The fish was perfectly baked with a crispy crust, and the portion size was larger than expected. The only downside was the lack of restroom facilities, but I was able to find one nearby. The staff was friendly and the customer service was excellent. I also tried the oysters, which were not on the menu but the staff accommodated my request. The food tasted homemade and brought back memories of better times. Overall, I highly recommend this place for delicious seafood and great service.

We had excellent service and the catfish was the best I've had in a long time. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant. read more We had excellent service and the catfish was the best I've had in a long time. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant.

I recommend eating there while it’s still hot and fresh. This my favorite fried seafood spot so far. Service: Dine in

The sole filets were so thin that the pieces were mostly breading and as a result felt really dry and not very “seafoody”. The macaroni salad was meh, the lemonade was way too sugary, and the tartar sauce had an unpleasant sweetness. The fries were the best part and they were honestly just average, probably Sysco fries. It wasn’t actively disgusting, but it was disappointing. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2
