We reserved a table for 20 which cost $150 added to our bill (total table I'm guessing was over…read more$1500 probably more ‍ since just my portion of 6 people was $525 before tip) to reserve the table in a room so I would've expected that the fee would've included more than 1 waiter. The waiter gets a 5 star review from us because I felt so bad for her to have to do EVERYTHING alone for 20 people and she was kind & tried her very best to do a good job but it's humanly impossible for 1 person to serve 20 people ordering appetizers, cocktails AND meals. Just the task of bringing waters to the table took her 4 trips so imagine all the cocktails & refill requests!! We were there 2 HOURS before eating! Thank goodness the food was good and the company was even better so we enjoyed our evening but shame on Tunks manager/owners for not preparing better for a busy Friday night that included a wedding party reservation for 20 that they knew about way ahead of time so could've prepared accordingly. The place needs to be renovated really bad! I appreciated the nostalgia of stepping back into time when life was simpler but the overall feeling is a bit dirty and the bottom deck had soft spots, the concrete walkway out to the lawn had sunken areas so be careful and the cats were begging while the carpenter bees were feasting! The scenery is beautiful at sunset and was a perfect spot to take pictures. The cocktails were good but had very little alcohol so we switched to beer. The beer prices are CHEAP! $4 for a Stella appetizers were huge and the prices were good, only $15 for 3 huge full plates so can feed a lot of hungry people while waiting on what seemed like forever to order. I'd go back if in the area since the food was good but since I'm out of town most likely wouldn't drive just to come for dinner. I highly suggest if paying for the private room and arriving with a lot of people to make sure you request 2-3 servers so you're not there for 4 hours!

I came with my dad and husband on a Saturday right when they opened at 4:30 and we were promptly seated (the oyster bar downstairs looked like it was already pretty busy!) We were seated by the window in the dining room when you first walk in so I had a beauty beautiful view of the lake, swamp trees and birds, and sunset while I ate! We were greeted by a sweet blonde curly waitress (I don't think she said her name) and quickly served our drinks of choice. I chose sweet tea because I was in the deep south and they make it the best! For our appetizer we shared the Shrimp en Brochette with waffle fries. Overall the stuffed shrimp were very good and fresh, although I may ask them to cook the bacon a little harder next time. THE SAUCES were the star of the show, so much so that I dipped the waffle fries in all of them. No clue what they were, but my best guess is a Parmesan cream sauce, melted butter sauce with a hint of lemon, and some sort of brown sugar or caramel sauce with black pepper. The brown sauce and the Parmesan cream sauce were my absolute favorite and I could not get enough of them! I even got my dad hooked to dipping the waffle fries in the brown sauce! I had the Snapper Ponchartrain for my entrée with garlic mashed potatoes, and a side salad with homemade thousand island dressing. Both sides were very good. The salad was fresh and served in a chilled bowl, the mashed potatoes were perfectly whipped in garlicky buttery goodness, and the bread was reminiscent of a beignet without the powder sugar! Again, the homemade sauces for the salad and the fish were the stars of the show! The fish was delicious and fresh however, I feel like it could not compete with my taste of the Snapper Sandy that my dad got! I am definitely ordering that cheesy goodness next time I am there! For dessert, I had the bread pudding to go! The only thing I would do differently is ask for the sauce on the side, but the bread pudding was delicious and nice and saucy by the time I had it at home! Again, another sauce star! Overall, I was very pleased with my experience and still obsessing over the sauces! Great to see this restaurant still doing well after all this time!

You order your food at the counter and they call your name when it's ready. We were greeted with a huge smile as soon as we walked in (Southern hospitality) You don't get the shit in Ohio most of the time! The food.....let's put it this way, when the 2 moms (we had the grandsons) say it's hard to get the boys to eat and all 3 boys got a cheeseburger and fries and all 3 ate every last bite but a few fries and one of them (7 yr old) says "I want to stop eating but I can't" and they gave it a million The food was fabulous!! I say this about some places but this place was top notch- out of this world-I don't even know how to describe it- I ordered hush puppies, she gave them to us and said "I'll give them to you because yall are Yankees" (She had asked about the boys and told her we were babysitting and from Ohio) The BEST freaking hush puppies I've ever had!!! I also had a fried green tomato BLT- who would have thought??? He had a Shrimp PoBoy and loved it!

I got the wings with fries, you have the option to get them tossed or sauce on the side. When I tell you I had a lake of buffalo sauce in my Togo plate, I had a lake!

It's got that old diner look and vibe in it but I never got to sit down and eat. It was $35 if I remember correctly (I may not be) for wings and a burger. I absolutely recommend this spot for sure.

First off, the actual name of this place is Carl's catfish hut. At least that's what they go by on…read moreGoogle. The original Carl's catfish hut was a great place to eat. This is not. I got a seafood platter and paid $25 +tax. The stuffed crab and hush puppies were badly burnt, but cold on the inside. How? The fish and fries were soggy and had no crispyness to them. The shrimp, like the fish, tasted like the oil it was fried in was very old. The oysters had half the batter fall off before they made it to the plate and, again, was cold on the inside. Oysters have to be fried just right to be good. These were edible. Honestly, I feel like I've been robbed. I see why when I got there, there wasn't a single person eating there. Not one person. They have all of these great reviews, but the food's horrible and no one eats there. I'm guessing they have their friends and families leave positive reviews. That's the only thing that makes sense. Luckily, they'll be out of business soon. Hopefully, they'll leave the Carl's catfish hut name alone before they completely destroy it's memory...
