La mesa estaba sucia, las papas congeladas y solo tienen un tipo de salsa.

diner by day, sports bar at night. Friendly and courteus staff. Was seated immediately for lunch. We were the second group to enter for lunch so it was mostly empty. I had the catfish plate with a side of fries and collard greens. Our food came quickly. The fried catfish was very good, the fries seemed like they were left over from the night before. The collard greens while tasty, were slightly over salted. I recommend this restaurant if you like sports bar quisine and don't mind TVs being a little bit distracting. I would say it's a 50/50 chance that I will go back.

Today was the wing special day so we gave the Buffalo Wings a try. We also tried an appetizer, chicken fingers, and the BBQ sliders. Everything was tasty and the sausage, cheese, and pickle appetizer was fantastic. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Pro tip: they offer a Military Discount which is greatly appreciated!

Classic City Eats is worth a visit for those interested in Southern dishes, sandwiches, and salads. The restaurant itself utilizes an open seating plan inside along with an outdoor picnic area. Service is wonderful, and the food is well seasoned and delicious.

We happened to see Classic City Eats as we were driving, and could not resist giving them a try. They did not disappoint. The hot chicken sliders and burger sliders were both really good. This is definitely one that we will visit again. Shout out to Drew who was amazing and treated us like family.

I had a crazy hankering for some good fried catfish, so I went online to a local group and asked for recommendations. A whole lot of people replied to me with suggestions from all over the area plus some that were not so close by
One of the closest places was the one restaurant that was recommended repeatedly.

Headed out a little past lunchtime today, hopefully to beat or to miss any crowds, I remembered on the way that our local newspaper does not put out a Monday edition so I decided to swing by the library and pick up a Flagpole magazine. I got all the way to the library before realizing that it’s a Federal holiday and the library is closed. Very disappointing. I stopped at a convenient store on the way and picked up on Atlanta paper. I don’t really like the Atlanta paper, they don’t have the puzzles I like, and they don’t have very many comics.

I got to the restaurant and there were only two or three cars in the parking lot. I wasn’t really surprised because it was almost 2 PM when I got there, so I didn’t expect it to be very crowded. The joint has a sports bar vibe and is probably a great place to watch the game.

The server wasted no time getting me seated and gave me a table near the window, with plenty of light so I could read my paper. She was fast talking, fast walking, super friendly, and a great personality. We laughed and laughed.

I looked over the menu just in case but as I said, I already knew that I wanted a catfish plate. It came with the standard coleslaw and fries and hush puppies and that was just fine with me.

They have a nice patio out back with a few games .
One thing that surprised me was the game room they had in the back of the dining room. They had quite a few good games in there. It’s a definite plus for this place.

It didn’t take long to get my food. First, I’ll talk about the catfish they were three pretty good size fillets and they were fat and cooked perfectly. Delicious!
Sadly I didn’t care for the fries. They were an odd color like maybe they were seasoned but they didn’t taste seasoned. They taste like they were cooked in dirty oil. I won’t order those again. The hush puppies were the same. They were small, kind of hard and tasted like they were cooked in dirty grease. I will never order those again either.

The coleslaw I’m kind of on the fence with. I prefer the large, chunkier cut vegetables. This slaw seem like it was almost creamed, the flavor was OK but I didn’t care for the texture. I won’t be ordering the slaw again.
I’m sorry to say I was a little disappointing with my meal at Classic City Eats. I came for catfish and loved loved loved it. The rest of the meal was mediocre at best. I’ll try different sides next time.
I will come here again. They have a lot of stuff on their menu and some of it looks pretty interesting.
I’ve shared some photos of their menus so check it out and see if there’s anything that you would like.

Great catfish! Fried perfect with light batter! Lots of white flakey fish. Wonderful dining room with lots of TV’s. Fish and fries were cooked hot and fresh after order placed. Had to wait a few minutes before it was brought out to table! Lots of other items all cooked to order! The waitress was great!
Wonderful time celebrating Daughters Birthday!
