This is an odd joint. We're still not exactly sure what to think of it! The atmosphere here was quite eclectic, in a ghetto deco sort of way. There was graffiti literally everywhere... yes, even on the ceilings. Even the restroom walls were covered with scribbles, signatures, and sayings... nowhere here is apparently sacred, as every surface was spoiled with ink or lead. The place smelled of restrooms and soiled carpet. The service was friendly enough, the food seemed fresh, and it tasted pretty good. The only exception was that we ordered the tilapia and received catfish instead. I know my fish, and those pieces of fish were very wild and strong flavored. The filets were darker than the tilapia filets I've eaten in the past. The shrimp was very well done, and other than the fries being incredibly over-fried and the hushpuppies tasting a bit doughy, the meal was still fairly enjoyable. I did wish they served a few lighter and fresher side items like potato salad or cole slaw, neither of which donned their menu... just to break up the deep-fried richness of the fat everything was fried in. I'd say they were a bit overpriced for the selection and overall experience the place offers you; unless you go during lunch times or their happy hour (which, in my opinion, wasn't that "happy" for me!), then perhaps the overall experience might bring some folks back for another round.

Visited this establishment a couple of weeks ago. Called in an order and went in to pick it up. The process to order was not pleasant. The pick up process was unorganized and the employees were curt and rude.The food was just okay and was expensive for what we got. I was dissatisfied overall and won't be ordering out from here again.Perhaps the dining in option is better for this place. I'm not sure. I can't recommend them moving forward, especially for carry out.Wheelchair accessibility: The parking situation would be difficult for accessibility during high peak hours. The parking lot is shared with multiple other businesses and can be a nightmare during high volume periods.

Horrible service from the moment we arrived. When we walked the waitstaff were horsing around and ignored our arrival. Manager had to come out from the back to help seat us. We waited over 10 minutes, no one came to get us drinks or to check on us. The place smells equal parts of Pinesol and seafood if that's your thing. Definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Good food, but could use a little boost in the service area. Not that they're rude, just not very observant or attentive.

Starting off good was good. Waitress checked on us once and then disappeared. We couldn’t get our drinks refilled. We watched her play on her phone for 10 minutes sitting at a table. I had to go up to her to ask her for our tickets. She acted like it was inconvenient that I interrupted her on her phone. The manager came up and she started speaking disrespectful to him as well. Definitely not a great experience.
