Family Fish House - Hazlehurst

I happened upon this family restaurant on my way back from a golf outing. I was hungry and still nearly an hour from home. I made a U-turn, pulled into the gravel parking lot, and went inside. I seated myself and listened to country folks chatting about the lack of rain, ponds drying out, crops failing. Within just a few minutes of ordering, my 3-piece catfish filet dinner came out. Sides included cole slaw, greens, hush puppies, and just the right amount of french fries. ? The food was great! I'm not a big fan of greens, but I've got to say, these were awesome! Friendly staff; delicious food; down home atmosphere. One could not ask for more! I'll be back for sure!

Nice family atmosphere never know who you might sing happy birthday too

Service was just a mediocre as the food. I Spent $91 on 4 plates of fish that tasted like Penns. Way overpriced. The greens were sweet. The fries were dry and the fish had no seasoning. Next time we will just go to Penns.

Building/Parking Large gravel lot for parking Exterior of building looks nice Interior of building is very dated and grimey. Several stains on the walls around the dining area, and the tables were disgusting. They definitely need to be stripped and refinished. Women 's room was cramped and freezing cold with no hot water. (Unsure of the men 's)Staff We were promptly greeted, but told to seat ourselves. It took just a few minutes for the older, very polite waitress to greet up and take our drink order. Upon checking out, my husband wasn 't asked for ID to verify the card user NOR was he asked to sign a ticket. (Definitely didn 't like this...)Food/Beverages They charge for water.... Definitely not okay considering the insane prices they charge for food. The (overly) sweet tea was light brown Karo syrup/sugar water. Absolutely no need in having that amount of sugar in what 's supposed to be tea. They offer bottled water and canned Coca Cola products. They substituted ALL of my husband 's sides for a tiny side salad. Which he was very displeased because he wanted to substitute only the coleslaw and greens. So, we were charged $20 for 2pc of fish, some shrimp and a micro side salad. The greens that I received with my order were absolutely disgustingly sweet. They were almost as sweet as the brown water they called tea. The shrimp had no flavor, and the small plate I ordered was not worth $17. Our kids seemed to enjoy their fish plates, but neither ate the hushpuppies. These were $10 a plate. The catfish pieces were very undersized for the prices. Two might make a sandwich. I didn 't order, but I did inquire about the gumbo. I was informed that it 's not made in house, but is ordered as is from their supplier. I was disappointed by this. There was no remoulade sauce. The only option for lemon was the sodium benzate laced packets on the tables.All in all: needs a serious deep cleaning, leave the tea bags in longer, less sugar, real lemons, seasoning on the food, remove sugar from the greens, make the gumbo in house.Won 't eat here again unless things improve.

Great staff (waitress had worked there since she was 10) and good food. I did not get the fish nor the frog legs but everyone else enjoyed them. I was treated with kind service. Meal was hot shrimp, oysters, hush puppies, greens and fries, as well as cole slaw and onion slices......what a meal
