    Side Salad
    Michael C.

    My sister and I came to this restaurant because I had the taste for some fish. When we got here I was pleasantly surprised by all the menu options. I got the whiting and wings plater with side salad and okra. I must admit the wings were pretty good. The whiting was decent. My sister got the catfish and it was good. The atmosphere was that of country old south diner. Nothing fancy at all. I read the other reviews about experiencing racism at this place. I must admit the young lady was very nice and pleasant. She was patient as well and took the time to explain the platters and made recommendations. It was not the best food I have ever had however for the price and portion size it was not the worst either.

    Hotdogs are out of this world and the onion rings have never missed. I try something new every time - today will be the egg rolls

    Truly a local gem and worth trying. The food is always delicious. The service is warm and you're made to feel welcome and not just a number. Even during the busiest time the atmosphere is that of relaxing and just enjoy.

    I was denied service. I am a disabled veteran with a service dog. As soon as I entered the restaurant, the owner began hollering at me from the kitchen that I was not allowed in because I had a dog. When I tried to show him the documentation, he refused to look at it and said he was no longer taking any more orders today. It was 4 in the afternoon. He also stated that my yellow lab with a service vest on did not look like a service dog. I would not recommend to eat here because the owner does not support veterans or any one else who requires assistance. It was embarrassing to be berated in front of all the other customers and employees.

    You just can't judge this location by the way that it looks on the outside. On the inside, you will be surprised to see a menu that is filled with a large variety of all types of delicious foods. The owner of this wonderful place is very devoted and dedicated to making sure everyone is happy with their food selections. He is also a very hard worker. The seafood here is fresh, seasoned, and just delicious. You get a nice-sized portion in all of your food choices. I like the French fried, hot and well seasoned. The dining area has booths that are very spacious and comfortable. The prices are reasonable. If you enjoy fresh, hot seafood then you must check out TJ in Creedmoor, NC. You will not be disappointed.

    I don't know why I keep giving these little hole in the wall places a chance, it's almost always a letdown. This place is no exception. First the price is they have on the front of the building are only valid until 4:00 p.m. not a huge deal but still annoying. Second their bathroom is 100 degrees and it had looked like somebody threw up in it and didn't flush. Oh and the hot water didn't work at all, which seems like a health code violation? The ice machine smelled terribly of mold. And the place is just odd, there is this huge room that's probably as big if not bigger than the actual dining room, that's just completely empty. The food itself was okay, I ordered the fried catfish. Was your standard fried catfish and fries that you can get just about anywhere. If they would clean the place up it would definitely be worth going back to, but I don't think I would ever step foot in this place again.

    Kid's Catfish with Fries and Drink
    Shenna W.

    In the market for some old fashion southern cooking? You know that "hole" in the wall joint that serves fried whatever - hot and ready? Welp, if you stumble upon this find - that's what you in for! This restaurant was recommended to me by a local. When I heard they had the best Fried Catfish around, well I had to go and see what all the fuss was about. I did a quick google search - their website provides a PDF menu for you to download and order from. I did a call in order for: - Kid's Catfish Meal with Fries and Drink - Daily Special: Homemade Cheeseburger with Fries and Drink - Side Order of: Eggs Rolls - Side Order of: Okra Note, ask for condiments! If not, you will get nothing. So, keep that in mind (if you need tarter sauce or ketchup). After making my order, it took me about 10 mins to get to the location for pick up. There is a sign on the door that only 6 people can be in the building at a time. To my surprise, there was only a cashier and the cook (that I would later learn is also the owner). The customers had on masks, they offered liquid hand sanitation for guest. But the cashier nor the cook had on a mask. I leave that to be a pro or con for you. Everyone was pleasant. Note, if you pay with a card there is a service charge they don't tell you about. It's small, but still it's one of those things that should be announced before swiping someone's card. The overall building looked like any older diner. Nothing special, it appeared clean and smelled of cooked food. Now for the food review - this was the best Catfish I have had in YEARS. The Catfish was fresh, meaty, and fried perfectly. The seasoning was on point and didn't need anything additional. Tartar sauce is an added bonus or hot sauce - as the fish can stand on its own! The fried okra, MAN extra crunch, again fresh and seasoned perfectly. Normally, I like to have ketchup with mine - nope not with these. The egg rolls, were good. They aren't something I would write home about - but for something different on a fish and chicken menu - they were good. The Cheeseburger - look if you want homemade and tasty - welp here you are! The meat was tender and seasoning great. The burger was about the size of my hand, so yeah you will be full with just the single patty. The automatic toppings are cheese, mayo, tomatoes, and lettuce. If that's not your speed - let them know when ordering. We were very satisfied with this place - great recommendation!

    Portions more than you can eat and they use cornmeal on the fish, it's not a heavy coating just very light & delicate..

    I stopped by Doherty's for their St. Patrick's Day event, which has become a tradition because…read morehonestly what else are you going to do on St patty's day. They blocked off part of the parking lot, had live music going, and the whole place had that fun, lively energy you want on a holiday like this. Because of the crowd, the menu was trimmed down to the more popular items, but it still had plenty of good options. I ended up getting their Irish eggrolls, they're hand‑rolled and stuffed with house‑cured corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese, then sliced and served with their Thousand Island dressing. Basically, it's all the flavors of a Reuben wrapped up in a crispy shell, simple, rich, and exactly the kind of thing that works well at an event like this because its quick and its finger food you can eat while watching the band,. Overall, the atmosphere was great, parking is such a hassle though during these events on the weekend because H-Mart nearby is already so packed. You can park on the other side of the building if you don't mind a brief walk though.

I was greeted, then seated. I was provided a menu and specials...Prime Rib! After my hectic day, yes I will have that! I mentioned gluten free to my server before making decision. Plus seeing the loaded potato had me a bit worried as I cannot ear pork. I opted for salad once server checked to see if Caesar salad dressing is gf sans croutons. I requested salad with dressing on the side and to bring promptly before my dinner. Salad arrived by and server dressed and it was glistening.... I requested one with dressing on the side...server brought maybe I had two bites and dinner arrived! Salad can wait...prime rib cannot, even though I start with tasting potato. Prime rib was requested mid rare and it delivered. Potato was fine. I did not see the au jus nor horseradish sauce on the side. I did ask server while I was ready to pack it up and he said there was some confusion if there was/was not no gluten so not provided. Noteworthy as the salad a manager stopped by about the dressing and mentioned one type of salad dressing is now gf and one vegan. Good to have options. Disappointed to learn the fries are coated with flour then fried as an option with burger skip the bun...what about baked chips or air fry for those with food sensitivities as an alternative? Just a thought for management to consider please. I saved room for dessert and the mousse did not disappoint and was compted .... thank you! Fantastic! As I looked around there was a steady crowd entering along with regular patrons. Overall 4.5 stars for this visit. On a side note, this is a family friendly restauran/pub. Some servers look disheveled between sloppy hair and untidy uniform. For staff with long hair should be pulled back tight and away from food will prevent hair on the food! Uniform is simple black top and pants....should be clean and neat. A few servers looked like they rolled out of bed...if they are feeling ill, please stay home. Servers should make diners and patrons have a positive and pleasant experience and my server was definitely on point with emphasis on customer service and satisfaction....keep it up! Lastly, females please wear a bra or sports bra or a proper garment under uniform as it is family friendly restaurant, thank you!

    We tried Pat Murnane's last night and we were all pleasantly surprised. It was a Saturday night…read morearound 6:45 PM and we expected the place to be packed, but it wasn't. The bar area (with plenty of tables for dining) was packed and looked cozy, but the main dining area is huge and had only a few tables in use. We questioned our restaurant choice, but decided to keep an open mind and give it a try. We are so glad we did! The food was really good. Nice presentation and clearly, whoever prepared it is truly passionate about their job. The portions are large, so expect leftovers. We ordered a fried shrimp appetizer (similar to bang bang shrimp) and a chicken quesadilla as starters. Each could have been a meal on its own and both were delicious. (It's typical bar food - but done well.) For our main dishes we ordered Shepherds Pie (server's recommendation and favorite menu item ), Northern Fish Fry (cod); and a simple cheeseburger with bacon.. everything was tasty, nicely prepared, and again...large portions. The Shepherds Pie came with fresh steamed veggies that were wonderful and a nice surprise. *Note that cod is the Northern Fish Fry- but they also offer a catfish version. The wine was 50% off both by the glass and bottle, I believe that is their typical Saturday drink special. They have a prime rib special on Saturdays as well that is supposedly delicious, and served only until they run out. There is an 8oz or 12oz option. The server was fantastic as well. She was very attentive, knew the menu, and clearly enjoys her job. What more can you ask for? Prices: Our total bill (before tip) was $127 which included a couple drinks from the bar for each of us. The dinners we ate ranged from $16-$20. The starters were a bit pricey (~$18 for the quesadillas) but again, it was meal size and truly delicious. If you are hungry for a burger or typical Irish bar food, then give this place a try. Hopefully you'll have an experience similar to ours! (Our server was home from college for the holidays, so hopefully the rest of the staff is equally attentive.)

I walked and saw all of the food trucks before ultimately choosing to get food from here. I noticed that their prices were fairly reasonable compared to other food trucks. They were out of the choices that I would typically get such as the wings and jambalaya. I ended up getting the Shrimp Etouffee (Sautéed vegetables cooked into a gravy with Cajun seasoning and Crawfish tail meat served over a bed of white rice) and Cajun boudin balls (Pork marinated in Cajun seasoning and vegetables that is slow-cooked, shredded, mixed with rice, balled up, breaded, and deep fried) with "Who Dat" sauce.I ordered at 8pm and the total was $14.57. I was told it would be ready in 5ish minutes as they were cooking it. I left to order my kid some food at another food truck and came back. It was around 8:10pm and it was ready. The canjun boudin balls were tasty. I wasn't a fan of the "Who dat" sauce. To me, it seemed mustard based and I dislike mustard. My shrimp etouffee came wrapped in a bowl. It was warm in temperature. It was good. The initial appearance threw me off because it looked like soup. However, underneath was nice. Both the canjun boudin balls and the shrimp etouffee had a little heat to them. It wasn't too bad though. I'm don't typically eat spicy foods, so i have a higher sensitivity. I messed up because I forgot to get anything to drink. While I wished my etouffee was a little warmer as the boudin balls were hot/the perfect temperature, it was a good experience overall. The staff was friendly and I enjoyed the food, except the sauce lol.
