Their menu varied from nachos to fried seafood. I ordered their fried shrimp and fish platter with the side salad and fries. The fish was hot and good. I believe they use real catfish, unlike some of the other restaurants. Next time I make ask them to fry it a little harder but it was indeed good! The side salad had that shredded lettuce so it was ok. The shrimp were seasoned and fried well too.

What a huge mistake to come here. I was craving some good Enchilladas. I initially went to Dairy…read moreQueen only to get my heart broken. They do not sell Enchilladas anymore. I started hunting and based off of pictures and reviews, I found Casa Hernandez. I drove over there but they were not open. Probably due to Beryl. I decided to go to the old Schultz, now known as Diamond W. That was a complete mistake. The Enchilladas were dry as the Sahara, and no chili gravy. Just Hamburger meat inside the tortilla and cheese on the top. It comes with 3 and I guess they got lazy on the 3rd one. It hardly had nothing in or on it. I definitely will not be going there again when I'm in town. Ughhhhh...

My taste buds are on sensory overload right now! I have seen Georgia Mae's Good Eats in town and…read morehave never heard a bad sentiment. So, when they were at my Annex today, I decided to give them a try. Although there are a ton of options to add, I went with my go-to... classic burger dry, with tomatoes and pickles. Guys, this burger was perfection. Juicy and savory and just right. And enough for me to cut in half and save the second for supper tonight (although I really wanted to eat the whole thing right then and there!) The meal also came with fries that had a Cajun blend spice. I am from Louisiana, so this is always a majordomo test. I'm not sure which blend they created, but it is spot on fabulous. And as an added bonus, the incredibly friendly lady (I'm sad I didn't ask her name) asked if I had ever tried their avocado ranch. I had not, so she handed me some of their homemade goodness and told me to dip my fries in that. AMAZING!! And corrected me from my misguided notion that all Ranch dressings are the same. I will definitely be going back and make sure you do as well!! You will not be disappointed.

Georgia Mae's scores a 10+ across the board. Professional. Service. And man can these women cook!…read moreCatered our event and everyone could not stop talking about the food! Fair pricing as well. Book early...they are going to be in high demand!

The spaghetti & sauce was nicely seasoned, I'm just not too sure about whether they used fresh chicken breast or canned ones. I was curious about that. Other than that everything was fine.

We heard about this place from friends and are so glad we tried it! Their burgers are the best we've ever tasted! (I had the swiss mushroom burger). They are fresh, delicious and the portions are extremely generous! Two people in our party had the baked potatoes and WOW! They are huge and loaded with toppings! The steak fries and sweet potato fries are also mouthwatering. Their chicken was very tender.... whether in a sandwich or in a salad. The prices are very reasonable and you get a lot for really fresh, fabulous food. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the service is outstanding. There are two tv's, free wi-fi, it's family run and the atmosphere very family friendly. It's easy to drive by, so a large sign would be helpful....... don't miss it. It's located in the strip behind the only McDonald's and Mr. Getti's on Mechanic Street. We will definitely be back and will tell all of our friends about it! read more
