★★★★★ 5.0 Adam Galbreath · Jan 2026

We stopped through here on the way up to NY looking for some good seafood and this place blew our expectations out of the water! So dang good. Had some huge portions on the grits platters too, I got the grits and fried flounder. Definitely the best breading & seasoning I’ve ever had on fried fish, probably any fried food in general. Seems like a one man show in there, just one guy cooking and serving up all the food, hats off to him. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Zachary W · Dec 2025

First time here. I got the whiting and cheesy grits, and paid extra for “extra scoop of lump crab meat.” I got no lump crab meat at all, let alone at extra scoop. The grits had no crab meat mixed in at all. All you got was a very small spoonful (think a standard plastic spoon) on top. Their crab meat is very thin and heavily chopped. Instead of any extra crab meat that you pay the up charge for, they just give you another helping of grits with the same sad amount of meat. I threw most away. I’m giving two stars instead of one because the fish was okay, just very thin and a very small portion. Would taste much better if it were a thicker piece as being so thin makes it dry. What you see here cost me $20

Went for lunch. Waited 45 minutes one person working. Over paid. Waisted my lunch. Sandwich was small and taistless. To top it of was max 55 degrees inside. Waited cold and even after asking where food was it tool forever.

This place is ridiculous. $13.50 +tax for this sad looking 3pc Whiting. The amount is small. I could have went to grocery store and bought 2 bags of Whiting and fried them myself. So much for supporting "Our" businesses.

★★★★★ 5.0 Julia Randolph · Jan 2026

The food was delicious and I would definitely visit again. I purchased the whiting and shrimp grits, fried whiting and shrimp, crab soup. The price is well worth the value of the food. The food was flavorful and great temperature. Would request they fry my items a little harder to prevent soft crust. Staff was courteous and helpful. There was indoor seating but I decided to take out.
