Centerville Fish & Steak — Local services in Mantachie

We decided to try Centerville Fish & Steak tonight for our family meal.

We loved our first visit! From the time we walked in we were greeted warmly, and our waitress met us quickly to take our drinks orders. She was very friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu items. We were given complimentry hush puppies shortly after receiving our drinks. They were good. The food came out very quickly that it shocked us as we were just getting on with our salads.

My husband got the 12oz hamburger steak with spicy fries. He was very well pleased and happy with his choice. The onion/brown gravy was amazing I had to take a few bites myself. The spicy fries were extra crispy texture.

My dad got the Steak & Fish plate with a baked potato. He was also pleased with both items with the way they were cooked. Some places cook the fish so badly its like throwing darts, but his was perfect. Steak was cooked to his request/liking.

I got a 6oz ribeye and it amazed me how large it was for a 6oz! It was 100% well worth the morning. The regular fries are on the cooked/soft side instead of hard/crisp. Cooked with very tasty seasoning that you could eat it without steak sauce if you wanted.

My son got the Mac n Cheese bites app, he didn't care for them but my husband loves them.

The salad bar was very good, and fresh product. the eggs were boiled/peeled by hand which is very nice to see! The ham chunks tasted very good, like actual ham vs processed something.

Overall we are very pleased and willing to make the 50 mile trip...

Centerville fish and steak is a local staple. The place has been there for many years and has a very loyal following. I say this as having lived across from it for several years at one time.

The menu is essentially southern comfort food. Steak, fried catfish, hush puppies, shrimp etc...

The food is usually cooked well enough (to my tastes anyway, yours may vary with how you like your steak) and it's relatively inexpensive (it's still steak though... Keep that in mind.) My only complaint is their fries. They are a home cut type, but the problem is whenever I've gotten them they're always soggy while I prefer crisp.

The atmosphere is nice and it's almost always full of regulars. People and their families that grew up going there. So be prepared if you've never been before, people catch up with one another either by talking across the room or standing next to the tables making it a little...

My family, party of 29, had our Christmas dinner here. Our server was awesome and on point. She definitely was experienced with large parties and prepared.

We arrived and started ordering at 5:30 p.m. I wanted the friend oysters. They were out. I opted for the fried shrimp which was overcooked making it too hard to eat. Their slaw was good but nothing special. The boiled shrimp was cooked so long it shredded while being peeled (not edible). The popcorn shrimp was overcooked, rock hard (not edible). The chicken strips were tender, yum. Their french fries and baked potatoes were cooked perfectly. Everyone who ordered a steak (which of course I tried too) was very pleased with their meal. I can agree that their steaks are amazing. The grill cook nailed his post.

Friendly professional staff. One of the best steaks I have eaten. Everything else was just okay or a major...
