| - Ate there last night and it can best be summed up with.. OMG, that's GOOD!
Hubby got the spicy catfish and loved their homemade hot sauce on it, said the two went together well. His sides were the cole slaw (yummy) and the baked beans (meh). I got the regular catfish and my two sides were the greens (nom) and the fried okra (nom!). We each ordered the two piece dinner and we each got 3 pieces.. even after I commented, when ordering, that I could only eat one piece so hubby should order one less than he wants 'cause he was getting my extra one. So.. I ate 1 piece, hubby ate 4, one too many. Breading was nicely spiced on each, the catfish was fantastic.
Hubby was curious about their appetizers so I told him to go ahead and order 1.. he ordered two, and there were huge quantities of both. The mac & cheese balls (fried) and the sweet corn balls (fried). Let me say this, with the fried catfish and fried okra, I was thinking that more fried foods would put me into a coma... but they were both fantastic! Breading on both was very minimal, and they were incredibly good. The sweet corn balls had extra honey in them, they should be classified as a dessert.
Only drawbacks.. baked beans were boring, not much flavor difference from a can of pork & beans from the grocery shelf. Then there was their tartar sauce.. it was homemade and very good, but you get a very tiny quantity of it served with the order, making a request for more tartar sauce obligatory.
When we were leaving, after bemoaning the fact that they're such a long drive from our house, we got informed that they're opening up another location this summer near our house.. I'd have hugged the guy for that info if I wasn't already slipping into my fried-food coma. Look for them opening sometime this summer at the NW corner of Craig & Decatur! :D
