All of that came to 100 bucks including 2 drinks. For the price, you don't get alot of food due to lack of combos as everything is purchased separately. Nice seating areas but not good for groups of more than 4 people. The po boy wasn't good as it was small and was dry as can be. Potato salad wasn't good at all to much mustard and tasted more like a slaw than potato salad. The soup was the best thing. Two hours after eating here and we were both in the bathroom non stop for the rest of the day and night so we got some kind of food poisoning probably from the oysters they didnt seem very cold like they should be. Btw this was are only meal for the day. First time getting sick from eating oysters.

Not this place, the catfish was meaty, cooked to perfection, seasoned by a master, and the breading was on point. I got a side of white beans and slaw that were also cooked and seasoned to perfection. I was worried about those mini hush puppies being too fried, but they were light and fluffy. My catfish did not need any sauce, but then they brought out that tartar sauce and changed my life. It was light, tangy, and you could taste the fresh dill; it was perfection. I would buy this weekly if they bottled it. This restaurant does it right, very efficient and friendly front staff, food came quickly, generous portions, seasoned to perfection, and everything was made to make you melt in your seat delicious. For fried food, it was not heavy or greasy. I can see why they have so many great reviews, hands down one of the best restaurants in Lebanon PERIOD! I don't care where you live, drive here, throw a dart at the menu, and you will get food made right and with a lot of heart. So glad we finally tried this restaurant.

I've been waiting to try this restaurant like it was a new nightclub (and I don't do that anymore)…read more I'd heard great things (by ear at another restaurant!) and on Yelp.

We'll be back.

Good atmosphere & great scenery. Best fried pickles I've ever been served…read more My group consisted of 3 couples (6 individuals total). Even when we rarely go out for boat days (usually in priest or old hickory) we avoid packed outdoor food venues, but it wasn't too bad on a Sunday afternoon here. No wait & plenty of outdoor seating with ample space between tables. One thing all of us mask wearers noticed was that the staff & servers were not masked at all, they didn't even have masks on them, & very few of the patrons coming & going had mask on either. Must be due to the geopolitical views of the people in the area. This concerned me & I kept my mask on the entire time except while eating since the staff were not masked & walking by closely and often. I won't let that factor into the review but it needs to be noted for others who look here for guidance. There were several drink specials & food specials made known to us by our server immediately & he was quick to fill our drink orders of mango habanero bloody marys & pontoon punch which are both highly recommend by our party. I ordered some fried pickles to split up & they are very different & exceptionally good. They are slivers of pickle spears fried in a manner that resembles fried green beans. Everybody raved about them & they were gone quickly. One order was almost enough to share for 4-5 people. Half of the party ordered club sandwiches & the other half ordered burgers & fish tacos. The fish tacos were stated to be better than Sams on old hickory & as good as some served on the Florida panhandle in PCB, Pensacola, Destin etc. the club sandwich was nothing to write home about, pretty basic & fairly bland. The Mac & cheese is well above average & could make the cut of the top 10 I've had in the middle Tennessee area. IMPORTANT NOTE. THEY CHARGE A 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more. If I was on the lake I'd probably come back, I'd expect to see masks on the staff though.

She told us it was lost and asked if we still wanted it, told her we were ok but it was brought out anyway. Very disappointed in the high dollar appetizer and dining experience. Also, why don't the servers have sections instead of taking turns with customers....seems like it would be easier to give the servers sections instead of every 3rd or 4th table, which seems like it would be difficult to keep up with. Very disappointing and not worth the $$$ it costs!

Probably the best catfish I've ever had. The location is not easily found. Back in the old days,…read morethis place would have been one of those places that you could only find by word of mouth. I ate here once back in around 2009. I wanted to return and try it again. I looked beforehand and noticed that they do not allow cards as a form of payment. It's cash only, or you could write a check with a form of ID (so the sign says). You walk in and are told you can sit anywhere you like. A waitress comes and takes your order at the table. They offer all you can eat catfish and coleslaw. I opted for that one "Adult fish plate" for $12.50. The waitress said I could go get coleslaw at a cold bar. The coleslaw was a little sweet for my taste. The food came out and the catfish was plentiful and good. I only could eat one plate. Worthy of note: there is a sign that says "No smoking" but that may have been a suggestion - or smoking was tolerated. Because the table next to me, there was an old grandma with a lit cig smoking. I believe in Kentucky they do have a law that smoking is not allowed in businesses but like I said, this place is isolated and in a hollow, so I doubt any fuss is made about it. Just an observation I had. You pay at the register when you leave.

The gentleman serving was very kind and friendly. My dinner was pretty much on his hands since I asked for his recommendations. I got myself a meal of fried catfish, a must try item, and 6-pc fried shrimp. The meal came with seasoned rice, coleslaw, and a side which I chose to be hush puppies. The wait for all these couldn't be more than 15 minutes, since it takes 9.5 min to fry the catfish. The catfish was so soft and melted in your mouth, the shrimps were plump and juicy. I was given spicy coleslaw which is interesting and delicious. All that with the seasoned rice, chefs kiss! For dessert, I highly highly highly recommend the keylime pie. As an avid tart lover, this pie hits home. I'd come back just for this pie. Oh and a piece of the catfish is enough for one person, it's a decent size, tho they do offer a meal of 1-3 pieces, so order accordingly :)
