“Fried catfish was excellent. The fried shrimp looked flattened. (Like from a pre-frozen box?) French fries were limp, soft and barely warm. Not crispy at all. Coleslaw was ok. Tasted and looked like there was mustard in it. It had a yellowish tint. Not used to that in coleslaw but, may be the way they make it in this area.“

It is rare for all of our family to finish everything on our plates, but not at this place. Southern hospitality is real, and it starts right here at the Red Oak Fillin Station. Try the brisket grilled cheese. It will knock your socks off.“
