- RDRobert Dunn1 day ago5.0Enjoyed the all you can eat Catfish and Shrimp. One plate Whole Catfish, another plate Catfish Filets. Plus the typical side dishes. (Loved the hush puppies.) Great view of Lake Bob Sandlin looking West. (Near Pittsburgh, Texas.) Price a little high for what we would eat for dinner. Overall, enjoyed the drive and experience.
- MPMelissa P2 days ago5.0This the BEST Catfish Restaurant on the lake! Call before you go so that you know they are open. We drove all the way out there New Years Day only to find them closed, website said they were open!
- KKKoltonDec 7, 20255.0The food was amazing and the restaurant was so clean. Possibly the cleanest restaurant I have eaten at. The fish and shrimp were delicious. I don’t usually eat beans, but the beans were amazing! Hush puppies were spot on! And the fresh cut fries were perfect! I live in Paris, so about an hour away, and I’ve never heard of this place and it’s safe to say, I have totally been missing out. Can’t wait to bring the whole family here next weekend so they can experience this awesome place too!
- KVKerry Vaughan-RoweNov 29, 20251.0No vegetarian entrees. That's unfortunate but fine so I ordered a baked potatoe and salad. They then tried to charge an extra $10 for the "setup fee". If you offer no options for a common dietary restriction, that's no big deal. But trying to charge me $10 more because you don't offer any entrees for vegetarians is pretty ridiculous.
- WSW SwiftNov 15, 20255.0Great food. Plenty of it. The atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming. Our waitress was wonderful and the service was fantastic. Some say the food is overpriced. I find this inaccurate at best. They have food that is of higher quality, the number of free items on the table is pretty good as well. Hush puppies, pickled green tomatoes, coleslaw, beans all are brought to the table for you to enjoy. The price is fair.
