Opinions de Catfish King Dallas
Love there catfish dinner I get the medium . Hush puppies n beans are awesome.. usually get it to go and have at home . Good place to dine in as well.
The fish was good and as expected. Not overly seasoned. Wish we has skipped the chicken strips though. They were hard and over cooked. But overall it was a nice Family lunch for a reasonable price.
Good and properly cooked fish and onion rings. Quiet , wood paneled dining area. Polite staff, mostly from University Highschool. Menu is about all catfish with sides. Prices are about the same as McDonald's, but much better food.
I ordered 5 pc catfish I received 5 slivers of fish. The food was good but the tiny portions really got me. $10.99, $11.99 for that I don’t think so. I won’t be back.
When we go to Waco we make it a point to eat at Catfish King. It is the best. It could not have a more fitting name. Every time we go there we order catfish. Just catfish, you can get different amounts depending on the number of people in your group. Along with our order of catfish, we get an order of onion rings. One order is easily enough for two people and the absolute best in both taste and texture. Enough cannot be said about the quality of the onion rings, when you taste them you will understand. As far as the rest of the menu... Well, I just don't know. So far, we haven't been able to get beyond the catfish and the onion rings to explore any further into the other items offered on the menu. May I suggest that you just go and see for yourself.
Just had the catfish and shrimp combo. Without a doubt the best catfish I've had in a very long time. Breading on both the catfish and the shrimp was light and flavorful! For the price, you receive slot of food! Will definitely be a return customer.
If you craved cat-like as I do, there is not a finer friend than Catfish King. Proportions are good. Fish is amazing. Service is fast. clean, quiet old Restaurant ommbiance.
Ive been eating here for twelve years sporadically visited or had someone get my order. Consistently hot fresh delicious and prompt. I never disliked any service or food. Dont understand the negative reviews because personally ive only had good ones. Yesterday being most recent. Great as always.
Friendly, quick service, clean restaurant, excellent food. Catfish lightly coated in cornmeal, tasty beans and Cole slaw, crispy fries. I could not ask for anything to be better. We will be back.
Went here on the way back from visiting family. This place has the juiciest catfish I’ve ever had! Shrimp, fries & oysters were on point as well! The staff was very polite & professional, we will definitely be coming back!!
Another visit another satisfying experience good service in the drive thru, still affordable and the new hush puppies are fantastic.
Always a great time for fish and chicken .
Nice big salad. Fish was a little smaller, should of been bigger. 1 of my hash browns were hard. But overall good food. & I love fresh food. I would of waited on them to cook it since I was dining in. But they were quick.
Catfish King reminds me of the small fish eateries found along Houston and Galveston. Nothing fancy about the decor but great tasting food. Catfish, chicken tenders and even country chicken fried steak. We enjoy meeting up here with friends. Every player is full of plenty of food. You won't leave here hungry.
Always get the catfish and shrimp combination dinner. At least for me this is a comfort meal. Its not the best food in the world, but certainly not bad. It just makes me feel better every time I eat it. Getting fries, hush puppies, tomato relish, and pinto beans is such a deal.
This place is a regular for us. Food is always tasty and fresh. Service is top notch. Timeliness in food prep is perfect! They are veteran, senior citizen, and public servant friendly. Kitchen staff routinely leaves the kitchen to honor and thank their patrons. Every employee is always observed working hard to provide an exceptional service to every person expecting to get what they pay for. This establishment has also been known to support their community. Be it through discounts or donations, they support! Friendly atmosphere with regulars that appreciate their hospitality!
I have not been to a catfish king in many years because of a couple of bad locations in north Texas. I was VERY satisfied on a recent visit to the Valley Mills location. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. The employee friendly and helpful. I have been back twice since then. A+
Greatest cat fish I've had in a while.
We ordered a Special Catch and a Chicken Fried Steak dinner at the drive thru. The female person who waited on us was very polite and professional. This trait in employees has been lacking in the fast food industry for such a long time, it is a pleasant surprise when it does happen anywhere - so kudos to her again for her excellent service. The food was delicious; hot and fresh. Thank you Catfish King. 💯
I loved the catfish. Exactly how excellent catfish should taste. And they don't trick you, serving you that knock off Asian catfish like most "catfish" eateries have gone to using. Loved the fish, loved the onion rings. Did not like the cold slaw but I really only like my homemade anyway.
We love Catfish King and enjoy eating there when traveling through Waco. We wish there was one in our city. Has senior special.
I’ve only been thru the drive-thru here in Waco bc I’ve dined-in many CK restaurants when I lived in Tyler, Texas. I’ve always been so impressed with the standards of Catfish king, from their “Oh! So clean!” restaurants to their fabulous fried catfish recipe! It also is worth noting that using peanut oil for frying is much healthier than shortening!
Always wonderful food with great people who go out of their way to have a great time. We go here every time we can. We get the Senior plate and it is more than enough.
I ordered the popcorn shrimp with beans and hush puppies. My food was heaping over the plate. Best of all, everything was piping hot! The restaurant itself was busy, but it is so quiet, any little noise makes everyone stop and look around. Just play a little music and the excellent food, great price and portions will set it all off. Great job, I will definitely be back.
Food was good and so was the service, the catfish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Sides were not bad but we would have preferred different options
What drew us in was the giant crown. We were then greeted by the cutest cabin style atmosphere, a giant fish, and the friendliest/best customer service (even though we got there an hour before close). Our food was hot, fresh, and pretty tasty. Obviously, we had to try the catfish. I cannot describe the taste of the mix of the kicking Cajun spice mixed with the hot sauce, but if it was my first day on Earth, I would be very happy. 🌎 Come try for yourself! 🐟
It had been ages since we were here, and we were NOT disappointed on this visit. The food was so good, just as we remembered, and the place was very clean and neat. And the service was great. I had read some negative reviews, so wanted to write and give a 'deserving' positive review. We will definitely be back SOON. Thank you, Catfish King, for still serving great fish dinners.
Catfish king is a good choice if you prefer catfish over swai. The cashier was a bit weird and said nothing 😳 as I stood at the counter waiting to order. He could have at least said " Can I help you?". He said Norhing at all.
Catfish, yumm! The usual delicious fried catfish. We went after Church, as well as MANY others. It was crowded and noisy and oh so tasty! Everyone was courteous and smiling. It was all about the food! Did I mention it was superb! We had onion rings for the first time and they are the best we have had in Waco, hands down! Thank you, Catfish King!
Everything was great, especially the 🫘beans, so good! The young man working the register was very polite & cleaning the whole time we were there. (He needs a raise) We will be back again soon. Update: 💚 My favorite place for a Chicken Fried Steak & baked potato 🥔 😋 & friendly service from Everett.
Love this place. Fish is best in Waco and love the aesthetic. A catfish place should look like this does and it’s always clean. Prefer the crescent hush puppies to logs—logs are bitter and bland but crescent are sweet like they should be. Fries aren’t food and no one in my family ever eats theirs but love the fish ❤️
For my money Catfish King has it rite ! Forget money, they serve it up hot -fresh - and plenty. I don't even bother looking for better . What they are is what others claim and fall short of. The batter is perfect and lite , it doesn't seem like all you are eating is chunks of greasy batter . Give them a try , I guarantee you'll enjoy it . BTW, its not order it and wait a hour, it's really quick ....Go hungry
The food was really good. They don't have almost any of the stuff that you see online for this location and they don't apologize for it. Apparently it's a chain and they don't update nor take any accountability for the website. That was a bummer. But what I did get was good and I went back when driving thru again.
My family has been coming here for years. ALWAYS good quality food and consistent service at reasonable prices.
Don't expect anything overly spectacular with the food. It's enjoyable if you're a regular here. But as someone that comes relatively rarely, it's okay at best. The tenders can be slightly hard/overcooked at times. Same with the catfish being a little dry sometimes. The coleslaw can be watered down a little as well. The beans, fries, and hush puppies are generally fine. I'm used to it because my family and I have been coming here off and on for well over a decade. Maybe my expectations are a little high though.
Went there for the first time and the food was really good. Got the catfish dinner plate and basket. Catfish was tasty. Fries were decent. Coleslaw and beans were mid. Hush puppies were forgettable. The prices are great for what you get. I recommend for the catfish alone.
The fish and the service at the Waco store is always good and that is one reason we pick up two 16oz fish only through the drive through every week. I do have one complaint. The Waco store changed to a traditional style hush puppy a while back and we LOVED IT. The original hush puppies had little to no flavor and were always a bit "mushy". The "round" hush puppies were much more tasty and a lot more flavorful. The crispier texture of the "pup" was very much more appealing as well. As such, we would add two dozen to our fish order. ( I like cold fish & cold hush puppies as a mid night snack ) Then all of a sudden, they went back to the original style. First: Why did you change from the original? Second: Why did you change back? Third: Why not offer both? I will keep buying the fish, but as long as you only off the tubular and tasteless hush puppy, I will let the corn dodgers lay.
I felt like we got a really good value for our money. We had a kids meal and a family meal (3 people). The fish and chicken were very good, and we all left full. The sides were good (slaw and beans), and the hush puppies were great! Decor was a bit dated, but it fit the nautical theme. Overall, it was a relaxed place to have a meal, and I would eat there again next time we're in town.
Being from the deep south, it's hard to find a good catfish place, especially in central Texas, so I was happy to find this old school restaurant in Waco for lunch last week. This is a no frills, casual decor kind of place that seems to be popular with the locals. I had a regular catfish plate which came with beans, fries, slaw, pickled green tomatoes, and hushpuppies. Fish was plentiful and fresh, the sides were standard fare, nothing to complain about, and the cost was reasonable for the amount of food you get. I would definitely hit it again.
After 2 days for Turkey and Ham we had to have fish. We got the family combo meal and that was a lot of food. We didn't eat all the fries and hush puppies and beans. It would be nice to see an update restaurant but we still had a good meal. I wonder what would happen if the built or open a restaurant somewhere between 4th and 11rh street near I 35?
**Catfish King: A Hearty Meal with Ample Portions** Catfish King offers a truly generous dining experience, with massive portions that will surely satisfy even the hungriest diners. I recently tried the Cajun catfish and was impressed by the colossal plate of food that arrived at my table. The catfish itself was expertly fried, with a crispy exterior and tender interior. The Cajun seasoning added a subtle kick, enhancing the natural flavor of the fish. However, it could have benefited from a slightly more intense seasoning to truly elevate the taste. Despite the mild flavor, the sheer volume of food made up for any lack of intensity. The catfish was accompanied by a staggering array of sides, including coleslaw, fries, hush puppies, and beans. Each side was well-prepared and complemented the main dish nicely. Overall, Catfish King is a great option for those seeking a hearty and affordable meal. With ample portions, a wide selection of sides, and efficient service, it's a perfect choice for casual dining. While the Cajun catfish could use a bit more flavor, the overall experience is recommended.
Really unassuming place...but then again, 85% of Waco is. However look beyond the less than ideal curb appeal and step inside...more of the same but the staff is friendly and the food is good. This chain offers moderately priced dishes with good portions. I don't claim to be the fish fry taste expert but these are good. The batter could use more flavor to bring out the texture of the catfish but that's the fun of dipping it in tarter sauce I reckon. No complaints. You want decor and whimsical birthday song and dance? Go to Red Lobster. You want good catfish basket? Check this place out
Older business. Could use some updating and paint refresh. Restrooms were tired. Food was fair and as expected. They were very quick to deliver our order. The young man who took our order was friendly and had a great smile and attitude.
This is our favorite place to eat catfish. We come from East Texas which is where Catfish King originated, so we were super happy when we moved to Waco and found one here. I will say that the staff seems to not be happy that they're there. Also, when you look them up online, it says they close at 5 on Saturdays, which is incorrect. So somebody needs to update the times on maps and Google. But we will always come back because we love this yummy clean catfish.
Food presentation was great. The food itself was not good, the fish was dry the shrimp had a very disgusting taste and smell the hushpuppy had no flavor. The coleslaw was watery the only thing good was the pinto beans. All around the food was gross. Will never go back
Great food, but they have a propaganda cable news channel blaring in there 24/7, and nobody wants to listen to ANY cable news channel while they're trying to enjoy a meal. It just ruins the atmosphere of the place. If they'd put on something normal, like old Gunsmoke reruns or something, it would gain another star.
That has to be the most bland food I've ever had, not a single piece of seasoning on the catfish, the hush puppies or the fries. Definitely not living up to the name.
Yes I was at David beards on Friday the 12th of April, spent $45 for three meals one meal was three piece chicken, the second meal was supposed to be a five piece fish and more, which we didn't end up with and the fish was way too overcooked was dry very dry thank you
Heard great things about it. Meh. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for fish that day. Friendly service. Clean restaurant. I'll try it again.
Nice place to eat. Only problem- they got my order wrong! I ordered senior Catfish dinner and ended up gettin g shrimp dinner instead. The boy that brought out our order didn't seem to care that he gave me the wrong meal. He just sat it down and walked away! Even though we nothing told him the order was wrong!
This place has been here for years, yet still does the usual that brings in a lot of customers. The fish itself is always fresh, and if planning to sit down to eat, always made to order. Edit: Though of late they have been getting orders completely wrong. It's especially inconvenient to check at a drive-thru, and be home miles away to find massive errors that is also inconvenient to call about. Despite a little bit of distance, I do enjoy coming here. Edit: they have a system in place if an order does go wrong, so there's that.
This has always been one of my favorite places to eat, so for my birthday I decided to drive 60 miles to Waco and eat at Catfish King. Big disappointment I ordered the catfish and oysters. The oysters were cut in half and over fried. They were like little rubber balls. My fish was cold. My baked potato was excellent. Hot and fresh unlike my food. I was super disappointed with my lunch and we ate there during the Sunday lunch run so you would expect for the fish to be hot. Not sure if I will go back or not.
The young man that worked the counter walked by us without acknowledging us. He mumbled when he spoke when he finally took our orders. No courtesy about him. When he brought out our food he was making noises like a 3 year old playing with a toy truck. He continued to make this noise as he waited on other customers. The food was edible except for the hush puppies which were nearly burnt. I brought my mom here because she used to come in all the time years ago and she was disappointed to say the least. I doubt that she'll want to come back and I know I definitely will not come back. Overall the place was very unwelcoming.
The cuisine was adequate, but not the best of the best. The fries and coleslaw were delicious. I'm not complaining, but the catfish was a little dry. Overall, the wait was pretty quick, and the waiters were extremely courteous.
I purchased some fish but I'm not sure it was catfish. Catfish is normally a flaky fish but this fish was a different texture than any catfish I remember. Anyway, my family and I did eat it, just not sure if it's catfish. On another note, the drive thru staff was really very pleasant.
I drove through, the food was delicious as usual. But a group of employees were smoking pot in the parking lot, gathered around a car belonging to one of them, and the smoke was strong as I sat with my window down waiting for my order. They looked at me drove by, with a don't care attitude . Why do employees lately have not a care for the reputation of their businesses?
This was a disappointment. I've eaten at the Catfish King in Livingston several times and it's great. I was expecting the same here. Not much was the same. My husband said the fish was good. Chicken tenders weren't. Maybe I had my expectations set too high?
Walking into Catfish King on South Valley Mills in Waco, I was met with a scene straight out of a Texas roadside diner playbook—rustic wooden walls, dim lighting, and an atmosphere that leaned more toward functional than inviting. The counter greeted me first, along with an employee who, when asked how his day was going, responded with, “It’s tolerable.” Not great, not bad—just tolerable. That set the tone for what was to come. The Food: A Catch That’s Been Sitting Too Long I ordered the Special Catch Cajun, which came with four fillets of catfish, coleslaw (which I opted out of), Cajun beans, fries, hush puppies (or cusp puppies, as the menu amusingly listed them), and pickled relish. Instead of coleslaw, I went for double beans and rice, which turned out to be the best decision of the meal. Catfish: The Lamp’s Unforgiving Embrace The catfish arrived at my table quickly—too quickly. That’s always a telltale sign. Freshly fried fish takes a few extra minutes, but this was clearly pre-cooked and held under a heat lamp, its outer crust already succumbing to time. It lacked that crisp bite that a proper cornmeal batter should have. Inside, the fish wasn’t tender and flaky but rather… something else. You know that texture when fish has just been sitting too long? Yeah, that. Fries & Hush Puppies: Mere Afterthoughts The fries—uninspired, limp, and pale—relied entirely on salt, pepper, and ketchup to be anything beyond filler. They had that “we don’t season these because condiments exist” energy. As for the hush puppies? Dense. Heavy. They’re not there to be enjoyed; they’re there to take up space. The kind of hush puppies that make you wish you’d saved room for literally anything else. Pickled Relish: A Lonely, Neglected Sidekick The pickled relish? An afterthought. I couldn’t figure out why it was even included in the meal. It didn’t complement the fish, nor did it have a reason to be on the plate. It felt like it was placed there out of habit rather than culinary intention. Beans and Rice: The Unsuspecting Star of the Show If anything deserves praise, it’s the beans and rice. Spiced just enough to be interesting, they provided the only real comfort in the meal. The heat, the texture, the seasoning—it was the one thing that didn’t feel rushed or neglected. If I were to come back, it would be for these alone. The Atmosphere: A Job, Not a Passion Catfish King doesn’t hum with the energy of a place that loves what it does. The employees were present but not engaged—there to do their job, but not to make anyone’s day better. And I get it, not every place needs to be a vibrant, high-energy eatery. But this was the kind of place where you felt like you were interrupting rather than being welcomed. Final Verdict: 3.5 Stars (Mostly for the Beans and Rice) Would I come back? Maybe—for the beans and rice. But for catfish? Not unless it’s guaranteed fresh. If you’re going to call yourself Catfish King, the fish should be the highlight, not the disappointment. Here, it was just tolerable—and maybe that’s the best way to sum up the whole experience.
Arrived at noon and got old and cold food, except hushpuppies which I don't like. Fish tasted like chicken strips and fry were cold. Hope you have a better experience.
The food is not seasoned at all! Had to drench everything in ketchup and pepper in order to taste some type of flavor. Only positives was the sweet tea and decent price. Came hungry, left hungry after ordering the combo and uprising. Would not go back
To be Honest Cat Fish was terrible. Cat fish is not fresh but frozen then thawed and cooked. The Cat fish was thin and dry and had no taste, cole slaw was too chopped and dry. We are new to Waco and are looking for a good Cat Fish place. We will continue to look.
I'll start with that I have been biased in favor of Catfish King for years and have historically loved the food. This has been a staple for my parents, my family, and me for decades now when making trips throughout Texas (especially this location on the way to Dallas). I once again was excited about making a detour to hit this location on New Year's Day. I hit some traffic, but I made it to the location just in time before they closed. I got to the drive thru to order, and an employee came on and said, 'we're closed'. I was quite confused and told him that it was still a couple minutes before they closed per the sign posted. He told me, 'no, we are closed and the fryers are off.' Seriously? If you are going to stop serving customers before closing time, then what is the point of a closing time? The customer service was very poor, and I have a totally different view of this location despite happy memories as a child stretching back decades. At minimum, the employee could have apologized and offered to sell whatever food was already made (not necessitating the fryer being started up again). I'm super disappointed, and it looks like I'll never have a need to stop in Waco again. This location does not value their customers and needs education in service delivery.
Got there at 6:45pm. Condiments were already taken up. Food arrived in like 2 minutes then tea was taken up & put in pitchers…. One had a napkin on handle. Found out it was the sweet. Fish was dry …. Not recently cooked. In the past we have really enjoyed the food there but these last two times the fish was not good… Not fresh… Very hard and dried out. Very disappointed now I’m not sure if we want to go back or not because two times in a row it’s been bad and we’re afraid that the Third time and after won’t be any better
Great catfish and hushpuppies, cooked just right, fast service . Will definitely be back. Update. I never receive bad food from this place. Best catfish in waco. And the best priced. Can't beat that ..update. update. Got wrong drink, old bunt fries and skimped on fish. This why restaurants struggle
Food is always delightful but customer service has declined. Been eating here for years. Google says the close at 9. Called a little before 8 to place a Togo order and was told the wouldn't take my order over the phone because they were closing in 10 minutes. Asked if I showed up in line before 8 would they take order. He said give me your order but if u not here by 8 I'm closing. I google.mapped my time and called him back to to tell him my eta was 8:02 and he said he was.closing. went to the Catch. Had a wonderful meal and a free mixed drink while I waited. Great customer.service. same money..more value and happier customer service
I used to LOVE this place. I still LOVE the TASTE but they are crazy if they think this is the right amount of fish for what I ordered. The pieces are a third of the size but I got the same number of pieces. Before the container would hardly close but now with the lid closed you can hardly feel the fish in there. Guess I'm back to making my own at home.
We came in at 7:04pm. We come here a lot but usually earlier. Today the tea was already gone…. Condiments were in containers (apparently had been in fridge/freezer & were like tasteless jello)…. Fish had been sitting awhile as was very dried out & not tasty as usual. They were already sweeping which is fine but tea unavailable (when I asked said they were out)…. We spent $37.83 & it was awful.
I'd leave a five-star rating instead of a two if they didn't constantly ANNOY the CRAP outta me by closing at a RIDICULOUS EIGHT O'CLOCK.... Frankly, I think that's STUPID. It started during COVID and they've just never gone back to operating like a NORMAL BUSINESS... I would eat there three or four times a month, easy; if I didn't always feel like "I hafta HURRY if I wanna eat Catfish King for supper!" Because I almost always eat later than that, they get my business maybe three or four times a YEAR instead of three or four times a MONTH.... And I know I can't be the only one.!🤨🤷
Fish was not hot or freshly cooked. Beans, slaw, and fries were good. Tables had not been wiped off and restaurant, in general, was not clean. Fork holder was dirty, too. Kids were too busy talking about video games and using inappropriate language to take care of business. Manager needs to manage and clean up the place!!!
We had the catfish baskets,The fish was over cooked, hush puppies were doughy inside, fries were okay but the tea tasted funny and nothing like tea! The place was clean but, smelled like mothballs. The server was polite and friendly. We ate part of the food and dumped the rest in the trash! We won’t be back!
This was our first and last visit. My husband, who rarely complains, even hated it. We had catfish and butterfly shrimp. The shrimp were small but were the only thing that seemed to be freshly cooked. All the rest of our food tasted like warm yesterday leftovers. Yuck.
Well I was really craving some fried fish , this place lacks soul & seasoning. It’s definitely not for a brother or sister if you know what I mean . No music playing just news channel , shrimp & the fountain drinks are the only thing worth coming for . THE FISH IS DRY WITH NO SEASONING AT ALL. the beans and rice also lacked flavor I give it a 2/10 will not return and we got two plates that came to $34.00 . All the hot sauce in the world couldn’t save my plate .
The catfish was unimpressive and lacking the proper seasoning. It tasted boring and flat. I was very disappointed considering how "talked up" this place was by my coworkers. Their tastebuds must be non-existent because the catfish was just blah. My fries were not hot or crispy and the hush puppies were a zero. Bad restaurants like this one are upcharging its customers and producing low quality food. Thats not cool if they want repeat business. Would I recommend this place? No.
Fish had no flavor at all and was very dry. My wife shrimp was bad as well. The fries were cold and the beans were bad as well. The two best things about this place was the fountain drinks and the exit.
The first time was so bad had to give it another try and it was the exact same. Terribe, fried dry mush with absolutely no taste. How is this place still open.
Ordered catfish which came to table as soon as we sat down- it was sitting out awhile. Food tasted bland Tartar sauce was more mayo than anything. The place is filthy. Two other guests here so it wasn't an issue being too busy. Won't be back.
We have eaten there on Sunday for lunch a couple of times and found the food to be good. We ate there for dinner and the catfish and fries were terrible. Seemed the catfish and fries were precooked and barely heated. Very disappointed.
Whatever it was, it was not catfish. I ordered the special catch. Fish was dry and tasteless. Slaw soggy...not crisp and fresh. The beans were well seasoned, but watery and the 2 hushpuppies were dry and didn't have much flavor. My plate was covered with old tasting overcooked probably leftover fries. The entire place needs a good cleaning. Such a shame! I remember the Catfish King in Denton which was always good. This was first and last visit to the Waco establishment.
This was the filthiest place we’ve ever been in. As we walked to the cashier to order, the windowsills were dirty but didn’t think much of it. Ordered and got seated and the floor was sticky and the table was wet and sticky. Went to wash my hands and the light colored sinks were coated in grey scum. I used a paper and wiped the sink bowl once and left a clean streak in the sink. The bathroom floors were filthy. The food was not good either and none of us finished our meal. There was a very loud male yelling in the kitchen. Not a good visit and won’t be going back.
I went through the drive through window and I told them I wanted 2 senior chicken fried steak’s, when I got home they were fish plates, so I called them and they asked me what the recipe said and it said catfish but I don’t look at my recipe when I order,the manager was very rude,
Restaurant extremely dirty, food terrible. Health dept needs to visit this establishment. Employee taking orders removed his cap scratching his head. Running his hands through his hair. Unbelievably dirty and poorly managed.
Everytime my Aunt gets catfish for my mom and me with fries and beans coleslaw The fish is always dry & the food is still dry & recently got fish and fries & beans & coldsaw we don’t like that food it is already dry ordered again on 11-29-25
The food was nasty. Fish NASTY. Rice NASTY. The only thing good was my drink, the damn fish tasted like chicken. I ended up going to Popeyes. I should’ve followed my first mind.
