"Whenever I'm in Prentiss, MS I always frequent the Tacklebox, they have the best catfish around. The whole catfish seems to be smaller than I remember but they are delicious nevertheless."

"Quick bite to eat! The food truck set up is great! Park on the side walk right up and order. Sometimes you get your food really quickly other times we’ve waited 10-15mins for it."

"The Cajun boiled shrimp here is definitely what God is serving in His heaven! I don't know which was more divine, the food or the friendly folks who made it for me! If I could give this place a billion stars, it wouldn't be enough to do this place justice. I hope I someday pass through here again so I can have more of their food and more of their sweet hospitality!"

"The people are super friendly and the food is awesome! Cajun boiled shrimp is the best. They also have some combo plates not listed on the menu, but they are posted in the window. The only disappointment was that they used to do three sides with a meal, now it’s only two. (I’d recommend the baked beans and fried corn, and go get some fries from Ward’s if you need another side!)"
