The catfish was really good, and the BBQ sandwich was also very good tasting. The only thing off was the coleslaw was frozen, but the food was so good that we overlooked that error that was probably a fridge issue. They offered fresh...Read More

Good place to get some fried catfish and they offer meals or an all-you-can-eat buffet. They offer it filleted or steaks, if you prefer those. I also like their frog legs. They have all the sides that go with a plate of catfish and they...Read More

I went on a weekday. It was not too busy and the staff was exceptional. Great choices on the buffet. Everything was fresh and even better they were announcing hot items from the kitchen and bringing the items by our table, even hot cookies. 11...Read More

Seafood buffet with a few bbq items. All the sides and fixings you could ask for. Food wasn't bad, but it was definitely not worth $20! They dont do to go drinks either. They charge to use a card :<

Food was ok. Sauces weren't labeled. There wasn't a whole lot of variety since it was a buffet. The service was good. Atmosphere was meh.

Food was great tbh but it wasn't the cleanest place ever and I really did not understand the billing. Probably not a place to take little kids because it is quite expensive if you have picky toddlers like us. Service was great as well.

The intercom was busted so someone had to come outside to take my order. Then when I pulled around, a dine-in customer had blocked the drive-thru. It was all handled in a timely manner. Everything was freshly made and it was yummy.

The fish was mid. The bbq tasted burnt. This restaurant tries to get over on customers if they do not like the food. I was charged an extra $15 because of food that my partner and I didn’t enjoy. They threatened to call the police...Read More

Well-maintained, quality buffet — right up until closing time. Friendly staff courteously insured that we had everything we wanted before shutting down the bar after 8 PM, and not a minute before. Catfish was well-prepared in four different styles, including broiled. Smoked, pulled pork was...Read More
