Most Disliked
Some guests mention that the inside dining can get a bit uncomfortable due to limited air conditioning and dim lighting. While the atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, others feel it could use some improvements in decor. A few diners have noted that there might be a wait during peak lunch hours given the restaurant's popularity. The limited visibility in seating can be a drawback as well, with some wishing for brighter lighting to enhance the dining experience. However, most agree that the quality of food far outweighs these minor inconveniences.

The food was amazing, and it was definitely worth the 20 min drive from Northeast Columbia. I ordered the red snapper and it was definitely a big piece of fish. I loved their scallops and they were the big size and not the small size scallops that a lot of seafood restaurants give. The owner and his assistant were very nice and friendly. I will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

The Fried Seafood here is Really, really good! It is great as a takeout place. Sit in dining is a bit uncomfortable with limited AC and not many lights on... but the food specials is great and the prices are extremely reasonable for those on a budget and curmudgeons like me.
