The appetizer section reads like a Top 10 list of deep fried favorites, including onion rings, mushrooms, jalapeno poppers, pickle chips, gator tail and chili cheese fries. Both came to the table freshly fried and crisp. The crab had a bread crumb, scallion, onion and crabmeat filling with so many spices mixed in that it overwhelmed the mild taste of the crab. It was served with a tasty sauce of ketchup, mayonnaise and horseradish.

Seafood entrees are available fried, grilled, blackened or baked and each comes with homemade coleslaw, hush puppies and a choice of baked potato, grits, french fries and a vegetable of the day.
