    Went there on a Thursday night (they're only open Thurs-Sat). Good place to go with the kids. Love the goats that keep ya occupied while waiting for a table. It really shortens the time. Me and the fiance ordered the $50 platter and it was more than enough for us AND the 3 little ones we had with us. Good frog legs, oysters and gator. It's be better if there were more options than fried and broiled. Even having raw oysters to go with the shrimp, fish and gator would have added a star.

    Nothing really special about this place! The setting is not all that bad and the building is nothing special, minor stuff right? The food, at best is average!! It was a true let down as we waited an hour and a half to get seated after a seven hour drive from the outer banks of NC. This was my dads birthday dinner, sorry pops!

    Nostalgia made me return to this resturaunt. I remember going with my entire family. Sadly, the food was mediocre for the price. You do get free grits and hush puppies with the order of any entree though. I guess that's how they justify it.

    Ambience. S Service. B Food. B- Price. A I have always heard about this place that have never actually been there. Astonishing. I was surprised how out-of-the-way in Edgefield and in the country this place was. It has a huge parking lot. Apparently people drive from afar to come eat here for the fried catfish. I recommend making reservations. We had a party of 20 and we still had to wait 20-30 minutes once we all arrived. Otherwise, the place in the parking lot as well as a restaurant was very crowded at 6:00 pm early Thursday evening. I like that they have all you can eat hush puppies and a grits bar. The hush puppies were nicely flavored, airy and crunchy. . The grits were nice, hot and lovely texture of grits. The server girl was very friendly. She was great and handling all of our orders as well as other tables as I noticed. I ordered the all you can eat catfish with the bone in it for $18.50. It came out with five pieces of catfish. The seasoning on the catfish was nicely seasoned and lightly battered. However, I felt the catfish was over fried so, a little on the dry side. I also ordered the small combo plate with fried oysters and fried scallops. Both items were over fried but still nice tasting. I did try my friends fried shrimp and they were perfectly fried. A small combo had 12+ shrimp and 2 catfish. Just wish everything I ordered was not over fried. Over all, I would go back again and if I was not in such a large group I would have requested not to over fry the next batch of my catfish. I would do this place again just for all you can eat hush puppies and grits and order a smaller platter combo. I

    Fantastic seafood served with care. The location is off the beaten path but there must have been 500 customers on line or eating by the time we left at 5:30. This is one of those places you don't mind driving an hour to reach. The catfish, shrimp, oysters, hush puppies...well, everything, was prepared to order and came to the table piping hot. Do.yourself a favor, Google this place. That's how we found it in the first place.

    Place is kind of neat especially if you have a child as they have ducks, fish and goats which the kiddos can interact with. Food is OK but expensive for what you get. We had the shrimp and catfish po-boys. Service was good although we were waiting on refills quite a bit. Would I go back - yes.

    Anytime a restaurant has a petting zoo you should expect the worst meal of your life. I looked at the menu online and I thought there were some healthy options. However when I showed up for an official function we paid 18 dollars for cheap fries food. Not even freshly fried, they had fried it at 5pm and served it at 7pm. Avoid this place. The locals are lying. There is nothing good to eat or do at this restaurant.

    I took my wife and Mother in Law here last night. My wife had the fried shrimp, my mother in law had chicken tenders and I had the all you can eat catfish filet. Everyone was impressed with their meal. My catfish was outstanding. Turns out all I could was brought to the table on the first trip. I could not have eaten another bite. The cole slaw, french fries and tarter sauce topped the meal perfectly. The out side of the building is almost surrounded by water and is beautiful and serene. I brought home some catfish stew and it was out of this world crazy good. They have ducks, geese, a peacock, fish and goats that the kids can feed. This is a family oriented and I highly recommend this outstanding it for your dining pleasure.

    What can I say? Delicious! The grits and hush puppies have been a favorite of mine for years. I've seriously never had a bad meal here. The fried shrimp is excellent! One person in our party last weekend got the frog legs and he was impressed. That was his first trip to Old McDonald's. I just love eating there, and wish I lived closer so we could go more often.

    I had heard a lot about this place so I decided to give it a try. The wait to be seated wasn't very bling considering the popularity of this place. Once seated I was very pleased with the excellent service. We enjoyed the free grits that were offered while we waited for our order. I wasn't pleased with my combination seafood platter, nor was my wife with hers. The fish and shrimp were not crisp and tasted as if they had been reheated. It was rather close to closing so maybe the food was reheated. We decided to give them another try earlier in the day. I was dissatisfied once again for the same reasons stated above. Fish is rather easy to cook so I amnot very forgiving when it is not properly prepared.

    This place is great. The kids love feeding the peacocks, goats, ducks, and fish. The hush puppy and grits bar is included with the meal and is always excellent. I recommend the "small portion" unless you have a huge appetite. The fried shrimp are always good as well as the catfish. I recently had the broiled scallops and they were cooked perfect and had excellent flavor. I highly recommend them. The wait staff is very friendly and always keeps the glasses full. They tend to get on a wait unless you get there early. Regardless, the food and service is certainly worth the wait.

    A nice family place where you can get flounder, gator tail, shrimp, hushpuppies, coleslaw, adb drinks in ball glass jars. The kids loved the animals - feeding the goats and fish, as well as just the nature aspecte of it. The gator tail was prety good, as was the shrimp. The flounder for the kids was decent - could have been better. Definitely will go back. It wasn't busy when we went (Friday at 5:30 PM), but I could see this place getting crowded.

    This is one of those places that gets great reviews from the all you can eat crowd and those who don't know how fish is supposed to be cooked. Fish is overcooked, not unusual, almost all restaurants serving fish in Augusta overcook it to death. Food here is also way too salty, another common sin many restaurants commit.

    After making the trek out to meet friends, was impressed that there was probably 30 people standing outside in line to get in. The atmosphere outside was peaceful and the inside was definitely country. Friendly staff w/ a great view of the pond, ducks and geese. The food was as expected for a place that specializes in deep-fried goodness.. I ordered the combo plate with the gator, scallops and whole catfish fillet. The gator was a little tough in comparison to other that I have had.. The scallops were good. First time I have had them deep-fried. The whole catfish fillet was as good as I expected. It was not overcooked, and the accompanying tarter sauce was just right. Was surprised that for a fish place they had no lemon or fresh onion.. For those that have never had catfish in Alabama or Mississippi, they always have a fresh slice of onion w/ their catfish. One of the people w/ me had the flounder and said it was good as well. I am never a big fan of the wait staff automatically adding the tip to the bill, but exactly as stated on the menu, they added 17% because there were 7 of us at the table.. Of course there was 4 separate checks. As I typically tip 18-20%, the girl lost money from me, as I figure if you have to add it, then that is what you have decided you are worth.. Overall a good experience, and I will try and get back out there to taste a few more of the menu items.

    I grew up in North Augusta and we used to come here all the time when I was a kid. So anytime I am back home for a visit I try to come in. We came in for dinner tonight and it was exactly like I remember it. Thursday night special is the all you can eat flounder, catfish, or perch special. All you can eat grits and hushpuppies is included. They serve their sweet tea in Mason Jars for that down home style. If you order the special, be sure to try the whole catfish, I learned from my Dad that this is the best choice. Come hungry and you will leave stuffed and happy!

    Just follow the signs and you will eventually discover this hidden gem of a restaurant just across the border into SC. Located in the middle of nowhere and only open on the weekends, it is worth the drive. There may be a line of people waiting, so sit back and enjoy feeding the goats, chickens, fish and other animals while you wait. Be careful not to fill up on the self-serve hushpuppies and grits while you wait for your food to arrive. The fried catfish is their specialty, and it is available for all-you-can-eat (whole fish or filet). Be sure to go there hungry!

    This place is fantastic! This restaurant sits back off into a dark road but once you get there... you really appreciate the adorable outdoor atmosphere! There is a pond with ducks that kids enjoy to feed and plenty of parking! The inside ambiance of the restaurant wasn't as "nice" as the outside but it made me feel comfortable that I wasn't in a stuffy atmosphere. The Grits and hushpuppies are free with your meal... so that's two stars right there! The grits were creamy and was cooked very well! The hushpuppies were good but I wasn't crazy about them. I love the fact that you can help yourself to as much as you want and when you want! We shared the "Fish Camp Special" and added an order of corn... It says it feeds 2-3 but easily it stuffed our party of five! We still had a few shrimps and such lagging behind! The dessert menu was short but the price for everything was such a bargain! I can't wait to go back!!!

    Great variety and nice atomsphere. The food is quite delicious from the grits to the hushpuppies. The prices are a little steep but worth it.

    I went there recently and the grits and hush puppies, which are all you can eat, were good. The stuffed jalapenos with crab meat was awful. Broiled shrimp was pretty good, but the fried catfish was overcooked. A bit on the pricey side, and I wouldn't go out of my way to get here but if I'm in the neighborhood I might stop by. The kids love this place as there are animals they can pet and feed, i.e. sheep and goats.

    Somehow we always end up taking out of town guests here. It is surrounded by goats, ducks, and chickens (fenced) and giant catfish which you can feed. Our friends and family from the US always love it but the French relatives were somewhat appalled. They didn't appreciate beverages in mason jars or the giant snake that decided to crawl up the window next to us during supper (a snake wrangler was dispatched as soon as the staff became aware). What seemed to bother them most was all the fried food. Most items are available broiled though. What bothered me the most is the way they ate the tarter sauce like it was a side dish. Oh well, next time we'll stick to Red Lobster (yuck) which they loved. Go figure.
