Great seafood! The fried softshell crab was really good. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. This place is popuyeith the locals so you know it's gotta be good!

★★★★☆ 4.0 tracy o'bryan · Jun 2025

grilled shrimp a little overcooked crabcake could use a little bit more crab taste to it. The potato balls were good fried shrimp. in that area, it does have the charm of being on the water and wildlife. maybe change up the batter and and some cajun spice to it and watch the cook time on the seafood. it’s worth the stop

★★★★☆ 4.0 Troy Mahan · Apr 2025

Good food, not the best seasoning on the grilled catfish; a little plain. The salad was small cubes tomatoes and lettuce, nothing more. I found better choices around town. The server was excellent. Paying the bill was quick. I may be back to check out the beef plates

★★★★★ 5.0 Colton Johnson · Oct 2025

A mom and pop restaurant and plate lunch vibe. I had the rabbit stew, green beans, and red beans. The rabbit stew fell off the bone. Green beans were good. Only reason it didn’t get all starts on food was the red beans were a bit bland. The waitress was very polite.

This was a second choice after driving by our first choice but, it ended up being the best place we have eaten on this trip! The food was absolutely delicious, the Old Fashioneds were spot on and the people working there were over the top! The owner sat and talked to us for a while and his stories were very interesting, thank you sir!
