They use a touch-screen order system, you don't have to wait for help. The foods was great and the portions were just right. The wait may be longer than some might like but that just means you haven't had to cook much, it takes time. You could probably eat there but it would be kind of tight. I didn't talk to the staff a lot but they seemed friendly enough.

Chicken tenders are the best I ever had, fried shrimp is top tier, fried catfish is a solid 9/10. Onion rings are delicious and fries order them well done. I recommend eating there while it’s still hot and fresh. This my favorite fried seafood spot so far.
Had the sole with fries and macaroni salad with a lemonade to drink. The sole filets were so thin that the pieces were mostly breading and as a result felt really dry and not very “seafoody”. The macaroni salad was meh, the lemonade was way too sugary, and the tartar sauce had an unpleasant sweetness. The fries were the best part and they were honestly just average, probably Sysco fries. It wasn’t actively disgusting, but it was disappointing.

Love the catfish! Made to order. I usually call ahead and it’s ready to go by the time I get there. Reasonable prices!

I enjoyed my meal of fried Snapper and Oysters with fries. The food was NOT over saturated and drenched with oil. It was crispy hot and delicious. A very good batter was used. Everything was perfect. Would love to return.

I only have one question. Fat fish where have you been all my life I find out just two weeks ago that you’ve been there for a long time. I never knew that. Fish and shrimp combo. It’s it’s it’s small but it’s enough for one person I had fries with it you could get the shrimp fried spicy and it’s really good. I ordered My Son a chicken strips meal. He said it was very good. All I can say is that the fish and a shrimp I had more than satisfied me. I am a catfish lady. I tell you and I was very happy. They close kinda early I think 7 PM but if you’re in the neighborhood go try them. It’s really good. They have a lot of things on the menu for everyone.

The catfish was HORRIBLE it was so bland and mushy I did not like it! The only good thing about this meal was the French fries! Fat fish means: STAY OUT AT ALL TIMES!!!
Parking: It's pretty hard to find some parking out in the front you might just need to park on the corner

Me and my mom had the catfish and ?. She loves having fish on Fridays.
I ate there yesterday and ordered a combo, one of the choices was catfish. I grew up eating catfish, caught catfish. That was not fish at all. Oysters and prawns, really good. I'm concerned that people are consuming under the impression of something else.
