We love this place!! Best burger in Bastrop as far as we are concerned. The shrimp poboy is amazing even though they have recently changed the bread and it’s not great. Seems like more of a hot dog bun than a hoagie roll.
Yes, we were told by friends that was great food. They were right 💯 % right. I have told the friends we that travel through Bastrop they will try it. Paw Paw keep up the good work. We will being stopping by there again. 👍👍👍👍

This place is a must have. First the food is amazing! It’s so delicious! We had the shrimp basket and the combo plate. I’d like to thank the cooks Nathan and Steven 💓also Addi 💕 great job! I’m sure we were one of the last people served tonight but we felt like we were the Only ones there. We arrived about 7:30 pm which is 30 minutes before they close. Micheal our server was more than happy to serve us and treat us with the greatest of care! Thank you to Nikki for your courtesy and kindness💗🤝 Even though it was late you all had smiles on your faces and that made us feel very welcomed! You guys are the best crew I have encountered. Keep up the good work and put bastrop on the map!
10 paw 🐾 paws 🐾 up ! (I’m not sure but I think paw paw means grandpa) 10 stars and a million thanks🥰

Some of the absolute best catfish and shrimp I’ve ever had. Everything is very freshly cooked to order and hand battered. Homemade cocktail, tartar sauce and coleslaw. Hands down some of the best food I’ve had at a restaurant in a while, along with the amazing service it’s definitely a must stop if you’re in bastrop looking for some good ole food at a very reasonable price for homemade.

I work in downtown Bastrop 3 days a week. Paw Paws Catfish House is a real treat. Usually I get a "to go" order, and over the past several years, I've only been unhappy once - and I can't even count that because they replaced our entire order. The fish and shrimp are fresh, their sides are good, and their hand cut house potato chips are not to be missed. In addition, you can order almost everything however you like it: fried, blackened, or broiled. No matter, though, because it's all good. Service is attentive, and when they're busy, it can get a little noisy, but that just shows you how much folks like to eat there.
