I was always told by my mother..."never go grocery shopping when you are hungry!" I heeded her word and went by David's catfish Saturday for lunch, I had a shrimp poboy, it was divine!!! I had the turnip greens and cheese Grits with it, and I had to take a little napp in the truck right there in the parking lot!!! The food was fantastic, the service was first rate, and being a disabled veteran, the young lady gave me a 20% discount on our entire meal!! You rarely find a place like that!! I also took home just as much shrimp as I had on my sandwich, they really piled it on! They get a hard 6 out of 5 from me!!!

The catfish was great, with the best coleslaw and hush puppies. Next time we are in town that will be our place to eat

Went and had the catfish basket with a side of coleslaw for lunch today. The coleslaw was great. The catfish was cooked to order. The tea had plenty of lemons. And the bill was surprisingly low. I will be back for more.

David's is always delicious. The catfish and shrimp are always fried just right and not greasy. The slaw is wonderful. The seafood platter is always a large portion of seafood and not just fries. It's a must try.
