Reviews
I hadn't read the reviews but I ended up here after riding around looking for somewhere to go on a Sunday night. I've driven past it a number of times but had never stopped. Tonight was the night! VIBE: TVs everywhere! Sunday night football could be seen from every seat. Surprise plus but definitely a surprise!! Music playing with a nice sound system. Just a touch loud but not blasting loud. Not the night club vibe of Houston - Turkey Leg Hut. Surprised that all the customers were black and so was the entire staff. Not disappointed, just surprised. I was more disappointed in me not knowing this was a locally owned eatery and appears minority run. I always support both .... I'm going to try local at every turn - FIRST. That's my belief. I may not go often but I'm going to try it to know especially in my search for "local gems" SERVICE: Warmly greeted and service was attentive, not overly so but attentive. FOOD: I had the red snapper and shrimp - fried. I was pleased. The fish was a little over cooked but was seasoned well and lightly battered. The shrimp was pretty good but the hush puppies were THE STARS of the show! They were excellente. The food was fresh! VALUE: 6 shrimp decently sized, two rather small pieces of snapper, a small helping of fries and 2 small hush puppies. Not a real good value but I've seen worse in the city by far! Give it a try! My biggest knock? The eating utensils! I didn't know they made such small plastic utensils. They were tiny tiny tiny, even a leprechaun would throw them over their shoulder and look for more. When I return I may need to bring my own "travel fork!" In fact I think I'm going to do that moving forward!
Not a fancy place but the food is awesome. We went once and that was it we are now repeaters. I'm in love with the fried catfish. The prices are reasonable for seafood. You should try at least once.
Been here a few times. They have some of the best food in town and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
Jessica and Tonya were amazing. The food is always great, and I love the entire atmosphere! I really well done establishment that more people should go out and enjoy!
