Ordered the fried catfish, and the portion size was generous for the price. The catfish was crispy and well-cooked, but could have used more flavorful seasoning to really stand out. Overall, the meal was satisfying and affordable. Would definitely return to try other menu items and see how they compare.

Atmosphere was as might be expected. Cute exterior.

Fried catfish was predictable and fine.

The broiled snapper platter was a major disappointment. I got it to go to bring home for my wife and it was so hard and tough that a knife was needed to cut it (as compared to the edge of a fork). My wife couldn't / didn't eat it. It was a waste of $21.00 . Maybe I can put the fish on a roll and eat it as a sandwich just so it doesn't...

Old and a little run down but the food is good and the service was great. Wheelchair accessible. Small quiet place with good drinks and great food at great prices. What's not to love?
