The fresh Alabama raw oysters were absolutely fresh and delicious. I'm not a grits fan, but my husband ordered the shrimp and grits and the texture and taste was on point ! Hush puppies...yum! Mahi Tacos yum yum...and a sample of the gumbo will have us coming back. Delicious food, cozy family atmosphere, and fríendly attentive staff. So glad we stopped in at this local gem! We will definitely be making it stopping point along our travels! Stop in, you'll be glad you did!

Everything is blackened and heavily seasoned. I think the thing that threw me off the most was the place is dusty and filthy. Not a little dust but enough to coat absolutely everything in thick dust. When you spend 100 dollars on 2 meals a beer and a sweet tea you have higher expectations than a filthy place. Plus the bathrooms are so small you can barely move in there. It just a really old run down restaurant. Plus they only take cash or check. I wasn't happy. We drove an hour here cause everyone said it was the best. We won't make that trip again.

Everyone raved about the food which was delicious and generously portioned. Everyone from the hostess, the wait staff, the kitchen staff, etc were exceptional! We even had 2 attendees who arrived late and the staff was able to promptly take their dinner orders and get their food out to them in a timely manner so they were able to eat with the rest of us. The restaurant and bathrooms were very clean and well kept. It was a delightful experience, enjoyed by us all! On behalf of Bainbridge Christian Academy High School Class of 1976, THANK YOU POND HOUSE!!!

This was just okay. I was optimistic by the appearance of the restaurant. The restaurant was newer,…read moreup to date, and clean. We were the only people in the restaurant at dinner time which was a little concerning. The fried green tomatoes were good with their house sauce. My shrimp and cheese grits were good, but just good. The house sauce was put in the bowl, but in my opinion it ruined the simple cheese grits and shrimp. Honestly, less is more. This bowl had a lot of the house dipping sauce, cheddar cheese and goat/feta like cheese, green onions, and bacon. The shrimp was good. I got the Petite bowl and it came with 5 shrimp and 4 hushpuppies. The hushpuppies were just okay. Not much flavor. Would have liked the dipping house sauce on the side of that rather than poured in my got bowl. My boyfriend got the tacos and they were huge! The tacos were pretty good! No complaints there. He got hushpuppies too and got a side of the house sauce. Overall, I think I'd rather try another local restaurant next time.

The guy at the register was friendly, answered all our questions with a smile and knew all the answers, like sauce info, portion sizes, etc. we ordered the Loaded Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer. I could have had these for my entree and be happy, they were so delicious! The perfect combination of tanginess from the tomatoes with the Wharf sauce, feta cheese, bacon, and chives. I was a little bummed that they did not have enough grits for a grits bowl, just enough for a couple of sides, so I changed my mind to the Honey Pecan Shrimp (fried) and I am glad I did. Spouse got the Wharf Shrimp (grilled). The shrimp and hush puppies were really great tasting! The grits were okay, but needed a little salt. The cashier at the register was also the person bussing tables, and he was serving food, and was the bartender as well. He was staying busy! The inside is decorated nicely and was clean.

My parents love Nate's as it is one of their favorite places for seafood…read more However, I am not a seafood eater but I found myself impressed with Nate's non-seafood offerings. Let's start with the most impressive. My cousin ordered a ribeye sandwich. He might as well have ordered a whole ribeye just on a piece of bread because that is what he got! That will be what I order next time at Nate's! I ordered Nate's Hot Dog as it was already mid-afternoon and we were going to eat again in a few hours. This was the most delicious hot dog I've had in a while. The chili was thick and rich! The slaw made it a tangy treat! I chose the salad bar as my side and it is what you would expect from an old school salad bar with a few veggie choices, Captain Wafers, and some salad dressings. My stepson got the burger and the burger looked fantastic and humongous! He doesn't usually brag on things unless it was really good and he could not stop talking about it. My wife wasn't happy with hers though. She said her BLT had no mayo and she did not like the corn nuggets. My sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! The decor is something to behold as it has bits and pieces of Slocomb's history on the walls as well as TVs. Another visit to Nate's will be in my future!

The blackened preparation was truly special, with the right amount of spice and flavor. The vegetables could've been more creative, but the fresh broccoli, carrots, green beans, and pepper were appreciated. The sweet tea is real (not that Sweet Peak slop other restaurants have been slinging around). The hush puppies were among the best I've ever tasted. The interior could be improved upon, made more comfortable without losing the authenticity. However, I didn't deduct a star because it's exactly what you would expect.
