Me and my family came after a funeral and we got the Wings, Shrimp, Okra, Gizzards, Liver, Fried Fish and like 3 more things I can’t remember. EVERYTHING was yummy and prepared FRESH. Coming from New York and being raised in FL I wanted something good and comforting and they didn’t disappoint and neither did those prices okay!!! Slim was the young lady servicing us and she was SO sweet and gracious! She accommodated us in several ways and I am so thankful for her hospitality. Thank you for showing us love during a sad day and filling us up with good food. Definitely coming back. These are a few pics of some of the food it was yummy! See yall soon!!!

This is a hidden gem for seafood! A coworker told me about this place and I knew I had to check it out. I got fish and shrimp with fries and Mac n cheese to go. The food is great and affordable. It did take a little longer than most drive through places but I believe that’s because they cooked it fresh right when I ordered it. That’s worth the wait to me.

We ordered a variety of different food. Everything tasted fresh, crispy, and hot! If you're on Main Street looking for a nice clean and affordable spot to eat, you have to try this place. The jumbo shrimp 🍤 are ridiculously huge, real jumbo! You have to try the homemade "Sam's sauce" excellent 👌.The employees are always smiling and friendly too. I will be going back again real soon.

Order fish, wings, green beans, rice and beans and a chicken philly cheese. Fish was bland and very very fishy smelling, chicken wings had no season, green beans were gross, rice and beans and coleslaw taste like they were leftover and left out all day and our chicken philly was dry no cheese, mayo or sauce. All this was over $60 to not have one satisfying item i am sad and upset. I went here cause of the raving reviews and sad to say I was severely disappointed. I am not from the area but when I visit again I do not wish to give this place another try. I was hoping to match the reviews

★★★★★ 5.0 John Pelot · Jul 2023

Great shrimp (big)! I’ve had the chicken tenders, swai fried fish and the fried shrimp with fries and everything is fantastic. Even the dipping sauces were better than other fast food places. Recommended especially since you CAN eat in the dining area whereas you can’t at the chicken spot across the street (ahem). Go here anyway.
