Opinions de Catfish Parlour Austin
The food was delicious. The servers took good care of me during my meal. The atmosphere was great for a Friday lunch.
Really enjoyed lunch here today. Food came out quick, everything tasted great, and Jonathan provided excellent service. You can tell this place takes pride in taking care of their guests. Always good to support longtime Austin spots like this.
Had crab cakes/fresh boiled shrimp complemented by a fresh cucumber/tomato salad. Perfect portion for lunch. Of course, fresh hushpuppies for an appetizer. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Will go back sooner than later.
We ordered to go, so, we can’t speak on the atmosphere. We had chicken fried chicken breast and chicken tenders. They were both excellent, tender, moist, seasoned perfectly and the coating was light. The servings were very generous. Corn fritters were delicious, you can’t go wrong ordering this light and fluffy appetizer. .
Had dinner at Catfish Parlour South and it was a real treat. I went for the Fried Catfish Dinner (three crispy fillets) and their Parlour Platter (catfish + shrimp + oysters) — everything came out hot, seasoned nicely, and with hush puppies, coleslaw, and pinto beans that held their own. Their fried pickles and Cajun gumbo starters were also solid. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with staff who were attentive without hovering. What stood out was the portion size — you definitely get your money’s worth — and the desserts (I tried peach cobbler) rounded things off perfectly. Definitely going back when I'm craving down-home seafood.
October 2025: Senorita Carmen was our waitress. She took care of our group as if she was our mother. I had the blackened Catfish with, Spicy corn rice pilaf, Southern Pinto Beans, and a small seafood gumbo. I poured jalapeño juice and squeezed lemon on top of my catfish. Which took the meal to the next tier. The hush puppies were delicious. I combined the jalapeño dipping sauce and the tartar sauce. For an amazing hush puppies dip.
Haven't been to the Catfish Parlour in a long time. The atmosphere is cozy with classic music (50s) playing in the background, old photos from the good ole days, and pleasant staff The blackened red fish with crab and crawfish was cooked perfectly. The catfish plate was great too. Our server was humorous, professional, cool Looking forward to coming back! ❤️
So I ordered through Uber eats. I did a pick up order and there was a promo for buy one get one free on the all American plate combo which was amazing. I got four plates for 33 bucks. The food was delicious. I got two spicy catfish plates w popcorn shrimp and 3 sides and two original plates. The catfish was really good. As was the popcorn shrimp. Cooked perfectly. Our sides were hush puppies, fries, green beans and bacon, Black Eyed Peas and coleslaw. The coleslaw had a different taste more of a vinegar salad, but that was also Good and their sauces are incredible. The atmosphere was very family and friendly very welcoming. Maybe next time we eat there we’ll dine in and the staff were awesome. Very friendly and welcoming.
Amazing catfish! Probably the best catfish I ever had!! No heavy batter, just perfect. \nGreat service from the staff.

I've been coming here since I was a child. The food has never changed. Crispy, delicious catfish cooked right every time. Sides that are never an after thought. They even have non-breaded options…

I couldn't ask for better service and fish. This place was wonderful, and I enjoyed the free hush puppies with the tasty jalapeño tartar sauce. They use oil free of trans fat as well. Thanks guys!
Delicious crawfish friendly service and good atmosphere. I've been here many many times and the seafood is always fresh and yummy!

Food was natural and tasty. Great catfish, shrimp and chicken. French fries and hush puppies were very tasty. Slaw had great texture and taste. Service was top notch.
Good service, kind owner. Super cute, homey-woodsy feel inside. Lots of cute decor. Food was cooked well! Yummy hushpuppies. live music sometimes too!
Home style atmosphere. Prices are reasonable. Food and service are excellent. Definitely lives up to their name. Good drinks and desserts. Family oriented.

Great visit I didn’t like the old smelling odor but the Chardonnay made me sick like I puked up everything I ate! I missed the live music but I am sure it was good! The atmosphere was nice I didn’t see the tv they are super small due to the high booths. The restrooms needs to be monitored they are filthy and smell weird. The mashed potatoes aren’t seasoned it was just bland. The chicken fried chicken had a spice to it that black pepper was heavy yet the chicken was fried to perfection. The catfish was super dark but tasty. The hush puppies complimentary were good but that green sauce wooowe super spicy I couldn’t not handle that spice. The jumbo shrimps and fried tried oysters stole the show. Delicious dare I say. Being my first busy the food came out hot and freshly cooked. The sides were probably microwaved but I loved the steamed cabbage and bacon. I definitely will recommend catfish Parlour it was a great find on a weekend trip.
You get hushpuppies brought to the table with two different sauces when you first sit down. This time I had the chicken fried steak. It was very good. Started eating it before I got a picture. Last time I went I had the catfish. I much prefer their chicken fry. My sides were tasty pinto beans and mashed potatoes with really good sweet tea.
Visited during lunch on a Wednesday with a party of three. Our server, Riley, was super attentive and friendly. As always, the hush puppies and tarter sauce were on point. I ordered the Lite Catfish plate with fries and pinto beans. The catfish was crisp. The fries are coated, and while they were nicely cooked, I am not a fan, personally. The pinto beans were good. I also ordered fried oysters. They were unremarkable, and atad on the small side. I ordered the bread pudding for dessert. It is not overly sweet, and very light. My companion ordered the blackberry cobbler and liked it very much. Before tip, the bill was $92, so a bit pricey.

The food was good, lots of flavor and reasonable pricing. The catfish was great! The place itself is a vintage time-capsule. Very quaint dinner vibes! The service is where they are lacking. My server had a nonchalant attitude with almost a rush attitude. Not hospitable at all.
The food we received was top notch. Very good chicken fried steak. Others at table were also pleased with flavor. Now that being said. The waitress got all the drinks and orders wrong. Told us we ordered wrong. Had to repeatedly ask for items. (Lemon for tea) (ranch for salad) I watched other tables get up and approch her for service.She got everyone in her section frustrated. The atmosphere and food were very good.
Came here for lunch with a co-worker. I've always wanted to check this place out. The menu they have is incredibly confusing. Chef Ramsey would have a heart attack. The server was very demanding on what we wanted to order. I was seriously confused by that menu and everything says dinner. I finally just said country fried steak hoping they had it. They did. Our waitress was attentive took our orders and brought us hush puppies. They were actually pretty good. Never tried them before. No lie the country fried steak had a good presentation but it was crap. So chewy couldn't even swallow it. Terrible. Overall a real gross experience. Some place out of the 80's. Lol, doubt I'll ever return there.
This review will speak for those from Louisiana/Mississippi. My fiancé and I are from the hearts of seafood so we walked in with high expectations, naturally. We tried the crawfish because why not, let’s see what’s up! It was so boring. The crawfish are boiled in water that is NOT seasoned. Only the outside of the crawfish were seasoned. While the outside of the crawfish was flavorful, I shouldn’t have to put the whole crawfish in my mouth for some flavor. To add, it was $12 a pound! The catfish was good! Wasn’t the best but definitely normal flavoring for fried catfish! My fiance says his side of fried okra was one of the best he’s ever had. My mashed potatoes and gravy and Mac and cheese lacked flavor. The portion sizes for sides are literally an ice cream scooper size. This place was really busy, and we couldn’t and still don’t see why.
I haven't been here in quiet awhile. I used to be here every week during work. It has really go downhill bad. The hushpuppies are now tasteless dry cornbread fingers that definitely need a sauce. The coconut shrimp was overcooked to the point of being solid. The coleslaw and fried catfish had zero flavor. The mashed potatoes were instant from a bag.. I paid $44 for a meal that had less flavor than long John Silvers. If you've never had good seafood, it's understandable that this is acceptable. I couldn't eat it so we left very hungry. Such a disappointment compared to before. The catfish parlor in Georgetown still has the all you can eat catfish, wondering why this owner chose to stop that and lower the quality 10/9/25
Ordered though uber eats because they were having a buy one get one free deal. Once I received the food I opened it to find I only had sides for one plate of food... I also got the jalapeño tartar sa…

INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED!!!!! I have ordered from her before and had some amazing food! Specifically the friend pickes. Today I made a huge mistake and ordered Fried Pickles and Popcorn Shrimp. First of all the pickles were completely raw and were not even in a box but dumped in a brown bag which had tears in it And oil spots. The popcorn shrimp was raw also and even had the white batter/.flour on many of the shrimp. The order was literally smashed in two bags and thrown into another. Complete waste of $30 and Uber sucks so we won’t get a refund more than likely.
