This place is so great. The people who work there were very nice. The food was AWESOME. We had a fishing trip that morning and were referred by Bobby Ray Cagle who was our fishing guide (which was also awesome). We handed over our fish on ice. They cooked them up perfectly! We had some blackened, some fried, and some grilled. Our favorite was the grilled and they were TOP KNOTCH. Our waitress was also a very sweet young pretty girl. She and her Co workers made my son happy and proud of the big fish he caught. I have nothing but positive things to say about today. Thank you for making my son’s birthday trip even more memorable for him. Priceless memories.

I’m not a seafood fan, but they had plenty of other options. The lunch prices are incredible, especially considering you get complimentary tea and bread. The chicken tenders were fabulous and the mac&cheese is out of this world. My husband really enjoyed the fried shrimp. Next time I’ll be trying the steamed veggies! Our server was so friendly and welcoming. They mentioned they will be closed during the hangout music festival and renting parking spaces instead.

As much as I would to give DeSoto’s 5 stats because a handful of people have said it was good I just can’t. We ate there in late April and it was not busy at all and the service was not great at all. Our server literally came around to bring food and the bill. When they gave the bill they refilled our waters that were empty for much of the time. When the server filled the water he spilled a bunch of ice and water from the pitcher on us and our table. The food was ok but I had better from other places in the area. The last thing is the 3% credit card charge! They automatically add it on to your bill and I think also add sales tax to it. The way they added it to the bill in the end and I had to ask about what the cash price would be made me a bit irritated.

Ate here twice this week during our Spring Break trip out from Texas. The staff was very friendly both times and the food excellent. Pricing was in line with everywhere else, but overall very good. The second visit we had to wait a very long time to get our food, but we think it was due to two huge groups that got seated just before we did. Overall, recommended!

I tried to go here last night for dinner, but I was told it was going to be a two hour wait, so I decided to go today for lunch. And now I know why they are always packed! I ordered the broiled seafood platter, which was a flounder fillet broiled almondine style, broiled shrimp and broiled scallops, black eyed peas and french fries. It was all incredibly tasty, served quickly and hot. I highly recommend them for a quality and affordable seafood meal!

The food was excellent, this is really a good, good seafood restaurant. The servings are huge and delicious. The service is great and their knowledge of their job is excellent. The place is very clean, and I felt comfortable almost like being at home. I recommend this place to all.

Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. I had the broiled platter which included shrimp, scallops, and flounder. The shrimp were some of the best I’ve ever had. Great food at decent prices!
