"You are greeted with smiling faces and friendly people from the moment you walk in. The menu is rather cheap for the quality of food you receive. The whole catfish is usually my go to, or the jumbo shrimp. Being born in Maryland I am very picky about my crab cakes but decided to give them a go since everything else here has always been great. The crab cakes were large, very crispy on the outside and moist and full of crab flavor on the inside. The jumbo shrimp were great as always and the catfish fillets nicely battered, and seasoned perfectly with salt and pepper. If your in thr area don't hesitate to stop in and enjoy some great food and beautiful smiles!"

"I ordered the broiled flounder with a potato and garden salad. The fish was so flavorful and good! I loved it. The baked potato was good and creamy and piping hot. My favorite side was the salad, they make their own dressings! The Thousand Island was tangy and so yummy. I was just really impressed with all aspects of our lunch yesterday. Can't wait to go back!"
