The atmosphere exudes a charming rivertown bar vibe, and the service is top-notch. With both a dining area and a bar, we enjoyed the catfish and fried okra, which were both excellent. The real standouts were the fried mushrooms and fried pepper Jack cheese triangles. The mushrooms were impressively large and could easily be a meal on their own. The appetizers are delicious and the portions are generous, making it possible to make a meal out of them alone. I highly recommend adding this restaurant to your weekend river trip itinerary.
