Best catfish and southern comfort foods
We had dinner at Hagy's for my 65th birthday. This was not our first visit nor will it be our last. The food and atmosphere is absolutely delightful. I had the seafood combo platter with clam strips and fried frog legs with a blue cheese tossed salad. If you've never had frog legs you should try them. They're delicious and they taste kind of like chicken. The batter dipped onion rings and hush puppies were the best I've had. Special mention to the brewed sweet tea with free refills. Wife got fried catfish and steamed veggies with a side of their signature cole slaw. Their cole slaw is slightly sweet and very good and I'm not a big cole slaw fan as a rule. Son had a catfish sandwich with fries and my in-laws had catfish and a sweet potato. We had no room for desert and brought home leftovers to enjoy the next day. I don't think they allow you to leave hungry. This place is way out of the way nestled in the Shiloh battlefield down a long lonely access road next to the Tennessee river. It's living proof that, if you build it, they will come. Prices are reasonable too for a restaurant of this caliber. Service was also attentive, fast and friendly. Come give it a try when you're in south western Tennessee. They do get very busy sometimes so be prepared to wait.
Suggestion: The clam strips were great but nothing beats hand shucked, whole belly fried clams. Maybe it's not a southern thing. I'm from Connecticut. Also, fried okra would make a nice addition. My wife loves okra!
