This is a no-frills, down-home place. Tried it based on a local's recommendation. They have GREAT value for the money. And the food is GOOD. If you're in the Cairo area and want seafood, you won't be disappointed.

I love fried catfish. Rock Bottom Seafood is a great place to get it. We've visited the restaurant in Cairo and Thomasville thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Went to a wedding in the area. On the way back to Florida found this seafood spot. Everything here was amazing, waitress helped us pick a couple menu items. We all left happy and full. I recommend it highly.

My family decided to stop here for supper. It looked like a place that locals would frequent, so we gave it a shot. We were sat immediately and greeted by the servers pretty fast. I ordered the grilled shrimp with baked potato and green beans. The green beans came straight out of a can, so I pushed them to the side. The shrimp had a really nice flavor! The service slowed throughout the meal. We had to find our server to ask for the ticket, and waited a bit until she finally brought it. The atmosphere is plain. Just a dining area with seats/tables. Nothing fancy, which is ok by us. Good place to eat for the most part. We would like fresh sides, but the rest was really nice.
