Food is great. Especially if you long for proper southern style food. Staff works hard and goes out of their way to serve. I would consider this a hidden gem for people traveling through. It certainly was for me.

Freshly fried fish on a toasted poboy bun—heaven! The cornmeal breading is very flavorful. The tartar sauce is spicy-liscious! The folks who run it are welcoming and helpful.

We’ve been here before, but it’s been a while & we were super hungry and ready for some fried goodness. The service was amazing and as we ordered, we were advised we were ordering alot, but we were prepared to have extra to enjoy later. We were taken by surprise, we had forgotten the portions were HUGE. The food was served piping hot with a smile and we were so ready to dig in. We enjoyed the food- fried oysters (they were huge), fried fish, fried shrimp, beans & rice, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, salad, shrimp po-boy, fried pickles, cheddar poppers, green beans, hushpups and fries (I told you we ordered alot!). Needless to say we took several containers home. I think the only thing more we could have wanted was to have a southern sweet tea with the food but we had water due to our day in the sun prior to eating. We’ll look for tea next time. *as hot as the food was when served, you’d be totally fine ordering to go because it would most likely still be hot when got home to eat.* So good. ALSO- the appetizer portion was so big and so good that we ate so much of that, and filled up fast!
Parking: There was ample parking at the time of day we were there (4-5pm) but you could tell at their prime times it’s probably kind of full. There’s close street parking available.
Kid-friendliness: There’s options for kiddos but we ordered full plates as our kids were “starving”.

Amazing value for the price. Ordered an appetizer and 2 plates. They gave me enough food to feed 2 families. Food was great!

My wife ordered the family fish and we received chicken wings we called about it and they said they couldn't fix it. They have lost a customer who always order family dinners from them. Hope they treat others better than we were treated.
