Today, I had one of the best meals you could get from a location connected to a gas station. I have been searching for a place with fried fish and shrimp. I've driven past this location for several weeks, since moving on this side of US 288 but just didn't have a clue what I was missing. From walking in the door to leaving out with my leftovers, the experience was wonderful. The cashier Icy was very informative and helpful when deciding on the meal. My roommate and I settled on the Super Platter for Two that comes with double French fries. We subbed one order for mac & cheese, per Icy's suggestion. We also ordered soft drinks, fresh lemonade and Southern Sweet Tea. We sat down at one of the five tables inside the small end-cap storefront. There was a video on loop with the owner cooking some of her signature dishes. It was edited like a social media short or reel, so it was cute and entertaining. She showed various drinks she paired with the entrees and appetizers, as well. The food was packaged in to-go containers. Sealed to-go utensils are also given, for convenience. The platter was overflowing with piping hot, fried goodness. Shrimp, wings and hushpuppies swamped the container while two large fish fillets at the base of the plate. One bite of a French fry and a swig of the Southern Tea and I knew I had made the right choice. Each bite, from the mac & cheese to the wings, was perfectly seasoned and expertly crafted. While the fish was thick and flavorful, I would have preferred a thinner fillet, fried extra crispy, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. To end such a delicious meal, I ordered a separate dessert of Banana-LESS Pudding. It was everything I love about this classic Southern dessert, especially the no bananas part!!! The Roommate is a Banana Pudding PhD LOL, so the absence of fruit made him suspicious but even he was impressed with the silken texture, Chessman cookie topper and graham cracker crust. Balanced flavor, thick pudding and portioned appropriately. The entire experience was so good, in fact, I asked to speak to the Manager Ashley so I could express my contentment and joy. The menu is diverse, allowing for vegetarian/pescatarian tastebuds to be satisfied. Healthy portions, seasoned like your Big Mama would make and friendly service make for an unforgettable meal in a fast-casual setting. I hope to see this business bloom and expand to a brick and mortar within the next year. I will certainly be adding this as a new favorite option in my restaurant roulette.
