    Great find by Yelp for a quiet drink and dinner! The weather was conducive for outdoor dining and this establishment perfectly provided that! Easy to find with plenty of parking options for early evening dining! Nothing warms the hearts of us two Army vets walking up to the patio better than the US Flag created with red, white and blue lights! We seated ourselves outside next to a huge Rose of Sharon bush next to a Rosemary plant which gave a wonderful background scent! Inside there was a full bar, lots of TVs, lots of tables and a very inviting small sports bar decor. Service was prompt, welcoming and very friendly! Our drink order was quickly taken and served, then our food order taken. The server was exceptionally skilled and assisted with our selection. In no time, my Caesar salad was out. Plenty of cheese and very fresh Romaine. Then as I finished the salad, out came the main course! I had a half order of fried catfish with fries. The huge thick filets were flavorful catfish battered and fried to perfection. Very moist and flaky. The fries were good, but the star was the catfish. The full order would be a meal for two. All else enjoyed their selections. Excellent service continued through our visit! The price was very reasonable and this is a must visit if in the area! I wish I was here more often!

    Arkadelphia has been an annual stop for us on road trips but this was our first time at S&S. Good selection of options including more than chicken fingers and burgers on the kids menu! Catfish, French Dip, kid sliders were all freshly made and really great. Service was extremely friendly and food came out fast. But....the fried green tomatoes took the day! Hand-held slices were lightly breaded and let the tomato flavor come through. Must-have. Highly recommend you pop in for a bite and a pint!

    Great staff and very inviting from the moment we open the door. And the catfish is the cat's meow!

    Great food and drink! Didn't expect to find such a great place in a small town. Next time you're in Arkadelphia, it's a must stop.

    This small restaurant in this small town should get more recognition than it probably does. First…read moreof all the place is cute and cozy. Secondly we had to wait a few to be seated on a Friday evening. That's a good sign. We were sat within 5-10 mins. Our server (Brie) I believe was amazing. We asked her for suggestions. She was not shy and suggested the pork chops and Fish. Boy was she right! I got the catfish. I am not a huge catfish fan unless it is done right and CLEAN. Theirs is exactly that! Well seasoned and amazing! The hush puppies were hand made not frozen and were the best from a restaurant that I have had. I also. Had the baked potato, potato salad. Again easily the best I have ever had. Back to the battered and fried pork chops, unless you are able to eat enough for a family of 4 or the 1/2 portion. They were simply seasoned in a way that any chef should be proud of!! We took 3/4 home and airfares them the next day. He had the green beans with the chops and Lordy they could potentially make you slap your momma. Here's the thing. We eat out a lot and I do write a lot of reviews but this hands down was one the top 5 experiences in the last 3-4 years. This meal with drinks was only $38 before a nice cash tip on the table. I will be back again and again! I hope more people find this special place so close to Lake DeGray

    This place just isn't for me. The fried green tomatoes were fine. The pretzel bites were not. There…read morewas no salt & no flavor. The cheese sauce was a not-good nacho cheese sauce like you'd get at the little league ballpark concession. The waitstaff was friendly & quick, so 2 stars...

    We had a fantastic visit to O'Keefe's Fish Net in Caddo Valley! The portions are very generous, and…read moreeverything from the service to the food to the overall value was excellent. My wife ordered the steak and shrimp with a salad, while I went for the fried oysters, gumbo, and what I believe they call "the experience" (a great combo!). We also ordered an appetizer, which came out almost immediately along with our sides and drinks -- super impressive timing. The shrimp on a skewer with Cajun seasoning was a real treat. The steak, shrimp, gumbo, and baked potato were all outstanding. My only minor note is that the fried oysters didn't have much oyster flavor or texture for me -- they were mostly crispy fried breading -- but I'm not going to knock them because everything else was so good. I'm sure they're prepared exactly as intended, and it's just not my preferred style. From start to finish, the service was great, the food was delicious, and the cost was very fair for the quality and portions. This is an easy 5-star spot! Highly recommended!
