I was served a loaded baked potato, fried catfish, baked beans, hush puppies, sweet tea, and the baked potato was the worst tasting thing I ever put in my mouth and I have served in third world countries. It is impossible to describe; however, I will try. When the potato was served it was so weird, ice cold and tasteless. The second potato was just as terrible and taken back to be heated but there was no improvement so I gave up and ate the other food that was excellent. If you choose to eat here pass on the baked potato. The fish, baked beans and hush puppies were the correct temperature and delicious; therefore, dropping their rating from a five to four and recommend the restaurant.

Reviewed By daddyxl
This is a great seafood place with incredible service! When you enter you go to the counter to order. Your choices are boiled or fried. We ordered the #2 boil which came with crab, shrimp, corn, egg, and a ton of red potatoes. You get to choose your sauce. We went with honey garlic butter and it was amazing! Make sure to stop here!

I caught-up with this amazing food truck at the Brew Hub in Lakeland and hope to see it very soon again. Nice menue selection but when I got tothe truck they also had a few specials. I went for the steamed shrimp - fat and juicy (I would say minimum size was16-20) with a good seasoning of Old Bay. I had the home-made cocktail sauce but the shrimpwere sogood I had this with my fries which were well cooked. Good portion size and lots of serviettes for "Old Bay" fingers. All this for just $13. Sandwiches and tacos ranged around $8-10 with just $2 for fries. A steal! Staff were chatty and super nice. I hope to catch-up with them very soon again.
