Catfish King Paris Reviews
This is a place I would go to every day of I lived closer. Today, I drove 6 hrs from my house before stopping here. I'm now considering making the drive on a Saturday or Sunday, just to eat here, it was that good.... Service, cleanliness, food, out of this world good! Thanks you Catfish King and keep doing what you do!!
This restaurant is the best by far in the region, when it comes to catfish, that I have found.( Lamar, Grayson, Fannin, and Collin Counties) If you haven't tried them and you like catfish, this is your place. Try the Super Catch, it has sides and plenty of fish to share. The red beans and rice and hush puppies are so very good, too.
Great food, great experience, the person at the register was so nice and it took 3 minutes for my food to be ready and it was delicious.
We love catfish king in paris. Always fresh and quick service! We drive over an hour just to eat here!!!!
The best catfish, beans, coleslaw ever. Lunch plates are very cheap.
Fantastic catfish and chicken fried steak. Love the Cole slaw. Not a fan of beans in general but I actually liked these. Next time we are headed to Galveston for a cruise, we will stop here and eat again. Yum.
Very good place to eat catfish. Always good and not overly greasy.
Delicious as always. Not too often through here, yet I am happy to stop when nearby. Food is consistent through the years, and service is friendly and quick.
Customer service is great the food is most definitely always hot and fresh with no wait time
I love eating here. And apparently so does everyone else. Great food
Tender catfish, great cole slaw, baked potato with butter and sour cream, and beans! Loved it! Friendly people. RECOMMEND!
Excellent meal at a good price. Very helpful and friendly folks behind the counter.
I have been going here for years. It is not the cheapest place, but it is 100% worth every penny. The food is delicious. From the shrimp and catfish, to the hushpuppies, beans, and slaw. I havent tried the chicken fried steak or chicken, but i dont doubt they are delicious as well. They have some of the best sweet tea. The seating is very casual. Tables and chairs. Very wheelchair and walker accessible entrance to seating(Personally tested). Though i dont remember if the restroom is all that accessible, i havent been in there is quite a while. Many people with walkers use it, so it must be ok for them at least. If you go at lunch time especially on sunday when the church crowd lets out, be prepared to wait awhile. Even in the drivethrough. It has a line as long as chikfila. You will be waiting a while. Beware the drivethrough curbs, they will get you if you are not real careful. I love this place. We eat there whenever we can. Also, when trying to get in and out of the parking lot to/from the road, its like playing frogger.
To be fair I’ve loved Catfish King since I was a kid so I may be biased, but when a place serves the same great tasting fish, shrimp and sides for over 40 years it probably deserves to be rated high. For a fast food service catfish joint you won’t find better. The food was great, as always, the service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect! Give it a try!
Food was really fresh and tasty. Clean place and really friendly staff. If I am ever back in Paris, Tx I will definitely come back.
Pretty much any location you go to will be high quality. The seafood is always fresh and you can order home style food like potatoes or chicken fried steak. They do not have a salad bar like some locations do and the salad is already pre made in a container. That doesn't mean it's bad though and it may have been changed due to pandemic. The lobby IS OPEN for dine in and the service is exceptional! The drive thru line is always really long but it moves fairly quick. I recommend taking your family here for a quality meal.
Don't know about the food this time, because man that took order wanted to charge for an extra meal that we didn't order, then when told the order was wrong, he told us to leave that he hadn't gotten it wrong and that he wasn't going to change the order. Very rude in the drive thru and incompetent at taking orders. Wouldn't have given 1 star but to rate them at all I had to give them 1 that they don't deserve.
Horrible service! went in had a big to go order paying seperate and was told from now on if I was gonna do a big order to pay for it with one payment method, or don't do it at all who says that?? Especially to a big order like that, they weren't even busy it was 10:30 in the morning.. it just rubbed me the wrong way
The food it's self is good but my problem is with the rudeness of some of the employees. Particularly the manager Theresa. Smartmouth , Arrogant just plain rude the attitude I seen her give the customer in front of me was sickening. Hopefully the employees that work under her don't get treated as bad as she does the customer. The lady that she treated like crap told her I'm a regular customer here but not any more . I wonder how many other customers CK has lost due to this women or employees?????
