Seafood columbus ga12/2/2023 ![]() When my server returned with the blackened, I wondered what happened to the remaining shrimp on my plate when she quickly whisked the fried catfish away. If I'm being honest, I felt uncomfortable with the staffs reaction to my dislike of the food. (3.75 stars) Come to think of it, I believe the fried catfish that I was served is probably one whole blackened fillet sliced in two. ![]() I don't know why they choose to use two different sizes of catfish, but it stands to reason the fried catfish SHOULD be the larger of the two, but it was not. So much so that I confirmed it with my server just to make sure it wasn't my imagination. The size difference between the blackened and fried fillets is highly noticeable. I typically do not order catfish any other way than fried, but I was happy to have this as an option after sampling the fried catfish. *BLACKENED CATFISH - this was far more to my liking. These shrimp looked more like they had a freakish deformity, like a person with a split tongue. Also, their definition of "fantail" means cutting a slit down the center of the shrimp instead of flattening the shrimp out, which is what gives credit to the name FANTAIL. I've had fantail shrimp many times in my 4 decades on this earth and this is by far the smallest shrimp that ever qualified for this title. * FRIED FANTAIL SHRIMP - although I enjoyed the shrimp, they were entirely too small in my opinion. It is unlikely I will ever be back this way again. I thought about saying something to the manager, but decided it didn't matter. There were a group of servers standing just outside the kitchen when the comment was made, but it was clear to me they wanted me to hear it because our table was the furthest from the kitchen as you could possible be inside the restaurant. The fillets were much larger, better seasoned and juicy! When I asked if I could switch to the blackened catfish I overheard one of the servers say to another server "Now he wants the blackened" in a snarky sort of way. One of my table mates allowed me to sample a piece of their blackened catfish and I loved it. * FRIED CATFISH FILLETS - entirely too dry and the "fillets" looked more like large nuggets or fingers. * COMPLIMENTARY COLE SLAW - decent, but KFC Cole slaw sets the standard in my opinion and anything less is just wasted calories. * COMPLIMENTARY HUSH PUPPIES - good, but a tad too greasy for my liking. However, the appetizers turned out to be the best part of my meal. They were delicious and tricked my mind into believing the entrees would be equally amazing. I absolutely loved the fried onion rings and fried green tomato appetizers. ![]() While I really loved the quirky interior decor, such as the screened doors on the restrooms, I was not as impressed with the food. It was highly recommended by a few of my yelp friends and thought it would be a worthy place to add calories back to our bodies after a 3+ mile hike. I came here with a group of other yelpers after hiking Providence Canyon.
