The food is served buffet-style and the offerings are Southern home cooking. The star of the show is the fried catfish, which on my recent visit felt like it melted in my mouth. Chicken, country ham tilapia, and Brunswick stew are among other offerings. There are also desserts. My only complaint on our recent visit was that the Brunswick stew was only lukewarm. On the night we visited, there was a bluegrass band for entertainment, but ambiance is sparse. This is a place that you come to eat, not to stare at the walls. Service is friendly, but being a buffet place, there isn't a lot of interaction aside from drinks and refills.

It's a buffet, of mostly fried food, seafood. They had some really great green beans, fried okra, fried shrimp, fried fish, Brunswick stew, and biscuits. There were some other things to try, including a couple of cobblers for dessert. there were some nice young ladies, cleaning off the tables and being active in the dining room, which was nice. They were watching to make sure our drinks were filled. The food was hot and good. I'm not sure if they redid the decorations inside, but they have some old Timey things on the walls, kinda like a country place! You do have to wait in line and go through the buffet, but everybody was courteous. It's definitely worth the money.

We assumed it was a regular seafood boil restaurant but there's more to it. The menu included Vietnamese dishes. I'm a sucker for both so I ordered a cluster of crab legs in the Cajun butter sauce and a bowl of phó. The pho was fantastic! It was piping hot with plenty of meat on top. The broth was rich in color and taste. The noodles were just perfect, but to overcooked and mushy. The crab was drenched in the garlic butter sauce. It has the right amount of kick to it! The crab was cleaned and cooked perfectly. The meat just came out of the shell with ease. I really would have liked my potatoes to have been cooked more throughly, they were still hard in the middle. Overall it was a great meal to have during my visit in this great state of Georgia.

Is an understatement!! Both meals were delicious, hot, and fresh. The shrimp were the biggest I've ever seen and I was certainly full when we left. The grouper in the fish and chips meal was outstanding as well. It is refreshing to get freshly battered food. The staff was amazing and provided outstanding service. The owner came and sat with us for a few minutes to chat. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal with a view, oh and some nice live acoustic music. 5 stars from me!

Offered honest suggestions. We never waited for drinks. This was our first time and we will be back.

It has been some months since we have been here and not sure if they changed owners, managers or had a new cook that day with their own idea how breaded fish should be cooked. It was disappointing. The breading was bland and all of it just fell off the fish. The fried shrimp was extremely greasy where I had to lay them out on a napkin to get the excess oil off. Tarter sauce tasted 'off'. The server was GREAT! She was the only reason I am giving a 4 star rating. I am sad about the food experience as we loved this place.

Friendly professional service, our server was very nice and helpful. She went out of her way to make sure we had a nice dining experience. Great food options, with a lowcountry inspiration. The menu is lowcountry focused and the food is executed beautifully. We started with a dozen of the local oysters, they were fresh, sweet and delicious, a solid start. After giving the menu a good perusal, my dinner companion went for the evenings special. The evening special was, shrimp and crab ravioli. This is a generous portion of nicely prepared ravioli's filled with a sweet succulent crab and then whole shrimp in a rich cream sauce. Presented simple and clean, she said it was delicious, and my sampling of it was just that. Pan seared red fish over etufee was my choice, again a very good meal. A nice serving of perfectly cooked Red fish mixed over a generous portion of etufee. Spicy, succulent, full flavored. It was a really solid selection and very good. A couple sides to go with our entrees, the mashed potato and brocolli, both were done well, simple and tasted good as you would expect. The biscuits, oh those biscuits. The biscuits were a great addition. All in all a solid dining experience and well worth the effort, good lowcountry food done well.
