The food was fresh and delicious and big portions. The waiter Tanisha was so friendly and professional. The atmosphere was family oriented Sunday dinner vibes . The parking was meh 😑 but worth it completely!! Will definitely be coming back for more . A+

Croaker's Spot is a a laidback, easy going restaurant that works hard to keep customers fed and happy. Chocolate, my server, was amazing. I ordered the shrimp and scallops and was not disappointed. The steamed cabbage was ok. The collard were fantastic. I replaced the cabbage with the candied yams as suggested by Chocolate - they were good. The cornbread was slightly sweet and had a cake like texture - this all worked for me. I could easily see consuming the candied yams and cornbread as dessert. I tried the limeade. Next time I'll try the lemonade (yes, I hope to return). Portions are sizeable. I took half my plate with me - a delicious lunch the following day. If my maternal grandmother were alive she would've approved of this meal.

“Everything “ was perfect down to the sweet tea and ice cubes. I usually have to add salt or some sort of condiments . The food was seasoned to perfection . I got the catfish with baked mac&cheese & grits with cornbread .

First time coming to the current Petersburg location and it’s BEAUTIFUL! Our server Mark was AWESOME! Very personable, knowledgeable, quick, accurate, patient, and attentive. Because of him I will be coming back. The food was good but the crab cake was not worth the money. It was incredibly fishy and mushy.Food portions were large. Drinks were strong but not too strong. I would rate this place a solid 4.8 out of 5. My over all experience was wonderful and I will be back.

We stood at the houses just waiting to be seated for several moments and no one came to assist us. Walked up to a server and she sent us in her section and assisted us for the evening. Kelsey was attentive and helpful. Salmon cakes were a little undercooked inside, but had a nice crisp on the outside. The cabbage was cooked to a nice texture, but the season was mainly pepper. The grits were very thick. The cornbread was nice and moist. Blackened chicken, nice and moist. Collard greens just missed the spot. The Uptown (half tea & half lemonade) was flavorful. The ambience was nice and I would like to return and try different items on the menu.
