Great restaurant with wonderful service. The catfish and fried fish were the best that I’ve had in a long time. But the topper was the service
that we received from Candace, the waitress. She was friendly, funny and down to earth. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, if you’re in town.

Haven’t been here since back in 2018 and it’s like I never left. The all you can eat catfish and shrimp are incredible. You start with some awesome coleslaw and biscuits with jelly and then the stars of the show come out with some warm hushpuppies. The wait staff is friendly and welcoming. Its a must visit when im.passing thru.

I personally love the Restaurant for all the Catfish one can eat. In the past year the Cole slaw is not good at all. On Wednesday the hush puppies were not good. The quality of service has fallen off.
What tops it off the cashier was so rude to me. I said I was ready to check out. She say IM DOWN HERE. All she had to do was pick up the receipt and total. It but she simply was rude and disrespectful.
I felt a since of ( I’m Not Welcome in the Establishment ). I will never go back to to place that shows me I’m not welcome. The date was February 18, 2026 We enter the building at opening time. I hope the manager does not tolerate the rudeness from his employees.
I hope they can improve on the Cole slaw and hush puppies.
Wish Aunt Jenny the best in their hospitality .

Nestled in a wooded area of the back bay with stunning views of it throughout the restaurant is what has to be one of the best local restaurants in the area. The home decor and southern charm add to the appeal. We were quickly seated and brought out the most delicious biscuits. The butter, jelly, and marmalade made for perfect toppings to them. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and ensured that our drinks were always filled before they were empty, we never had to ask for refills. The food was perfectly cooked and piping hot when it was delivered to the table. The chicken had amazing flavor and the perfect crunch to the breading! Those that had the shrimp were equally pleased with the portions and the flavor of the dish. Overall it was an incredibly delightful meal one which we won’t soon forget. I can’t wait to come back here again in the future.

Great food at a good price. I had the catfish dinner and don’t regret it. Wonderful southern hospitality. The tarter sauce is amazing and dill free.

I went with my family for a get-together meal, and my experience is awesome, but has an issue going on, and that being the service, specifically timing. The orders are very accurate, but unfortunately one of the items resulted in a 4-Star Rating for the Service aspect. That item, somehow being some biscuits. And I will quote this from my Papaw: “I have never in my life gotten food before the biscuits and jelly.” Despite the bad timing in the biscuits, the rest of the food came out at the right time. And guess what? The food was really delicious. Oh, and not to mention the antique charm and stunning sunset views add to the experience.

Great atmosphere. Service was slow at first but once they took our drink orders everything else was quick. Catfish was very thin and had a lot of breading. The shrimp was better. Prices were kind of steep. Overall not sure if I will go back.

Gumbo was best Hubs ever had. I ordered the fried catfish, was excellent! My son ordered the fried chicken….waaaay overcooked, but he enjoyed the biscuits. Turnip greens, okra, and fried pickles were amazing! The whole staff was super friendly and attentive, even though we arrived half an hour before closing time. (I just assumed they were open all day, didn’t think to check the hours. Oops!)
Overall, a neat place…felt like home

1st- I do not doubt this place really could be a, “line-out-the-door” restaurant yet…. NO- perfect place but vibe was of being taken to the bank the whole time.
“ALL YOU CAN EAT”= false/LIE and if you get a box to take your 2nd, 8 peices of shrimp to go home-It’s considered, “Breaking the LAW! My mom needed a to-go box and without it being communicated, they took her plate and boxed it, & held at the cashier, hostage, which we didn’t know about which is/was, absolutely ridiculous. IF you are charging somebody for 1.5 plates, and forbidding them to take home the 4 they can’t eat, what happens?-! Tossed in trash? Naw….. You need to trust your customers. If, people want to take some in a purse home that they paid for, then let them. The $ you are saving is outbesting your performance due how you are treating those who keep you in business. There was no atmosphere except being watched like a hawk.
Catfish is NOT the price online. That changed a long time ago. It’s not 11. Or whatever for senior citizens. More like 17.95 and then those people are limited to 3 peices and one plate, tho listed under the, “All you can eat” umbrella. The CATFISH is filet….not a full fish. You can opt for fries or a sweet potato as sides.
Suggestions are stop policing your customer base. Either get rid of the, “All you can eat lie” or sell less and refill plates as needed. If somebody is abusing it, put a stop to it, but this is riduncula. Your name will be known by the much more vast loyalty to those true admirers of the product, coupled with the service you offer!
Prices need to be updated, and anything associated with bone-in catfish needs to be removed and clearly stated. As such, lowering your prices is in order. 13.95 and call it a day. There was no salad or baked potato option and you are charging as a restaurant that does. 2 options?!@&# no…
Fix it or offer the place to an interested party to buy you out or something.
The shrimp were tasty. The biscuit was nothing to write home about. My mom’s fish were so tiny for 17.95 with fries….-(no salad option)
Coleslaw was on the table. They would have tossed it too. The whole to-go-container fiasco was downright embarrassing. If one says they might need a to-go container it doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t want to munch on another luke-warm French-fry
While you get the container. Instead, the process was, “Let me take it from you, to the back, (unbeknownst to me, to never been seen again), and finally finding it was up at the register. Huh?! lower-class and that’s probably how the business is running about right now.
The waitress was nice. I paid for some real butter for the cold biscuit as I don’t do vegetable spread. That, too, was like getting it from the black market….lol.
My dad said the fried chicken was done-up right. He was limited to 3 pcs. Under an, “All you can eat menu”. We snuck out like bandits with a biscuit in each coat pocket, in a napkin- felt like, “BREAKING BAD”…
There was no nice, “Southern, Hey Ya’ll, come on in” greeting. The hostess seemed bothered and so busy and had issues keeping up with her waitresses and tables and who was doing what when asked. (Perhaps get walkies?)
Very little could be done to fix the mess made but a trust in your $ provider is needed. Even….IF you have instances of those wanting to abuse the policy, just your name would shine far above that mess and money would be waiting to pour in.
You are also charged a 3% FEE for using Card services…. huh?! Lol. ¡Oy Vey! No….
Don’t run it like the DMV…. come on
#ThinkAboutIt- call chef Ramsey do something.
Quite sad.
This place is bleeding- somebody fix it before it dies!
