How this place is in business is beyond me. Walked in and my 8yo daughter begged to leave saying how bad it smelled. We continued in, ignoring the dust and sat down at a booth. Our server was sweet, she was happy to help and attentive. After ordering my daughter had to use the bathroom, "OH MY HEAVENS, what is that smell?" She said. Yall the bathroom, it is SO bad, the sewage smell is unbearable. We had to leave without using the bathroom and didn't even wash our hands as we felt we would get dirtier somehow. My daughter said they should use an air fresher, I said honey I saw one, she said well then they need 10. I don't know that 10 would help, there is for sure something wrong with that plumbing, that was not normal. I was so grossed out I wasn't sure I could eat. Our food finally came out and it was all disposable plates. Really? Anyways, we paid, we were out and won't be back. Ring in Austin for over 20 years I always wanted to try this place but I highly recommend you do not.

It's been decades since I've set foot in this place. After you pull into the steep and potholed gravel parking lot, you can step back in time to a building filled with old relics which adds to the charm. I did read through several reviews before coming here, but nobody mentioned that they have absolutely no craft beer or wine, just the usual domestic offerings. Not even Shiner! We started with the sampler platter appetizer which was underwhelming and small. The hush puppies were clearly previously frozen out of a bag and of ver poor quality, skip those nasty nuggets. After 5 PM, you can get the baked potato, but I would definitely skip their salad out of the bag.For the main course, I got shrimp and fish and the wife got hers baked not fried. The beans and slaw were ....meh, fries were ok. I hate to say it, but there's a lot of yelpers slapping down five stars on what is just 2 to 3 star grub. Part of the ambience here is dining on styrofoam plates and cups with a roll of paper towels at the ready. The service was friendly and attentive. The catfish actually wasn't too bad and it was the highlight of the meal, which isn't saying much. For the money, this place is a pass for us. So if you're looking to sit down to some great quality seafood, I would suggest looking elsewhere. If you have little to no expectations and like the vibe, this place is for you. And if this place is for you, they do have some dining areas set aside for private parties, although you may wish to avoid using the bathrooms, especially the women's. When you finally pay the bill with a credit card, you will be charged an additional 3.25%. I used cash. Nine photos included to help you decide. 21/2-3*

If you are looking for fried comfort food, this is your place. The moment you step inside, you are greeted by relics from the past and good ol' southern hospitality. We went for dinner and it hit the spot for us. Hushpuppies, garden salad, chicken fried steak, baked potato and peach cobbler ala mode and the portion size is large enough that we shared all of this between two people. It's local and home style food. Give it a try!

It was better than last time Fish was clean Shrimp tasted great Beans were really good Fries tasty Salad well there was cheese on it for sure Beer was cold Dessert mmmm dessert 1/2 peach 1/2 blackberry with a scoop of ice cream Ok man o manIf you have never been here, you need to come try it out Lunch buffet is legendary

Kathy gave us outstanding service and the atmosphere is so charming!! My friend and I could have split the Small Catfish dinner due to the generous portions .and the fact we ordered the variety appetizer plate with fried greed tomatoes, hush puppies and fried okraWe had plenty to take home as well. The Peach Cobbler and vanilla ice cream was recommended by Kathy and was superb with a generous helping of vanilla ice cream. We will be back to try the buffet

We finally made it to Springhill! We have been driving past this establishment for 3 years, and we finally decided to give it a try. Upon walking in you are greeted with classic Americana nostalgia, fishing gear and old signs hanging from the rafters with bicycles and endless other knickknacks and trinkets! I really enjoy places like this so I was very excited! To say we came in with zero expectations would be an understatement. The reviews weren't encouraging and I am not typically drawn to fried greasy food. However, I was very pleasantly surprised with our experience! I ended up ordering the sweet tea (delicious) and the shrimp and catfish combo basket with coleslaw and fries. I was pleasantly surprised by the breading on both fish and was happy to find that they were not too oily! The coleslaw had a nice crisp, although I think it could've had more color, and the fries were good! Friendly staff and happy patrons, we will definitely be coming back here for comfort meals!

No hidden fees please!I have ordered take out from this restaurant a couple times. Both times I ordered a 3 piece catfish with fries. The wait was fairly average, about 20 mins. The fries were cold BOTH times. I thought it was a fluke the first time but when I received the order the second time, it was the same. They were skimpy with the tarter sauce. Given the size of the fillets one would assume you would ATLEAST get two sauces. Ultimately the food was decent however, what perturbed me was the "to go charge" that is not openly communicated. I noticed it in the difference in price when I checked out. The first time I did the math in my head and realized I couldn't have gotten to that amount unless the actual price of the dish was incorrect. NOPE, when I ordered the second time and received the check, I asked why there was a price difference. The young girl didn't know so I asked her if there is a charge for "to go" orders. She eventually said yes. I was diligent in looking all over the menu, at the "to go" order station, web site and anywhere else it could be posted but nothing. With the cost of things rising, not cool to not be upfront about there being additional charges, for water, to go, sauces, anything! Not sure I will return, and if so, definitely not for "to go"! I'm not good with hidden fees.

This place is disgusting. One saw cockroaches while eating, dirty floors, dirty kitchen, and so much more worse. I needed change and the poor server couldn't even find the manager, what manager leaves the restaurant!!

2nd time coming here, first time really good, second time I got a to go order 5 mins ago, the food , fish old, fries cold, couldbt return had to make it back to work, disapointed
