I've heard for so long how great the fish is here so I had to try them out. I was honestly disappointed. The catfish tasted like it had way too much salt in the batter. I honestly liked eating Jack's catfish better. The tarter sauce was fantastic. It had a great taste to it along with the hushpuppies. The cole slaw was very good as well. Over all I was not pleased with the outcome of the food and not sure if I will go back

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

So very close to 5*. I will have to go back to see. Folks were nice, but it took me a while to get acknowledged, but they were busy. First glance, good portions, first taste of fries, meh. First bite of catfish, meh....then the shrimp and GREAT. Took it home, put in the air crisper that evening. I found the catfish underneath was very good. Jalapeño hush puppies were really good crisper. Fries were still mediocre. If you live nearby, no need to drive into town good place. I will go back. It is a good value. I will try another side than fries. Hoping I can go another star.

Seasoned to perfection ♥️ The atmosphere was so chill People everywhere , sitting area with string lights (adorable) I can’t wait to go in the spring and enjoy a meal outside there Absolutely loved it !!
