Can’t beat the fish sandwiches here! It’s piled on high, so you’ll want to share it. Definitely a must try at least once in your life! We’ve been coming here for years & it hasn’t changed. Everyone comes here.

by not eating here, you are suffering a budget net loss — just look at the fish sandwich, easily 2 meals. 15 butterfly fried shrimp for around 10.50, a little more for the dinner — hushpuppies, fries, coleslaw. it is what it it is, choice bellybomb. not for those looking for haute cuisine at «le petit portion »

Great cheese burgers and mushroom Swiss cheese burgers. Onion rings were awesome. Everything was freshly made. Came out nice and hot. Would definitely recommend it. Bathroom is a little iffy. Bring your sanitation hand lotion.

Good food with generous portions.
My concern is place kind of filthy, everyone is covered in flour and sweating bullets.

Lived in the south end of PC next to Bunnell for over 10 yrs. It’s a food shack outdoors with only outdoor picnic tables next to the court house with greasy fried foods and southern hospitality in a low-​income part of town.
If you want extra greasy, all you can eat, frozen fried fish squeezed between two, pathetically fall-​apart buns smothered with so-​called mayo, lard-​laden tartar sauce, then this is your place. Yes, the infamous «fish sandwich» is big as they say, but if you want quantity over quality, then that’s what you’ll definitely get.
Enjoy the flies and the mosquitoes while you wait (or god-​forbid sit and eat there) and enjoy the soggy, fried oily goodness when you order your deep fried bucket of lard to-​go. Ask for extra napkins to sop up the extra, dripping grease or your dignity whichever drops first.

Home of the «Big Fish Sandwich». If you’re having a fish sandwich kick this is the place to come. It can easily feed two, unless you’re dinning with me. :) It’s causal outdoor limited covered seating. You place your order at the window and wait since its cooked to order. FYI-​Burgers are pretty good too. Bang for the buck one of the best deals in town.

I ordered the fish sandwich yesterday afternoon and it kept me full for 24 hours it was so large! Very casual, outdoor seating only, but the picnic tables were in the shade and protected from rain.

Delicious, GIANT fish sandwich – perfect to split with someone. I cut mine in half and still couldn’t finish! The sweet tea is perfect and the fries are very good as well. My kids raved over the BBQ pork sandwich and my husband loved his philly steak. Great little place with outdoor seating, which was perfect since we had our dog with us. Only bad thing was finding a small bug in my drink when I went to ask for a refill. :(It’s possible it got in there somehow after they gave my drink to me, but it’s iffy, so I had to take a star away for that. Still good and I’d still go again.

Just down the street from the courthouse. This is THE place for a fish sandwich.
Forget about everything on the menu and just order the fish sandwich. It’s big, it’s beautiful and very, very tasty.
Order with cheese and extra tartar sauce. Wearing of a bib is optional.

Came here on a day trip through Bunnell and boy were we pleased. When you first pull up it kind of seems run down but I always seem to find them as being the best places to eat. Well I ordered the fish sandwich based on the recommendations and I am so glad I did. The sandwich was huge and amazing! Enough to feed two people for sure! That and a BBQ sandwich and fries and drink was only 18 bucks you simply can’t beat that! I will def be back here for this greatness.

The giant fried fish sandwich here is a thing of beauty and earns this place 5 stars all by itself. Bring a friend and split one, or plan on having leftovers. Not for the fussy.

Yeah, I agree with Edward about the fish sandwich. It was quite huge, lean guy that I am; I ended up splitting it into two meals. But you gotta get a side of something to make that work.
Don’t let the size of the place scare you; sometimes the best food comes from the smallest kitchens:) Ever had food from a taco truck in CA? This is almost like that for southern food.

This place is awesome. The fish sandwich is huge and tasty. Its worth the drive just for the fish sandwich.
You might want to consider taking it home or somewhere to eat, the flies, and the heat can be annoying if you are uptight.
They have an assortment of deep fried stuff and a Philly Cheesesteak, but I didn’t try anything except for the fish, which was recommended to us by some natives.
The best fish sandwich I have ever eaten. Get it cut in half, don’t unwrap it unless you want it to fall apart.
