If you think the roundabout at
Exit 46 is one of the wildest things
to happen in Woolmarket lately, buckle up. There’s a new restaurant
in town that will have your head spinning faster than trying to get
off the interstate during rush hour. Flatheads and Bottom Feeders, located just off Woolmarket Road, is quickly becoming a premier destination for food and fun.
Owner Jerry Saucier wanted a place where he could enjoy delicious food with his family or listen to a good band in a fun environment. So, like any other determined entrepreneur, Saucier decided to create just the place himself.
Flatheads and Bottom Feeders was built from the ground up with its future customers in mind. The front of the building is a restaurant with
an authentic coastal vibe, perfect
for a casual lunch with friends or a quick family dinner. The back of the establishment features a beautifully designed bar with beer on tap, specialty cocktails, and live local music. This “business in the front, party in the back” atmosphere is anything but basic. Flatheads and Bottom Feeders focuses on one dish: catfish – and they’ve mastered the art.
Saucier knew they couldn’t serve
just any catfish. It had to be the best. Delta Pride provides fresh, never- frozen catfish filets, which Saucier lightly dusts with a 30-year-old secret recipe. Each filet is custom-cut to ensure the freshest flavor, and from the first bite, you can taste the difference. The Catfish Plate is best enjoyed
with Sidewinder Fries and Flatheads’ house-made hushpuppies. Topped
