My son had the 3 option fried platter with large shrimp, popcorn shrimp and flounder. He ate it all! The establishment smelled a little weird......old perhaps. The table was sticky, like the finish was coming off due to the age. But the food was good. I would go back and just get the brisket and fried shrimp with fried okra and coleslaw. I had the taste for brisket and they delivered juicy flavorful brisket!!! The staff was friendly and helpful!"

Another customer had a similar experience, saying, "What a treat to be able to dine in for Lunch with my family. I got Cod which was grilled perfectly, the Coleslaw and Hushpuppies were yummy. On our way out we chatted with the Owner who cave us a sampling of the most delicious Brisket I’ve ever eaten which I will be coming back for. Everyone who works there are so nice. Just love this place!!!!"
