How is this place?

Pretty bad.

I wouldn't pay to eat there. Slap a new name on the building, move it 100 yards away and it would close in 6 months. They are a great example of how irrational people can be about restaurants. People still go because it was a hot spot back in the day. The whole city accepted it as a "good" restaurant and that city wide acceptance is still around, however irrational, and it takes years to dissipate, maybe a generation or more. (Mike Anderson's comes to mind as well) That's why, if you are considering starting a restaurant, you never go up against an old crappy restaurant that is still irrationally popular, even if they do suck. It's an old lion that won't die easily. It's still stuck in a lot peoples mind as a good place to go.

Don't believe any of these snobs. I've never seen any bugs or flies or anything like that there and the food is solid. It's not the best and it's not the worst. It's not a place I would go out of my way for, but it's not bad for a dinner meeting. I'd go with one of the blackened fish dishes.

I eat lunch there about 5 or 6 times per year when I meet with the orthodontic and endodontic specialists I refer to. It's midway between our offices so it's convenient.

I have never had a bad meal there and their lunch service is quick, usually in and out in about an hour.

It is frequented by little old ladies and also seems to have organized business meetings going on when I'm there. I usually get the fish Louisisana, a nice fillet topped with eggplant with shrimp. This dish is really good.

Last time I had a redfish special topped with crawfish and a beurre blanc and this served with their potatoes and salad was delicious.

Their hush puppies are very good as well.

I bet most posters on this thread haven't eaten here at all.

I will admit, I haven't eaten dinner here since the mid eighties so I can't comment about dinner service. Lunch is actually quite good.

We went there for the Monday night oyster special a while back. I though it was pretty good and the price was right, my wife said it made her sick. There are better places in town and there are worse places in town. And if work is paying for it, get some fried seafood, a few beers and dig in.
