I ate lunch here with 5 other people around July 22, 2011. We were attending a family reunion and…read morewanted to eat some real southern food. A family member suggested we try Southern Seafood. From the outside, Southern Seafood looks like any regular neighborhood store, but once you're inside you'll know this is anything but a regular store. One side of the shop has fresh caught seafood which you can buy. I bought fresh shrimp. The front of the shop offers soda, beer, and food items. On the other side of the shop they serve the best soul food I've tasted outside of my mom's kitchen. I ordered, which was full of shrimp, crab, okra and it had a huge crab claw in it. The gumbo was tasty and well seasoned. I had two bowls. The catfish was fried a golden brown. The black-eyed peas were perfect and tender. The fried chicken was juicy and crunchy. Everything was perfect!!! I can't wait to go back.

The staff is super friendly. I loved how convenient this place is. The best thing that I got was a shrimp that was a five out of five, the catfish was four out of five, everything else was good. I highly recommend this place would come back.

I'm pretty sure they could improve on almost everything. We ordered the $45 poppa's platter. So…read morewhen you see you get three plates you are thinkin this is great! We did order I believe a good 35-40 minutes prior to closing. The girl was short on the phone but even shorter in person. I myself walk in apologizing our order was late. Instead of her being friendly saying oh no I'm sorry we close so early or something to that nature she said nothing but my total. She had it all bagged up and so I figure how hard is it to pack up the needed condiments, include silverware & napkins(after all they charge you a "cc conv fee" of $2.16 for that stuff I'm assuming. She was just so like she had more important things to do than assist me. Once being a server I rarely don't tip but she left me with such a cold customer care I followed my instincts & gave nothing. As I'm outside loading my food she comes out spraying the strongest over bearing smelling spray that I guess cleans their windows that it really stood out that she was spraying in my direction on purpose. Then to get to our camper to find no condiments at all (no ketchup, no tarter, no cocktail, NOTHING) We had no silverware, No crackers & hot sauce for our coleslaw, not even salt & pepper. Now look at these pics- after separating it out this is what we got for our $44 plus tax + conv fee. Surely this is a mistake. The shrimp taste alright, lil over cooked, the fries were half twice fried & under fried, the corn was spicy and shriveled, the whole potatoes are SPICY, we had more potatoes than anything else. Plus this famous biggest platter had no oysters! Fried shrimp, fried catfish, corn on the cob, handful of boiled shrimp, whole potatoes, French fries, and stuffed crab. Which leads me to why two kinds of potatoes on this plate? In all it was ok to eat but looking at does the quality match the price? Nope, seems like we got food trailer seafood for the prices of high rise restaurants. The girl working the counter does realize you can get tipped for to go orders? Maybe put it simply serving a table is easy- you have around an hour to get things right. A to go order you get maybe 10minutes- if you can't win em over in 10mins doing the basic maybe serving isn't your best choice. Simple things like what most of your tables ask for is what we needed. Being efficient & friendly is a must. The oyster poboy was dropped off for my father in law so not sure how it was. I'm just very disappointed in spending $68 and the total experience being so under average. I do believe yall could do a lot better. Maybe consider tellin pep you don't take to go orders like an hour before closing if this is the service & food you get. It's gona be a while before I try this place again if ever. I do not recommend.

Please don't be deceived by the pictures on the Yelp review page. The food we received looked…read morenothing like the pictures shown online. I visited this restaurant while I was in Hattiesburg for a conference. We chose it because we were looking for a seafood meal, especially since we were relatively close to the coast. Unfortunately, this is more of a fast-food-style seafood restaurant than a traditional sit-down seafood restaurant. The choices are essentially fried seafood or seafood served in a boil-in-a-bag style. This is definitely not an upscale restaurant--or even what I would consider a typical sit-down restaurant. There is a menu on the wall and another menu taped in front of the cash register. The setup is basically: come in, place your order, wait for your food, and either take it to go or sit at one of the tables while they bring it to you on a tray. While we were there, everyone else who came in ordered their food to go. The employees were very nice, but it was also noticeable that they seemed accustomed to dealing with unhappy customers. While we were waiting for our food, one customer became angry and started cursing at the employees. As for the food, it was a typical boiled seafood bag. The shrimp were served with the heads on, which is a matter of personal preference. I personally don't care for head-on shrimp. More importantly, the shells were extremely difficult to peel because they were stuck tightly to the shrimp. The gumbo also needed considerably more seasoning. Overall, the food wasn't necessarily bad, but it wasn't particularly appealing either. There was one other experience that ultimately made me decide not to continue eating my food. One of the employees was eating her own meal from a bowl while taking my order. When I asked for hot sauce, she put her food down, reached for the hot sauce, handed it to me, and then immediately picked her food back up and continued eating. Seeing food being handled in that manner while she was working completely turned me off. I understand that this is a casual, fast-food-style seafood restaurant, and I don't expect fine dining. However, cleanliness and food-handling practices are important regardless of the type of restaurant. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not return.

The lighting is a bit dim for our old eyes but otherwise it has the feel of a pub. We loved that. Our server was very nice and helpful. We ordered the bacon cheddar fries. The fries are like a cottage fries that are then cut into strips. Perfect fry on them. The bacon could have been crispier but great flavor and a good ranch. I had the KPauls pasta. We all enjoyed it. Pasta cooked perfectly al dente. If you love a saucy pasta this isn't for you. It is nice and creamy but not swimming in it. Big plump shrimp that tasted great. Also has chunks of chicken breast and sliced sausage. Uncle Jim got the red beans and rice. Great flavor but barely warm. The catfish is a thicker cut and battered in a coarsely ground corn meal. Aunt Robin had the shrimp and grits. Those were the star of the show. So creamy and incredible flavor. Very generous amount of nice sized shrimp. Mike had the Keg Stand burger. He requested the sauce on the side. It's definitely a unique flavor. Nice soft bun. The meat was grossly over cooked but would have been tasty had it not been so dry. The onion rings that came with the burger were soggy. Overall, enjoyed it. We know what to get next time. Shrimp and grits and KPauls pasta!!

My husband and I met a friend at Crescent City while passing through on a road trip, and while we…read morewere told it was good by some of the locals, we weren't expecting just HOW good! Our server, Cameron, was kind, patient, and attentive as we waited for our friend to arrive. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the menu, and offered great suggestions based on his personal favorites. We started with the crabmeat wontons, which I was expecting to favor traditional rangoons, but these were crispy gyozo dumplings, filled with a savory and smooth blend of crab and cream cheese, and served with sweet chili sauce. They didn't last long on the table :) Even my husband, who usually doesn't like seafood, dug in! Intrigued by the subtle twist on a classic, my husband chose the fried chicken and beignets. I was allowed a bite :) and it was hard to stop there! The flavor of both components was outstanding, and the crispy texture, perfect. I wasn't quite as hungry, so I asked if I could do a classic Caesar salad and add creole shrimp. When I say this was the best salad I've ever had, I'm not exaggerating! The flavor of the dressing was so simple yet rich, the croutons were light and tasted freshly-made, and the shrimp were deliciously savory, with a blackened flavor that exceeded my expectations. All in all, a great dining experience that we will share with others traveling through the area, and will repeat if we're ever back!

Service was really fast and polite. The ambiance with a TV is ok for the type of eatery that this seems designed to be. Yet, we were in a hurry and got it to go. *Update: The 2nd visit was extremely disappointing. It was still fast, but it was too fast. The shrimp was brown on the outside and not cooked well enough for me on the inside. It just seemed to be poor quality and smaller than expected for the price. I didn't finish eating it due to the taste, although it was a little more than $1 per shrimp! It was 12 shrimp only, that weren't actually large compared to what I get at other places, but we were charged around $14 total, including tax. I only give 3 stars instead of 2 because the blueberry lemonade is so good!
