Yet I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming like a small town "hot spot" should be. The employees were all very hospitable and the food was awesome. I had the catfish with fries and a fantastic macaroni and cheese side. My wife had a country fried steak and both were excellent. Prices vary from $12-$25 depending on the entree. I can't wait to go back.

We had an extended wait because we were told they had to redo our Phillys because they burnt them. The loaded chicken sandwich had cooled by the time it got to the table due to the wait. The nachos lacked flavor and tasted like they were microwaved. The beef served on it tasted like it came from a can. The phillys lacked flavor. The fries and onion rings were "run of the mill" bagged sides. I'm glad we checked this place off our list, however, we do not recommend it.

We had some of the best fried green tomatoes we've had, and a good meal, so decided to give Hidden Waters a go. We arrived very early for dinner, and there was only one other couple in the dining room. Troy was working the floor, and he was very welcoming and helpful in answering our questions. We had the fried green tomatoes, and again, they were excellent. My wife ordered the Country Fare (pinto beans, fried potatoes, cole slaw and cornbread). Price, $7 ! I had the catfish dinner. The catfish was lightly dusted in cornmeal and very tasty. We both really liked the slaw. The potato salad was just meh. I tasted her pinto beans and they were excellent. We each had a beer ($3 !). We asked Troy why the prices were so reasonable, and he said they were still trying to win back customers post Covid. All in all, our service was very welcoming and professional, and the setting in the woods very inviting. If you're in the area and looking for a good homestyle meal at a great price, I recommend Hidden Waters.

The food has always been good. We have not been disappointed with the food. The price, though, was more than we expected. I believe my husband's jaw dropped when he got the receipt once. The interior is also kind of loud and crowded (people and televisions). I don't know, we just didn't vibe well here. Maybe we need to come back again. Maybe third time will be the charm. I think we are just too loyal to another, more affordable (and delicious) Mexican establishment in town.

My wife and I were pretty excited about a new experience and a fun lunch. The place was disappointing to say the least. The servers weren't really friendly or outgoing. The value was severely lacking- a reported 5 ounce burger (looked small) and literally about 10 crinkle cut fries, a 12 ounce drink served in styrofoam and a vanilla malt to go costs us about $50. I tried to say thank you to the server on my way out but she was busy having a loud conversation with another employee and didn't notice me. There is outdoor seating on picnic tables. The menu has a variety of sandwiches like cod fish and a fried bologna plate. But most of the menu was different burgers with cute names. The web said they served breakfast all day, there was no breakfast menu on the table and we didn't ask. All in all I'm glad I went to satisfy my curiosity but I would not seriously recommend this place to people visiting Frankfort. You would get a better deal and probably service at Hardee's.

There is shaded and sunny seating areas outside and table service once you have made up your mind. They brought out water for the pups which was nice. We shared a 3 meat platter for the very reasonable price of $18. The brisket was tasty but cut strangely. The pulled pork was good and a huge portion, and the baby backs were the best thing I tried. They had a sweet sticky sauce and came off the bone nicely. The rest of the sides were also good. Nothing spectacular but I have nothing negative to say. We came here after the summer boating season was over so the ice cream pickings were limited. Our server was Lexie and she was sweet. Another employee also tended to us a bit and he was very helpful.
