Visited from out-of-state. Got the grilled redfish and garlic mashed potatoes. (Meal came with coleslaw and hush puppies). Redfish was grilled perfectly… done inside, but not dry, nor was it wet and mushy. Potatoes were very good with a good serving portion. Coleslaw was awesome. I’m a bit of a coleslaw snob, but was very pleasantly surprised. Hush puppies, though, needed a little help. They were packy and not much flavor. Our server, Alan, was awesome. He was very pleasant and never let our drink glasses get empty. Will dine there again when I’m n the area.

Had a wonderful lunch with the crew at Chiquita. Fried pickles are to die for! The best homemade ranch dressing tho dip them in. We had a range of lunch specials. Shrimp, coleslaw, fries... Wonderful. The shrimp are big and battered delicious! Fried catfish has cornmeal crust, fresh! As my dad would say..."that's a yellow cat"! I had stopped coming here for a while due to service, but I'm so glad my crew decided on here .... Bring back the pickled onions🤍 I've been coming here since y'all was across the street in that big building🤍

The food was amazing. Took a small bites out of the food in the pick, it looked so good I couldnt help myself xD. Tasted as good as it looked too. The máshed potatoes were awesome and to my suprise, after being traumatizef by so many dry cornbreads, the cornbread in the pick ACTUALLY tasted like bread, almost like cake, except a bit more savory than sweet. The staff was nice, and this meal was satisfying. I cant remeber the name of the dish, but regardless, 10/10 would recommend, if you not sure where to eat in this area of town.

Wonderful service, great food. Cheyenne, our waitress was very helpful with my dad's very strict diet. They have a large gluten-free menu. They have grilled options if you don't want fried food. Very nice atmosphere. I'd give them 10 stars if I could! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’ve been coming here since 89 and I was born in 87. We spoke with Chris recently and I was able to introduce him to my boy who is Two and will be the six generation of my family that has continued to eat here. Simple easy local food. Not fast food not fine dining, good local diner food with a seafood focus. My heart has some purchase here as I grew up with my grandparents taking me with my great grandparents, my parents, cousins, aunts and uncles all here. Even back at the old location across the street. I’m a lifer here. Come on by and make some memories
