    All You Can Eat Fish Friday Special
    Chris C.

    I always seek out breakfast places, but by the time I got around to breakfast today, it was almost 11 a.m. There was a line when I arrived, but I got my buzzer and waited (about 10 - 15 minutes) a reasonable amount of time for a table to open as the place was hopping. Another reviewer referred to the well oiled machine, and I concur. As soon as a table was vacated, someone was cleaning it and buzzing a guest to be seated while everyone seemed to be bringing out food and taking orders to keep things moving. I ordered a cup of coffee which was a great value at only $1, and enjoyed that while waiting for food. I thought about the eggs and ham steak, but the fish special was too good to resist. The amount of food on the plate was impressive which made the meal a great value. The beans needed salt, but that was an easy adjustment for me to make. And while sweet cornbread is not a personal favorite of mine, it went well with the beans and did fine on its own (almost like a cake texture). The slaw was so so, but the fish was amazing. One server kept bringing around fresh hot fish periodically to keep everyone's plate full. For me, this was an amazing meal in an environment that was run efficiently with very friendly staff. There were other breakfast options in the area, but I'm glad I went with Brenda's. I would definitely return on a future visit to the area.

    Get here early! We got the there at 9am on a Saturday and once we sat down the other open tables quickly filled and then a humongous line formed. The food was amazing. The service was friendly however don't arrive if you are in a hurry. They move at their own pace but once we finally got service the food came out quickly. Kind of a quirky small town spot. Good for local flavor and if you're looking for an old school breakfast greasy spoon kinda spot.

    Mushroom and Swiss burger with seasoned fries is a must excellent burger hot and fresh service was awesome too

    Delicious and cheap! Sometimes it can be really busy and no seating but that just shows how good it is.

    We had an amazing dinner here. I have alpha gal and they made sure everything i ordered would be…read moresafe for me, making modifications so my meal would be delicious and safe. Everything was tasty,hot, and delicious. Service was outstanding! It is worth the drive and the view us beautiful.

    I spent the day hyping up this restaurant, to my visiting relatives expecting the same great meal…read morewe had a year ago, only to be completely let down and have the rumors I refused to believe be confirmed. From the moment we arrived, our waitress seemed in no hurry and was forgetful to say the least. It took multiple requests just to get a kids' menu, and our drinks sat empty for nearly 30+minutes. She never cleared our table of bread, salad, or soup plates, so we ended up stacking them on the concrete wall beside us as we finished each course--simply because we couldn't stand the clutter anymore. About 10 minutes before the main course was served, she returned to tell me they had run out of filets and asked what I'd like instead. I switched to a ribeye. Our food finally arrived around 8:30, even though we were seated at 6:45--an hour and forty-five minutes later. During that time, I spoke with Leroy, the owner, more than I did with our waitress the entire evening. To top it off, she added an automatic 20% gratuity for our table of seven--four adults and three children. We're generous tippers, but jt was blatantly obvious she was coasting through the night knowing the tip was guaranteed. When the ribeye finally arrived, it was one of the toughest cuts I've ever been served--full of tendons and gristle, and certainly not worth the $40+ price tag. Honestly, I could have picked up a pack of two better ribeyes at Walmart for the price I paid for the one I didn't even eat tonight. When I mentioned my disappointment with the steak, she seemed unfazed. The only redeeming parts of the evening were the view, a cup of soup, and the vanilla crème brûlée. I made an effort to express my disappointment before leaving with zero effort on her part to engage in a solution. So I tried calling on the way home to speak with someone--no answer. So here we are..... our entire table left disappointed! It was especially embarrassing after I'd talked the place up so much--only to end the night with a $320 bill and a thoroughly underwhelming experience.
