Enjoyed our dinner here this evening! We had the fried chicken sandwich (with house made chips) and the grilled redfish with a side of roasted potatoes. Both were delicious. Service was impeccable.

Food is great! I love their Greek Shrimp Salad! I haven’t found it any other place! We got dinner; husband got shrimp basket and the fries were amazing!

Went here for the first time and it was really good! We got the pimiento cheese fritters and they were pretty good. I got the catfish that is stuffed with crawfish and it tasted great. I also tried some of the salmon and it was cooked perfectly and was seasoned really good. The sides I tried weren’t awesome though. I got the green beans and I like green beans that are cooked all of the way through and they were crunchy.

My family and I visited to celebrate my Aunt's birthday. The food, the waiter and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great! We sat on the front porch of the restaurant as we awaited our party to be seated inside the restaurant. The view of the lake is breathtaking and so relaxing! I will definitely be back to visit! I ordered the stuffed catfish and it was delicious! I also ordered the fudge brownie to-go and I highly recommend both!

My wife and I found this place in that was a little of the normal path and enjoyed all of it. My wife had the Mediterranean Salad with Shrimp which she said was amazing. I had the House Smoked Salmon Appetizer as a meal which was delicious. Our drinks were excellent, the menu was great, and the service was excellent. When traveling through again we will stop and enjoy again.
