Not sure how anyone can give this place four or five stars. The fried dishes and BBQ are mostly horrible, and I've had nearly everything on the menu at different times. The meat is always overcooked, and the fried dishes always taste like they've been fried in the same oil they were using when they opened the place. The only reason I've given this place three stars is to recognize the efforts of the hard-working serving staff who consistently do an outstanding job and for the restaurant's relaxed ambiance. Some people here report customer service problems, but I've never experienced that.
The only dishes I would recommend are 1) the gumbo, 2) any of the seafood bags with the trifecta, and 3) that's about it since they stopped serving oysters. I'm waiting for the IPA (aka, turpentine) craze to die down so I can finally recommend the local beer list. They served me a Four Peaks Oatmeal Stout once, probably a limited holiday batch, that was awesome, but the rest of the list is not particularly impressive given the number of good beers brewed locally, and weighted heavily on the IPA side.
