We came back and I tried the catfish dinner and it was solid. The fish was clean and had a good flavor. The hush puppies were good even though they were a little greasy. The tartar sauce was pretty good as well. not too tangy. We had a good experience and will be back to maybe try the shrimp. if not, I'll definitely get the fish again.
Very slow
Did was good. It seemed that it took longer to get my food than I would have thought. Would certainly go back!
