Nothing special about the setting of the place. Your local spot. I bought the 6 fried fish, fries, and hush puppies. The fish was super bland. No flavor at all. It was crispy. The hush puppies were okay. The fries were super bland. The corn nuggets and onion rings are just like everything else…fried and bland. The service was okay as I asked the cashier “are they full filets?” And she told me yes. They were cut in half and counted as 1. She was super sweet. But WHERES THE FLAVOR?!?! I would search for the next spot.

Best part of our night here was Kevin. He took our order and although was kind of quiet, he was so genuine. The way he answered all our questions, and interacted with us, made us want to go back. My son, who is a fisherman extraordinaire, could not stop talking about the soft shell crabs. He is so picky he almost didn't order them but was nicely surprised at how well they were cleaned, how fresh they were, and how well they were cooked. We enjoyed the corn nuggets. They seemed to be made fresh there, not frozen. The catfish fillets were small but cooked perfectly. The fried fillets were cooked perfectly. I thought they could use more seasoning but my husband liked them. The grilled shrimp were also cooked perfectly. Someone know how long to cook things at this restaurant. Shrimp are usually over cooked. Nice surprise. I do agree with most reviewers that everything needs more seasoning but my family usually likes it this way, with less seasoning. Will have to go back and visit Kevin again with his chill, welcoming, but great service attitude. He may be the best part. :-)

I got the shrimp po’boy and my boyfriend got the fried catfish. It was overall decent. I thought the hush puppies tasted a little different .the fried pickles were also decent. I think next time I would try something different in the menu

The young man behind the counter was really nice, but the catfish was ok. I was expecting the catfish in the tacos to be fried, but it was grilled. Did like that it was pretty quite that night I came in.

I had a craving for fish and decided to check out catfish house since it is local to us. We’ve passed by the place for two years since living in the area and I’m so glad we stopped by. The food did not disappoint. My husband and I enjoyed our meals. We each ordered a catfish and shrimp basket with salad and coleslaw. The food was fresh to order and delicious. I took my banana pudding to go and enjoyed it at home. Customer service was great. We will definitely be back.

First time here and my last time! Food: I ordered 2 2pc catfish with fries and rice. All of it was bland and tasteless no seasoning at all I was so mad I paid 30 dollars for nasty food and the hush puppies was over cooked or fried on old oil which gave it a weird taste and texture. The customer service was good and the atmosphere was decent!
