The fried platters here come in Calabash style. That means light breading, quick frying, and seafood that stays the star. The large platters are famously big, so take-home boxes feel almost guaranteed.

The dining room holds only a handful of tables. A few more sit outside on a back deck. The building is old, simple, and clean, which feels exactly right for a place this focused on food.
