One complaint: each table features a card advertising happy hour. Although we were there during happy hour, drinks are not available at the happy hour price.

I love this place too much to make a fuss, but I felt like my loyalty had been betrayed.

If you are in the Lakeland area and you are hungry then this should be your first choice. We had "Sean" as our server and he was beyond outstanding. He was very attentive and very friendly and he took time to inform us about the specials, most popular items and was able to make suggestions based on our wants. We started with a dozen grilled oysters, half cajun butter and half garlic butter. They were very delicious. They were tasty, fresh and a nice size. My wife went with the grilled wild caught salmon which was described as the wagyu of the sea. And she said it was the best salmon she has ever had. I went with the pick two combo which included catfish, shrimp and cod. And I know that's three but instead of two pieces of catfish, I got one and two piece pieces of cod. My sides were hush puppies and red beans and rice. Let me tell you first of all it was a lot of food, everything was absolutely delicious. But the red beans and rice were amazing, plenty of flavor. And the sweet tea was excellent. We were to full from dessert but we will try some next time. We also met a manager and the owner and they were both very personable and friendly. They both acted like regular people and they both made us feel welcomed. Lastly we sat outside because we had our service animals with us and they also took very good care of them. They provided cold bowls of water and we order a chicken breast for them. Which they cut up in small pieces and provided them with to go bowls for them to eat out of. We live in Tampa which is about 1 hour away but our experience here was worth the drive. It is in a nice area with shops and stores. Definitely try this business if your in the area

Service was friendly and good. Southern charm feeling. We ordered 3 meals. Sea Bass, Redfish and Pick 2 with fish and shrimp. I had the redfish blackened and it was super flavorful with a kick. The crawfish sauce was excellent with 2 big shrimp on top. Everything was cooked well. The green beans on the side were nice and fresh. Rice was great to get that extra sauce. Wife had the Seabass and it was delicious as well. Great portion with a very tasty chimichurri sauce. I will try that next time as it was a hit. Green beans and potatoes on the side. Kid had the pick 2 and it was also very good. I actually liked the coleslaw. It was not mayo based and had a great taste. I ate it all! To start we had the fried pickles. Huge portion. Pickles were a nice thin slice with a seasoned coating. One of the better fried pickles we have had. Fighting for that last piece. Convenient location in an outdoor mall. Plenty of parking and can take a stroll after eating. Highly recommend this place!

This newer speakeasy in Lakeland needs a lot more love!!…read more I had heard about Lan Gran Muralla opening through a coworker and finally tried it out recently, and was thoroughly impressed. We made a reservation but went on a Thursday night and it wasn't real busy- but if you go say on a Friday or Saturday night I can imagine it gets full so I'd try to reserve just in case. You could come here for a full and delicious meal or just drinks. It's definitely a little pricey but the food was fantastic so I was more willing to pay. If you go, you MUST try the duck wings. That's right, DUCK wings, not chicken wings. Just absolutely so good and I have been daydreaming about them ever since. I will go back sincerely just for those, though I enjoyed everything we got here. It's kind of Korean-fusion inspired food, so they had sushi as well as other main entrees. I went for the sushi and was really happy with it- and the rolls were massive so you definitely got your money's worth. We of course also came to try the drinks. My friend and I were really disappointed when we ordered the "Pufferfish" drink as we had heard it's served in a literal pufferfish glass, and it just came in a regular glass. Not sure if they stopped doing that or what but it was part of the reason we went, we had heard they serve some of the drinks in pretty fun fashion. And considering that drink in specific cost $20 it was extra disappointing. But overall it's a fun atmosphere in here but the music may be a little too loud. Between that and the dark setting it felt almost closer to a club vibe then a mysterious speak easy. But i'll definitely still come back, to have the duck wings again and try more of the drink menu.

I booked a reservation in case it was busy because I also brought my daughter. They had kids menus and a gluten free menu for me. My son had grilled shrimp and fries with sprite, my daughter had the fish strips and green beans. I had the twin tails with a plain salad and mashed potatoes. I also tried the blueberry refresher, which was blueberry syrup in sprite. They gave my son the strawberry and caramel cheesecake for his dessert and I ordered the gluten free brownie with ice cream and whip cream and it had nuts on it too. I ended up giving the rest of it to my daughter since I was full. The food was amazing and I would definitely return to try more in the future.

It was lunchtime and the parking lot was about 3/4 full...a good sign. Prior to entering the front door, I couldn't help but notice numerous license plates from around the country attached to the ceiling of the entry. We were welcomed by a maritime theme, again, along with numerous license plates tacked up in numerous places on the wall. I immediately noticed a few amateur "ham" radio plates. We were greeted by a friendly hostess. The place was bustling with the sounds of many customers chatting and laughing as we were escorted to our table. She presented us with menus and told us our waitress would be there shortly. After a short while we were welcomed by Madison, a lovely, young "bubbly" waitress. She presented us with their complimentary signature biscuits with cinnamon butter and their delicious coleslaw. We had already reviewed the menu and were eager to try their Alligator Nuggets w/horseradish dipping sauce and an order of Fried Calamari. We gave her that and our drink menu. She would be back shortly for our main menu selections. In the meantime, we sampled those excellent biscuits and cinnamon butter and coleslaw. Both...delicious! My wife and I were both there for their catfish, which was recommended by our friends. I got their blackened catfish sandwich and their criss-cut sweet potato fries. My wife got her catfish sandwich southern fried along with the same sweet potato fries I had ordered. Our friends ordered their mahi-mahi with fries and shrimp and scallops linguine with Alfredo sauce. Madison came back shortly with our appetizers. My wife was the only one of our group that hadn't tried alligator before. She was very surprised, commenting that it tasted like chicken. Ha Ha! Both appetizers were excellent. After a short while, the kitchen staff came out with our main menus. Lovely presentations on all of them, and "first bites" were all well-approved! Madison returned a short while later asking how everything was going. We shared our delight with all the meals. Of course, there was no way any of us could possibly have finished our meals, so Madison came back with plenty of "to-go" boxes. It was a very worthwhile experience for us...and our friends who were delighted we had enjoyed our time there. It will be a definite return visit when we come back. Hats off to Madison and the staff that gave us all a very memorable experience at Catfish Country!

Found this restaurant as a convenient stop enroute. We entered right when they opened and there were already a few tables occupied. We were greeted by friendly Madison, our server, who could not have been cuter or nicer. The meal started out with warm biscuits and cinnamon butter. So good you could just eat these. We each chose a different fish dish from their lunch menu. Since they are named "catfish" country, I decided to get that. My husband ordered the cod. We chose the fish to be fried -- and they were lightly battered pieces and perfectly cooked. Each basket came with two sides. I got green beans and a baked potato. He had collards and cheesy grits. We both loved our fish choices. The only thing that I didn't care for were the green beans -- more like pole beans and peppery southern style (as in mushy). He thought his collards and grits were wonderful. I think we've found a new favorite place to stop mid-state.

We may not be in Texas, but this is my favorite American bbq spot!…read more Soooooo good. Love that they have lobster here too. Service is friendly and prompt, space is open and you have easy access to everything. If you get sliced brisket, you can ask for the fatty cuts. All the bbq sauces are great.... the lobster grilled cheese is now an off menu item, but it's something that's a must. Just a warning though.... the coleslaw is at about a dessert level amount of sweet. It's popular, but not for everybody. Wish there were more places like Gaskins! It's worth the drive if you're not from the area.

Only two ounces of lobster meat. I got it with the lobster bisque, which was really tasty. My brother Jonathan got the fish & chips with a side of barbecue beans. He thought the fish was made from an inferior fish and it was a bit dry. His barbecue beans were tasty, but quite oniony. Pro tip; We sit in the cushioned seating with the pillows. There are some uncomfortable seats with no padding or pillows. There are TVs with no volume and closed captioning. Overall, it is a good place to go, but keep in mind it is on the pricey side. I'm not sure the value is always there.
