Love this place! The best catfish I had since the move to San Antonio, and the staff is great. The sweet tea and peach is perfect... I couldn't say enough great things about this place. View all feedback.

Great food, I'm from SE Louisiana, so I'm picky with seafood. The fried fish and the fried shrimp were great. And the red beans and rice. Kenneth, our server never let us need anything.

Great hole in the wall! Came to Lytle, TX to install my mother's headstone and we decided first on breakfast tacos, but could not the other restaurant! Well, Super-Glad we found this place as an ingenious customer service; good selection of warm and cold foods; and very tasty and fresh made home cooking! Leave the rolls with cinnamon butter and ask the cabbage as a side! Super Delicious! Give this place a try; very clean and welcoming! As my wife said so eloquently, “a big little feeling”!

Amazing place to eat, large portions you won't leave hungry, food is prepped and cooked fresh to order, even a few homemade recipes like their chili, no pre battered frozen foods, definitely have to ask for their homemade desserts. There's a bar side to which has great drinks and stays open until like 1 am. The staff and owners are great and attentive. I've started eating here on a regular basis because I feel like I'm at grandma's kitchen table you can't beat the feel of the environment and the great tasting food, by now I think I've had about everything on the menu and I haven't been disappointed yet.

The atmosphere is fantastic, and the service was excellent, as always. We've visited this restaurant several times. I ordered the fish plate along with a loaded baked potato and mac and cheese, while my husband had a burger with sweet potato fries. The portion sizes are generous for the price, and I can never finish my meal!
