Stopped in for a togo plate to avoid cooking dinner. Decided to get the seafood platter for $22 ($24.02 tax). It's definitely ALOT of food. Everything was cooked to order. The fries are crinkle fried and really good. The hushpuppies are amazing. The shrimp is really good. Wish I had just gotten a shrimp po'boy. I asked for the oysters to be fried hard, which they were but the inside was still soft. I did not like the oysters and the fish, mainly because of the batter they used. It has a lemon taste to it but it tastes more like that concentrated lemon juice versus fresh lemon. I tried pulling the batter off but the fish and oysters but there was no hope for the oysters but i was able to eat the fish once i pulled the batter off. Thats just my personal preference. One thing I can say, being a fisher woman myself, THEY DEFINITELY SERVE REAL CATFISH AND NOT THAT SWAI stuff. Won't say I will not go back, I just won't order fish and oysters. The lady behind the counter was very friendly but I can't say the same about the guys behind the counter. They didn't talk to me personally but didn't seem to friendly either. Maybe it's just me. Anyhow, give them a try, maybe you'll like them. Everyone has different tastes but most have the same expectations. I read the reviews AFTER I ate there just make sure it wasn't just me. Some people like the food and others don't, that's with any restaurant or business. What disturbed me however, was the response to the negative comments by ownership. Since they will probably read this, I will just say, you get more bees with honey than with vinegar. The reviews are bringing issues to your attention publicly and that's more reason to fix issues. Word travels fast and small adjustments with a lot of humility and kindness can go a long way! Again, the hushpuppies, fries and shrimp were good but I did not like the fish or the oysters! Be blessed!

Visited this place today for a quick bite to eat and was so pleasantly surprised! Got a muffaletta and a shrimp po-boy and they were so good! I recommend getting the muffaletta warmed so that the cheese is nice and gooey!

I come here to get the best hot sausage in the area a lot of people use the cheap links or patties but they use the primo. All of the other hot meals and sandwiches are good as well
