Who is keeping this restaurant in business? Please tell me who?! I went there for the very first time in my life after hearing about it for years. It wasn't busy, just a couple of vehicles ahead of me who had already been there. The female employee came out and took my order. She was actually nice. I was surprised bc I had prepped myself for this alleged mean woman I read about in the reviews prior to going. I ordered a wing dinner, hamburger and sweet potato pie. She asked me did I want everything on the hamburger like it was gonna be the best in the world. They told me there would be a 15 min wait bc of the chicken, I was fine with that. I waited. The female worker brought my order, I grabbed it, the pie and burger fell on the ground. I realized if she had tied the bag properly that wouldn't have happened. The burger was fine bc it was paper bagged and wrapped. The pie not so much. She helped me retrieve the items from the ground but told me the pie prob isn't edible then quickly went back inside. I waited bc I thought she was gonna bring me another slice, she came out with nothing and asked was I ok. I replied yes and just left. I looked at the food. The chicken were these little flimsy floured fried wings, just anemic looking. A toasted bread that didn't look toasted all the way that looked like the end bread. I will say the fries were good, but that's it. The burger was abysmal. It was so sloppily thrown together, burnt toasted bun, patty with shredded lettuce, mayo and bits of tomato sloppily glopped on top of the bottom bun. That's the burger she asked about earlier like it was gonna be world class. I ate everything, everything tasted a low ok but the presentation was abysmal and I woke up feeling kind of sick after eating it. Overall this was a NO. I can't believe after hearing about this place for years and years this is the best they've given the customers. I should've lowered my expectations. I won't be returning ever again. I'm in awe they're still in business. P.S. That chicken needs a new recipe. All these years and haven't perfected a recipe that would make someone like me come back. Flour wrong, lack of seasoning and presentation. Kelly's and Murphy's which are/were similar to this place have/had way better recipes than this place.Chicken looked better too. The stars given are primarily bc the employees were nice, which is wild after reading the opposite. I wonder how it is when they have a big crowd.
Over priced 7 piece shrimp dinner, small scoop of potato salad burnt fries unfriendly, slow service

I've been eating at this place since I was in my mother's womb, literally. The food is marvelous, and they're second to none when it comes to fried seafood.

The food was really good. I had the fried shrimp platter. They did not skimp, shrimp were large and fried to perfection. Surrounding area appeared dangerous, but it was OK and staff was very friendly.
The food is the best but the customer service is the worst...
This is NOT what I remembered from my childhood
Fresh, friendly drive-through service.
Bad service and the worse souse I ever tasted..
Waited over mins just for them tell us they were out of things that we ordered. Terrible just terrible. Will never go back there; complete waste of my time .

Expected home fried fish, fried with meal coating. Got flour coated. Too much mustard in potato salad. Loved lettuce & tomatoes, but there was no dressing. Hot fish is good but it withered the salad. Service was excellent and thoughtful Will try their seafood platter next.

Poor Customer Service Skills. To the younger lady with the short cut, that walks and takes orders.. customer service skills are ZERO. She does not greet anyone and just looks at you stupid, while taking your order. She hands you your order, like you're a robot and not a real customer. Never says: Thank you or anything.She makes your business look bad!

I would have given it 4 stars but every single time I go, the lady who takes the order never smiles, never is pleasant she always seems to have an attitude ( and it's not Ms. Jackie)
