Came for the Friday Fish Fry based on reviews, and it did not disappoint. The fish was excellent. Baked potato done perfectly. Cole slaw was good and rye bread acceptable. My wife had the shrimp dinner, and it was very good as well. Got there at 5:00 and had a short wait. Not much seating, but tables turnover fast. Hostess and waitress very friendly and pleasant. Something unique that I have not seen elsewhere...the waitresses make the Old Fashioneds! Not the best I've had, but they were good. Definitely recommend.

The chicken and ribs special was delicious. The meat fell off the rib bones and was tender and seasoned well. Chicken was crispy and not dried out.

Our party of 6 ate there on 1/20/24. Everyone was VERY friendly and the food and drinks were great. Most of us got the chicken special, which was delicious and an excellent value. We'll be back!

Wonderful food, Great service, The tables and chairs are cleaned with disinfectant. I was amazed at the value of the steak sandwich. Fish fry is the best in the area. The prices are reasonable. They have a nice selection of beverages including tap beer. Clean bathrooms, Plenty of parking. I have been here a few times and always have been favorably impressed.
