Always great food, service and a clean environment! The fried catfish is clean tasting and fried just right, the white beans are really good, I went for seconds. The coleslaw is yummy and the hushpuppies won't let you down! Never had a bad meal here! My bday was yesterday but they were closed. We were there tonight though! 😁

First, the service was top notch, the waitress was absolutely amazing, present, and attentive. The food was very good. And you get a lot of it. Everything wqs delicious except the steak my date ordered. He said it was prepared very well with great seasoning & cooked exactly as he ordered, but said the cut of meat was lower quality. Their coleslaw, black beans, and collard greens were amazing. The hush puppies were good, nothing to rave about but tasty and not overdone.

We had a group of 13 roll in here to have a late lunch. Friendly service and clean facilities. The free hush puppies were amazing as a start. I had the 2 entries sampler, catfish and frog legs with fries. Everything was very good. Several tried the frog legs and we all agreed they where the best. I would definitely suggest a stop by if you are coming through.

Me and my wife came here to eat a couple weeks ago. The food was really good. We got fried catfish. The hush puppies were just about the best we ever had. The beans were good with the red sauce on the table. Our waiter (Colby) did a great job. We didn’t have to ask for anything. The one star review is for the older woman with black hair (owner I think). RUDE. We won’t be coming back if she thinks this is how you treat people. Ruined it for us. My wife said same thing.

Absolutely fantastic. Grilled chicken sandwich was amazing and grilled cod was so delicious! Perfectly cooked. The best hush puppies and coleslaw. The white beans too! I loved it.
