We were craving some fried catfish and wanted to go somewhere that we haven't been so Shivers it is! Since they're only open 4 days a week, it is always packed so we recommend reserving a table. When we got there at 715pm, although it was very busy, we were quickly seated. As we sat down, our server Tess brought over greens, hush puppies, and coleslaw, this comes with every meal. We both ordered the AYCE (All you can eat) catfish mix. Greens were nicely seasoned, I love that the slaw was slightly sweet with sweet minced pickles in it, SO GOOD! I also like my hush puppies kinda sweet too, these were also very delicious and piping hot. The catfish mixed came out with one whole catfish and several strips which we much rather would prefer. Whole catfish once sits for a min can get soggy, so we like to only order one at a time, this was perfect! Fish was nicely seasoned, fried hard, flaky, and absolutely delish! I was doing my food dance haha. Everything was great! I loved the slaw and hush puppies so much that I ate my weight in that and was only able to do one plate of catfish, so I'll probably just get a catfish platter next time. Tess was amazing and very attentive! 5/5! Included a menu tor yall.

The prices were extremely reasonable, especially since every entrée comes with unlimited collard greens, hushpuppies, and coleslaw for the table. The hushpuppies were perfectly browned and crispy on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside. The collard greens were seasoned just right and were so good that we kept requesting more for the table. My son and I shared the fried seafood platter with catfish, shrimp, and oysters. It also came with a side, and I chose the baked potato. Everything was cooked perfectly. The catfish was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, the shrimp were large and flavorful, and the oysters were delicious. There was plenty of food for both of us, making it a great value. The combination of friendly service, delicious food, and affordable prices makes this a place we'll definitely return to next time we're in Crystal Springs.

The service was friendly and efficient, and my waitress recommended the seafood gumbo. I learned you can get it with rice or potato salad (apparently the potato salad option is a New Orleans thing), but I went with the rice. The gumbo was excellent -- rich, flavorful, and loaded with seafood. It had plenty of crab claws -- maybe around twenty -- which made it a little tricky with the bits of shell here and there, but still one of the better gumbos I've had in Mississippi. The French bread on the side was a perfect touch. The only downside? The restroom could use a little attention -- maybe a fresh coat of paint or some cleaning up would make a big difference. All in all, a great little spot with solid food and a welcoming vibe. I'd definitely stop in again next time I'm in Brookhaven.
