I you love fried catfish and delicious hot hush puppies made in-house you must try this restaurant. Fantastic! The service is great. Very attentive. The owner is super friendly. The price point is very reasonable. Treat yourself.

On 6/6/2025 K Andersen had this to say:
Oh my. I’ve been craving nice fried clams since Opryland served them waaaay back in the day. And theirs didn’t disappoint! Mom and I went for a rushed lunch today; the waitress gave great advice for the items to avoid as they took longer to cook. Between us we had the clams (delicious!), fried okra ( generous and great!), fries (the hottest I’ve been served yay!), green beans and turnip greens, both seasoned to perfection. Plus the complimentary hush puppies rocked as did the pickled green tomatoes. The portions were generous, the service excellent, the restaurant spotless, and the prices right. In addition it was very easy to roll the big wheelchair inside. Didn’t see the restrooms, sorry.

I was out of town for work and had a taste for catfish and okra. I googled and this place popped up. I ate there twice during my four day work trip. I will be back on my next work trip. 😊 Testimonial written by Jay on this site.

We had a large group, and our waiter was kind, friendly and very upbeat. Some of the people in my group recognized him from previous visits. It was a wonderful experience.
