Thirsty Turtle, Inc. - Antioch

I heard they burnt down. Hopefully nobody was hurt or worse but glad they are gone.

My son and I stopped by and had the best food in this area! We had the great pulled pork sandwich as an appetizer. We had blackened catfish fish fry. It was the best fish fry I have ever had! The greens, slaw, fried cabbage and corn muffins were outstanding. The food is all from scratch so if it’s busy expect a wait.

The deck atmosphere is beautiful over Channel Lake, nice tiki bar, and they have Carlos, a new cook who is amazing! Had the special of some blackend catfish was amazing. Good food. The menu is short right now, so ask for specials or anything the cook will make special for you. Definitely going back.

We ordered carry out and they said it would be about 20 minutes. (I live a block away) I left on the 20 minute mark. Food was hot and ready to go when we got there so that was good. Ordered 2 po boys and 2 tender meals total of $42. The sauce on the po boys was excellent. My in-laws live in Louisiana and I visit often. My favorite thing down there is the shrimp po-boys. The one from turtle was good enough that I would get it again when the craving. The biggest down fall is that for both sandwiches the shrimp was rubbery. Other than that the taste was good. Would rate 3.5 out of 5. Biggest down fall is there is no kids menu. We have 4 little ones and would probably eat there more of they had a kids menu.

Cool place on the lake. Great service and nice views.
