I am absolutely enamored with The Homeplace after just one visit.
You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you -- super easy and efficient. If you want the salad bar, it's chock full of options. Grab a plate or bowl, pile it high, add your dressing, then weigh it at the register to pay.
I ordered the fish and shrimp combo with green beans and sweet potato fries (around $13). This was hands down the best fried catfish I've ever had. The seasoning was incredible, and somehow none of the fried food was greasy -- not even my husband's fried okra (which was also the best I've ever tasted).
We ordered chicken nuggets for my kiddo ($7), and I'm pretty sure they make them in-house. They were shaped like dinosaurs but actually full of real chicken -- moist, flavorful, and honestly the best nuggets I've had anywhere.
The building is brand new, ultra clean, and decorated adorably. It's very kid-friendly, and the staff couldn't have been kinder. They keep a variety of sauces on each table (Louisiana hot sauce, A1, ketchup, tartar sauce, and more), which is such a nice touch.
I truly can't find a single fault and already can't wait to come back.
One tip: it fills up quickly at dinner -- but tables turn over fast, so don't let that scare you off! read more
