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.

They have some interesting concepts, and some more ordinary stuff as well. Their prices are also entirely reasonable and there's something for everyone here.

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!! What a huge disappointment!!! I'm hoping the sandwiches haven't changed also but won't order the nachos again.

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.

Any time I travel to visit family in the area, Dexter Queen is a must stop on the itinerary…read more I have been coming here since I was a kid, visiting from St. Louis and I am sure part of it is nostalgia but even with the change in ownership, the pig sandwich still has me coming back. Lots of changes to the building over the years but my pig basket is a constant. The pig sandwich comes with pulled pork, a cabbage/slaw, and the hot mustard sauce. The basket includes a generous portion of crinkle cut fries. Sometimes I order a hot fudge malt but usually want to save all the room for the sandwich. With trips to Dexter decreasing over the years, I have taken to ordering a bunch of sandwiches and freezing them when I get home. It works better if I get the slaw on the side and freeze that separately. You can also purchase bottles of the hot mustard sauce. The fries I eat right away with my first sandwich. Love this place and hope to keep returning for years to come
