I tried the fried shrimp po-boy with fried okra, and it was amazing. My brother had the same but with fries, and we both enjoyed our meals. The food came with its own unique flavor that was delicious. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 5-star rating is because the atmosphere was a bit untidy and not very welcoming. However, the service was excellent. I originally ordered my meal with fries, but then wanted to change it to okra. The staff member behind the counter was accommodating and made the change without any issues, even though the okra was slightly more expensive. The other menu items, like the burgers, also looked tempting. Whenever they are in town, I would definitely recommend stopping by this restaurant.

The po-boys were tasty, with a beautiful bread, perfect amount of lettuce and tomatoes. The only thing that could have been improved was if there was more meat. Overall, we enjoyed our visit as we sat outside with our dog Spike.

They also have a small but lovely outdoor seating area. We have enjoyed dining in the past, but it was too windy that day so we had to get our food to go. We ordered burgers and curly fries. The food was good, but not as amazing as I remembered it to be. They have changed their recipe for the bread, and it isn't as flavorful as before. Despite this, the staff was friendly and said they were working to improve. I would give them another try in the future.

Very friendly service and delicious food. read more Very friendly service and delicious food.

This holiday season, I am visiting her on my own but I didn't want to skip our tradition. When I walked into the cozy restaurant, the friendly atmosphere instantly made me feel welcome. I decided to try the Philly po-boy with curly fries and didn't have to wait long for my meal. Despite being located by the highway, the atmosphere both inside and outside was surprisingly peaceful. The po-boy was absolutely delicious, especially when dipped in the gravy. The fries were hot, crispy, and tasty whether eaten with gravy or ketchup.
