I’ve been here 6 days straight and that should tell you everything. I come every day for the Catfish Supreme sandwich and it never misses…it’s always fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The food is consistent and the only thing I don’t like is they’re closed on Sundays 😂 but that just shows how much I really love their food can’t wait to try more items on the menu
Rahim’s Seafood felt less like a quick food stop and more like an experience I genuinely enjoyed from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was met with warmth and care, and that tone was set immediately by the owner’s daughter, Barisa. She was phenomenal. Patient, attentive, and genuinely kind, she guided me through the ordering process with ease, answering questions and making recommendations in a way that made me feel valued, not rushed. That level of service is rare, and it made a strong first impression before I even tasted the food.
When the food came out, it more than lived up to that first impression. Everything was fresh, hot, and clearly prepared with intention. The wings were bursting with flavor, seasoned so well that sauce was completely unnecessary. Each bite stood on its own, bold and satisfying. The shrimp were beautifully fried, perfectly crisp on the outside while staying tender and juicy inside, cooked just the way they should be.
But the real standout for me was the catfish sandwich. It was super juicy, generously packed, and incredibly filling. Every bite was rich, flavorful, and comforting, the kind of sandwich that reminds you why catfish, when done right, is hard to beat. Honestly, if I had ordered just that sandwich, it would have been more than enough to leave me satisfied.
If I had one regret, it’s that I didn’t order more. That’s the kind of complaint you want to have after a meal. Rahim’s Seafood delivers on all fronts: exceptional service, fresh and flavorful food, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Between the quality of the food and Barisa’s outstanding hospitality, this is a place I’ll gladly return to and recommend without hesitation.

So I finally tried rahim’s today and got the catfish & wings. The fries & catfish was crispy and had flavor. The wings had good flavor but could have been a little more crispy for my liking. Overall the customer service was a 💯 and the prices where good to. Check them out if you haven’t.
Raheem’s Seafood on Campbellton Road is hands down my favorite spot when I’m craving good fried fish. The fish is always fresh, perfectly seasoned, and fried just right — crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. But what really makes this place special is the experience. The women who serve the food are welcoming, full of personality, and the conversations are just as satisfying as the meal. It feels like more than just grabbing food; it feels like community. Great food, great energy, and a place I’ll keep coming back to.

If you’re truly from Atlanta — especially the Westside — Rahim’s Seafood needs no introduction. This place has been feeding the city since 1972, starting on MLK for 30 years and now holding it down on Campbellton Road for the last 18 years. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident.
Rahim’s was the first Black-owned seafood restaurant in Atlanta to serve fresh fish, and you can tell the legacy is still alive and well. The founder may be gone, but his daughter now runs the restaurant, and the quality, flavor, and heart are still there.
Let’s talk food.
The Rahim wings with the special sauce are a MUST — battered, crispy, and full of flavor. These are real old-school wings, not trendy, just done right.
The whiting sandwich is huge and perfectly fried.
The fried okra is crispy with zero slime.
And the fried fish and shrimp platter? Fresh, hot, seasoned well, and the portion is generous.
The real star for me was the homemade tartar sauce — creamy, tangy, and perfect on both the shrimp and fish. You can tell it’s made in-house and not poured out of a bottle.
Rahim’s isn’t flashy or trying to be something it’s not. It’s consistent, historic, and rooted in the community. This is the kind of place generations grew up on — and that matters.
If you’re visiting Atlanta and want real food with real history, or if you’re local and somehow haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and stop by. Rahim’s Seafood is a Westside staple and a true piece of Atlanta history.
