Yum, hometown vibes feel. Portions were large , no one was hungry when we left. None of our food was overcooked , all seafood was perfect . We had catfish nuggets , tuna nuggets & shrimp appetizer. Catfish & scallops with hush puppies , coleslaw & green beans Steamed shrimp & French fries ( kids meal ) Chicken nuggets & fries Cons - everything is by the bottle except for sweet/unsweetened tea Hush puppies had some extra ingredients ( couldn't pin point it ) not nasty just different Service was okay for a small restaurant we didn't get our drinks until our food arrived , they did get really busy all at once and she apologized. Crab cake was too salty Overall , I'd go again. My kids enjoyed it and asked to if we would come back already.

Came in on Thursday afternoon for lunch. Restaurant was full. We were seated fairly quickly. Service was prompt, each of us had sweet teas. Food came out in 20 minutes or less and it was amazing. Hush puppies the size of golf balls and moist in the center. Cornbread soft and sweet with out the cornmeal grittiness. Fish plank was thick and melt in your mouth flaky and tender. Scallops were thick and cooked to perfection, not too soft nor too hard. The shrimp were large maybe jumbo and cooked firm without too much breading. This was the only item that seemed slightly over cooked. The waitress was excellent, and we wanted for nothing, I highly recommend. Cheers!

What a treat to have this place in the small town of Hertford. All the locals I've interacted with so far have recommended this and they are not wrong. Some things to highlight: 1. Great Value- You get a ton of food for a reasonable price. 2. Delicious, Fresh Seafood and quality sides- The shrimp that came with my entree were so flavorful and plump. You could tell it was really fresh. Plus, many places overlook the sides but I thoroughly enjoyed the collard greens and corn bread- some of the BEST corn bread I've ever had. 3. Friendly service- every was pleasant and friendly. Total southern hospitality and laid back atmosphere that I was expecting. My only regret was not getting a dessert but maybe I'll have to go back before I leave :)
