Another tasty option is the Southern Surf & Turf, which features cornmeal-breaded Mississippi farm-raised catfish, served with a helping of buttermilk-breaded, lightly fried shrimp, and O’Charley’s Famous Chicken Tenders. The new menu also includes tasty sides such as Steakhouse Smashed Potatoes, Loaded Mac & Cheese, and a Fresh Rice Medley. The new Hook, Line & Southern menu is available for a limited time.
