  Service is hit are miss.
  Price is about what you would expect for a seafood place.
  All you can eat boiled shrimp is descent.

  This was our first time at this location (Saturday, 8/17/19). We went in around 9:00, and while most of the restaurant was empty, they of course seated us at a lone booth right by the kitchen door and Waiter hub. Fine. While the restaurant was empty, it was chaotic with a lot of young wait staff. Some were just standing in the hub and some were running around with sour looks on their faces. I heard someone saying the F-word loudly. I look up and it's a blonde waitress saying it to a young waiter, "Was he F-word happy?" And this conversation goes on, until she storms off. Then a dark-haired waitress starts yelling at the other waitress about something or other and comes over and gives us water and buttered bread (I swear we got garlic bread at the Covington location?). She took our order and disappears...no one says a word to us for 30 minutes. No one asked if we wanted to order drinks and I sat there with butter on my hands because we had no napkins or utensils. I asked my husband to go grab utensils off the plethora of empty tables around us with utensils and a waiter who was just standing there sees us and asks us what we need. He says, ok, hang on, I'll get them for you and he just stands there. We are literally being passed with waitresses full of trays of utensils packs but he can't find them. He finally brings them over (and still no food, no drinks). The waitress whizzes by and says our food should be out in a couple minutes. Not so. However I do get watch the soap opera of Don's Wait staff as they yell at each other, hug each other, and act in the most unprofessional manner. My husband was annoyed and hungry so I was glad his back was to the "Young and the Useless" show behind him. There was also some drama at the bar with an older gentleman and a very young woman, so while I was hungry, I was highly entertained by the poop-show going on.
  We finally get our food and my husband finally gets to order his beer. We half-way through our meals and still no beer. No crowd at the bar which I can clearly see from my kitchen table. As we're finishing our food the waitress yells at another waitress, rubs to the bar, brings over a tiny beer and tells my husband she's sorry, she'll cover it. It's unfortunate because I'm a big believer in tipping wait staff a minimum of 20% and more if the service was really great. My husband was mad and it was reflected in the tip. I overheard one of the waiters complaining they weren't making money tonight. Hmmm, yeah, I should've took video so they could see why.
  Don's Hammond - Hire an adult manager to supervise. Teach your staff to be more professional and less emotional. Make it rule not to drop the F-bomb where customers can hear you.

  Mediocre, overpriced food. You can do better.
  
  Service is always good though. Leonard was excellent.

  The place is a chain restaurant based in the South. Solid seafood but nothing outstanding. I ate dinner at the bar and service was as expected. I will give kudos to s unique old fashion and a decent bourbon selection,

  The stuffed catfish was okay but it was tepid. I ordered to go so the food was not as hot as it should've been.  I have to come back for a second chance.
