We had great service. I ordered the class, shrimp and fish (probably catfish) with fries. The price and quality were excellent. I will definitely be back

The food is really good and plentiful. The kids could not eat all their food and the shrimp po-boy is to die for. I would go again.

Catfish was really good, shrimp were huge and tasty. Fries were the perfect amount of crisp! All in all a great little spot. Plus not a big chain dump.

Really good food and service. So glad we stopped here! Loved the crab cakes.

Love this place! I had dinner here 2 weeks ago on Sunday, and it was GREAT! I had fried catfish & shrimp with a side of red beans and rice. I highly recommend this place. It was immaculately clean with very friendly service. My iced tea never got close to being empty. Next time through Emporia I will make this my lunch or dinner stop. The owner came out and asked if everything was to my satisfaction. I appreciate great food plus outstanding service.

Food was decent but I wouldn't write home about it. I had the shrimp po-boy that left something to be desired. However the bread it came on was actually really good I was surprised.

Best catfish in town. Southern style makes it even better. Had the fish and shrimp. 2 large filets of fish and 6 huge shrimp.

Friendly service and great food! We had the burgers, fries, and red beans and rice. Loved the smoky flavor of the beans and rice and the burger patty.

Really good food and extremely large portions. The cashier/server was a bit high strung and doesn't work well under pressure but overall good experience!

I waited to eat here with my mom and dad they are older I'm older. My step father is from Maine so he had the fish platter with shrimp and I had shrimp platter special. Big butter battered butterfly shrimp. We thought it was mighty fine. Steaming Hot really nice. My mom eats no seafood and they had alot for her to choose. She said it was great so we will be back. The prices on my special were amazing. Big platters real fair pricing. Had all the sides some were tiny, some large. Thank you. Very pleased with our meal.

Wanted to try something local and unique! The building itself was bold and colorful. The waitress was friendly and our orders came out quickly and accurate. Between us all, we had both fried fish/shrimp and grilled fish/shrimp! Can't go wrong with either. For sides, our group ended up with fries, green beans, red beans and rice, and Mac and cheese. The favorite was the red beans and rice. Least favorite, and truthfully the only thing not liked amongst the group, was the Mac and cheese (thought it tasted spoiled). There was also a burger in our group...it was delicious as well. Would definitely recommend!

Good food, good value. The fried pickles are great, and the shrimp batter is really good. The fish is ok. My family loved the green beans and red beans and rice. The waitress was also super great. Overall great experience!

Large quantities and great food! They're understaffed though, so if you're looking you could place an application. The staff are enjoyable and try their best to manage.
