They do seasoning right!…read more Which shouldn't be a surprise considering where we are. The vibe is cute. They have a few upper 2 top tables in the corner that let you see a good view of the restaurant. Our server, LeAnn, was super sweet, funny, & gave great recommendations. I had the Honey Suckle Lemonade and red fish with fries. Honestly the ONLY thing that could've been better were the fries. They weren't as hot as i like them, i did eat them all though... The red fish was seasoned very well, i did add some salt and lemon garlic butter but it was not lacking by any means. My love got the shrimp and grits, a hit he says. (It is one of the pricey restaurants in the area).

Chicken Cobb salad was the best, very fresh and the chicken was grilled well. Fish was a little dry, and the bbq shrimp was ok, not overly flavorful. Glad we finally made it in- decent spot

Eat here if you like eating soup with three toothpicks!…read more Our waitress (maybe she was busy or having a bad day so I always try to give them the benefit of doubt) was not personable, felt like I was being rushed & I had to go into the back kitchen to grab myself a spoon and napkins, food was mediocre as well, the 14$ burger was not it & just basic, you get more food at whataburger for half the price & they taste better. The actual building and decor is nice though so I guess it would fit a casual dining experience, but this place just wasn't for me especially for the price point they try to sell their food. The rest of the Menu just seems like basic flash fried food. Nothing really stands out or seems unique, I got the Shrimp & Poutine, alcohol is like 15 bucks for a drink too

This place was so interesting!…read more It's one of the more busy places we went on our trip. You order at the counter and there's a lot to choose from, we just came for catfish. The Catfish was good, crispy and they gave A LOT as well shared this one. The sides were not worth getting. We are from STL so we are used to onion , pickle and a slice of white bread - that would've made the meal a little better. I gave it 3 stars because I'm not sure about the rest of the options but the catfish is for sure worth going for and we will be back! The service was also fine, nothing great or terrible .

I had the (fried chicken) biscuit sandwich with a side of Gouda grits and a ginger juice. The biscuit was nice and fluffy. It came with a whipped spread - the flavor was amazing. I am not sure of the flavor, but it was maybe pecan and brown sugar. I liked it! The chicken was seasoned well without overpowering the rest of the biscuit. My friend had shrimp and grits. The flavor on that pretty good too. The ginger juice was okay. Could use a touch of honey or OJ maybe. But to be honest, I can appreciate that it doesn't have added sugar. Prices were reasonable. Great service. Overall, I'd return to try a few other things.
