  • Atlanta Food Critic ..

    THIS is the kind of place food critics dream about! We started walking in and, not knowing anything about the place whatsoever, I asked a group leaving "What do they have good inside?". The response was clear "Catfish". I was ready! Bring it! When we stepped inside, we went through a time warp. This place hadn't changed in forty years. If you are under 40 or have a BMI of under 40, you're going to feel really out of place initially. We were definitely among the younger set and there were quite a few guys seated that made me feel rather svelte. After a short wait we were seated. It took longer for our server to make initial contact but hey, these folks are busy! Let me tell you, they are serving up a bunch of food in this place. I was able to take one picture inside before I started getting the evil eye. Melanie and I remarked that we really had traveled back in time. People were actually sitting at the table talking with one another rather than everyone having their face glued to their phone. What kind of place was this? Needless to say, I was a little scared to start snapping pictures of food because it seemed awkward and out of place. Melanie ordered the Shrimp Plate and I ordered the Seafood Platter. We had gotten salads as one of our sides and ordered a baked potato for another. When our meals arrived, I could not believe the portion size we received. You will not leave hungry from Campton Restaurant. We weren't thrilled with the salads. It was just iceberg lettuce, but the dressings were good and really the main thing here is the entreé. My Seafood Platter consisted of oysters, shrimp, scallops, deviled crab and perch. I declined the oysters for additional shrimp and upgraded to the tilapia. It's all fried and you can't get it any other way. There are a few items on the menu that are available grilled or broiled but not many. Melanie and I both thought the shrimp was outstanding. Lightly breaded and perfected prepared with no tails it was absolutely delightful. I love cocktail sauce while Melanie shuns it and prefers tartar sauce. The cocktail sauce tasted homemade and has a spectacular kick to it that makes me think there's something more than just horseradish in there. The scallops were small but juicy and didn't taste gritty (an indicator of cheap scallops that haven't been cleaned properly). The deviled crab was the show stealer. Stuffed high out of the shell, the flavor was out of this world. This is a must-have when you visit Campton Restaurant. By the time I got to the tilapia I was about full. Somehow though, I persevered and was able to finish it off. Melanie didn't have as much luck with her plate and left three shrimp stranded whom I rescued by finishing them off. When the server came to check if we wanted dessert, we both realized that was out of the question and we just needed to sit for a while before we left. By the way, the dessert was peach cobbler with ice cream for $2.50. IMG_1298When you come to the Campton Restaurant, don't bother looking for the sign - there isn't one. Instead, look for the most cars parked by Hwy 11 just north of Monroe and be prepared to experience some awesome, cheap seafood and fish. Guten appetit!
