What diners say — our read

Complaints here are real, but they are mostly not about the kitchen. Freshness tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 5.0 stars. After that, value for money appears most often — 24% of the corpus, averaging 3.8.

Portion size shows up in 18% of reviews as well, averaging 4.7. 1 star is the modal score, given by 6 of the 17 reviewers who rated. The split is 11 positive to 6 negative across 17 rated reviews.

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (93/100), with 1 intermediate and 4 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. That inspection was on February 20, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 53% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. Among the items recorded were potentially hazardous foods properly thawed and nonfood-contact surfaces clean.

Worth separating: the complaints above cluster on front-of-house, not on the kitchen, which inspected well. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    A GREAT Fish sandwich!

  • June 25, 2026

    Food not very good. Fish wasn't 🐟 flavored, fries had no salt just tasted under not good.

  • June 15, 2026

    The man that take orders is very rude and disrespectful I don’t no why he working there

  • June 14, 2026

    Its good

  • June 11, 2026

    Well worth going way out of my way for the fried catfish. The fish was excellent and the portion size was generous. The fries could have been crispier and definitely needed a bit more salt, but overall it was a very satisfying meal.

    Everything is cook to order..you may have to wait 5 or 10mins..worth the wait..very fresh. Love this place..

  • May 18, 2026

    Definitely the best fish you would ever try! Make sure to call 30 min before you go cause they cook everything fresh and have a long waiting time

  • May 17, 2026

    The best fried catfish I have ever had. And the PORTIONS were gigantic for an excellent price. Passed up eating at Disney to drive here specifically for this😍

  • May 16, 2026

    Food is not that good and way overpriced.

  • May 15, 2026

    This place didn't disappoint. Saw it on a girl Instagram and had to go while visiting Orlando. The food was plentiful, hot, fresh, and tasty. My daughter said I give it a 10 out of 10. Awesomeness. Lots of food for your money.

  • May 13, 2026

    Fresh, hot and huge portions

  • May 8, 2026

    Guy at front window, takes your order, you think he hears you right, you repeat your order, but get to your car and realize he gave you the wrong order. Call back while in front of the restaurant and he says since you walked to your car with order, you have to keep. Ordered Mullet dinners, gave Nasty Talapia fish and refused to admit mistake. Be ware. Their in our neighborhoods, want our service, but treat us terrible. I didn't want to go back and forth with the man so I kept the nasty fish waisted $20.00. Drove 40 minutes due to hearing this food was great. Never again!!!

    You can only place orders at the window or drive through. I was not happy with my order and requested a refund.

  • April 21, 2026

    I ordered the flounder fish and fries it was delicious.

  • April 14, 2026

    TOTALLY HORRIBLE!!??

  • April 13, 2026

    I tried calling to place and order and was told that they couldn’t take my order and didn’t do orders and combo. The person on the phone either did not understand English or did not want to be helpful.

    Best fish in Orlando hands down has always been since I was a kid 20+years strong 💪
