Petty's Steak and Catfish-Lindale, TX

 Due to the Covid 19 (Corona with no Lyme) I have been trapped in the big city with intellectual types and other citified type folk. I have become concerned that my level of redneckism has diminished in the last year. It was time to do something about this dire emergency. So the wifey and myself loaded up and took off for the woods of East Texas to associate with well healed rednecks. You know the types, their cows are called Oreo's and they give chocolate milk. Can't get any better than that. The more time you spend up and down Hwy 80 to the east, the better off you will be.

As you know eating is a major past-time of mine. So twice a day we are forced to enter the world of citified people to grab some grub. In looking for a place, I discovered that Petty's has opened a feed alot in Lindale. Back when it was in Hawkins we would swing by in the afternoon for PIE. I don't remember ever eating any pre-dessert food, but boy do I remember the PIE. So I grabbed up the wifey and came out of the woods and headed for Lindale. 

If you haven't figured it out yet, the wifey and me are true fishermen. We eat fish everywhere we can. So you guessed it, we ordered fired catfish for dinner. This meal came with two filets of fish, loaded potato, salad, rolls and hush puppies. 

The fish is probably the second best we have had and we have been in all of the fish joints in East Texas. Go ahead and name'em, I have been there. The best is Doe Belly's in Forney bar none, but this is very close. I especially like the breading on the fish. It was not spicy like Doe Belly's but it was very very good. The salad was a very good salad, better than most. You wouldn't believe the baked potato. They gave us more fixin's than could possibly fit inside the potato. So needless to say, it was nicely doctored when I was done. Yum, Yum. The rolls were good but not outstanding and the hush puppies were a little lacking, but with all of the food I had in front of me, something wasn't gonna get ete anyway. Especially because pie was coming. 

Did I mention PIE. These folks do pie. I opted for the Chocolate pie. I mean really tasty chocolate, great crust and meringue. Yummy, Yummy.

This meal was so good that two nights later we went back for a second helpin'. It took two days to be hungry again.
