The food was fantastic and was ready fast. The chicken and fries were fresh, hot, crispy, tender inside, and very well seasoned.

I definitely love this place. I eat here often. But is it me or did yall stop adding bread to the 6pc wing dinners? Yall should definitely bring it back!!
My last question is:
did yall change the recipe for the coleslaw? Please change it back because, in my opinion, it use to be way better

The fish and frys was hot and fresh. The slaw was good. The value was good. I got the whiting and the portions were very nice. Beats the heck out of the big guys.

Had the 20 piece shrimp, a catfish fillet, and red velvet cake delivered. The shrimp and catfish were very flavorful and cooked to perfection. The cake was moist and the frosting was very good. Will order again while I am in town.

Don't get Hooks very often but when I do, it always slaps. Maybe a little overboard on the "crack" powder seasoning sometimes, but I'm not complaining. If you like the powder, you can always ask for a little container of it and it'll last for 5-10 meals depending on how much you use at a time. Chicken is cooked/fried perfectly, not too tough, and not too soft. The fish is also cooked perfectly before I forget. The fries come out a golden brown 9/10 and have a perfect texture. The amount you are served in a meal fills up the styrofoam container to the point of needing a rubber band. Sometimes the containers are moist when you open the lid, so fair warning for y'all who don't like liquid they can't see on them, but it doesn't kill the taste of the food at all. Overall 4.8/5 because I'm pretty sure the couch in there is tearing up and there's no tables to eat at, (it's takeout only to be fair) but if you're by the Northside and need a bite, this is the place to go.
Parking: You might find a spot to park in front of or near the place, but don't bet on it everytime
Wheelchair accessibility: The place is on a hill, nearly twice as steep as a normal wheelchair accessible ramp, and I'm almost certain you step in

I was only staying nearby for a concert, saw this place and I hadn't had seafood in a while. Very delicious, especially the scallops and crab cakes, the sweet potato pie was also good, was very happy about the experience.

While the food was not for me, On Monday 2/26 I was doordashing and had received my offer for this restaurant right here. Upon arrival, they said someone else had picked up the order. So when I asked them if they can make it again for the customer me they said no, then pointed out another strangers car and was like it was that guy. So I asked the poor man who had only just bought beer if he had my doordash and he said no I don't even do that. So I looked at the young man working, and said it's not him. His coworker stopped and was listening to our conversation, as this kid kept telling me they couldn't make it. Luckily my customer that I was dashing for, after a 6 minute phone call, was super nice and understanding
