    I am from Atlanta, and we have an old-timey fried catfish and hushpuppies fish camp about an hour outside of Atlanta. Eat-all-you-want. The server brings a bowl of hushpuppies to each table. They have fantastic fried okra, too. This place is also known for its barbeque. Super super super good fish camp !

    Friday's Forever ... I've been by PawPaw's many times as I have driven through Wears Valley, but never have stopped to eat. Guess there's a first time for everything! I will be eating there in October! The little "hole in the wall" restaurants are often overlooked but serve the best food. Mike ... like you, I DO NOT want anything in my hush puppies; just a normal, plain hush puppy. Thank you Mike & Karen for the video!

    i just ate there wednesday the 5th of july and it was fantastic. the place was pretty busy as it was lunch time but we did not have to wait long. food was very hot, freshly cooked, no heat lamps here!! the staff was very friendly. i have to say, i disagree about putting corn in the hush puppies. those were some of the best hushpuppies i ever had, the only complaint i have is there were only two of them!! i had the catfish basket and ended up taking half of it back to the hotel and eating it later. it was a really good meal.
