Excellent all the way around. The service was terrific, food was delicious and restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. We found out about this place from Vivian Howard’s “A Chef’s Life” and it has been on our list to visit since. We shared the mackerel, potatoes, collards and hush honeys. The collards were out of this world and the hush honeys were so good. Fish was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were very good. No complaints at all. The restaurant has a small parking lot and very clean restrooms. We can’t wait to go back.
Finally got to visit this place + easily made my top five eats in the triangle. I came here with a friend and decided to try the shrimp and oyster plate with a side of collard greens and hush puppies. We were instantly in love with the food cooked for us. The batter for both the shrimp and oysters were well seasoned and only highlighted the main ingredient. It was also garnished with herbs that made it taste even better. The collard greens were rich and flavorful from the way it was cooked in a good ole soul food style. The hush puppies were elevated with a honey glaze and was also a star of our meal. My friend and I were even impressed with the coleslaw that was refreshing from the rich and fried flavors. Usually coleslaw is a hit or miss for us, but this one had just the right vinegarette taste and then elevated with maybe parsley or a fresh herb, but simply amazing taste. The service is warm and friendly with food prepared quickly and called by number. The indoor seating area is cute with a southern sailor aesthetic and close seating areas that is great for a small group. Overall it is simply a fantastic joint that you can't miss + that I can't wait to go back to!
I heard so much about this place and finally made it there. I ordered a flounder plate, which came with a vinegar based coleslaw and home made fries. The seasoning on the fish was good but the fish itself was slightly over fried. The coleslaw has a sweetness to it (i didn'tneed that). There was a huge line to place your order in the middle of a Saturday afternoon (the line does move quickly) so clearly folks love the food.
Best damn collard greens I've ever had. Seriously, the food was good but what stood out were the collards. Perfect. Flounder plate was really tasty and the portion was fair for the price. Sliced potatoes could have been a little more crisp but not too soggy. Shrimp plate (fried) was ok. I'd probably go with grilled next time. Location is nice but small and a little cramped. I'll be coming back but taking out. Sauces were good and slaw is different but it grows on you. Good food overall.
Finally got a chance to visit and taste their wonderful seafood. Clean and very efficiently run. I had the Oyster (fried) platter and it was delicious and a very large order. I did not count but I would say at least a dozen wonderful and tender oysters. The slaw and homemade sauces were also very good. I recommend stopping by and dining in. Looking forward to another visit. Please remember to tip these fine folks. 🙂
