    Hush puppies with white beans.

    First of all I love this restaurant! They always have the best catfish and hush puppies and beans I've ever had! So good the side salad and macaroni and cheese with fried potatoes and onions. The service is always amazing and they always smile. It's really nice and cozy in there. I love this place so much!! Glad it's only a 9 minute drive from my house

    Catfish sandwich with all the fixings and some seriously yummy okra!

    Super yummy!! Sat down and was brought a big basket of hush puppies and a bowl of beans! Hush puppies were SO YUMMY! Then got the grilled catfish sandwich and it certainly did not disappoint. Will definitely return! Quick and friendly service too!

    Nice environment and good service. The hushpuppies were tasty as was the fried catfish. Portions were good... no one left hungry.

    Catfish was the best I have ever had. Very fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back when I come through Paducah!

    Food was just normal stuff! The one that was in Calvert City was a whole lot better! Probably won't return!

    First and foremost for us, they are dog friendly on the patio! We were traveling with our dachshund…read moreand needed a place to eat where he would be welcome (too warm to leave him in the car) that also wasn't the typical "burger and fries" joint. We split the Harris Platter and 2 frog legs (added on). It was enough for us because we were looking to eat light, but those with more robust appetites may not be able to share. A side + hushpuppies were included so we got the Real Southern Potato Casserole. Hushpuppies were GREAT and I believe they were made in house. The shrimp, frog legs and catfish were seasoned and fried to perfection. Crab cakes were on the smaller side (after all, it is a sampler) but packed a LOT of flavor. The remoulade was a great accompaniment (and tasted like it was made in house as well). Clam strips were good overall, but we're not really 'clam' people so we're not sure what is good and what isn't. We did, however, end up eating everything on our plate so they definitely worked for us! They offer Pepsi products as well as beer and a full bar. We ordered a West Sixth IPA (brewed in Lexington), which paired nicely with our seafood. Everyone that worked there was so sweet and friendly, including our very attentive server (we don't remember her name but wish we would have so we could give her a shout out!). We would definitely return here if we're ever back in the area.

    I stopped in today for a late lunch while working in the area…read more I'm so glad I found this place. I walked in and went straight to the bar for a seat. It wasn't crowded at all. I was quickly waited on by the bartender/server. The staff were very friendly. I had a local craft beer, Paducah Beer Werks Irish Red, which paired well with the Made from Scratch Hush Puppies and Fried Crawfish Tails. The Homemade Remoulade for dipping was excellent. I would definitely come back and would recommend to anyone visiting the area. The nautical theme is throughout the restaurant and I noticed a few fish tanks as well.
