I'm really glad we stopped here on our way to Galveston. It was recommended by a coworker and definitely good reason! It was my first time trying fried softshell crab and it was very good! My husband got the chicken fried steak, which I don't normally like, but it was also really good. Also a really nice view! I love their pond.

We stopped for a midday break on a long drive to the coast and were glad we did. All the dishes were excellent and well presented. The service polite and friendly. The grilled shrimp lunch nicely seasoned, the fried frog's legs tender and tasty and the fried catfish good too.
