How have I not reviewed this place yet? All I can say is YUM! My favorite is the shrimp poboys. Price for a foot long with fries and a coke is very reasonable, and if you add a donut for dessert, it's a guaranteed nap effect. I eat here every chance I get.

The fish plate I usually order is always hot and fixed like I like it. Once or twice a year buy donuts for Golf tournment and they are always well received by the Golfers for the variety. It is a great place to eat and carry out.

Mane The shrimp fried rice Chicken tenders .... The chicken tenders I can’t even describe the feeling I got when I first bite into them...with the sauce... It’s not fair to only get one sauce I was done dipping by the second tender ... And the rice... I can’t understand how everywhere I go everyone have there own style in cooking shrimp fried rice... No grease Smooth And ,amazing... Now the donuts didn’t even make it out the door... When I first tried it...I knew at that moment this was going to be the best spot ever... And I can tell in there voice Humble Sweet And great personality... “But the saddest thing I have heart was “am sorry but we don’t open on holidays” ...but how can this place be in such a great location for truckers and you’ll haven’t made it an year round location..” /\/\____/\\\\___(but Wendy’s and etc...was open) I don’t know who all might read and comment but can we try to get enough support and love to get them to be open throughout the seasons Please support the local business more(us truck drivers don’t have homes to go to....this will be a great place for us to eat at...

Last night was my first time eating from here, I had a large shrimp fried rice with a side of fried fish and a side of shrimp the rice I've never had any like that before but let me tell you it's the best fried rice with veggies I've ever had! The shrimp were cooked to perfection so soft and not with all that breading either. I will be back even though the fish was kinda pricey for 3 strips your rice won me over!!

The food is very good, especially the Shrimp Fried Rice! The meals are served fresh and the employees are always pleasant, but be prepared to wait...THIS IS NOT A FAST FOOD SPOT

Have been going there for years and food is always freshly made and delicious. Actually can’t eat all of the FF’s because they give you so many. Apple fritters are out of this world. More people should know about them because it’s hard to know from the donut sign what other great food that they have. I even went during the flood when they had no power, expecting the food to be soggy but was crisp and great. Please go and help a local small business.

They are so friendly. My mom taught their children. They get excited when they see her and she does too. Then they give us some free delicious donuts. I can't wait to go back
