| - Good Friday Meat-less Meal:
It's all about the hush puppies at the Hush Puppy for me. We've been eating at this establishment for years since my son loves him some AYCE catfish and fries and I'm all about the AYCE hush puppies. Yes, I know that they are not considered an entree, but I can eat A LOT of them with that delicious butter slathered on top (around?)--who cares if they're unhealthy and that we had a second basket brought to our table? Our attentive waitress did not! Eating here is like coming home--even the weird Polynesian/bamboo decor doesn't seem weird like it first did when we first started coming here. My son and I ate dinner there last night for Good Friday and there was no wait--unusual since we usually have had to in the past. The teenager had the AYCE fried catfish and fries, his standard. I had the Iron Skillet Louisiana Shrimp with Fried Green Tomatoes, which is two skewers of grilled shrimp with seasoning--it's okay and I usually have this when we go instead of ordering the fried shrimp--that would just be too much bad stuff in one sitting! The salad bar that comes with each meal includes cole slaw, which is probably the best thing at the salad bar--after all these years they still don't offer tomatoes or mushrooms for the salads? No matter--I still got some green vegetables in me to counter the hush puppies and butter. There are lots of other AYCE options on the menu, i.e., fish that I cannot eat due to my inconvenient fish allergy (but I can eat shellfish!), so I cannot speak to them. However, my son loves his catfish and still says that Hush Puppy has the best around. Our waitress was GREAT and non-judgmental, which helps when you want more, now!
