The Hush Puppy

I hadn't been to Hush Puppy in over 15 years & had loved the buffet and all-you-can-eat crab legs before. This location completely changed the menu with all-you-can-eat catfish instead, plus no longer has a buffet. The price wasn't bad, the portions were okay but the food was mostly fried and I'm not into a full-course fatty meal. The french fries were great though, seasoned lightly, as were the hush puppies. The service was quick also, as we went early and had the place to ourselves! There is another location on W. Charleston that has closer to the original memu so I'll try that sometime.

Mom and I usually go to the Hush Puppy restaurant on West Charleston and always enjoy it, but we just found out that their other location on North Nellis is open on Sundays at Noon! We were both very happy with the Nellis location also, even though it's in an older part of town and the area is a little run down. The restaurant looks rather plain on the outside and has a weird odor in the lobby, but that just makes it even more authentic. Having lived in South Mississippi for almost 25 years, I have to say they really nailed the ambiance of the place as an old fashioned Gulf Coast seafood shak! The salad bar was good (smaller than in the West side location, but more than adequate) and Mom was thrilled with their green tomato relish, which you don't see out here much in the West. The food was very good as we've come to expect from Hush Puppy. Mom had the all-you-can-eat fried catfish which is always great and I loved my choice of the blackened catfish with the giant baked potato (the potato was so large I saved that to take home for dinner!). Last but not least, the service was excellent. Our server Jen handled the front of house nearly all by herself, hostess, cashier and server, and was very attentive and friendly in spite of handling all that! Now that we know they have lunch service (Sundays only, but that's probably a good thing for my waistline!) we'll definitely be going back more often!

Haven't been here in YEARS but had a hankerin for catfish & BBQ ribs so brought my man who was impressed with the quality of the food and excellent service too!! Well worth the trip & for him to say he'd eat here again is a pretty big deal!! We had the special BBQ ribs, catfish and shrimp which included salad bar and drink and pecan pie for $46 and change before tip!! I'm very full & happy we decided to make this the spot for tonight!
