The Hush Puppy

I've been here twice and the consistency in the service and food quality is comforting-- the iconic 'hush puppies' are more like corn fritters to me, but they are so delicious that I don't care what they're called, I want them in my mouth!! The corn flavor is almost sweet, the texture snappy with a good outer crunch and inner softness, plus they give you plenty of fresh butter to slather them with. Despite being blackened, I do feel the catfish could be seasoned better, because I could barely taste the flavors of the seasoning rub. In this picture I had french fries, but as a side dish I really recommend the Red Beans and Rice instead, the flavor is great on those and you can get fries anywhere. Loses 1 star because they only sell bottled water (no free water, which feels a bit stingy), but apart from that this is an excellent old-fashioned dining experience. The decor is nostalgic without being tacky, and I'm happy this place has re-opened after shutting down during COVID. The new owners seem to be doing the best they can with what they have. They even give you nice containers for your leftovers, because the portions are way too huge for 1 person to finish all at once. Yes, the price is high, but considering I got multiple meals out of each visit I think it's fair. Come hungry, leave happy!

The place is enormous, with various rooms and walk ways, the lay out is very weird and the decor gives you the feeling that it hasn't changed since 1986. The service was slow, to the point of being glacial, I don't think this is from lack of care but more from lack of staffing. The waitress was very nice though. No complimentary water, only bottled water for a charge is available... this is laughable and a true sign of a a struggling business. Food was very average, nothing was terrible, nothing was really good. Boring ambience which matches with the boring food.

So much better than the last time I ordered. Perfectly crispie delicious catfish. The fried green tomatoes are to die for. The hushpuppies were warm and melted in my mouth, the only thing missing was the honey butter which I forgot to ask for. I ordered for pick up but the service over the phone was easy. The resteraunt appeared empty at 3pm but the hoast was very nice. I miss the large alligator in the front but it gave the waiting area more space. New management well done from the last time I ordered about a year ago.

We stopped here by accident going down Charleston. Remembered eating there a few years ago and wanted to try again. When we saw the menu we were a little disappointed that there wasn't the old " all you could eat option" for certain food at a higher price. BUT- the food was amazing! Huge baked potato with all the trimmings that was a hit.Fresh salad- outstanding catfish and seafood platter. Super nice waitress! Will go back again soon! Outstanding restaurant!!

Y'all, this place is dynamite. The hush puppies were so pillowy and crispy and that butter was something else. I gotta figure how to replicate that. The collards were cooked perfectly, the bleu cheese dressing on the salad was so fresh and flavorful, and that jambalaya had a nice Cajun kick to it. I've had good food in the south and this was an awesome contender. Even my southern beau approved.

I usually don't like to give low ratings but besides the employees, this place was just alright. It's a cute place, but it kinda feels like when you drive through a small town in the middle of nowhere lol There was no diaper changing station so I had to figure it out haha we got a few items to try and honestly the catfish, iced tea, and hush puppies were great and everything else as just meh.Waiter seemed very sweet and apologetic for all the changes but honestly this was our first visit so it was a little unusual.. hope you guys enjoy it more than we did.

First time at this place Let''s start by saying they now open for lunch! Which is great The service was good, a young man named Youne from Morocco was very friendly and helpful. The food was good, had the catfish/shrimp combo also had cup of gumbo and red beans and rice . Just a touch of salt would make it really delicious Since the early opening is a new thing not many people know about it yet so it was pretty quiet in there on a Saturday at noon There was 5 tables occupied.All in all I had a good experience and a good time there Will come back

I've visited this location and the former location on Nellis (that was the better location in my opinion), but ownership has changed and you can definitely tell by the quality of the food. We ordered the catfish dinner and I had the catfish and shrimp creole dinner. The fried fish was bland at best. It lacked seasoning and flavor. My dish was ok but nothing to brag about. The portion size of my dish allowed me to have leftovers. It did come with a salad and hush puppies. Honestly, the hush puppies were the best part of the meal. The service was also kind of slow which was odd being that when we came there were only two tables seated and we were one of the two.

I'm not used to providing such low scoring reviews, but in this instance, I have to say that I was thoroughly disappointed. We were in Vegas for a family reunion, and the elders had all said this was the place to go as they had all been before. Whelp, clearly they hadn't been in a few years or something because NONE of the good things they were used to were delivered.- no, all you can eat catfish and shrimp!- the serving staff was ill prepared for a group this size total of 15 people- the food was coming out haphazardly...some were getting their salads while others were already on their entrée. - I've never seen a restaurant hand out room temp water bottles I now understand that there has been a change of ownership and I'm sure COVID didn't help, but, that said, call in someone to help reset the baseline and restore the confidence in the community that the ownership change wasn't a mistake. The decor needs updating as well as other areas of renovation. I really hope they make change to all of the issues that are glaringly obvious and get back to being a staple

Breaking my heart. No other words can describe it. I had been fighting the MEANEST Hush Puppy craving for about a week and finally gave in. Despite living in Southern Highlands, I just KNEW it was going to be worth the drive... I was so wrong. They appear to be under new management for the worst. No more AYCE catfish. No more salad bar. No more free lemons (like what? I have to pay for lemons with fish??? I didn't even know that was a thing!!!) Prices have gone up in a way that cannot be justified by inflation.
