Burger was better expected, fried shrimp were good, catfish was good did have one piece that was dark but had zero hopes of being a good meal. So I was pleased with the experience. A better selection of sauces would be nice as I am not a fan of Kraft individual serving type sauces.

Ordered carryout. Always fresh, food is always very well prepared. I normally will order carryout 2-4 times a month.

Visiting the area while staying in a vacation rental on Lake Malone. Our kids really wanted fish since they have been fishing all week. We decided to stop here for lunch to fulfill their craving. Because two of us are medically fragile we have not eaten in a restaurant for the past six months. To be honest, we were nervous to expose our at-risk kiddoes. However, our concerns were immediately lessoned upon entering the restaurant. The tables they are using have been separated by tables that are clearly marked to not sit at, spacing everyone in the building large distances from each other. The salt and pepper and other condiments are in individual containers and/or being cleaned before delivered to the table. The food was delicious and a good quantity for the price. The fish was so hot one of us burned our mouth (another plus for staying safe during COVID). The only complaint would be a lack of Malt Vinegar, but to be honest, I am the only one in our family who would ask for it. Thanks for a great first meal out in many months.

WOW! WAS I SURPRISED!! I've lived in this area for only a few months and had never tried this place out. I wish I had tried it out sooner. It's pure country, but that's what I want when I'm craving catfish. The catfish wasn't greasy plus it was so flakey. Not overcooked at all. The baked potato was fluffy and hot. The slaw was some of the best restaurant slaw I've ate. They even have white beans on the menu. Which is a must along side of catfish. Then to top it off was the price. WOW! 3 adult dinners, with drinks and appetizers for 35. Great place to eat unless you want to pay twice as much for atmosphere..lol... doubt if the food will be as good as this place.

Food was fantastic. Building is a little old and benches have rips, but dont let that deter you. When we asked the waitress what she recommended, she said, "I don't know. I don't eat here." She was very nice and timely with drinks and everything we needed, though. I would highly recommend training on what sells and how to recommend dishes. I would still recommend this to someone wanting great, homestyle food.
