Five of us ate there last night. The place is not new to us but it is under new ownership. It was…read moreour second visit since the change. They open at 3:00 on Saturday. We arrived about 15 minutes before they opened, since we didn't check their hours. There were several folks waiting to get in when we got there. Robert opened the door and told us to come wait inside! We each had the 3 pc filet plate with fries and 2 big delicious hush puppies and the salad bar. I always judge the hush puppies and these were A++. Some of us took advantage of the complimentary ice cream. The food was delicious, piping hot and they didn't scrimp on the portion sizes. I saw a review fussing about price increase, but prices have gone up everywhere. I would rather pay a little more and get good food, than get mediocre food at a cheaper price. My husband and I ate for less than $35, a very fair price for the quality and quantity. If you haven't been here, or if you haven't been lately, do yourself a favor and go have the best fish around.

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.

After a few minutes one came over asking if I wanted the buffet which looked good but I wasn't that hungry. I ordered a Po Boy off the menu. It took a really long time. All the while watching the waitress try and get something off her shoe. Once the cook said my food ready, she was still messing with her shoe. Someone else brought my food. Once I started to eat it, it was slathered in mayo and there were very few shrimp on it. The few that were supplied were tasty.The fries were cold. I ate about half my meal and left all the fries. No one ever checked on me or asked if I wanted a refill in my drink. This place has potential if the employees cared. I won't be returning when in the area. Maybe it was just a bad day but that was my experience. I dislike giving bad reviews but I was nauseous the rest of the day from all the mayo

If you know good crawfish, you'll appreciate what they're doing here…read more If you're in the mood for boiled crawfish, this is the place. I've been eating crawfish for as far back as I can remember, and these folks clearly know what they're doing. The menu is limited, but honestly that's part of the charm because what they do, they do right. Finding the place is part of the adventure. The road in is dark and a little strange the first time you drive it, and you might even wonder if your GPS has lost its mind... but keep going. It's absolutely worth the find. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the owner, Ben Christmas, was especially sweet. It's one of those rustic, no-frills spots where the crawfish are the star and the people are just as good as the food

During one of the early visits we had to tell the waitress that the seafood gumbo needed to be heated up because it was at room temperature. I'm hopeful that they read these comments because another Yelper called it tepid temperature which I agree. This shouldn't happen at all! The flavor of the gumbo was fine but wished it was slightly thicker with more ingredients. The seafood fried sampler was fantastic! Perfectly fried and clean oil. The shrimp was plump and delicious. Overall a good restaurant that needs some attention to food temperature. I wanted to watch a NFL game on Fox and the poor waitress tried to change the channel but wasn't able to. They have TV's all over the restaurant but only ESPN?! It's a pseudo sports bar with no other sports channels.

Shrimp really good and sides and gumbo are just right. Parking looked full but plenty of table space still available inside. They are known for very prompt service and food, so they apologized when it was going to take 10 minutes as they had just turned in orders for 2 parties of a dozen. Prices are quite reasonable, getting homemade quality for just about a dollar over commercial chains, with plenty of food on the plate. Unsweet tea was just brewed and better taste than you would expect... Worth the extra short drive around town to get there, and quite fine staff as well. Try it, you'll like it.

I visited Crawdaddy's Kitchen for the first time on Sunday, August 30, with a group of 3. We were…read moreseated immediately at 12:31 PM, so initially everything seemed to be going well. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. It took over an hour for us to receive our food. We ordered shrimp and grits and two shrimp and fish platters. During the wait, I asked our server twice what was taking so long. Both times, I was told that they had a large party on the patio. While I understand that large parties can put additional pressure on a kitchen, that really shouldn't come at the expense of other customers who were seated and ordered before or around the same time. If the restaurant isn't able to accommodate a large party while maintaining reasonable service for other guests, there should be better planning and communication. What made it even more frustrating was watching other tables around us receive their food before we did. When I questioned the delay, the response was essentially that "some food takes longer than others." I understand that certain dishes may take more time to prepare, but waiting over an hour without any proactive communication or explanation was disappointing. This was my first visit, and unfortunately, the experience left a poor impression. I really wanted to enjoy the restaurant and give it a fair chance, but based on the service we received, I highly doubt we'll be returning. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because customers shouldn't have to repeatedly ask about their food after waiting that long.
