I had to make a fast day trip to Florida from Anniston AL. I knew I wanted some fresh seafood. I decided to stop at a gas station and ask a local where to go. They directed me to Kurdi and boy am I glad. I got fried shrimp and corn nuggets to eat right then and I got the steamed to bring home. This food is so good. The seasoning is amazing. The food is so fresh and delicious. I've been to Florida so many times and I have never had seafood this good. The serve was great too. The employees were wonderful. I wish I could give 100 stars.

The fish is very fresh. They explain about the choices and when each fish came in. They also cooked my Crawfish and l really appreciated that. I am so pleased to have them in Lake City.

I had never heard of it before, but was looking on Google to see if there was any place in Lake City where I could buy fried chicken gizzards. I saw reviews saying Kurdi's offered both Fried Chicken Gizzards and Fried Chicken Wings. I stopped by to check it out, (as I was already nearby at the Post Office). When I inquired at the counter, I was informed that "Yes" they did offer Fried Chicken Gizzards. I was very pleased to hear that, as the only other place I know of is in Alachua at Hitchcock's Supermarket, and that's over 30 miles away. Thank you, Kurdi's! I placed my order, and they were made fresh while I waited.!

Those WHOLE chicken wings are everything. This place had the best wings and seafood platters. I could not believe this little gem was hidden from me. I recommend them 9 out of 10 & That's only because I want them to have more side options. But the fried wings are the bomb and the snowcrabs, etc is perfectly seasoned. Great customer service too. The two young men and the one young lady that I have met at the register, was by far so nice and well mannered. Thank you all. This has been a great visit to Lake City, FL from Wiggins, MS!!!
