I was right in the middle of moving that day and got hungry and remember about this restaurant. So me and my friend girl stopped in to get a to go dinner and when we come in. We started having good a good time, fellowshipping with some of the people that was on the outside and when I got in the inside everybody was just wonderful. I'm a friendly person, so you don't take much to make a friend.But the environment is what you like when you come to a place where you eat at and most people are regulars.So yeah, I missed this place.Be back soon.Good , good food

My first time dining at this restaurant! While coming thru late 1 evening from out-of-town, I began craving fish. I had heard of this place & this was the BEST choice ever!! My friend got senior fried, s& catfish fillet & I had the broiled s&p catfish fillet with the best sweet potato! YUM-O!! Even though I'm out of town as well, I will be going back here to eat... DEEE--- LISH!! 5* all the way!

Haven't lived here long but glad we stopped at this Gem, food was hot fresh and delicious. Salt and pepper catfish with delicious onion rings for good shrimp was delicious chicken tenders for delicious and fries or crunchy and sweet tea was not drenched in sugar. It was very very good. Our server Rebecca was very knowledgeable of everything they had and was a great waitress, and we asked to be able to sit in her spot next time we come. We will definitely be back.

I cannot even begin to express how amazing Darlene's service was. She went absolutely above and beyond during our visit. She took every opportunity to ask us how we were doing, if we needed anything, and had such a great personality that brightened up the room. Speaking of, the look of the restaurant itself was gorgeous! I hadn't actually been here before the remodel, so I'm not sure what it looked like before, but my friends and I were very impressed. And the food, of course, was stellar! We were all very happy with our meals and the prices are super great! I had some tasty salmon, and my friends got the ribeye and the jumbo shrimp. Now, I will say that we were eyeing the cakes as we left...next time we'll be ordering a few slices! P.S. You guys have the best raspberry vinaigrette I've ever had...and Darlene, thank you for making our night wonderful! You were absolutely amazing and we will be back!! Thank you for giving us a great experience tonight!

Thoroughly enjoy dining here tonight. I got the Senior size fried Flounder & shrimp. Plenty of food. Came with slaw & baked potato. My wife ate the baked Salmon with a sweet potato. Hers also came with slaw. Endless hushpuppies. Didn't even have to ask for more, they just brought them out. The service was exceptional. The flounder was cooked just right. Fluffy. Not hard. The shrimp were tasty. And not rubbery. The Salmon was cooked just right too. We couldn't have been more pleased. I'd recommend.

What a beautiful place inside. Haven't been there in a few years and thought we would give it a try. What a very nice place. The waitress was over and about to do her job. We got our drinks quickly and our food came out soon after. It was hot and plenty food for a senior plate. Everything was very tasty. The price was more than fair. Thank you. We will be back soon.
