Very last shrimp bite tasted spoiled he said. stomach issues incurred at home after dinner. My fried cod fish and fries- umm the top piece was nice and flaky but the bottom pieces seemed tougher. All the pieces were tasteless, no salty goodness to it. I stopped eating after the first cod piece. We liked the ice tea. We both did not receive the advertised coleslaw. By the time she rechecked on us so we could let her know, were decided we were done eating. Overall, we probably won't be back due to the inconsistent food quality.

The outer crust was golden brown then there was about a half inch air pocket once your cracked the crust...and the fish was wet and yellow. I let the waitress know and she promptly took it back and brought a new piece of fish. It was the same way. Disappointing!

The crab cakes are absolutely not Maryland Style crab cakes but they are priced as if they are. Shrimp snd grits were OK. The Shrimp were a bit chewy. The seafood egg rolls were good! They are worth the money. Everything else was disappointing. It you are going to be open until 9pm you're going to have to find a way to have fresh seafood until 9 or shut the kitchen down earlier. Sorry if this reads harsh. Im a big fan of seafood, i'm from a city built around a seafood industry and I've had real maryland crabcakes.

I think we waited 2 minutes before we were seated lol. I had seen this restaurant once before and totally forgot about it until we were in the area and wanted seafood. The hubby is not a big crab boil fan so he usually opts for a fried seafood dinner. They have your usual menu items....pick your preference of seafood, seasoning and spice level. It was cheaper for us (myself & the cubs) to get the family platter instead of individual meals. Let me tell you something!! It did NOT disappoint!! Food was prepared fresh and very flavorful & plentiful. We decided on the Big Bang with a medium spice level. Our server was very nice and friendly and didn't mind answering a few questions and making sure our food was to our liking. Per usual, the hubby ordered a shrimp and fish platter which was also a nice portion. This is a great restaurant, so much so I have recommended it to several people!

Pricing is fair, food was tasty and the service was sweet, I will be back! I imagine this place is hopping on weekends/evenings. The atmosphere, vibe and food would ensure people line up.

Made it more chill. The service was not the fastest, but it didn't ruin the dinner at all. If I'm ever back in the area, I would come back to this spot.

LouReda's....it is the place you might pass by anytime you are in Rocky Mount. It is a small place…read moreas you find a place to go. But stop and step inside and it is bigger than you imagine. It is not fancy, but once you try something it is different. This is American Cooking but with a style that is special. See what awaits. When we went in I had worked up at the Rocky Point Markets for furniture both in the spring and the fall of each year. It was always filled with folks from everywhere to shop, and see and buy for the next season. There were plenty of places to have lunch. But when dinner came it was special. The local style of cooking was different. It might have the same meal as you would find in another region, but here it was different as it is based on the cook / chef. Tonight we stopped in and the person helping us was very special. She told us of what was available and what was not. She gave the details and let us order. First we had to have an Arnold Palmer. Naturally, it was different than the person down the block. This was not sweet as usually. It was an equal mike and perfect to have. It gave us something to think about. First up was the Mac & Cheese. But unlike normal Mac & Cheese, with this we ordered shrimp. Not what you expect, this was unique. The Mac & Cheese was a combination of fresh pasta and mixed with four different types of cheese. It was mixed together with a cream and butter. It was not a firm mix but a mix that was moist and tasty with each bit you took. That alone was a meal unto itself. Being mixed with shrimp was different. The shrimp where not small. They were a good size. And there was almost a dozen mixed in. They were not placed onto. Being mixed in they aded to the flavor and taste. There was no spices. Just fresh shrimp with pasta and a cheese mix. A dip of bread helped to take it all in. Next we did have Baby Back Ribs. These were very fresh and tasty. Cooked to the right point hthey literally fell off the bone itself with the touch of a fork. The taste was slightly mixed with honey. Sweet but spicy. Naturally had to have some home made coleslaw with this. Plus an order of sweet potato fries. And these were fresh. Alone with a drink these would have been a good snack to have together. I could have had another plate of these alone. The two dishes were perfect. Yet, we did need to have dessert when the couple at the next table ordered it and shared it. This was Bread Pudding, topped with vanilla ice cream and served with Bourbon sauce. This was heaven itself. You did not need more. There people could have shared this one item. Again, it was freshly made and warm. Ideal. The ice cream was made that morning. And, as for the bourbon, you could have had a glass of this. Spread over the bread pudding it was how we sometime drink an Irish Coffee. Had to have that taste with each bite. Overall, this was a special place to for a meal. It was truly unique for the region and for the chef. The team was a great help. The price was great. As for the people who were there, it was packed. Many came from the places where they are creating the new furniture and items that will be on display for the next market in Rocky Point for next spring. They knew where the place is and what to order. It is truly the right spot for a good meal. It is worth the visit next time I am in town.

We opted to split the Hungry Hungry Man between two of us. The fish was tender and cooked right, and the hush puppies were very good. Friends got the shrimp platters, they also had good portions.

The older gentleman who bagged our food was kind and accommodating. I couldn't wait until I got back to the hotel; I popped that shrimp right into my mouth and kept eating in the car. All of the seafood was FRESH! The batter was light but well seasoned. The hush puppies had great flavor but they were really dense. My only complaint was the tartness of the coleslaw. It was either too much mustard or too much vinegar. Overall the meal was superb and it didn't take long to prepare it. The next visit to Rocky Mount will include a visit to this market.

Cup of Pepper soup was very salty. Caesar salad was good with big slices of Parmesan cheese and lightly, perfectly dressed. Fountain sodas were exactly how a soda should be, perfect level of syrup to bubbly. We both commented on how good they were which was kind of odd, but so often fountain sodas are off. Wait staff were friendly and efficient. The dining room is so badly designed. The row of booths where we sat were along a wall where the doors to the kitchen are. You can hear dishes being washed, "backstage" staff talking loudly and occasionally cleaning smells. I don't know why they didn't make that a hallway and flip the booths to the other side. Weird vibe for a place that is supposed to be nice.
