SHAD'S CATFISH HOLE

You might think, from the title, that this post is going to be about someone's special fishing spot.  NOPE!!  Here, in Oklahoma, it's the name of an eating establishment.  People go there from all over the state.  It's that good!
The first time we went there, it seemed like we just drove off into the night (we followed some friends) and that we would never get there.  Finally, after what seemed like hours of driving and crossing rivers, lakes, and creeks, we arrived to see a metal building with an interior-looking red door, over which hung a single light bulb.  It had the feel of a Prohibition-Era Speakeasy and I was sure there was some sort of secret knock that allowed entrance.
Once inside, we were greeted by all things nautical hanging on the walls and a huge aquarium sitting on the concrete floor.  There were wooden boat oars hanging on all the walls with writing on them. Turns out, those were the menus.
For all it's "corniness" the food was excellent!  And, it's All-You-Can-Eat!  I found out, on our second trip there, it's not as far as it originally seemed, there was no need for a "secret knock" or any kind of password to get inside, just great down-home food, with excellent service and prices.  And even if the decor is corny, the place is definitely worth the trip, and we'll be going there again!  Besides, you never know who you'll run into.  The last time we were there, I ran into my cousin,who lives about 2 counties away!
