★★★★☆ 4.0 Adrianna “Dri” Tennison · Dec 2024

The food had good flavor, but most things were fried light, so some pieces of food were just right and the other was slightly under cooked. The inside of the restaurant was dark (so was the kitchen, missing lights or sections with not enough lighting, kind of scary) the lighting was strange for my eyes, I felt like I was eating with a bunch of desk lamps working to light up the room. But it was those soft white kind. The service was good, the staff was really sweet, and my server was kind of whispering, so it was hard to hear her, but she was attentive. I would recommend a visit, but they have some updating they should plan.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ric Douglas · May 2025

Heard a lot about this place so was excited to finally try it. I get the feeling it's one of those places that's always been around and hasn't seen a need to update anything. Which, isn't bad but it does make the atmosphere look a little generic, the menu bland. That said, the service was great. Friendly and hospitable. My biggest issue was with the fried food. Which was everything. The batter isn't seasoned, so everything you order is one step away from tasting like everything else. This is especially true for the battered fries. Don't do it. The batter to fry ratio is about 1:1 and you have to chew through bland, fried batter just to barely taste the potato. But the hushpuppies are great, the slaw is good and the in-house made Key Lime Pie is delicious. So get that! And if you get desser

Great seafood spot. Reminds me of seafood shacks on the coast. Good food, friendly service. My group enjoyed oysters on half shell, mussels, shrimp, salmon and catfish. All were great. Squash casarole side was best Ive ever had outside mom's. Only complaint was one of my traditional yankee seafood loving buddies thought the mussels came with too much butter. Didnt bother me.

Everything was hot and fresh! The rainbow trout was perfectly fried, crispy and delicious! I also ordered the broiled catfish entree. It was delicious as well the portions were surprisingly big! Great value for the cost! Robin was our waitress and she was FABULOUS 👌 👏 👍 😍

Boo and I took a trip to see my parents. We had a date night to ourselves. So found this place on Google and off we went. Convenient to where we were staying. Right off the interstate. We found it easy to park in the lot on the right side. We went it it was busy. That's always a great sign. Looked at plates as we were seated. We spoke to our neighboring table. They told us what they recommended. We ordered alligator as an appetizer fried. It was so good. Boo got flounder and hushpuppies. I got shrimp tacos. They were delicious. I can't eat fish I am allergic to it. I am lucky enough that I can eat shrimp. Boo loves seafood and I love to make him happy. We will go back. If just not for the alligator. The restaurant was extremely clean the staff was so nice. We had the nicest table buddie
