I had the fried catfish and fries. It was delicious but if I can make one suggestion it would be to keep some spicy Cajun or Creole seasoning to sprinkle on everything to sprinkle.

The first time I ordered my meal was awesome, I really enjoyed it, and I'm an old-school senior, so if I say it's good, it's good.
