| - One word. CATFISH.
No, not the stupid reality show. The actual fish. You can get your catfish fix here. Wifey was craving fish so a search on Yelp turned up with this place as the first entry. First visit here I am impressed with several things.
For to go orders, you order at the counter. For dine in, you go sit down in the adjacent room and somebody comes out to take your order.
We ordered two entrees of catfish, one fried and one grilled so that we can taste both styles. Both come with 2 sides, in which we got yams, collard greens, mac n cheese, and fries. We also ordered fried oysters and 10 piece wings.
The catfish (3 piece $7.99). I like the fact that you have the choice of having it grilled or fried. Only thing is, I like it better fried here. Dont get me wrong. The grilled is ok. Its just that it seemed more oily than the fried. Like they deep fried it really quick, than threw some seasoning on it. There seemed to be way more oil on the bottom of my plate for the grilled fish. The fried? Stupendous. Just the right amount of cornmeal. Very crispy and flavorful. Now this folks, is what southern fried catfish is supposed to taste like.
The sides. For you sugar lovers, the yams would be right up your alley. It just might end up being dessert. I think they had it simmered in some kind of molasses infused water until soft. Then serve it to you with sprinkled brown sugar on top. The collard greens were decent. I would say almost equivalent to spinach. This dish was tad bit salty for me though. The mac n cheese good. It is sprinkled with a bit of black pepper so for you that have kids, they might not like it because of that. The fries are crinkle cut. Nothin special.
Fried oysters (6 piece $11.99). Im not into these things but my wife and oldest son said they were very good. I was almost tempted to pick one up and eat it because it was breaded perfectly just like the fish.
The wings (10 piece party pack $8.99). Make sure specify what wings you want. You can order whole chicken wings which are like half the chicken. Kind of like chickens on steroids. The wings I got were your basic hot wings. Only 3 flavors available which were mild, hot, and barbeque. I got hot which was a buffalo hot sauce style and barbeque. Btw, the wings are breaded so if you are not into that, then pass on it.
Service was above average. There were three guys behind the counter constantly staying busy so that was a good sign. One of them took our order and brought our food out to us. He also checked up on us every so often. The dining area is a decent sized one with enough tables and chairs for about 25 people.
Overall, I would recommend going to this place because the fried catfish is on point, the drinks are unlimited serve yourself (there is a fountain drink machine over in the corner with coke products), and the sides are as southern as you can get. Only gripes were that they didnt have fried okra, the grilled fish was more greasy than the fried, and that wait time was a bit long to get the food. In their defense though, they make everything from scratch so I can understand why it took so long. Just dont come here if you're pressed for time. I will definitley be back to try their pork chops, chicken tenders, and po boy sandwiches.
