Awesome food, kind of pricey, but food quality and quantity was worth it. Will probably call and order ahead of time the next time we go there, had to wait a little while, but food was very fresh and very good. They do have inside dining and a stand up eating area outside under shelter if you prefer. Will definitely be going back to get some fresh fish and seafood.

Roosevelt burger (veggie) tasted amazing, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if someone gave me this and told me it was a beef burger. It is so flavorful, very tender, very juicy, overall I am satisfied. It had mixed bell peppers and tomatoes & mozzarella cheese on the veggie burger itself. Definitely would try it again 10/10. I have had the alligator bites, the fried catfish sandwhich, and just plain fried catfish, fried whiting, so far everything is great. The only downside is when I call to place the order I usually get a very rude person taking my order. Just wish they had a little more courteous to their customers. Other than that it’s always really good food.

We thought the servings were very generous I had to meals out of my catfish (pictured) and they were prepared like I cook them at home. My wife’s grouper was on the strong side as if it could have been a little fresher. The young woman doing everything but the cooking was over whelmed but she kept everyone happy and everything under control while retaining a jovial demeanor the entire time. It was our first time there, it certainly will not be our last time there however. We have heard over and over how expensive it is; we found it very reasonable in the area of value for dollar spent. Great place, great food, real old south fish house vibe you just don’t find anymore. That means making do with ceiling fans in the dining area like when I was growing up. Nostalgia by the bucket full. You order in the market and they bring it out to you in the eating area. It is the kind of place you would not be really surprised to run into Jimmy Buffet. Well, that is if he wasn’t dead.

Hadn’t eat at AFC since I moved out of Albany 3 years ago, but the food was always good to me. While visiting I decided to order DD. My shrimp po boy was missing all the toppings, the bread was so hard it cut the roof of my mouth. My side order of grits tasted like they dumped half the container of salt in it. My friend order a veggie burger and it tasted burnt all throughout. I was utterly disappointed.
