This has Captain Ds and Long John Silvers beat hands down‼ One of the best meals I've had out in a while I majorly completely wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and I am from West Virginia

hidden seafood gem in town absolutely blew me away of how much food i got everything tasted fresh and homemade high quality definitely will be going back my new favorite spot

I had the best ribeye steak seasoned to perfection. You know a steak is good when it need's no steak sauce. Kudos to the cook!!! The waitress was excellent!!! I will definitely be back.

You are greeted with smiling faces and friendly people from the moment you walk in. The menu is rather cheap for the quality of food you receive. The whole catfish is usually my go to, or the jumbo shrimp. Being born in Maryland I am very picky about my crab cakes but decided to give them a go since everything else here has always been great. The crab cakes were large, very crispy on the outside and moist and full of crab flavor on the inside. The jumbo shrimp were great as always and the catfish fillets nicely battered, and seasoned perfectly with salt and pepper. If your in thr area don't hesitate to stop in and enjoy some great food and beautiful smiles!

Well the truth is I was visiting my mother while she was under care,,she recommended the place ,,that I honestly didn't know existed,,so I went to place a order to go,,the staff and the host of the counter,,were extremely nice and educated me a little of the restaurant it's self,,I ordered 2 combination plates with baby flounder, fried oysters, and popcorn shrimp,,I was told 15 minutes,,I had it in ten,,it was all cooked perfectly and tasted excellent and all was hot,,potato wedges for a side they were good as well,,when I visit my mother again I will definitely be going back,,,I recommend everyone give it a try,,,that's all

Large baby flounder with potatoe wedges and fried okra. The hostess/cashier who took my order over the phone was kind and patient. The food was well prepared and fresh. I prefer a little more seasoning, nothing to complain about.(I'm just picky.) Will return.

I love seafood, so I had to try this place. Sheri took good care of me. I had a half plate of Alaskan and flounder. Both were fantastic and there was SO MUCH food! I left with a full meal for tomorrow. Sheri, I'll be back.
