    So, the phone definitely didn't eat first this time. We enjoyed two Admirals feasts which included flounder, shrimp, scallops oysters and deviled crab (which I never eat) with no substitutions. Also came with hush puppies slaw and potato of your choice. I skipped breakfast to enjoy this late lunch early dinner and still had enough for another meal. We got most of it cooked salt and pepper style and it was really good. Glad to finally have a chance to visit here after a long while.

    I took my husband here tonight for his first visit ever! We normally frequent a seafood location in High Point, however, I was getting more disappointed with each visit and needed a change. I love the options here! Seafood comes in different ways, paired with different proteins, and a nice selection of sides. The decor is rustic, but so is the building and the business and it's very fitting! The service tonight was great, as usual! I tried the shrimp and grits this visit and I was blown away! Such a delicious combination of flavors! My husband got the small popcorn shrimp with fries. He was impressed with the amount of food! His only complaint was that they did not have crinkle fries, but he enjoys his meal nonetheless! A nice change to our usual Sunday seafood dinner!

    I always enjoy a fried broiled or boiled place! I also enjoyed coming here early before it gets crazy busy. The food was ok. Not bad but not amazing. The service was really good and the prices are a little bit higher than I expected.

    Service is always solid, for ambiance - think grandma food in the 70s. But what I was served last week, looked like snots in a bowl. I have never been so turned off by how something was served.

    Lunch special of Popcorn Shrimp and Flounder with a Baked Potato and their excellent slaw
    Fred B.

    It had been awhile since I'd visited this very good Southern style seafood restaurant, an institution in Kernersville since 1972. We both had a lunch special - Popcorn Shrimp and Flounder for $9.99, which comes with slaw, hush puppies, was and 1 side. This is a lot of food, and remains a nice value meal, especially in the current market place. And this is true even though the size of the special has shrunk - there was a single piece of fish where there used to be 3! The menu here is varied, with soups, salads, and country cooking choices - but this is first and foremost, a fried seafood stronghold - and they do it well. Ambiance - 4.5 Food - 4.5 Service - 4.5 Value - 4

    Another frozen food.....hush puppies taste like cardboard
    Terrence C.

    This was the worse catfish I've had in many years. If I would have known that it wasn't fresh but frozen I would have not wasted my money here. My ranch dressing was spilled all over in the inside of the bag, so no dressing for my salad. I have no idea what kind of frozen hush puppies they gave me, but they taste like paper. It's just HORRIBLE!!!!! I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants real fresh seafood.

    Sm fried catfish plate
    Amanda H.

    I'm a country girl and a sucker for catfish. Let's just say Captain Tom's does some great fried catfish and they don't skimp on portions. I usually order a small fried catfish plate. It has 2 large pieces of catfish and then you get to choose 2 sides and it's served with hush puppies. They are always busy but I've never had to wait long to be seated. I've never had a bad server. Last week I ordered my usual with a baked potato and upon unwrapping it I found the potato was bad. They did nothing to the potato it was just a bad one. I asked my server for a replacement and she was more than happy to fix the issue and I had a new potato within mins. It can get a little noisy but that's because everyone is conversing and enjoying their food. All in all a great place to grab a bite.

    Not much to put here. Seated at 8pm, still no waitstaff at 820...left for another restaurant. Attempted to share with the hostess but she was busy on her cell phone and didn't pay any attention.

    Elexis D.

    I used to be a regular patron at this great seafood restaurant. Great customer service and if you enjoy a good, fresh hot shrimp Po'Boy, get your order in today! First off the bread is fresh and soft, the shrimp is crispy and hot. It's delicious and the hush puppies are delicious!

    We stopped in to grab a late dinner. We were seated quickly. I would love to say more but the menu is the only thing I had. We sat for 15-20 minutes waiting for a waitress. Others around us were lead to their seats to and followed by a waitress. So I can only show the picture of the menu I received. We left after the crazy wait.......

I got to visit last weekend and experience their lunch menu. I've been hearing good things about this place but the menu looked simple so I was hesitant. Well it's easy to say I was very wrong about being iffy when it comes to what we were served. When we walked in we were greeted by a very friendly host who put us at a window seat which was really nice. I love having a view with my meal. The space is also very reminiscent of fine dining with the white table cloths, candles, and flowers on the table. It's also worth saying they have several lunch specials aside from what's on their regular lunch menu. Our server was also a very friendly gentleman who gave great recs when we asked. My friend got the French onion dumplings and she LOVED them. I got the brussel sprouts and with the accompaniment of the goat cheese and dried cranberries, they were probably the best I've ever had. I almost ate all of the huge bowl. I got the chicken sandwich for my meal that was dipped in a hot honey like sauce and it was also great. Very juicy and the ranch I got on the side was a great addition. I also got the truffle fries and they were super yummy. Overall an excellent experience and I'm so excited to come back and try their dinner menu. A must if you're in the Kernersville area!

    (3.25 stars) Casual dining may be declining nationally, but…read moreevidently Sixty Six Grill didn't get the memo. It's in that same TGI Friday's/Ruby Tuesday/Applebees tier, yet its full parking lot suggests brisk business. The location - it sits on a busy stretch of 66 - may explain some of that though Sixty Six isn't without other virtues. Spacious and well-staffed, Sixty Six isn't the kind of place where you'll have to wait long to find a table or receive food. It's dark and a bit noisy but not headache-inducingly loud. The menu is decently large, boasting everything from apps and wings to burgers and sandwiches to Tex Mex and pizza. There aren't any real surprises, but there's enough variety to accommodate most diets. For our lunchtime visit, my wife and I split a fried pickles app followed by a jalapeno burger (with sweet potato fries) and a Nashville chicken sandwich (with chips), respectively. Admittedly, the fried pickles didn't make for a very attractive-looking plate. Instead of golden brown pickle chips, there were thicker, lightly battered slices. However, they tasted just fine and paired well with a zesty dipping sauce. Speaking of zesty sauces, the chicken sandwich had it aplenty, and it made for a satisfyingly messy bite. The chips were homemade and rated above average. Unfortunately, Sixty Six overcooks its meats. Under all the sauce, the chicken itself was a bit dry. My wife ordered her burger medium well and received it well beyond well done. As with the chicken, it was still flavorful despite the doneness issues. On food alone, Sixty Six isn't a strong draw, but factor convenience and versatility into the mix, and it becomes a solid lunch option.

    This is some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I thought I just had bad luck the last time I…read moreordered so I gave them another try. That was a mistake. The egg rolls were mushy on the outside and the pork inside wasn't fresh... it hadn't expired... it just wasn't fresh. Maybe cooked this morning or even yesterday. The General Tso Chicken was made with low quality chicken. My wife actually spit it out it had so much chewy gristle. The sauce (which was supposed to be spicy had no bite. The broccoli wasn't lightly blanched... it was raw. The pork fried rice had no pork, didn't look fried, had a few undercooked frozen vegetables, and no egg. The pork lomein was the best single item... but I'd still give it a 2 out of 10. If the food was good I can forgive the esthetic of a mostly takeout restaurant... but given the horrible food the atmosphere was the icing on the cake. It's been years since Covid had us putting plastic barriers between us. Three unrelated items for sell. There is a candy vending machine (maybe to save people from purchasing dessert?). There is no culturally aligned Chinese music. And not surprisingly, there is no smell of food being cooked to order. I'm thankful for the pleasant weather because something tells me the HVAC wouldn't be on. Avoid this restaurant. I'll be driving to Greensboro next time I want some average Chinese food over this disgusting joke. I honestly have no idea how their Yelp average is 3 Stars. I'm recommending to Chef Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares!
