We tried a few appetizers and I had a main course. We did the clam strips and alligator bites. Both excellent. The garlic cheddar biscuits and Josh puppies before were great. I tried the blackened red snapper. Great !! The only complaint is very noisy and loud in here. You cannot have a conversation. They need to add so sound absorption baffles . But besides this definitely impressed with food and freshness of it all.

Guess they have changed how they make them, like forgetting to put much meat on there. If you are wanting lots of beans, some cheese and bbq sauce and chips then these are the nachos for you!!

The reviews were very positive, so I drove a bit out of my way to find Mike & Zack's, which was a bit of a hole in the wall, nearly always a good sign for me. I was the first customer of the day as the door was locked when I tried to enter. Must say I was a bit disappointed. For the pulled pork BBQ sandwich, there was an upgrade to more meat, which I did. I ordered baked beans as my side. Well, the upgrade to large was surprisingly small. The beans came in an extremely small container. There was one choice of sauce, which was OK, but I like a little more kick. Couldn't eat two bites of the sandwich as they were gristle. The decorations with all their awards was impressive. Maybe it was because it was so early in the day, but the bar was set pretty low.

It seems like a great spot for groups of friends and families, with a welcoming vibe. Our server, KK, was very friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was good, with generous portions that definitely gave us the energy we needed for the rest of our drive. The pork steak was a standout for me--well cooked and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, which were crispy and satisfying. All in all, The Fishin' Pig is a good place for a laid back, hearty meal.

1 Star -- Spoiled Burger and Very Concerning Response…read more My friend and I stopped at Fishin' Pig in Poplar Bluff for supper tonight around 5 PM. What started as an ordinary dinner turned into a very concerning food-safety experience. I ordered the Holy Cow Burger, and my friend ordered the brisket po boy with an extra order of fries. His sandwich did not seem to be brisket at all--it appeared to be pot roast and contained a huge piece of fat. He also never received the extra fries he ordered; the portion he received was no larger than mine. We had the missing fries removed from the bill. The much bigger problem was my burger. I immediately smelled that the meat was spoiled when it arrived. My friend smelled it as well. I took only a couple of very small bites and stopped eating it. I sent it back and, understandably, had completely lost my appetite and didn't order anything else. We told our waitress what was wrong. Unfortunately, she did not seem particularly concerned and mostly shrugged it off. It also appeared that the kitchen staff had not been made aware of the problem. Things became even more concerning afterward. My friend posted about our experience on Facebook, and the manager responded almost immediately. The manager then checked the burger meat in the kitchen and apparently discovered that the meat was indeed spoiled and disposed of all of it. That is a serious food-safety failure. I'm an older man, and spoiled food can potentially cause significant illness, especially for older customers and those with health conditions. The fact that management ultimately found the meat bad enough to discard it makes the situation even more troubling. An elderly couple was actually ordering burgers as we were leaving. I sincerely hope they noticed the odor and did not eat the same meat. Thankfully, I only consumed a couple of tiny bites. Hopefully that will spare me from any health consequences, but I shouldn't have to wonder whether a meal I ordered at a restaurant is going to make me sick. The food quality was poor, the extra fries were never delivered, and most importantly, spoiled meat was served to a customer. Even more troubling was the apparent lack of urgency when the problem was initially reported. Fishin' Pig needs to take this very seriously. Food safety isn't something a restaurant can afford to shrug off. I will not be returning, and I strongly recommend that management review its food-handling, inspection, and employee-reporting procedures.

The place is nice and modern looking/loud with the noise traveling all over like a noisy bar. The menu is good with something for everyone and we had a burger and country fried steak and I can only review the country fried steak. The service was that southern US slow but ok. I ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. The country fried steak was bigger than the average and hot from the fryer with a nice crispy crust. The steamed broccoli was slightly better than room temperature with a little crunch left in it and not total mush. The mashed potatoes were cold straight from the fridge for some reason like leftovers. My plate had chips on them that I would have thrown away in my kitchen. The water cup was a cheap plastic cup with a heavy a chlorinated taste in the water and not drinkable. Overall my lunch was disappointing for a restaurant with such a high number of reviews which I feel is fake compared to other restaurants in town.
