Jackie ParkerJuly 31, 2013For lunch, I opt for the sides. Fried okra, red beans and rice and a sweet tea for $7 - that's a great deal.

Kirsty NightingaleMarch 10, 2020Excellent snow crab & the boiled potato was great when dipped in the butter! I didn’t like the Cajun powder that was sprinkled on everything but husband did...matter of choice.Upvote1Downvote
In Memphis and in the mood for fish? Look no further than this joint! Food is top of the line and the experience is as well! Don’t forget to try the fried shrimp. 🎣UpvoteDownvote
Cherie BranchMarch 18, 2012The 2 piece catfish basket is great and fills you up, but leaves just enough room for the cobbler a la mode. Yummy!Upvote3Downvote

TamikaAugust 3, 2019The crab legs are great. The fried shrimp is good. The catfish was a little bland. Nothing a little hot sauce can’t fix. Lol. The margaritas are fantastic.UpvoteDownvote

Timothy WillisOctober 28, 2012Not a good choice. I ordered a shrimp/oyster poor boy. 1 shrimp 4 oysters on the entire sandwich. I will never make the mistake again. It cost $8.95 bummer.
