Very nice experience. Our waiter was absolutely great. We had a party of 12 and he worked it by himself. We had our drinks refilled, slaw and pickles without them just being an empty bowl. All in all, we had a wonderful experience. Would recommend!

Delicious! Had the Mahi Mahi, fried to perfection! Hush puppies, coleslaw and cheese grits are perfect side kicks!
When I pulled up to get my carry out order, I had high hopes. Probably 30 or 40 people waiting for tables, about a hundred or so cars outside so I assumed it would be great food. I was mistaken. I got the food back to the house and the"scallops" I ordered were silver dollar size, perfectly round, and a half inch or so thick. Everyone of them were identical which tells an old salt like me that they are stamped stingray, not scallops. To top it off they were tough. Only ate about half of them. I expect clam strips to often be tough but not scallops. My wife and I ordered grits, which they did not put in the bag, so we didn't get them. No condiments, no plastic ware, so maybe the fact we didn't get our grits was a good thing. Grits aren't finger food. Almost 40 dollars worth of food went in the trash. I won't be going back. The only positive was the cashier was very pleasant.

Where else can you get a whole catfish..... delicious. There hushpuppies are the best around... you drive until you hit water and then park..... you can also feed the gators in the back as well.... beautiful place in the middle of nowhere..... the grits are amazing and they bring you the biggest bowl ever.... and all you can eat slaw, sweet and dill pickles..... GIVE IT A TRY

Side dishes were excellent. Main fare was ranged from over cooked to inedible. Took my family for first time. Been hearing about if for over 20 years. Wife and daughter ordered flounder. It came dried out and tough. She had to get it re cooked. It was still way over cooked to a slightly less degree, but it was not good. Flavor was not much. Poor seasoning. Daughter had same thing but she ate it because we had skipped lunch and she was hungry. I ordered the 25.00 seafood platter. Fries were cold. The whole catfish was so small it took two bites to eat. 3 small pieces. The shrimp was overcooked and tough. Not just tough, but dry and stringy. 4 shrimp. The scallops were better but breading was falling off. 5 or so of those. No flavor but a slightly fishy taste. The oysters were nearly black and falling to shreds and dry little nuggets. Maybe 4 small whole ones if added together. Mostly tiny little quarter sized pieces. The stuffed crab cake came looking good. But first bite I spit taked (nearly.) It was rancid in flavor. I smelled it. If you know bad seafood smell... this was it. My appetite was ruined after that. I sent most back except fish and scallops. My wife and daughter had cold fries too. The good: cheese grits, slaw, and hush puppies. The service was otherwise decent. Anything fried was not good. They did finally discount the final total. But it was a miserable dining experience on the taste buds. Will not go back unless I hear things are changed. We got there at 4:30 when they opened. They blamed the fresh grease.

What a FUN place for family dining. If you are looking for a QUIET, "romantic" place to pop the question.....this ain't it. BUT, even on a busy (it's rarely not busy) day, service is fast and friendly. Plenty of good food with options from fried to grilled. Hushpuppies were great. Lemonade tasted fresh -not powdery (that's a BIG deal for me). Creamiest cheese grits ever. Take your pick: dill pickles or bread n butter pickles- it's all there. We take out of town friends there all the time and they've always loved it. COME AS YOU ARE; WEAR COMFY EXPANDABLE PANTS because you are sure to STUFF yourself.Kid-friendliness: No tablecloths, plastic drink cups, highchairs...and it's so noisy no one eill notice if your child fusses
