- KPKevin PalmerNov 13, 20255.0Good catfish, fries, coleslaw and some kind of pickled green tomatoes (didn't hate them, still trying to figure out if I like them). Fried green tomatoes were good.
- BBbadbam1000Nov 10, 20255.0Really good catfish, both whole and fillet. Side items such as cole slaw, tomato relish, hush puppies, and french fries are really good. Service is excellent.
- JPJay PayneNov 8, 20255.0The family catfish dinner to go is my go to,fries Xtra crispy for the long ride home...And it's Real Catfish, not Pangus, like everyone is serving these days Yukkkk
- EBEvelyn Marshall BlakeOct 26, 20253.0This was a pickup order. Line was long and slow. The food was ok but the catfish is not the catfish that we are use to eating in Louisiana. The fish seemed more like swai that catfish, it did not have the texture of real catfish. Just my opinion. Portion sizes were very good compared to another local seafood restaurant we visit. The value for the money is ok. Would have been a better value if it were real catfish.
- MJMoiya Johnson (JOY!!)Oct 20, 20251.0We got a family dinner of catfish filet and realized this isn't real catfish this Swai. Its to big thick and long to be real catfish and it even tastes different. When you go to a place with the name catfish in it you expect real catfish. We even called to ask and was lied to like we're not supposed to know any better. On top of that our carryout container were burned and melted together and our fried and hush puppies are a soggy mess. I really wanted to like this place. Called to get a refund and they flat out refuse.
