The good: our service from Vern was great. He’s a stellar guy and great at his job- attentive, professional, personable. We visited at night and missed out on the views. The restaurant is right on the river so daytime views have got to be great. They have a dock out back to for boat parking and to walk and take in the sights. The not great: the place sells all meals with this bar of random junk called “the fixings”. Honestly we couldn’t tell what any of it was, it’s random mush and slaws. The others end of the bar had cheese grits (I enjoyed those) and cinnamon apples (my friends ate those). The endless cinnamon buns are cute and smell nice when you walk in but one of those is plenty enough. As for the meal, I enjoyed our clam strips appetizer, solid with good texture. All three of us got the blackened mahi sandwiches because it was fish of the day. It was not a good value. Tiny thing filet you break in half to cover the bun. It’s smaller than a McDonalds fillet of fish sandwich. For $24 I do not recommend that, it’s a $10 sandwich at best. The green beans disappointed as well, canned green beans smothered in onions.

🤤 This is an unforgettable place. ( I ate b4 taking photos sorry about the photos in advance) Everything about it is fantastic! The food, the view, the service. Perfect. Don't get me started on the mouth watering homemade in front of you might I add... cinnamon rolls!!! The marshmallow pineapple fluff with the sweet potato fries was fabulous 👌

I've never been here before, so let's check it out. On the chalkboard outside I noticed it said blue jeans Sunday. Needless to say I wasn't wearing blue jeans. 😆 The ambiance with spectacular, especially on the second floor. Our group feels the server was attentive friendly and accommodating. It was somewhat busy. My whole Catfish was tasty, as was the hashbrown casserole. The cream spinach and sweet potato were really good 👍. My veggy omelette not so much a lil to oily for me. Someone in our group got the chicken and waffles, the hush puppies, the catfish bites, Mac and cheese, and chocolate chip pancakes. Everyone was pleasantly pleased as some went back for seconds. I would've loved to have had a pancake or cinnamon roll however the flour is enriched very unhealthy unsafe ingredient. Otherwise all was good We then continued outside to the dock where for .25¢ you can get some fish food and feed the catfish on the Halifax. Take some fun pictures, or just sit outside and enjoy the view of the river and the boats. There's also a small playground area outside where are the kiddos can play There's also live music at outside dining area. I will definitely return again. I would highly recommend this be a stop you make
