.

Ordered senior grilled catfish, portion was so small. Looked like 1/4 of a piece of fish cut in 2 pieces. I ask if the was correct, was told yes, you have 2 pieces. 2 of the smallest pieces I have ever seen. I ate and left hungry. LAST VISIT, they lost a local customer…..

Food is always very good, not a chain restaurant, more like home cooking.
Enjoyed the grilled shrimp and fish. The swamp soup is to die for always great. Service was excellent as always.Dietary restrictions: Most food is fried, but they have shrimp and fish grilled, but good chicken grilled sandwich.

Friendly waitress. Liked the complimetary taste of swamp soup with meal. Fish was great and hush puppies were great. Got a little surprise dessert at end of meal.
Fried Shrimp, Fried Okra, French Fries and delicious Hushpuppies, also a small serving of their famous "Swamp Soup," along with a piece of Cake of the day. All for $10.99 (they also offer a 3.5% discount if you pay with cash)What more could you possibly ask for at this restaurant that the locals love? Nothing! PLEASE, TIP your waitstaff, as these ladies work extremely hard to provide you fast and friendly service. I truly felt sorry for my waitress, as she was waiting on a table of 14 women, (while waiting on my table of 3, and another table of 4) who ran her to death, requested separate checks, and requested substitutions on different items etc. The waitress did not make any comment to me about this, but I was sitting at a very close table. Ladies, a $10 tip, left on the table isn't enough money. My table of 3 tipped $12, which was a little over 20%! If you can't afford to tip, just stay home!
Great place for a quick meal. I had the shrimp burger. Really good alternative choice for a burger. Great flavor. Swamp soup was fantastic. Comes with the meal. My daughter had a chicken sandwich. Very messy. The waitress even said you're going to need napkins. The atmosphere was dated, and overall, the look was dingy. But the food was good. And a good price. And at lunch, you get a free piece of cake. It wasn't a large piece but just enough after a big lunch. The French fries were perfect.The waitress was very nice. It was busy, yet she checked on us often.
