Get this, my wife introduced me to a hole in the wall establishment years ago and every now and then I take the leap. I was looking for a close fish place and when I was reading the reviews I saw hole in the wall. So we went and the food was freshly cooked or you could buy it raw. It was a great day experience and we went two days in a row. We got there just before the rush got their and a lot of people love this place. If you like seafood, this is a must try.

Our 1st time visiting. Even on a busy Saturday night, they were friendly, polite, patiently answered our questions and got our order ready and right in about 20 minutes. We did takeout and it was awesome. Man we met there said he eats there 3 times a week. We will definitely go again.

The 20 piece shrimp cajun low country boil was delicious. Make sure to ask for garlic butter on the side. Just a heads up, call before you go.....takes about 20 minutes to prepare. Not down south friendly, but she was kind. Fair price. Did I mention......IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!!

Villa Rica needs more restaurants like this. Local owned and great food. I order fresh seafood as well as menu plates. Always excellent and fresh. I read a lot of reviews saying customer service is bad. It is not. Small staffed establishment and they do not have time for you to take 10 minutes to order. Small menu, not hard to read and decide what you want while you wait on the owner to help you.

This is a great place with extremely fresh seafood! You can pack it up and take it home or they can cook it for you. Either way it's really good!
