The abundant hush puppies were perfect, Joans fried shrimp tasted exactly as it should in the Carolinas, lightly seasoned with a very thin breading just enough to enhance the favor. Joan normally didn&#8217;t choose fried, but she enjoyed this shrimp. My catfish was cornmeal breaded and lightly seasoned and prepared to perfection.<\/p>\n<p>The very best part was the sample portion of pulled pork. It melted in our mouths, poured out flavor and enough spice to enhance the taste without overwhelming Joan. We took home a 1\/2 pound portion for another meal.<\/p>\n<p>Roy&#8217;s is not far off I-95 and has enough parking that I&#8217;m sure Roy will let us stay overnight next time we visit.<\/p>\n<div
