Reviews
The star of the show was their house made blue cheese dressing. It was amazing. We liked it so much that we bought a container to go home with us.
The atmosphere inside is a mix of sports theme and military decor. Clientele were relaxed. Sound was at a level where we could enjoy conversation while also enjoying the music.
This will be a regular spot for us.
As an added note, they let us the space to celebrate the 250th birthday of the USMC. I would have given a sixth star to them for that if I could have.
When it comes to the food it is out of this world amazing! Portion sizes are generous and you can taste the freshness.
I recommend this place for a great lunch or dinner
For context, we regularly order broiled shrimp at Catfish Place, where a pound of shrimp usually lands somewhere around 18–24 shrimp depending on size. Pretty standard. I’ve been ordering shrimp in restaurants my entire life, and that range seems to be the industry norm.
So imagine our surprise when our “pound” arrives and… it’s 11 shrimp. Not 18. Not 24. Eleven. At that point it felt less like a pound of shrimp and more like a shrimp sampler.
We mention it, and a manager comes to the table carrying a scale, which is already a bold move. She weighs the shrimp and proudly announces it’s .9. As in, 9 ounces. For reference, a pound is 16 ounces, so unless the restaurant has recently adopted a new experimental math system, we were still missing a decent portion of shrimp.
The confidence required to bring a scale to the table to prove yourself right, while being objectively wrong, is honestly impressive.
Then the explanations began evolving in real time,
First it was “we used to offer half-pound portions, so that’s how they’re bagged.”
Then it was “it’s the type of shrimp we use now.”
So now we’re on Excuse #2 for why the pound of shrimp appears to be roughly half a pound.
Eventually we do get the rest of the shrimp. Case closed, right? Of course not.
After the meal, just when peace had returned to the table, the manager comes back to inform us that the original portion was actually correct because they weigh the shrimp frozen when portioning them.
And then, because apparently this was now a courtroom drama, she brings out a bowl of large frozen shrimp covered in ice and puts them on a scale at the table to demonstrate that it equals a pound. Raw, frozen, ice-covered shrimp. Tableside.
I understand weighing food raw in a kitchen. Totally normal.
But weighing it frozen with ice, then presenting it as evidence during dinner service because you refuse to lose the shrimp argument, that’s a new level of commitment.
Anyway, if you want steamed or broiled shrimp, just go to Catfish Place. They’ll give you an actual pound, and significantly less courtroom theatrics.
And before they come commenting saying they comped the shrimp meal, keep in mind it took 3 stories before we got to the real reason the shrimp was less than a pound.
Let me edit to add: a scale was never requested. I simply said if you were to weigh that it wouldn’t be a pound. And I was right.
Also: weighing food raw – yes, correct, standard practice.
Weighing food covered in ice – no, wrong. Not standard practice.
It’s also best practice to thaw the shrimp before boiling to avoid that rubbery taste. Since it’s your first day in the restaurant industry, hope this helps!
Food was served promptly, our cups were never empty.
Plenty of pelican g, clean restrooms.
Specious place.
I was shocked how inexpensive the lunch options are.
