The restaurant celebrated in October its five-year anniversary since opening a brick-and-mortar location in Pflugerville.

The gist

The eatery, owned by Kenneth Rector Jr., specializes in hushpuppies, which can be filled with macaroni and cheese, shrimp, jalapenos and bacon, and brisket on Wednesdays. The menu also includes catfish, shrimp, sandwiches and rotating specials.

One popular special is Rec’s Seafood Lover—a dish of rice with cajun sauce, pico de gallo, crawfish, grilled shrimp and blackened catfish.
