Okie's Restaurant

I don't know if it's because they had just changed their menu this week or what but the catfish dinner (11.99) had 3 very small pieces of fish on it (oversalted on the breading), the smallest hushpuppies in the world (seriously, just one was about the size of about 3-4 peas) and some really store-bought tasting potato salad. The ""sauce"" was so thick that it just didn't taste good with the fish. Again, the sauce tasted store-bought. The zucchini appetizer had about 1/2 a zucchini on it for $8.99. They were fried so long that they didn't have a delicate crunch when you bit down - they actually had a very hard crunch that was no appealing at all. I've made better at home. My son got the chicken fingers dinner ($11.99) which came with 3 chicken fingers that were much bigger than my fish for sure but they were overcooked. Not much in the way of side dishes but he had a pretty decent sized portion of fries. I have pictures of our plates but can't post them on CitySearch. We've gotten the same dinner for 1/2 the price and bigger portions at other restaurants. Looks like we won't be going back. GH - grumpyhair dot wordpress dot com more

We were treated like royalty: everything was delicious and served fast. Our waitress was super sweet, the place is spotlessly clean and the atmosphere is unmatched. There's no microwave cooking here: the food is made fresh and it shows. Leave Red Lobster alone and get over to Okie's: they will rock your socks off! It was like a mini-vacation and I'd go there again tomorrow if I could. Pros: Best of everything Cons: They need to open a location near my house more

Food was good for the price. Server was not really all that friendly. We were visiting from out of town... she never really seemed interested in us or tried to start conversation at all. She left our finished plates on the table after several trips back and forth. Food is good and atmosphere is interesting. I reccommend that you go early... it gets really busy. Pros: Service was quick, food was good Cons: Service was not really friendly more
