"Overall, the restaurant has seen a decline since COVID hit. Before the pandemic, it was a balanced restaurant and carryout spot, but now it feels more like a carryout place with limited dining options. This change might explain why they didn't renew their liquor license, which means if you dine in, you won't have any beer to enjoy with your ribs—doesn't that feel a bit un-American? The atmosphere has shifted as well; it's no longer vibrant or inviting, making it less appealing to sit and enjoy a meal. While I was there for lunch with about a dozen others, the meat dishes were outstanding, receiving a solid 5/5. The people who had the fried fish, both whiting and catfish, found it perfectly cooked. Those who ordered ribs really enjoyed their meal and still had leftovers to take home. The pulled pork was equally satisfying. However, some sides were disappointing, scoring only a 3/5. I wouldn't recommend the mac and cheese, which was a messy, greasy disaster. The fried cabbage also missed the mark for me. On the other hand, the fried pork skins were excellent; they were complimentary for our group, and I would gladly pay over $5 for them again. If you plan to eat in, I recommend calling ahead to make a reservation or discuss your options, as the staff mentioned they don’t accept walk-ins. Our waiter did an excellent job, especially considering it was his first time, and the whole team worked well together to accommodate us."

"I had some trepidation at first because upon arrival, there were no other patrons in the restaurant. I asked if I could walk around the establishment and the hostess politely honored my request. After liking what I saw, I asked to be seated. What happened thereafter became a magical time of eating and reminiscing. The menu is vast. The restaurant has a southern seafood ambiance and theme to it. My servers name is Jonny. Should you ever visit the locale, as for him. I ordered a shrimp basket w/catfish(separate), onion rings and a side shrimp fried rice. After having ordered, I noticed the old school R&B playing throughout the restaurant. I was immediately catapulted to my collegiate years. The tunes being played, caused a rush of truly fond, memorable moments and people. The food arrived and I wasn’t disappointed. The seafood was well flavored. I could taste the shrimp and catfish: none were so drenched in seasoning that you couldn’t taste the actual seafood. Both the shrimp and catfish were well breaded and beautifully fried. My order of onion rings was delicious. I was hoping they’d not be over fried. They were cooked to perfection. The shrimp fried rice, which I feared I might not like, was good. It didn’t look like your conventional shrimp friend rice. The shrimp were fresh, the entire sauce we well flavored. I’d buy it again. Didn’t order ant speciality drinks, though they do offer them. For me, I had a cold glass of iced sweet tea. The beverage was good: had four glasses. The restaurant was clean. IT’s restroom was clean: I always check restaurant to give me a sense of the cleanliness. Tables were comfortable. This isn’t a fancy dig so don’t expect that. It’s a quaint place to eat southern style seafood. Would I return? Yes. Now I’m ready to dive into its menus to see just how good the food truly is. By the way, there is a great deal of patio seating(which should be a bonus during the warmer months)and the Sports Bar is rather spacious. My only reason for not giving them a 5 star is that I wasn’t as comfortable trying more of the menu."
