Great wings and fries (did Texas style wings which is a dry rub). Came with a generous portion of ranch. Looking forward to trying their other dishes.

First Time Visit and definitely not my last, as always skeptical when eating at an establishment for the first time. Spice of Life did not disappoint with their meal. Management was very friendly and accommodating in their welcome and explaining their menu and food process. We ordered the fish and shrimp combo, two whole filets and seven jumbo shrimp with fries and coleslaw $25. Definitely worth the price, as the filets(good in length) were very soft and flaky throughout with the best batter I've ever tasted and the same can be said for the shrimp. Definitely a home style type batter that sets the meal off with the right crust, spices,and flavor. Have eaten plenty of catfish for years and Spice of Life ranks at the top. Worth trying if you are a lover of catfish, give Spice of Life a visit you will not be disappointed.
