One of the worst parts was shouting across the table because we couldn't hear each other. A redeeming factor- the catfish was good! We got the two blackened (or non-fried) options to try. The sides were your typical fried or cookout-like sides. The hush puppies were delicious and the coleslaw was coleslaw. I forget what else we got, but it was as expected if nothing else. We did order a side of fried pickles that was extremely disappointing. The pickles were dried out (I'm talking completely dehydrated) and shriveled up in an extra crunchy fried coating that fell apart easily, and easily were one of the most salty things we've ever eaten. Out of the massive bowl, we finished maybe a handful of them. The meal finishes off with free ice cream, and we didn't realize that we'd read an old menu on Google that said Blue Bell was the ice cream served... you can probably imagine the disappointment upon discovering that it was plain non-blue bell soft serve served in a Dixie cup. But hey- it was complimentary. We appreciated it. We didn't interact with many of the staff, but the two we did were very friendly. The waiter alone was wonderful. In conclusion, it was costly for what it was. I'm honestly surprised that this place stays quite as busy as it does because of the prices alone. Good for them, I guess. With some little improvements, this place could really be great.

Highly recommend asking for her! The menu made choosing difficult because everything sounded delicious. There were plenty of seafood options, plus several great choices for our daughter who doesn't eat seafood. She ordered the grilled chicken entrée and fried mozzarella sticks and gave both a big thumbs up. My husband had the BBQ shrimp with an ah-maze-ing sauce that absolutely stole the show. We dipped everything in it--the cheddar biscuits, my hushpuppies, and even my fried catfish and soft shell crab. It was so good that I brought the extra sauce home with my leftovers and couldn't wait to eat them later that night... and I'm usually not a leftovers person! Long story short: definitely go, order the seafood, and ask for Emily!

As I was returning inside, I was told it was paid for I asked was tartar sauce in the bag, which was stapled shut, and was told yes. I live in Laurel, got home and opened the bag, there was NO sauce and NO hush puppies Not sure what's going on with the catfish fillets, but they were flat, tough, and did not taste like catfish. As I was chewing, every other bite had a crunchy texture in it. I use to love and brag about Newt's to others but that was probably my last visit. That was my second subpar experience.
