@eater

"Right off the river on North Anchor Way, this colorful spot serves heaping baskets of fried shrimp and chicken, rich and garlicky mac and cheese, thick chopped cheeses, and piles of seafood boil enriched with beef hot links. The dessert menu includes classics like peach cobbler, banana pudding, and — if you’re lucky — sweet potato pie." - Ron Scott, Nathan Williams
