Holt Lake B Que Seafood - Smithfield

The fried sea trout was delicious, but the vegetables were overcooked and mushy, resembling baby food. It's recommended to ask for any additional items you may need at the start of your meal, as your server may not return promptly.

The only positive aspect was the excellent service. The sea scallops were cut into small thirds, which was disappointing. Additionally, the fries were undercooked and the rest of the food was unremarkable. I would not recommend wasting your money here.

The restaurant is known for its delicious fried food, with a vibe reminiscent of a fish camp. However, I observed a worker bussing tables and cleaning, then proceeding to roll silverware without washing his hands in between. Despite bringing this issue to the attention of management, they did not respond with any concern.

Good home style cooking and great people there, the waitresses and the customers. If only they had Chow Chow for the black eye peas.... Lol!

Service is great. Seafood now days is expensive anywhere you go. I don't mind paying as long as it good. I got a whole flounder plate it had to be fryed for at least 30 minutes. Way way over cooked. I try to do business with local folks. That is unacceptable.
