Additionally, there was a strong smell outside the restaurant, though I'm not certain if it came from the restaurant itself or the nearby cow pasture. On a positive note, the hush puppies were excellent!

Wow can I say that enough. The food, service, and atmosphere were great. The service was top rate and the food just a good.

Normally the hush puppies are the star, light, flavorful, and crispy...and we've heard rumors that the Target distribution folks took coolers full home. Today however, the hush puppies were very much like a Captain D's. Dense, flavorless, and kind of nasty. I had catfish and one of my fish tasted like it had been doused in ammonia. That one stayed on the plate. The other one was muddy tasting which happens on occasion but it just didn't live up to the normally delicious fish I get there. Did they change suppliers? Did they change ownership? Even the pickles on the coleslaw tasted different. It just wasn't a good meal. My husband got fish and pork and the pork was good but his fish filets were muddy tasting too. No, we don't have Covid so our taste buds are working fine. I guess this is one of the occasional slumps that hit a restaurant but even in the past when they had a slump, their hush puppies were the reason to go. I think I'll be taking a several month hiatus from eating there. So sad. One of my favorite places and I just don't want to go back for a while. Fingers crossed they fix their hush puppies!!

I have been stopping by here for over 35 years and it hasn't changed. Great food, great service. read more I have been stopping by here for over 35 years and it hasn't changed. Great food, great service.

The best hushpuppies around. Love their fish and chicken fingers. read more The best hushpuppies around. Love their fish and chicken fingers.
