First Impression offers local soul food with exceptional customer service at reasonable prices. The restaurant serves delicious dishes, including crabcake, chicken wings, mac and cheese, collard greens, and traditional comfort food options like smothered pork chops. The fried catfish platter is cooked to perfection, freshly breaded and fried to order, making it a standout dish. The food is prepared quickly, and the service is superb, with very clean food preparation areas. Customers praise the friendly staff and delicious, well-seasoned meals, including the fish sandwich, shrimp basket, mac and cheese, and yams. However, some customers have experienced issues with overcooked or tough fried fish on rare occasions. Overall, First Impression provides a comforting and satisfying dining experience.
