    Hush puppies

    Cool restaurant in an old building. I went for the fried catfish filet - the portion was large but for me they were fried a little long. I know some people like them crisp. I really enjoyed the sweet tasting hush puppies that was brought went I sat. Unfortunately the service was slow - can't that just spoil a meal sometimes?

    Food was cold and hush puppies were burnt. Not like the Cat Fish House back in the day.

    Ocilla isn't exactly on the waterfront -- it's closer to Birmingham than the Atlantic Ocean -- but…read morethis little establishment in central Georgia nevertheless serves up some mighty fine, fresh seafood. We stopped by accident: we were hungry and lost, and this restaurant had a a lot of cars parked out front. We were cheered when we walked inside and overheard one patron tell another, "I've never had a bad meal here." So this Yelp review is based on only one lunch. We'll hope to re-visit and offer more detail. But for now, consider this: the grilled (you can also get it fried) tilapia was flaky and moist, not over-cooked, and perfectly and simply seasoned with mostly lemon juice and pepper. The fries and slaw were tasty complements. Add sweet tea and the cost was a mere $7.95. The fried oysters were delicious, lightly battered. They know how to serve hushpuppies, too. The oysters were $8.95. Prices go up a bit for dinner, but most items are under $15. There are lots of seafood choices and side dishes, too. The service was cheerful, the atmosphere "local" and very casual. Seafood and Ocilla. Never thought we'd put those two words together. We came away very impressed. So now, get out your maps and find Ocilla.

    Ordered to-go for the family. Food arrived as ordered but serving sizes were inconsistent with same…read moredishes and fried seafood already lost crunch. Two captains seafood platters (one with grilled shrimp and one with fried shrimp) with baked sweet potato and cheese grits. One plate had a decent size sweet potato, the other was half the size. The side of grits was a tiny 4oz cup? Few tiny scallops and small fried bone in fish. One fried shrimp meal felt like more food than our two captain seafood platters.
