    They have an air conditioned building off to the side of the driveway.

    This is southern-type seafood heaven for me!...perfectly fried and lightly breaded, whole catfish, shrimp, okra, crinkle-cut fries and light, fluffy hush puppies with a crispy exterior! They have good cole slaw and tarter sauce as well. Oh how I often wish I could teleport myself to Walden's in Covington, GA to have my food dreams manifested! I wish they could/would create franchise locations this good.

    Meaty goodness abounds.

    Catfish and staff are awesome. Out of the beaten path location is nice for Covington, but the hours of operation suck.

    Absolutely the worst catfish that I've ever had in my life! No flavor, no seasoning, no nothing. A waste of time, and money.

    Way over-priced for the amount of fried shrimp you get. I miss Grumpy's Seafood. You could get 3/4 lbs (~18) of fried shrimp for $14.00.

    The catfish was alright. They cut the catfish in half, that is one star. The bake beans had onions. Nasty.

    When I return--and it will be soon!--I am eager to try the fries, chicken wings, and whole catfish.

    I found Flako's Fish & Chicken (the name on the receipt--though the building says…read more"Fish-Chicken-N-More") while browsing Google Maps for a well-rated spot, and this place definitely stood out with its 4.5 stars and hundreds of reviews. After scrolling through the photos, I was sold and decided to check it out with my partner on May 1, 2026 around 6:00 PM. As soon as we walked in, the place was buzzing. There were a lot of people inside--some ordering, many waiting--which honestly felt like a really good sign. The atmosphere was lively, a bit crowded, and full of that "local favorite" energy. It's not a fancy or polished dine-in spot, but it felt authentic, busy, and promising. After looking over the menu, we ordered: - 6 piece plain wings with fries & celery $7.99 - 12 piece hot wings with fries & celery $12.49 - 12 piece wings (6 lemon pepper / 6 garlic parmesan) with fries & celery $12.49 Total came out to $34.95 after tax. When we got home and opened everything up, the wings looked incredible--crispy, well-coated, and fresh out the fryer with a really appetizing golden-brown color. You could immediately tell they were made to order. My partner had the lemon pepper and garlic parmesan combo and rated it a 4.5/5. The seasoning was bold, savory, and well-balanced--the lemon pepper had that zesty, slightly tangy kick, while the garlic parmesan was rich, aromatic, and cheesy without being overwhelming. I had the 12 piece hot wings and would rate them a 4/5. The heat level was definitely there--spicy, bold, and satisfying--but I do wish there was a bit more depth of flavor beyond just the spice. Still, they were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and overall really enjoyable. One thing that stood out in a good way was the wing size. Most of them were actually pretty big--definitely larger and meatier than what you'd get at places like American Deli or similar spots. A few smaller ones here and there, but overall solid portions. A couple small downsides: - Each box only came with 2 pieces of celery, which felt a bit skimpy. - The fries were just okay. I'm sure they're great fresh--crispy and golden--but by the time we got home, they already tasted a bit stale and limp, which was disappointing. I was honestly hoping they'd be better than American Deli's, but they didn't quite hit that mark. Overall, this spot lived up to most of the hype. Flavorful, generously portioned wings, a busy and energetic atmosphere, and solid value for the price. I'd definitely come back--next time I might eat there fresh or try different flavors to see what else stands out.

    My husband and I stopped by Fish, Chicken & More, and overall we really enjoyed it! He got the…read morefried fish and said it was delicious. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. I went with the fried chicken, and it was really seasoned and tasty. It is a bit on the dryer side, if it had been just a little moister, it would've been perfect. They add a powdered cheese or flavoring on top, which was such a cool and unique touch! Still, the flavor was great, and we would go back!
