Considering we don't have a lot of southern food up here, it was good. Not the same as Louisiana but definitely will do. Loved the atmosphere. Oh catfish was too thin tho and had too much batter.

Food is so good, I will definitely come back. The breading on the popcorn shrimp and fried catfish was crispy and airy and the seafood perfectly cooked.

So I used to be a fan of their hush puppies and chicken tender. But this time I was very disappointed. Not sure if they changed cooks since I was out of town for some time and haven’t eaten here since last time but it...Read More
