We went on a Friday night. They were already pretty busy, and more were coming…read more We waited in line for a few minutes while other patrons were paying. It didn't take long. We were directed where to go and eat. They have quite a few different rooms, so they are able to accommodate a large number of people. They have a HUGE buffet of seafood that they are continually refilling so, for the most part, the food was really fresh and hot. I tried the fried shrimp and catfish. They were very good. There was also a salad bar and dessert bar. I had seen people raving about their desserts, so I saved room for that. I saw specific mention of the cinnamon rolls. I figured why not give one a try. Uh...dude...seriously....this was the BEST cinnamon roll I have ever had! The entire roll was soft like the inside and the icing wasn't like most being too sugary. It has to have some type of cream cheese icing that was the absolute bomb!! I finished one, and made a grand attempt at a second, though I was sore I could not finish it and had to leave it there. The prices aren't cheap, but the food is very good. My only wish is that you could just go for the desserts! You MUST try the cinnamon rolls!! If you happen to make a trip to the area, it's absolutely worth a diversion trip just to go there!

We had a very disappointing experience at Hollis Seafood in Spearsville. We reserved a room for my…read moregrandmother's 90th birthday with 25 guests, and were told we'd have the space for 1-1.5 hours. When we arrived, no room was reserved. Staff said it was a "miscommunication." We were required to pay upfront, and during payment one of our family members was rudely asked if they were "sure they were with the Barnes family" because of "how people were looking." Completely unprofessional. The staff pushed tables together so most of us could sit nearby, but when 2 family members arrived 40 minutes later, they were told they couldn't sit with us because "our time was almost up." Less than an hour into our meal, staff asked us to leave--even though we had not finished eating. Another large African American group had the same experience. When I questioned the manager, she said large parties only get one hour, but admitted this information is not posted anywhere. We left feeling disrespected and singled out. We paid full price but were rushed and treated poorly. What should have been a joyful 90th birthday celebration turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences we've ever had.

Strange thing here - almost every restaurant required wearing a mask on entering. Here, they insisted we continue to wear the mask until the food/drinks arrived at the table. Strange... The food was very good. The three of us had soup as a first course, and all commented on how good it was. I ordered the blackened catfish, which was served over cheese grits and covered with a generous scoop of etoufee, which was mildly spicy and very tasty. One in the group ordered the daily special and the other ordered from the menu. All meals were very well prepared and presented nicely. The only issue with the whole experience was the price. Three of us had soup, dinner, and one bottle of wine to share, and the final bill was $170 with the tip. We weren't really expecting this in the small town of El Dorado. Traveling on an expense account, it takes a little explaining to the boss. lol.

I'd eaten here once before and it was excellent. Unfortunately I pulled into an empty parking lot at 5:30 pm. Both Yelp and Mapquest confirmed that the restaurant should have been open, but there wasn't a soul in sight. I tried calling the phone number but it appears to either be disconnected or listed wrong all over the internet (I tried it from several different pages). It's a shame that this place has either went out of business -- or as another reviewer mentioned -- won't keep steady business hours. Worse yet is them saying they're open for business and not being so, especially when traveling in from a long distance.

Call ahead to be sure they are not out for the day before you drive to Farmerville for crawfish. The po-boys are well-filled and delicious.
