A bit better than the typical "Gulfcoast Seafood" fare. Prices are reasonable & comparable to similar fried & grilled seafood venues. Simple menu, simply cooked. You can tell the catfish, shrimp selections are fresh (and if not, it wasn't frozen for long b/c I couldn't tell). Place is also clean, simple; no sticky tables on our visits. Food cooked to order and cleanly, simply presented...its out quickly (unless a half-dozen customers suddenly show up at the same time...expect to wait 15-20 minutes, but they take phone - in orders for pickup). Combo meals are filling (but get the big combos if you have teenage boys!). We live 50 miles away but come here when we don't want to pay for "ambience"...just good no frills Gulf Coast seafood.

This was my second visit to this establishment, the service was very friendly and swift. We were greeted by the manger/owner, not sure which applied, as we sat and waited for our order. I found this to be refreshing and really made us feel welcome. Will definitely be back.
