Deep South

Lisa has been in the pizza mood but wanting something different and that sounded like a plan so yesterday we went to Deep South in Mcleansboro.  I've been wanting to try it out for quite some time but to try the catfish instead of pizza.  We got on the road and I made a wrong turn in Benton and we went a little out of our way but we finally made it there.  Nothing like I expect and McLeansboro isn't as big as I thought, population of 3000.  It gives the impression that it is a bbq place but we didn't see anyone order any kind of bbq.  Several fish plates and they looked good.
The had jalapeno poppers and Lisa ordered some for her and Debbie.  I tried a bite but not really my thing especially with cream cheese in them.  Me and Lisa split a pepperoni and mushroom pizza while Mike got a burger with hushpuppies and Debbie got a fried chicken sandwich with fries.
Our pizza was great and exactly what I was looking for, something a little different and the crust was hand made.  Mike said his burger was good but it didn't look like anything special to me.  He wasn't wild about the hushpuppies, they had corn and he didn't like that.   Debbie like her sandwich and both of them really liked the fries.
Nice place with very nice people.  Too bad it's so far away.
On the way back we stopped in Pheasant Hollow for a drink, mainly to show it to Mike and Debbie.  Not much happening there.
We also stopped at Aces & Eights once again to show it to Mike and Debbie,.
A nice trip to an area we don't go to very often.
