Finally made it in and I regret not hitting it sooner! The tilapia was perfection, the greens and mac & cheese were flavorful and just the right portion sizes. The fries were seasoned and hot, and the prices can’t be beat. Loved the atmosphere and the friendly staff. Will definitely be a regular. So glad you’re in my neighborhood!

We were so excited to try this out. My husband and I paid $45.00 for food. Tipped $15 in cash. We waited over andhour everyone after us was getting their food. My husband went and asked what was taking so long. They said it was never even started. They refunded us the money for our food. But our $15.00 cash tip they didn’t return to us. They gave us a giftcard instead. We more than likely won’t be back and we live over an hour away. Very disappointing first time experience.

We were looking for some catfish after a bowling tournament. Checked maps and found this gem. I definitely recommend, food was cooked to order, we loved the hospitality and recommendations. Ended up ordering catfish, fried shrimp, seafood fettuccine , and wings. So glad we stopped in, we will definitely be making the drive to visit again!!!

The fool was absolutely horrible I ordered the whitening a pound of it and it came way overcooked there was no fish inside the outside of the batter really The french fries was undercooked I ordered wings they were blanched My all around experience with this restaurant is a zero I would not refer this to no one I ordered a pound of whitening my husband ordered a pound of catfish We had to order separate french fries because french fries doesn't come with the meal I ordered five wings and everything came up to $62 for two people if I can put pictures on here I would horrible horrible experience

Felt real down to earth, almost homely. Welcomed vibe was present. The restaurant looks nice, clean, and well presented. The food was amazing on all fronts. I hope the fresh lemon with your fish never goes away. Can't wait to come through and watch some games here

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.

From the words of my child “this was the best catfish I’ve ever had.”
He’s a tough critic and bordering on Gordon Ramsey style critique. For him to rate it so highly speaks volumes.
When you walk in, you order at the counter with the option to dine in or take out. We decided to dine in.
We ordered 2lbs catfish, okra, fries, mac&cheese, and peach cobbler. Service was quick and the woman who delivered our food/drinks was perfect with her check ins on us. Everyone was kind and inviting. I’m not a fish person per se but I did try it and it was actually really good.
Prices for a small business serving seafood in a landlocked state were extremely reasonable as well.

Definitely added to our rotation of restaurants that we’ll be visiting!
