Whiting with too much Season Salt and one hush puppy
Carmen A.

You ever wanted a good piece of fish and it goes horribly wrong? Well that's what happened to me. I went here on a recommendation from a dear friend/relative. We're still relatives, but I'm not taking seadood spot recommendations any more for the sake of our friendship. I read previous reviews from yeppers After I had my experience...in hindsight I should of read them first. Customer service was poor. Sanitization procedures were sketchy. Lots of signage...no adherence. I ordered the chicken and whiting lunch telephonically. But I received two chicken lunches. My relative cosigned that I had placed the order correctly, however I was told the order taker doesn't usually get it wrong soooo oh well and it would take about 20 minutes to prepare and oh...it costs more but I guess I won't charge you. Really? The chicken and fish seemed to have the same liberal dusting of Season Salt and were very greasy which was evident by looking at the small brown paper bag. Very disappointed. I'm willing to try again. However I will also specify no Season Salt. I want to taste the meat/fish.

Great fish Live 5 minutes from here and have not tried their fish before. Call ahead. You will not regret it because there is a considerable wait Credit cards are now accepted with no fee

The best fried chicken around. No real inside seating, this is order and carry out only but definitely worth the wait.

Fuego Fresco - The Perfect Margarita with salsa, chips and delicious guacamole

Fuego Fresco

(15 reviews)

Stayed one night in Perry, GA and went to YELP to find a good place to eat and came across Fuego…read moreFresco - which was a mere mile and a half away, and had really great reviews. We arrived and were seated right away - surprising because it was the busiest time on Saturday night - but the biggest (and funniest surprise) was when our server arrived: a 6'2" young, white guy named Brady. ** Here, you have to understand my oddball humor - I fully expected to have a Hispanic server - as one normally would expect in a Mexican restaurant - and then BAM - we had Brady. OK, unable to contain my amusement and confusion, I asked him how and why he was working there - and he said that his College Major was in Spanish and that when he applied for the job, he did the entire interview in Spanish!! And here he is - so obviously, he passed that test! Que bueno, Brady!! :) We ordered guacamole to go with the complimentary chips and salsa - and it was up with the best I've tasted. My house Margarita - on the rocks, with salt, was the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I ordered the 12 oz vs teh 32 oz (wish there was a size in-between!). Food: hubby ordered a Chimmichanga, that came with rice, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole and was HUGE! I ordered a la carte 2 birria soft tacos, that came with fresh, chopped cilantro/onions, lime, birria sauce and chile verde sauce. I "borrowed" some of hubby's lettuce, tomatoes, guac and sour cream and put a bit of the salsa on my birria taco and was in heaven! Ambiance suggestion: the lights are too bright! Get some dimmers and make the place a bit more cozy. Overall: If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. You NEED to go there when you're in the area! You will be delighted that you did.

Great food, great flavor, great portions, and affordable. They're doing everything right in my bookread more

Visiting family for the holidays and decided to have our annual couples dinner here. We will not be…read morereturning. We ordered two salmon entrees, one ribeye with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and the chicken entree. The chicken entree was the best and I would rate it 7/10. One salmon was dry and both were missing seasoning/finishing salt. The ribeye was missing finishing salt and the mashed potatoes needed butter. The lavender lemon drop was decent. Service was decent with nothing extra/over the top. In making the reservation, I didn't see a time limit but I know the standard is 2 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30pm and we finished with our dinners around 7:45pm. At 8:07pm as we wrapping up our conversation, the waitress comes to our table and says that they had a 7:30pm reservation and needed the table. 1. You couldn't have thought our reservation would be over in one hour. 2. There wasn't a party waiting to be seated on our way out. It made me question the true reasoning behind asking us to leave the table

The ambience is so sexy -- the lighted bar, tabletop candles, and dim lighting set the perfect mood. Fellas, bring your lady here and tell her to throw on that dress and heels -- this is the perfect date night spot. The Caesar salad and blackened salmon were amazing too. 10/10 all around! Michael was my bartender! The best in Perry GA!
