Fish was good,very nice people very respectful and nice and not a long wait a little spicy on the vegetables but ok
OMG!!! I cannot tell you the difference between fresh cooked fish and store-bought or fast food restaurant fish! This restaurant cooked the best catfish, I have ever tasted!!! And I am a foodie. I eat out all the time! The owner, Charlie provides fabulous conversation while your food is being freshly prepared. And he manages to have the perfect seasoning combination to literally make your mouth explode with the flavor because it perfectly enhances the fresh fish flavor! This fish is better than my own home cooked fried catfish! They even season their fries as well as their broccoli, which again is utterly amazing! Run don't walk to this location I promise you won't be disappointed, and I promise you to say that this is the best fish you have ever tasted!!! Let me add one more point about the ambience. never before have I been in a fresh fish store and felt so warmly invited into a business! Charlie invites you with a big smile and great conversation and I must confess I was disappointed that my meal was prepared so quickly because I was really enjoying our conversation!... Lol
Honestly I love this place! They're kind & they never miss not matter when I go! I always get the catfish poboy which is always a great size serving for a great price & I don't eat a lot so it definitely money well spent. When you have the time please visit figure 1 as an example, I know y'all peep that filet on the side (chef's kiss). Also I got a shrimp poboy for my sister for the first time, I wish I got a picture of it before she started to dive in but know it looked just as good & she said it has hefty. They got my vote. Buyer's Tip: if you like more remoulade sauce, they do put it under the protein, just ask for some on the side. Thank me later.
I've only been here once but the food and service were A1. The woman taking orders was so sweet. The items I wanted all come as separate meals but she worked with me so I didn't have to buy three meals for the three things I wanted. I was told my good would be ready in 15-20 minutes and 15 minutes later it was ready. The woman Saran wrapped my box to keep juices from spilling out. I don't know why some other places don't automatically do that! Wish I'd taken a picture, but I had lobster tail, crab legs, and jumbo shrimp that were actually jumbo. It was all great.
This place is in my neighborhood; literally down the street from where I live. I could walk here on a nice day. It shares the side lot of a gas station and is across from a Walgreens. The lot is busy, but there aren't a lot of people hanging around outside like some gas stations. This restaurant is fairly busy. Lots of people in and out. I ordered the catfish with broccoli. I enjoyed my meal and the price was good. I paid less than $10 for my meal. The portions were big and everything was well-seasoned. I'd definitely stop in here again if I were in the mood for inexpensive seafood. There isn't a lot of parking, but people are in and out so fast that you don't wait for a spot to park. If you're in the Lithonia area and in the mood for a quick bite, this place should do.
