Love the food! Service can be inconsistent depending on who is at the front, but the food is consistently good, so I'm settling on three stars. Let's jump right into this review.
I have had the following items from the menu:
1. Catfish platter - flavor on point and fried just right, got a crisp to it.
2. Red snapper platter - flavor on point and fried just right, got a crisp to it.
3. Shrimp platter - fried to perfection!
4. Shrimp Poboy - this Poboy is put together nicely, shrimp in every bite, bread is thick but soft enough to bite, the lettuce and tomatoe with or without mayo brings the flavor full circle.
5. Pastrami sandwich served w/mustard, no pickles - my go-to and favor item to tantalize my taste buds with.
6. Red Beans & Rice - I like the texture and flavor of the beans served over rice. I personally like the beans are solid and not smashed, but that's a personal preference of mine.
7. Fried salmon burger - quite delicious but a small portion.
8. Banana pudding - not a fan at all, I prefer a smooth texture and consistency, this banana pudding is neither.
Pros
1. Delicious food. I've been here countless times, and not once, I do mean, not once the food was subpar. Kudos for consistent freshness served each time.
2. Immaculately clean. Counter tops, bar stool seating, and outdoor seating are always clean.
3. Love the drink and pastry options. There are so many to choose from. I don't recommend the banana pudding. It's just not good.
4. Parking in the front, lot, side street, or across the street. That's a plus if you order to go or pick it up.
Cons
1. While the food is consistently fresh, served hot, and delicious, the service is served cold most times.
I'm not looking for all smiles and giggles, but the smug faces and attitudes are not acceptable. It's usual suspects, too. As a frequent customer, I've been met with more frowns than smiles.
2. This is not your neighborhood fish market, folks. You are going to pay for the freshness and hot served cat fish, fries, and coleslaw. Expect to spend just under $20 for a catfish platter. Due to customer service, I'm making a price a con. Good food + bad service = problem (for me)
I cut back on my visits. Hopefully, when I return, the service and quality of food will match. If you are in the neighborhood or from the neighborhood, give this spot a try. Sending those who stop in positive customer service vibes.
