    Why have I waited so long to come to this place?! Shuckers…read moreis off the beaten path for me and I always forget to come here and give it a try. I am extremely glad I did today and can't wait to come back again. I understand it is an oyster house, but it is in Carrollton which is not near a large body of water. That being said, I was extraordinarily surprised at how fresh and delicious the raw oysters were and I feel the price is quite fair. Today I enjoyed the Tulane Avenue Shrimp as my entrée from the appetizers menu. The shrimp were tender and I loved all of the flavor. The little crusty pieces of bread that came with it were perfect for soaking up the sauce. It was a very large appetizer. I also had a cup of the gumbo that came with some garlic bread. The gumbo for me was just OK. I enjoyed it and liked the flavor, but it felt more like a savory stew to me than a gumbo. The service was good and friendly. I completely understand the aesthetic inside; however, the wooden benches are not very comfortable. That's just a minor preference for me. Overall this place is a hidden gem.

    This buffet isn't self serve, you wait in line and the staff loads up your plate with everything…read moreyou'd like (and there's a lot!) The food itself is pretty good, the chicken and fish are the best around. The hush puppies have a little kick to them, what a delicious little twist. Sweet tea also really good. Actually what isn't? Lol. The staff is always very friendly and helpful, and the prices are reasonable for all you can eat.

    I pass by this place several times a week on my way to and from WGTC. Their sign says "The Best…read moreFried Chicken in Town", so of course, I had to find out for myself. When I walked in, the dining room was packed and I swear, every single person stopped eating to stare at me like I was the entertainment. Super weird moment, but I wasn't about to let that stop me. The lady behind the counter was friendly and came over to help me pretty quick. Not gonna lie, most of the food looked like it had been sitting there all day, but the fried chicken looked fresh, so I took my chances. Two pieces and a hush puppy later (about $5), and honestly? Fire. The chicken was hot, crispy, and seasoned just right. The hush puppy was crunchy outside, soft inside. The food was good, but the vibe? Not so much. I felt like I crashed a family reunion I wasn't invited to. So yeah, I probably won't go back but I can admit, they weren't lying about that "best fried chicken" sign.
