The shrimp tasted funny, the Alfredo was gloppy mush with no flavor. The fried food was okay but you can't really go far wrong with that. Pretty sure it's all ordered from some factory made food conglomerate and heated up. If you cook from scratch at home you will definitely be disappointed. If you're a hamburger helper cook then you might like it okay. For the price it's a ripoff. I wonder if all the good reviews are just friends of the owner The only positive thing I can say is our waitress was sweet and attentive.

Excellent food and service! We were there at 2pm. Our Awesome Blossom was overcooked but they…read moreprepared another, with apologies.

My husband said it was delicious. We order the sampler appetizer and it was very good, the cheese sticks were the best! Most of us had the ribeye and it was seasoned very well.

It was very crowded, tables are close and it is very homey and basic inside but we would definitely come back.

It's a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the drive. The interior is very unique and really fits the area it's located. Honestly, one of my favorite things. The service was great. However, or server was a bit busy and it did take a while to get our drinks (she forgot, but apologies and made it right). Food was phenomenal. You get a ton and well worth what you pay for it. I highly recommend coming here. It's worth the 20-30 min drive, you will not be disappointed!

Five of us ate there last night. The place is not new to us but it is under new ownership. It was…read moreour second visit since the change. They open at 3:00 on Saturday. We arrived about 15 minutes before they opened, since we didn't check their hours. There were several folks waiting to get in when we got there. Robert opened the door and told us to come wait inside! We each had the 3 pc filet plate with fries and 2 big delicious hush puppies and the salad bar. I always judge the hush puppies and these were A++. Some of us took advantage of the complimentary ice cream. The food was delicious, piping hot and they didn't scrimp on the portion sizes. I saw a review fussing about price increase, but prices have gone up everywhere. I would rather pay a little more and get good food, than get mediocre food at a cheaper price. My husband and I ate for less than $35, a very fair price for the quality and quantity. If you haven't been here, or if you haven't been lately, do yourself a favor and go have the best fish around.

Then today,…read moreI call the SAME EXACT order in, wait minutes in the drive though- Never got through it, so I went inside and waited another 8 minutes. Okay, FINE! FINALLY get to the counter and tell them I'm ready to pick the order up, guy takes his time getting to the back and then he finally makes it back to me to say "we can't make this. But can do popcorn shrimp. We've never done this"! 1st off, that's a d*mn lie, because yall done it last week. 2nd of all, if you don't have the intelligence or WANT TOO, to do it again, then why couldn't someone call me 45 effing minutes ago and let me know you didn't WANT TOO, before I waisted my ENTIRE lunch break on it? Why do you get peoples numbers if don't have the common decency to call and let them know that for WHATEVER REASON, you decided today is going to be the day to not do what is asked, thay HAS been done? Why is it so hard to throw shrimp on a grill? Please, make any of this make sense!!!! I'm done and woukd rather drive to Hochatown to get my food, before I let yall waisted my time again!!! A simple phone call would have helped the entire thing. Even though its absolutely ridiculous to not do something you've done and that would be easier than frying. Atleast I would of have time to call something in somewhere else OR simply find something else to eat there. I stayed away for a long time because of the ridiculousness of yall last time I was here. Thinking it may be different stay, I figured I'd give it a 2nd chance. But I was wrong! Thanks David Beards.
