I'm very sorry to hear of your displeasure with our catfish. We are very proud of the food we serve and strive to make everyone happy. By any chance did you speak to your waiter/waitress about the catfish? We don't want anyone dissatisfied and if we knew the catfish was undercooked, we would definitely have replaced it. I hope you... More

Mr. Jines, I'm sorry...the table came in after you and wanted a round booth and they asked to be seated there. That is the only round booth that would fit that party. We are a family restaurant and do have children come to eat at the restaurant with their parents. We normally don't ask them if their children are rowdy... More

We just love this place. When you are first seated and they take your order, they promply bring out the navy beans, cole slaw, and hush puppies. All is served family style. This is just like Mom's home cookin. Their beans and slaw are wonderful. We always get their catfish, but they have many different entree's to order. They do... More

On my trips to KC, I always like to come here. The portions were good and food was served hot and fast. Lately, (last couple of years) it seemed to be going down hill. Service: We were greeted quickly and seated right away. The server brought out the bowls of beans and other dishes quickly, but the main meal seemed... More

We went to the Olathe Ks location on last Tues. I ordered my catfish grilled and when it was brought to the table it was just white and sitting in liquid. Think they had boiled or steamed it and some of it was still pink. No grill marks or crispy outer like it was on a grill. Ordered gravy on... More

I am so terribly sorry that you were dissatisfied with the food and service. Even though that was our last Groupon night and we were terribly busy, that is no excuse for the inattentive service or substandard food you received. I'm not sure if you voiced your dissatisfaction at that time, but I hear you loud and clear right now.... More

From the moment you walk in, until the moment you walk out, we are treated as royalty. We especially enjoy beans and cold slaw that are served family style. Everyone is able to find a main course that is perfect for their pallet.

The catfish served here are farm raised and excellent! Crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth on the inside. Served with slaw, beans and ham and hush puppies...all hand made. They don't do much advertising...they don't have to! Couldn't be friendlier than the people here and everything is nice and clean. Lots of stuffed fish and animals of... More
