Frequently Asked Questions

We are open Wednesday through Sunday, 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. We are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Hours may change on major holidays — call ahead if you are driving from out of town.

No reservations for the main dining room. Seating is first come, first served. For parties of 10 or more, or for private events, please contact us in advance so we can plan ahead.

Usually 15 to 30 minutes between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Arriving before 5:30 PM or after 8:30 PM almost always means walking straight to a table. During snowbird season (January through March) expect slightly longer waits.

Holiday hours vary year to year. We usually close on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and open with limited hours on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Call us at (352) 726-2212 for the current year's schedule.

No delivery. We are pickup-only. Our food travels well but it is best fresh, and we would rather cook it when you are on your way than hand it off to a third party.

At least 30 minutes from the time you place your order. Large orders (10+ items) may need more notice. You can place an order online from the menu page or call us directly.

Call us at (352) 726-2212 as soon as possible. If the kitchen has already started cooking, we may not be able to make changes, but we will do what we can. Once food is cooked, we cannot cancel.

We hold your order for 20 minutes past your pickup time. After that, we may have to remake it or, in rare cases, release it. Just call and let us know you are running behind — we are reasonable people.

Free public parking is available along W Main Street and in the downtown Square lots, all within a short walk of our door. There is no lot reserved for the restaurant — the street parking usually empties out every few minutes.

Absolutely. We have a kids' menu, high chairs, and booster seats. Servers are used to families, and the noise level is forgiving. Nobody is going to mind a toddler having a moment.

We do not have a patio. All seating is indoors. The Square across the street is a nice place to eat takeout on a cool day — some guests do exactly that.

No dress code. You will see flip-flops, Sunday dresses, cycling gear, and everything in between. Wear whatever you were going to wear anyway.

Yes. There is a ramp entrance from W Main Street, accessible restrooms on the main floor, and staff available to help with doors and carryout bags. Large-print menus are available on request. See our full accessibility statement.

Plenty. We have burgers, chicken tenders, salads, meatloaf, steaks, and a full kids' menu. The ribeye and the walnut-craisin chicken salad are both popular with seafood-averse guests.

Limited. The fried green tomatoes, mozzarella sticks, house salad, and several sides are vegetarian. Vegan options are very limited — if you have strict dietary needs, call ahead and we will tell you honestly what we can do.

Many grilled and broiled items, salads, and sides can be prepared gluten-free. Fried items are not — our fryer uses shared oil and shared batter. Tell your server and we will walk you through what is safe. We are not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, so cross-contact is possible.

We cook shellfish in the same kitchen as everything else, and we cannot guarantee a shellfish-free environment. If your allergy is severe, we recommend calling ahead so we can talk through the risks honestly before you make the trip.

We do not publish full nutrition facts. If you have specific questions about ingredients, calories, or sodium, ask your server or call us and we will get you the information you need.

Usually yes, with notice. Call us at (352) 726-2212 at least 48 hours in advance so we can arrange tables and plan kitchen timing. For larger events, see our private events page.

We can split checks for up to six people at a time. For larger groups, we ask for a single check or pre-arranged split. Talk to your server at the start of the meal and we will work it out.

We offer bulk takeout for groups — trays of fried catfish, hushpuppies, sides, and desserts. We do not do off-site catering or full-service event planning. For a large takeout order, call ahead at least 72 hours in advance.

Cash, all major credit and debit cards, and Apple Pay / Google Pay. We do not accept checks. Takeout orders are paid at pickup — we do not take payment online.

Yes. Gift cards are available in any amount at the front counter. They can be used for dine-in or takeout orders and do not expire.

We occasionally run seasonal specials, which we announce on our newsletter and in-restaurant. We do not offer a standing military or senior discount, but we appreciate your service and your business either way.
