Great selections & they serve great portions. Plus service was super quick & the food was HoT! It was super delicious & hit the spot for my seafood boil craving this day. Another thing, it was seasoned really well because I am a sucker for seasoned seafood to enhance & not overwhelm. I would have loved more juice but it was still yummy!

Ladies and Gentlemen...WE HAVE A WINNER~!!!! 6*****…read more Food - OK, this is what G-d meant fried catfish to be. Moist. Flaky. Well seasoned coating. Crisp outside. Thermonuclear hot from the fryer. Just damn good fried catfish. On the downside...the fried shrimp were a bit on the small side and a bit too greasy out of the fryer...however, the shrimp flavor came through. Pre-fab packets of tartar sauce and ketchup are minor demerits; but, the cocktail sauce is homemade with visible flecks of horseradish. Hidden gem - in the bottom of your container, under the fish and fries, are marinated pickle and carrot slices AND a whole jalapeno. There's a kick here that adds a bit of extra spice to your meal. Warning, the tartar sauce and ketchup may be under your meal container hiding from you as everything is packed "to go", even if you're dining there. Dig deep to make sure you find everything. BONUS - canned sodas only and they're ONLY $1.00 (as of today...your experience may be different) Service - counter service with a pager for when your order is ready. The wait can sometimes be lengthy if the kitchen is slammed with take-out, call-in, delivery service, etc. orders...you really don't know until you get there. Ambiance - you gotta' want it to get it. The location is on the dark side of the fringe of a freeway/bridge construction/reconstruction zone. Once you figure out how to get access, the parking is challenging as there's one in/out and 4 separate storefronts using it...and the construction zone is right there.... All said, be courteous and patient and you'll find a spot. Upside - if you find a parking spot, you'll find a place to sit if you want to dine in. The place is clean, quiet, and has lots of TV's (for the size of the place) to keep you occupied while you wait on the kitchen. I found this place on a random Google maps search and I'm over the moon that I found it and braved the traffic to get inside. The food alone is worth the trip. Stick to what they do best - catfish - filets, strips, or steaks and you'll never be disappointed.

My friend said she loved it and wanted to go back. We definitely will. You will not be disappointed. They had a really good deal for a meal for 2 for like 80 bucks. So worth it.

Oh my gosh! This has to be some of the best seafood boil we have ever had in the dfw area! Hands…read moredown! First off, we were craving a seafood boil, specifically crawfish! We had been recommended Juicy's from multiple people, but the closest one to us is in fact this location, which is 20-25 min away! Which is why it took us so long to come in! I am so glad we finally decided to make the drive! I will say we did not expect the wait to be as long! We waited for approx 45 min for a table for 2. However, it was a Friday, and the food was oh so worth it! When I say there were so many people willing to wait for their table! It only speaks to the amazing food! For food we started off with some cheese sticks! They were fried to perfection! The cheese inside was indeed fully melted and the cheese pull we had is a testament to how good they were! For our boil, we decided to build our own! I will note they had a good variety of daily specials and there weekend special was so good too, we just were on a mission for some crawfish! We ordered one pound of crawfish, one pound of Black Mussels, and a half pound of snow crab legs! Every pound you order comes with potatoes and corn, and we ended up adding in egg! We chose the spiciest spice level you could, and got the juicy flavor (all seasonings combined)! BEST DECISION EVER! Overall, we cleaned the entire PLATE! It was such a great experience, from the service, to the vibes, everything hit the spot! This will definitely not be our last time in!

Unfortunately, my experience did not quite match the hype. I ordered the fried catfish fillet with collard greens, and while the meal was decent enough to eat, it was nothing particularly memorable. The catfish was cooked through, but it lacked the seasoning and crispy texture I usually expect from good southern-style fried fish. It tasted fairly plain and could have benefited from more flavor overall. The collard greens were also disappointing, as they seemed underseasoned and did not have the rich homemade taste that many people rave about in similar restaurants. The staff was courteous and the restaurant itself appeared clean and organized, so I can appreciate the effort in customer service. However, based on the food quality alone, I was left feeling underwhelmed considering the strong reviews and recommendations I had seen beforehand. It was not a terrible experience, but it also was not impressive enough to make me eager to return.
