I rarely get excited to post a review after visiting a place for the first time - but I'm excited to post this.
Backstory. We've lived in the area for 3 years and often considered, but never eaten here. Why? Can't get adult beverages. We generally don't eat out unless we need an escape and as such, I like to have a cocktail.
Then I learned you can BYOB here and once I knew this, it was on the list.
Very comfortable spot. Easy parking and loved the corner booth.
Get there early. We arrived at 530ish and were sat immediately but by 645, there were folks waiting (short wait, and this is peak summer season).
Server was amazing. Didn't hover but was anxious to take care of us.
We started with the fried oysters app and hushpuppies. Both were exceptional. The oysters were lightly battered and fried (oil was fresh). HPs were insanely well done. Moist throughout and so flavorful. The chow chow was great as was the remoulade.
I got the fried shrimp basket (added flounder) with fries, slaw and collards.
Shrimp and flounder were lightly breaded and again, the fresh fryer oil was a win.
Slaw was the only thing I didn't love. Fries were fine but I'm not a battered fry guy.
Collards were above average.
She had the fried chicken and it was so dang good. Closest comparison was deep fried turkey. Well seasoned, moist, light and no breading.
And then there was the coconut cake. I don't have a sweet tooth, but it was very good. Their dessert offering is special on it's own right.
Pack a cooler (if that's your thing) and check this place out sooner than later.
Everyone was so nice and genuinely seemed happy to be working there.
Thank you for a wonderful experience!
(Oops forgot the pickles, what a great warm up and palate cleanser).

It's already packed by 530, beside a beautiful babbling little creek. we have been enough times to try everything on the menu, including the BBQ gochuchang ribs, and everything outstanding. FIRST OF ALL, the fried oysters are the best, and we are well traveled, and the fried green tomatoes make me so happy inside!! love the pasta with the smoked trout, and always go for a smoked trout platter with their fresh sides!. We take probably a quart of the smoked trout dip home, and let me tell you I know my collards, and those are on point! Oh and the desserts are decadent and worth eating dessert first for dinner!! Delicious!! and dogs welcome, even in the inside patio portion if its raining

Everything was great! Trout was excellent, didn't try to dress it up. Just a great cut of fish! Fried oysters, and frog legs 😎👍

My wife had eaten here numerous times in the past and she finally got me to try it out. I am so glad she got me to go. The food is amazing the grilled trout is my favorite, the green beans had a strong vinegar taste, but overall all the food is amazing. The staff is very friendly as well. Get there early for dinner as there is always a wait.

Excellent food, even the sides are special. I had the grilled trout, broccoli salad and cucumber salad. I'd come here often if I could.

I had a great meal at The Tin Trout. The smoked trout was very good—nicely done and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed the smoked trout dip. But the real standout was the cornbread. It was served warm with a slightly spicy honey on the side, and it was honestly the best part of the meal. The service was also excellent. Definitely a place I’d go back to.

Amazing catering! This food was so good and so filling. Even my 90 year old grandma was saying it’s the best catering she’s ever had! Loved the fried-green tomatoes!
