    Man this place is so delicious What makes them a cut above the rest is the extra touch that they do with everything and the fish and fries are always good The grease is never bad It's amazing how many times I've come to this place and have never gotten bad grease like when you go to other places and you have that rancid grease taste We already know that the fried food isn't good for us but at least when you do. It's good and not saturated in Grease also it seems like it almost can tell depending on the day of the week when I get my food that there's a different person cooking the shrimp are always excellent but I know today my fish wasn't a seasoned as it was earlier this week. My only recommendation would be a bigger container a coleslaw And perhaps for it to be outside of the container where it would remain cold.. keep up the good work!!!
