"Good prices for what you get, where do you find deals like this these days? If you’re traveling and parked at the truck stop across the street, take that walk across the street, it’s well worth it. Definitely hitting em again when I’m back up this way ."

"I used to eat here back about 15 years ago when I first started driving. But I stop coming here about 4 years ago because the food started going down hill (taste wise). And the price went up. Well I decided to try it again today for dinner. when I stop driving. I have to admit it was pretty good. But I won't come here very often because they are expensive for the portions you get. I order a perch fish and shrimp combo. It set me back almost 13.00. Pricey for the portion."

"Delicious food and great selection for fried or baked fish. Check this place out when you get a chance totally worth it just don’t expect great customer service from the girl behind the window taking your order she’s pushy and impatient for new customers trying to navigate the menu other than that it’s a great place if you love southern style cooking."

"You don't go for the atmosphere. You go for the food. Look at all the seasoning on the wings. Never dry or overcooked. I really reccomend the chicken gizzards. They are not rubbery or you feel like you have a human rawhide. The fish is good, but it does have bones in it. Not excessive though. It also has a pilot next door for our trucker friends. Short walk, but secure your load. Just saying..."
