I have been coming here for a really long time. My parents always brought me and my two younger brothers here since we were very young and I’m 64 years old now. We would buy fresh caught catfish right here and have a great picnic with all the trimmings. I just love it here. Now me and my wife and kids, well they are grown now, but we have been bringing them since they were little. Really laid back and very relaxing. I highly recommended this place for a really great day.
