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.

During my visit to town, I checked out some restaurant reviews and discovered this hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered burgers that really satisfied my son's appetite! The onion rings were the best I've had in a long time! I will definitely be coming back!

The food was excellent! As someone from Southeast Louisiana, I have high standards when it comes to seafood, and I was not disappointed. The fried fish and fried shrimp were both fantastic, and the red beans and rice were delicious as well. Our server, Kenneth, was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

What a fantastic hidden gem! I visited Lytle, TX, to install my mother's headstone and originally intended to grab breakfast tacos, but we couldn't find the other restaurant. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place! The customer service is outstanding, and they offer a great selection of both warm and cold dishes, all of which are freshly made and taste delicious. Don't miss the rolls with cinnamon butter, and definitely request the cabbage as a side—it’s incredibly tasty! This spot is clean and inviting, so give it a try. As my wife beautifully put it, it gives you "a big little feeling"!

Great atmosphere. The service was wonderful like always. We've been there multiple times. I got the fish plate, loaded baked potato, Mac n cheese and my husband got a burger with sweet potato fries. You get a very good amount of food for the price. I can never finish it.
