What a cool little joint that specializes in CATFISH! It’s a must do bucket list item if your a fish lover like me! Get the special sauces and enjoy the extra friendly staff that will make you feel at home. Fillets are big so order small and get more after.

Ordered the catfish and salmon patty plate. Food came out quickly and was very good. The catfish tasted great. The salmon patties were made well and were good. I prefer the middle of the patty cooked a little longer, but they still had a good taste. This was not my first visit. The staff is always friendly and very good at keeping up with their tables. This place gets very busy, so go early.

I've been going to Huck's for catfish exclusively for 20 years, when I first moved to this area. The first catfish house I went to was by the lake, and it was good, but not Huck's good. After I tried Huck's there was no reason to go anywhere else. Great service; the chef, owner, manager, they all come around and greet you properly. They make you feel at home. Never had a bad waiter/waitress, either. Everything I've eaten is stellar. Completely delicious 😋 PS. Always get extra hushpuppies! ❤️

Love Love Love the French Dressing!!!! Salads so fresh with the crispiest hushpuppies this side of the Delta! Best Cat Fish hands down. Family Favorite 😍 ❤️ 💙 Thank you for remaining in business for your customers 😊.

Best fried catfish I’ve ever had in my life! Absolutely fantastic. Everything is good — hush puppies, garlic/bacon coke slaw, ham and potato salad…EVERYTHING! Our server was wonderful!!!

We were greeted as we walked in the door - the servers were friendly and professional. We tried the catfish and the salmon patties and apitizer. Pricing was very reasonable and everything was delicious. THE The portions were good and we did bring a little goody bag home. The parking lot was FULL and I had to park back behind the restaurant (not a parking space) and it was WORTH IT! They had a little bench out front under a tree where my folks could sit and wait til I pulled the car around 😁 Thank you! We'll definitely be back.

When you find out where the locals eat, you go there. We had an outstanding meal with Greta serving us. The catfish can be cornmeal fried, baked, or fried with cajun spices added. Most meals come with two sides. The potato/ham salad was delicious with just the right amount of mayonnaise. The catfish are 4 ounce large pieces served with chow-chow and raw white onions. Sides are numerous and nicely sized. I had a large grilled chicken salad with tomatoes, celery, carrots, cucumbers and a boiled egg. The hushpuppies were kinda meh, but everything else was delicious. So even if you don't have room for dessert, get the pecan cobbler. It's just as good as our homemade pecan pie, so it's definitely worth getting a togo order.

The service was exceptional. From our arrival to our departure, every team member demonstrated remarkable courtesy. This establishment consistently offers the finest fried catfish I have encountered in over two decades of dining at Hucks.

100/100 — Always an incredible experience at Huck’s Catfish! The food is consistently delicious, the service is warm, and the whole atmosphere feels like a true local treasure. This place is a gem in every way. And if you’re visiting from out of town, make sure to head just down the road and check out the Frontier Village & Museum! (Honestly, that place deserves just as many reviews as Huck’s! 😂) Both spots together make for the perfect Denison experience. Especially if you love history antiques. You will be blown away!! Also 100/100! Highly recommend!

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting — the perfect mix of Southern comfort and family-friendly charm. Our waitress Sadie was absolutely amazing — friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The owner even stopped by our table to check on us, which really shows how much they care about their guests and the quality of their food. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked — you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Huck’s Catfish to everyone! 🐟👏

Great value for what you get. Fish was perfectly cooked and all the sides knocked it out of the park. Creamed spinach and ham potato salad were the top sides but nothing was left on our plates when we finished. Glad we tried Huck’s was worth the drive will definitely recommend and come back to try different sides and menu items.

We have enjoyed Hucks since the restaurant opened. Best catfish in our neck of the woods. Recently we did a takeout order for 7 people. They were quick in getting our order ready! Delicious food and good people!!

We arrived just as they were opening and we were greeted by the staff. The service was excellent. We had the hush puppies with relish and butter for our appetizer. The fried fish was excellent, but if you are expecting an East Texas cornmeal breading this is not it. The breading was light and not greasy at all. I am picky about coleslaw, but I liked theirs. Overall a very good experience. I would definitely go back.

This place is timeless! What a great joint! I have been eating at this restaurant for over a decade now and they consistently have the best catfish around! Just no BS, down home southern country, and traditionally breaded/cooked fried catfish! Go get some and thank me later! Pro tip: when they are open, they can get real busy at the dinner hour. Its almost best to wait an hour or 2 past the dinner hour, and you usually dont have to wait!

The catfish, hush puppies, really just everything is top notch. This is my favorite place anywhere in north Texas to get catfish. They have awesome sweet tea and lemonade, (Arnold Palmer!) service, and a small town atmosphere. There are so many good sides/veggies that it's so hard to just choose a few. I can't say enough about just how good it is every time I go there.

Best Lunch of the Month! We were seriously craving catfish, so we headed over—and were immediately encouraged when we saw the parking lot completely full. To me, that’s always a good sign that the food is going to be great. What we didn’t expect was for everything to be fantastic! From the tangy green relish to the flavorful beans, and of course, the perfectly cooked catfish—we were blown away. We even ordered the catfish two different ways, and both were excellent. Big shoutout to the staff as well—super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. And for fellow veterans: they offer a military discount, which is a great touch. I absolutely love this place and will definitely be back!

Don’t know how we missed this place for the 7 years we’ve been in the area but l can assure you we’ll make up for the lost time . Our server was super nice and friendly guided us through the menu and we were off and running. Best Catfish I’ve ever had hands down big fillets and big portions of fresh cut fries . Potato salad and garlic bacon slaw were great as well, not your ordinary coleslaw by any means. And I almost forgot the hush puppies ridiculously good,I could’ve eaten 50 of those and would’ve been happy with just that. I’m telling you if you haven’t been here Hucks is a must try, so good you’ll have to nap afterwards 😂

Yummy food and amazing service. My waitress, Margaret, was so good and explained all the options for preparing my catfish as well as describing all the sides and "extras". Green tomato relish, onions and all you want hushpuppies were a pleasant surprise. So much food and I only had the 3/4 meal.😊 Love that you can get each filet done a different way. Enjoyed "burnt" and Cajon fried a lot.

Great place with a home atmosphere, great service, and tasty food! Their potato salad is probably one of the best ones I've had in a while. The catfish was great as well, but I'm looking forward to coming back for some fried okra.

I've been going to Huck's Catfish since it was located in Pottsboro, TX. Last night, 10-25-25, was the first time I've stuck to the floor! Every person that walked through the north dining room was sticking to the floor because it was so dirty. I guess the new owner doesn't know what hot soapy water and a mop is for. The food was as it's always been. No complaints. The service wasn't great. Our server spent her time hanging out at the corner of the entrance between the dining room and kitchen. I ordered two drinks, a tea and water. My wife and I needed drink refills. She came by the table, and didn't notice that all three drinks were empty. My wife asked for a refill. She returned to the table, filled my wife's drink, and left my two empties! I had to flag down another server to get my water refilled. After a less than pleasurable dining experience, and listening to the shoes pop loose from the floor, I went to the front to pay my tab. You can see into the kitchen, and it sure looks darker than I remember, with grease coating the walls. How this place is passing health inspection is beyond me.

They have great food but the fish is more greasy to us than years ago when they first opened. Maybe it is our age. The waitresses have been rude and condescending. The atmosphere is extremely loud…

My cousins have been telling how good Huck's Catfish was. They assured me that it was worth the 50 minute drive. I was expecting outstanding fried catfish. I was so disappointed. It was bland. I grew up eating cornmeal coated fried catfish with amazing flavor. The service was awesome and the price was good. But the catfish was not worth the drive.
