I keep going by this place because it looks like they have great food online, but it's never open. Has it closed?
The friendly staff manages a lovely outdoor restaurant with ample patio seating. They offer delicious catfish and side dishes at reasonable prices. You can also enjoy beer and catch a game on their TVs.
This spot operates somewhat as a semi-permanent food truck, so there's no indoor seating. Typically, that would be a big turn-off for me since I prefer not to eat outside and I'm not a fan of takeout. However, it happened to be my birthday, and the weather was perfect for outdoor dining on that lovely day. The area is nicely set up—far more than just a parking lot; it has an ambiance similar to a beachside resort. They even have plans to build a more permanent establishment in the future. On a side note, I was off work due to a foot injury and was on crutches, while my wife uses a cane, and we had our toddler to manage as well. The setup is self-serve, but since it was after the lunch rush, the cashier spent quite a bit of time seated. I felt she could have been more attentive and accommodating, given our situation.
