Joe's Restaurant was our choice for a place to eat out in September. We went there on Labor Day. The exterior is nothing special:
but the food is:
I had the catfish plate, as did The Daughter. The Husband had the country ham plate, and The Son-in-Law had the pork tenderloin. The Younger Son had a cheeseburger. The menu had options enough to suit everybody, including steaks, a couple of Italian dishes, salads, vegetables...
We were seated in a glassed-in room that was quite comfortable with plenty of light.
Service was great. I had enough fish left over for The Husband to save for supper that night. The Daughter brought donuts for dessert:
What a fun family holiday!

always fun to eat out with family-food looks delicious too
ReplyDeleteI love the "eat out with family" occasions :)
DeleteMany years ago, I had a blind date with a Naval officer. He gave me some good advice. He said "You never get a bad meal at a steakhouse or a chart house." I've never had catfish, but your plate looks good. Love the hush puppy side, too.
ReplyDeleteFried catfish is hard for me to resist :) and hush puppies are how I judge how good the catfish is ;)
Deletewow! your lunch looks amazing. Oh! are those hush puppies? I haven't had a hush puppy for about 20 years!!!
ReplyDeleteglad you had a great time.
thanks for sharing:)
Yes! Around here if the catfish plates don't come with hush puppies I don't trust the restaurant to do fried catfish right ;)
DeleteThat food looks delicious, and is making me hungry! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was delicious, yes :) And such a variety of options!
DeleteI like the room with all the large windows - bright & cheerful. It's nice to have a meal out & then enough left over to enjoy a second time at home ... for me it's always the extra treat of not having to come up with something for dinner (col). I've had Hush Puppies & laughed at the history of them. When one of my sisters lived in Tennessee she learnt very quickly how to make.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was quite pleased when they seated us there. Hush puppies are one of the delights in life lol I've never made them, but I remember Mother making them while explaining where the name came from. So funny!
DeleteSounds like yummy fun! I would have chosen the fish! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI always choose fried catfish at restaurants like this when it's offered. Yummmm! :)
DeleteThe catfish looks delicious, and the hush puppies look pretty good, too. I'm not a big fan of hush puppies, but there are certain things they just go perfect with, like deep fried fish.
ReplyDeleteI've never had hush puppies with anything but fried catfish lol I'm always surprised when fried catfish is served without them :)
DeleteIt sounds like a great family time. I have never eaten catfish but I love fried fish and it sure looks good. And were those hushpuppies on your plate? I love hushpuppies and you can't get them anywhere up here in the north. And who can refuse a donut? Happy T day. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt was such an enjoyable time together :) I've been eating fried catfish and, yes, hush puppies :) as long as I can remember. Daddy was a great fisherman when I was little :)
