My husband and I are so happy we stopped and tried them! The fry is amazing and the best hush puppies I've had in years! It's obvious they use fresh oil and the flavors are on point! This will be a regular stop for us! Staff is genuinely friendly and attentive. Wish I could give more stars!

One of the few restaurants that have cocktail sauce. The talapia and shrimp was great. I like the layout of the dining room and the atmosphere is welcoming. I finished with a slice of chocolate- banana swirl cake. Delicious but could have been better if served at room temperature or slightly warmer.

Visited for the first time today. I'm not a fan of fried foods, so I ordered grilled. For some reason, that costs $1 more than fried. The grilled shrimp was decadent! It had excellent flavor without being spicy. The tilapia was fresh, flaky, and fantastic. Again, with the incredible flavor. The only reason I did not give a 5-star review was due to the menu. There are a lot of options on the combo menu, but the option to create your own is missing. I ordered the 2 tilapia filets with 3 shrimp, and added a crab cake because I heard they were phenomenal (they are). However, it was an extra $4 for the crabcake and I couldn't eat all the tilapia. A single filet would have sufficed. The red beans and rice were rather tart; the green beans were good, but nothing exceptional (some onions and bacon would have really enhanced the flavor). I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. $$$

This was my first time here as I'm visiting my mom for the day here in Norman. This place did NOT disappoint. The fish was absolutely amazing... well seasoned & fried to perfection. The mushrooms were too die for & the service was great. Definitely recommend! I'll be back.

Place has a unique look and style. Clean, well kept and good lighting. Looks like they have a stage for live music towards the Main Street seating area. Waitress was very nice, helpful, and prompt. The food was mostly good. I got green beans and coleslaw and both were very good. The salad was fresh and tasty with salad dressing. Got grilled fish and it was a bit salty and had extra ground pepper. Grilled onions and bell peppers were excellent. While eating the background music was on the heavy metal side. Overall my experience was good.

The food was really good and the Sams Sauce is excellent on fried catfish. We'll be back to try more menu items. The couple that sat next to us got the gyros and said they were really good as well..

The food was so fantastic! I have never had tilapia so delicious and juicy. The catfish was outstanding and the red beans and rice were shockingly delicious. Huge shrimp and drinks were a plus, and the sauces were really complementary to the food. The service was really great, we had a super nice server who took the effort to make our lunch dining experience wonderful. For amazing seafood in Oklahoma this place is a must! It also has a really cool atmosphere and I loved the aesthetic!
