Wife and I ate there Friday. I ordered the so called seafood platter, wife had barbecued shrimp and mashed potatoes. She had so much oil and grease in her bowl it was absolutely disgusting. I had two tiny pieces of very undercooked fish. The TWO hush puppies were so hard and small like a marble you couldn’t eat them without breaking a tooth. Fries were cold and hard. Both orders were 23 dollars!
We sent the food back and left, all the while they kept trying to get us to stay and try other food. This place will not last.

A seafood platter and a BBQ shrimp dish at these price points seem very fair.

I don't know what people are expecting sometimes when they complain about restaurant prices

I can't comment on the actual food because I haven't been there

Seafood is expensive. Fry oil is expensive. The latter has doubled in cost since the beginning of Covid. Repeat: a 35# container of fry oil has doubled in cost.

Everyone wants living wages to rise but no one wants to pay for the results. Be careful what you wish for

Mike Anderson’s, that’s what’s happened. Drive by the old Sammy’s location and look at the parking lot.

This place has been around for over 20 years

Might have been an off night, I take clients there a good bit for lunch and have never had any probems
