I moved away in 1984. First time back since. The place has changed dramatically ! It's huge outside eating area is great for families and large groups. It's kid friendly with a large playground. The inside restaurant is modern and very nice. Be prepared for very large portions and delicious food. The fish was great ! The onion rings did not disappoint ! I give it a 10 out of 10 !!

The best fish sandwich in Louisville,KY. Plenty of parking spaces. A lot of choices for seating inside and out.

Everything was very good but you do have to like fried food. The fried fish is great and the portions are HUGE! They have a really cute playground area too!
