The whole fried catfish was excellent. The slow cooked pork was good. The sides were okay at best. I didn't care for the ketchup based BBQ sauce, and was surprised they didn't offer 'Alabama' white BBQ sauce.

Another childhood favorite of mine! I stopped in today once again was happy! The sweet tea is the best around! I got the small catfish filet today with fried okra and onion rings. The portions are large! I left with a to go box, and grabbed a BBQ sandwich and fried pie to go so I have dinner for the next 2 nights!

I hadn't eaten there for some time since I don't live nearby, but stopped on my way through. I was not disappointed. The food and service was as good as I remembered from my last visit. I highly recommend it.
