Looks like a hole in the wall but seriously the best food in Etowah County! It’s our favorite restaurant by far! We eat here all the time. Best seafood and steaks I’ve had!

Delicious, got the Fisherman's Platter. The specials that day looked awesome too. My order came out hot and it came with hush puppies which were slightly sweet and crispy on the outside. I love those! The platter comes with onion rings, fish sticks, fried oysters, baby shrimp, shrimp, and a spicy stuffed crab. You get a side with it and I picked shrimp grits which you can see in the photo. The cocktail sauce came out cold and slightly frozen but no complaints. The fried food was piping hot so it made sense to me. I asked for another cocktail sauce because it was so good. Got lemon chess pie for dessert. Everything was delicious. Btw I think they only have Pepsi, not Coke. They also have sweet and unsweet iced tea. The entree was big enough for me to take home. Looking forward to eating the leftovers tomorrow. When we got there, there was ample parking and seating. But when we left, it was busy. So keep that in mind that it can get really busy. The waitstaff was super busy but nice.

They have one of the best ribeyes in the area. Tender, juicy, and delicious. Highly recommended!

For a Sunday lunch, we were greeted by the triple-decade owner, whose spouse was working the grill. She was apologetic that they were understaffed bc they can’t obtain enough reliable employees. So, the wait was longer than hoped-for but well worth it! Coleslaw and fresh hush puppies followed our drink order. The fresh catch was perfectly prepared, the shrimp grits side dish was the creamiest ever, and the chocolate chess pie was delish! A definitely terrific, locally-known place that deserves your dime, if you have a little time.

The food is fresh and seasoned well. I love their blackened steaks or scampi. Never had a bad experience. Very pleasant atmosphere.
