    Great place! Maybe best catfish and fried whole wings I've had. Takes a little bit to get food but that's because it's prepared fresh and comes out piping hot! Only tiny complaint it was little warm inside but on there defense it was like 98 degrees outside. Definitely will visit again!

    The food was great. Got catfish filet. Was a little nervous when it said only 2. The filets were big. Cooked perfectly and tasted great. Fries were good. I liked the slaw, but that can be a matter of preference, and I really enjoyed the hush puppies. I definitely will go back when I am in the mood for some good catfish.

    Need better ventilation. Go in for lunch and smell like a fish fry all day.

    Love the taste! Tried the catfish, chicken strips and the pork chops all taste amazing! Full loaded fries are the best.

    The catfish was so fresh, hot and delicious! Love that the okra was not over fried. The hush puppies were moist & sweet and very addictive. Best caramel cake we’ve ever had. The caramel was so soft and thick on the cake. The cake piece was huge and very moist. Plenty for two to share. Hope we get to travel up this way again! Will be our lunch/ dinner stop for sure. Thanks for an enjoyable meal!
