Shrimp were delisioso! Catfish strips were acceptable (I liked them more than I expected to). Potato salad and slaw are homemade ... and quite yummy. Hush puppies were mighty fine! Ambiance: most tables were taken and apparently filled with locals with lots of catching up to do... and do... and do. Sure got quiet after everyone left (and I was not pressured to leave). Extra: there's a geocache in their parking lot! Who could ask for anything more Service bonus: waitress was especially kind and sweet and helpful and courteous.

Coming and going to and from the games can become pretty boring. We like to mix it up a bit and take highways instead of the interstate. We choose different ones to keep it interesting. One of our trips took us through Greensboro Alabama and we were hungry. I looked online at the restaurant options and found M&M Mustang Oil Restaurant was a meat and three type of restaurant with southern food. That's right up our Alabama hearts. We headed that way. Did ya know that Greensboro Alabama is the Alabama Catfish Capital? No?....... Yep! So guess what I just had to have! Good ole USofA raised Mud Cat! It was delicious! That was almost a year ago and we have been going back ever since. This was our third time to go. I have had the catfish plate and the Po-Boy. Helen gets either 3-4 of the sides or the catfish plate which comes with two sides plus hush puppies or cornbread. We also have had the Cheese Logs and the Fried Mushrooms. Everything is delicious! The Cheese Logs are by far the best cheese sticks we have ever had. Talk about molten cheese! Mary (server and cook) uses pepper jack to make the logs. They are slap your grandma good! Onion rings-terrific. The coleslaw is too. If I had to find something it would be that I like my purple hull peas cooked down, way down, like all day cooked down. These are good but just not how I eat them. One last thing. Every one of the tables has home preserved peppers on them. The juice goes great on the cornbread and the peas. Even the coleslaw is better with it. I dare ya to pull a pepper or two out and pop em in your mouth! Especially the tiny sport peppers. They will burn you twice, coming AND going, if ya know what I mean. Go on, don't fret about what it looks like inside or out. You are going to get some delicious food and you will thank me later. Do not forget the catfish. Unless it is an off day it will be the best you have plopped into your mouth!

I was told they are now under new management. The restaurant is located on the Tombigbee River so if you're lucky to have seat next to a window you can watch the river traffic or you can step out onto the "patio area". Service was great as usual. Menu options are limited- Catfish is the only fish option, there are crab claws, hamburger steak, chicken fingers to name a few. THE SLAW is still the same- it has always been a favorite. OVerall it's a nice place to go hang out if with a group.

They weren't crowded or busy (first hint on a Sat night) but our appetizers were small and salty. Around the table, entrees took a long time to arrive then were wrong, barely warm and just simply had very little taste. My HB steak was just a burger patty on a plate with some canned brown gravy dumped on top. No toast or anything. Was supposed to come with a baked potato but came with sweet potato fries. Even the slaw they've been famous for for years and years, was just not the same and wasn't good... We won't be back.

This place feels like your traditional mom and pop restaurant where you can get a home cooked meal. When I got there, I was greeted by kind host who took me to my seat. There is plenty of seating to dine in as well as an area to wait with seating for carry out orders. The waitress was waiting on me was also very kind. My food came out quickly, and I also ordered carryout which also came out quickly. I ordered the catfish platter with a baked potato and macaroni and cheese. The fish was crispy and well seasoned. The macaroni and cheese was really good and the baked potato, was your standard baked potato. All of my food came out hot and fresh. The price point here is also something that you cannot beat. I also ordered a half-and-half to wash it all down. The next time I am in Marion, I will definitely be back to this restaurant to try some of their other offerings as well as their desserts.

Hidden gem alert. If…read moreyou're headed in a direction that leads you past this restaurant then you need to stop and take in the small town, mom and pop goodness that they are serving up. Unpretentious, casual vibes, good food cooked to order and served in large portions for reasonable prices. Real down home stuff, as authentic as it gets. Order and pay at the counter and wait for your plate to be ready. Lots of easy parking. Plenty of seating. Super friendly people casting laid back vibes and delicious food. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger with fries. It couldn't have been better. Huge, steaming hot, and seasoned/cooked to perfection. There's no way I'm riding past this place again without getting another one of these burgers. (Although I might not get the double since it's literally huge.) Overall this is exactly the kind of place you think of when you're thinking of stumbling across a diamond in the rough in a small town. Just a good, clean, old school diner type spot that's putting a little heart and soul into your plate and serving it up with all the friendliness you could hope for. Impressive stuff.

The flavor is clean, fresh, and perfectly cooked every time. Even though it's take-out only, that's never been a problem. The food is made fresh to order, portions are HUGE, and prices are very fair. If you're in a hurry, I recommend calling ahead--many people do this so their order is ready right when they arrive. Some of my favorites include the crab cakes with Julie sauce (absolutely delicious), the fried green tomato po-boy with bacon added (a new favorite combo), and the jalapeño hush puppies, which are seriously addictive. The staff is always helpful with suggestions if you're unsure what to try, which makes it even easier to find new favorites. If you're craving catfish--or just excellent Southern food--Catfish Charlie's is a must-try in Northport.

The sandwhich came w lettuce, onions, pickles and tomatoes. No mayo. I ordered the 8" combo meal but they have a 6" size, if you counting your calories because your cholesterol will still be high with the amount of fried food!

We stopped in for lunch and were met with excellent customer service and an open, airy, and well-lit atmosphere. The menu isn't overcrowded, which I appreciated, and our waitress knew it well enough to confidently walk us through it. We started with the okra chaat, fish dip, and shrimp toast. The okra chaat was spicy, crunchy, and good, though I thought the okra was sliced too thin. The fish dip was flavorful perfection. The shrimp toast had great flavor, but deep-frying it felt unnecessary; it left the dish greasy and heavy, with far more bread than topping. For my entrée, the chef was kind enough to serve the red snapper over the field pea and rice salad. The snapper was very good, but that field pea and rice salad was something to text home about--literally. (I texted my husband after two bites.) Bright, nice acidity, great snap to the peas, and just perfect for the season. And the cocktails? Bartender's kiss. I took a sip and immediately told my friend to taste. I enjoyed this restaurant immensely. Thoughtful service, a beautiful space, memorable food, and enough standouts that already got me looking forward to coming back.
