The only reason this restaurant earned 2 stars is because the service was excellent. Without that,…read moreit would've been a 1 star experience. The food itself tasted good, but the portion size was shockingly small for the price. I didn't order a kids' meal, yet the amount of food I received looked like one--and I'm someone who doesn't even eat a lot. I was still hungry afterward. I paid over $20 for this meal, and it simply wasn't worth it. I ate at two other restaurants this week, spent less than $20 at each, and the food there was far better and portions larger and absolutely worth every penny. ( I ordered the combination platter which consisted of catfish, shrimp and sweet potato fries.) I guess they were rationing food the evening I placed an order for pickup.

Since it's Lent season, I expected a bit of a wait. I'm not big on hush puppies, so I swapped them for shrimp fried rice, and I'm glad I did! It was simple but packed with flavor and well seasoned. A nice surprise that paired perfectly with the platter. The fries were nothing special, but the coleslaw and tartar sauce tasted homemade, which gave the whole meal a comforting, small-town feel. It reminded me of those corner store seafood spots in New Orleans. I'd come back for another fried seafood platter!

On the yelp scale of 1-5 we give The Cottage a 7!! That simply means it is REALLY REALLY EXCEPTIONAL!! Dale & Linda Behan Fort Worth

Picked up a few things from the hot box and was pleasantly surprised by it all. I ate the hot box items an hour later while on the road so they weren't hot but my fault. Catfish was crispy well seasoned not dry. Better than the actual restaurant just yards away. Fried chicken thigh better seasoned and cooked perfectly. Taste like perfect home cooking.
