AVOID the breaded catfish dinner! Ambience, waiters were good. I was raised in FL, AL, TN lived in New Orleans. Ate catfish & caught a few all my life-remember catfish suppers, coleslaw, corn on the cob, hushpuppies topped off with homemade churned peach ice cream and everybody took turns turning it? Can't judge anything else on the menu. Coleslaw, tato salad & corn salad were all good-how can you mess those up? Had 2 large pcs of soggy, oily breaded catfish. After 3 bites of each piece I coulda cried. So tasteless-don't know whether it was in the freezer too long or had been frozen, thawed, frozen, thawed, frozen, thawed till all the consistency was gone-each bite was mush - they may as well have taken it out back & beat it with an old board. NO flavor at all. I am kickin myself for thinking that in the Pacific Northwest (with it's own fresh wonderful seafood) I could get a real southern fried catfish...who I am kidding...hahahah! My west coast husband will eat anything...I mean practically ANYthing (except lima beans)...he was "starving" & ate all his catfish & when I can't finish my plate will eat mine too! But this time no, he was not impressed & couldn't stomach any more. Also disappointed in the floury, doughy version of "hushpuppies" served. True hushpuppies have mostly cornmeal with a smattering of flour...these were the other way around...mostly flour with a smattering of cornmeal....more like some kinda donut thing. They should stay crunchy...by the time I got home in 20 min. I cut one open for a closer look and they were soft & doughy inside....like from some commercial pre-made fluffy sissy mix. If you are from the south I wouldn't take you here but if you are a "yankee" then I would excepting for the catfish dinner-myself, I'd rather be beat over the head with a dead cat.

This place deserves a good word as it is a real find. A limited menu but wonderful cajun & soul food that will bring you back. Sat. night it's live blues music...a place we take others for a fun and delightful evening.
