Got our food to go. The place appeared to be pretty clean. I got shrimp and whiting dinner with a side of sweet fries (sweet potato fries), and mom got a shrimp and catfish dinner with same side. When we got home, we could not differentiate our plates. It looked and tastes exactly the same. I wish I took pics of our meals. It's great that our portions were plentiful. My fish and shrimp were beautifully fried, but it lacked seasoning. I did very much enjoy the sweet potato fries. The cinnamon brown sugar concoction for the fries was strange. The flavor was off putting and the texture was weird. They had a steady stream of customers coming in, and were getting the orders out quickly. Made me nervous for how hard the fish may be fried. Thankfully that was far from the case.

I literally have mixed feelings about this restaurant. *Pros: friendly staff, food was hot and fresh, didn't take much time to recieve order *Cons: sketchy location, not the cleanest of establishments, fried fish had no seasoning literally used hot sauce and tartar sauce for flavor, overpriced for frozen/store bought hush puppies, prices don't reflect quality of food Overall I wasn't impressed. Although my food looked appealing it lacked MAJOR flavor; which made me feel like the $11 spent wasn't worth it. Doubt I would return

Catfish Nuggets Basket w/Fries
Christa F.

I ordered the Catfish Nuggets Basket w/Fries and they were delicious! They weren't cooked to death. I'm fact I put them in the oven for just a few minutes and they were just right. The flavor was really good. The fries were also perfect, crispy on the outside and soft inside. I had so much catfish left that there was enough for today, but they were mysteriously gone when I decided to have lunch. Lol! I'll definitely try those again. I also noticed on a white board that's they now have salmon nuggets. I'll most certainly go back to try those. I would've gotten them had I seen the sign initially.

Shrimp & Flounder Basket

Very disappointed in my $15.95 shrimp and flounder basket. Showed the lady my proportion of food and she said the flounder is weighed. No problem I won't be back. ‍

Great place to stop in for lunch. Fried seafood is basically the entire menu. Portion sizes of food are very filling. You definitely won't leave here hungry

Delish fried whiting, sampling of fresh collard greens and a hush puppy.

Just got into town and was hankering for seafood. Our go to spot was closed for another hour and I couldn't wait that long. A friend recommended 42 Fry so we went there instead. It was a very clean establishment, and we were greeted as soon as we entered. Okay, off to a great start! They had a varied menu - all types of seafood prepared many ways. We opted for a whiting dinner since it came with 5 pieces of fish, hush puppies, a side and a drink. We picked greens as our side btw. The wait was minimal, and all the food came out piping hot. First bite of greens was excellent; tender, seasoned well and best of all not from the can. Next up Cole slaw. Now the slaw was slightly sweet, again nicely seasoned. The only thing about it is that there wasn't enough. The very very small container was something like what you have in the grocery store. Just enough to make me annoyed for not ordering an extra side. The hush puppies were crispy on the outside, and so delicious on the inside. I loved the fish!!! Fried to perfection, good portion and enough for me and hubby to enjoy what I considered a cheap eat about $14. Sorry my pic isn't the best...I told you I was hungry...

Let me start by saying the fish was amazing! I got the catfish and shrimp combo with fries. The fish and shrimp both had the perfect amount of breading and had great flavor. The only reason I am giving them 4 stars is due to the amount of shrimp that was given with the combo. The amount of fish was perfect but you can see the small amount of shrimp that was given in the pictures. I would also say the tarter sauce was a little sweet for my taste but all in all this place is a spot not to pass up. The seating inside is limited with approximately 6 or so 4 top tables.

These guys do a great job with fried fish. Never greasy and always fresh. I would go as far as to say in terms of fried fish they are the best in town. It's not a very large place so at times there can be a line.

They don't answer the phone for To-Go orders, they provide a menu online and tell you to order and yet there isn't the capability and the worse part, if you do show up, social distancing isn't in place. After being so annoyed, I took my business elsewhere which aggravated more because I wanted to support the black owned business and even more so on this day but as usual epic fail! Can't ever blame the community for trying.

Crab & shrimp Po Boy, fries & Cole slaw.

This is my 2nd lunch visit and I found that I can get my fish & shrimp grilled .... YES!!!! ..... The catfish & shrimp are seasoned & fried done, not hard like _____ Absolutely delicious! I love the spiciness of the sauce and the roasted corn was quite tasty.

Shrimp po boy

First time eating here.... Taste wise it's good, but was drowned in sauce. Would prefer the option of lettuce and tomatoes. There is a wait but my food was freshly fried and hot!

My whip cream. But yea patti pie.

So it's high time I leave a review for Old Town Draft House. I've been here numerous times and I'm…read moreonly writing my first review now. Such an amazing spot. Jill and Kayne, who previously created KAU at Revolution Mill before selling it to Pepper Moon, also own Old Town Draft House and Boulder's Bar and Grill. Each and every one is amazing in its own way. Old Town has been one of the longest standing establishments, and it puts out incredible food! Burgers, wraps, apps, salads, wings, sandwiches, Philly's, even a burrito... you name it. Pretty much everything that comes out of this kitchen is a hit. Today I had the chicken Philly. Yep, the best chicken Philly I've had in a very long time. The classic soft Philly hoagie, chicken that's tender and juicy, peppers and onions full of flavor with the perfect consistency (not too limp, not too raw), all topped with oozing cheese that they're not shy with. I'm salivating just thinking about it as I write this...may have to go get another one tomorrow lol. The housemade chips and dip were perfect with it. Great craft beers, local options, and everything in between round out a perfect pub in the heart of UNCG. This one is definitely in the rotation. No matter what owner couple Jill and Kayne do, they do it amazingly well.

This is a location that has been on my bookmarks for a long time, but I'm honestly not sure why I…read morehaven't been there sooner. On a Saturday afternoon, I was in Greensboro and in the mood for some good pretzels and a draft beer, and this hit the spot. Old Town Draught House has a very old bar ambience, without feeling worn out and dated. I love the old dark wood throughout the building. They have a pretty broad draft beer menu, along with normal bar offerings. I was happy to see multiple sour beers on the list, because that's exactly what I was in the mood for. There's no table service, and it is seat yourself, but the bartenders were very attentive, and it was never difficult to place an order at the bar. We ordered a few beers and decided to get deviled eggs and the pretzels as appetizers to share. Food came out very quickly. The pretzels were pretty good, but I've had better elsewhere. Rather than being crispy, they were soft and a bit soggy, but the flavor was great. The beer cheese was on point, although I would've preferred a spicy brown mustard over yellow mustard. The deviled eggs were a bit of a letdown, because it was just a hard-boiled egg cut in half with a little bit of sweet chili peppers and dressing that tasted like 1000 Island on top. When I think of deviled eggs, I anticipate the egg yolks being removed, mixed with a few ingredients, and piped back in. For what was basically two eggs cut in half, the six-dollar price tag was steep. Overall, we had a great experience, although I would likely choose different food options next time. The bar staff were great, the beer offerings nice, and the ambience was a good vibe.

On recommendation from my son, checked this place out. Packed on a Sunday evening but wait time was…read moreonly 10 minutes. Our server Bronny was great. She was literally hoppin' it was so busy but did a good job of keeping up. She helped me find items on the menu that fit my dietary restrictions. Nice vibe, laid back, loud. Parking isn't great limited onsite but there's plenty of additional parking across the street. The best menu! There's SOOOO many things I want to try. I mean, a variety of different fries are you kidding me? My friend had the spicy goat burger which she said was good: if you don't like messy don't get it because the sauce is very sticky and she said there needs to be more sauce on the burger. I had a customized salad which was huge and delicious. The salad was too big for the size of plate though. The dressing was a house made roasted shallots and was yummy. Outdoor and indoor seating. Not in Greensboro often but I'm coming back here!

Finally got back to Hops. This experience was underwhelming. I tried to eat here the night before…read morebut was too crowded. Since I was driving back by on my home the next day, had a late lunch. Arrived around 3pm on a Friday and sat at the bar. Given the hour, it was fairly quiet. Weird experience, bar was wide open. I went to the bathroom and when I came back, someone decided to sit in the seat right next to me. Why?! I must comment on the service. The barkeep got me a menu quick and I ordered a water. During my meal, my water sat empty for 5 minutes or so even thought I counted 8 staff members behind the bar. Given the time of day, it was not busy. I ordered onion rings (as a side) and the Bacon Jam burger as it came with the "cordon Bleu" fries. The onion rings stole the show. So good. The fries were not my jam. Low quality cheese sauce with lunch meat ham that was diced. My fault, I should have subbed regular fries as I don't like stuff on my fries. I was expecting it to be a seasoning. My mistake. The burger was good not great. I got the 12 oz size and learned it is 2 fat 6 oz. patties stacked. Makes it VERY tall. The description of this burger is shown in one of my photos. Again, it was good but the flavors just did not pop. Wish I got the French Onion burger. Next time. :-) I do recommend!
