Very good. We at the fried fish, taters, coleslaw and hush puppies. Everything was delicious. Hush puppies were huge.

Overall the meal was great. I had the seafood platter. Fish and shrimp were great. The crab was good but a little small. Hush puppies definitely a HIT! I also tried the gumbo but it doesn’t stand up to New Orleans style. Would love to see whole catfish added to the menu!

I wish there was some redeeming qualities for this dumpster fire of a restaurant. Everything was simply swamped in Greece. The fish was a soggy greasy mess. You can have better fish from a bait shop. Their pathetic attempt at homemade french fries was nothing but an undercooked soggy mess of potatoes and they’re so-called hush puppies might as well have been called a grease soaked roll. Our visit was February 20, 2026. Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else. if you want fish go to Captain D’s.

I walked in, unknowingly, right at closing. I turned to leave, and the nice lady asked me if I would like an order to go. She saved me from motel Ramen. And the food was great. The shrimp were tasty. The chicken was moist. I may go back tomorrow.

I was super excited about this visit. Not what I was hoping for. The service was good. If you’re going to eat here, stay with the fish. I tried the all-you-can-eat. The catfish was ok. It should have been outstanding. The chicken was tender; but, dry and lacking in flavor. The shrimp was chewy. The sides were good. My 1st basket was the last, and I couldn’t eat the shrimp. The facilities are aged and in need of a good cleaning. I’ll try a different restaurant on my next trip to Athens.

The catfish was crispy & served hot. I had a baked potato as my side & it was yummy. The Tea was sweet, just how I like it & my server is a hard working blonde ♀️ haired woman.

Man this place was really good. I knew the owners were fairly new from the last time I had eaten here. Stacy was a great waitress. They had hush puppies the size of baseballs!
Everything was perfectly cooked. Best fried catfish you will find.

Wow! Can’t beat their prices and service. You get A LOT of food you have to take it home. I don’t pass through here often but this is my #2 favorite catfish restaurant in all my travels through the south. #1 place is in Arkansas. So this would be the Best In Texas! Their first original menu is hanging on the wall (photo attached) along with their current menu as of April 2024.

First place we went to after moving to Athens. Everything is great! From the down home atmosphere, to our hard working waitress, Stacy, to the perfectly seasoned catfish. We always leave full, happy and satisfied. One of those places you always take family and friends when they visit.

We visited for the first time ever on a night that they had people singing gospel music. The music was the only thing good that I can say about the place. The food was absolutely horrible to the point of inedible. We didn’t even finish our meal. The wait staff was just as bad as the food. We couldn’t get their attention to take our order. When we finally did get to order, the food was not good at all and when the lady brought it to us she asked if we needed anything else and also gave us our ticket right then and NEVER RETURNED to our table to check on us. Both waitresses walked right by our table several times and we literally could not get their attention. At one point they completely disappeared from the dining room for about 20 minutes. We had to go to the kitchen door to ask for a refill on our drinks. When the lady FINALLY came to refill them she asked if we were doing ok and we told her no we were not ok and she had the nerve to tell us that “sometimes it is valued to not be ok”. I have to wonder why you would EVER say that to a customer that you are supposed to be taking care of and probably expecting a tip from. Needless to say I don’t think we will be back. The photos I am sharing are of the food that we didn’t finish. You can see where a piece of chicken was burnt and some of the fish was almost burnt and too dry to eat. This meal was just not worth the $28 and change that we had to pay for it.
