Place is an Arlington institution been there since I can remember and today was my 1st time in to my surprise it was spotless clean from top to bottom plenty of seating with a port side decor only thing missing was a fishing dock. The catfish was absolutely perfect and the wife said her Shrimp was very good portions were more than we could finish cole slaw,beans went well tomato relish was differently good and yeast roll stole my heart.Amber our server was very kind polite an a real treat you can tell the folks here enjoy their work.Looking forward to stopping in next time where that way.

What a great place to go eat and relax. If you can get Melissa as your waitress ask for her she's the best. Try the fried pickles they are great but so is everything else. Catfish,hush puppies, coleslaw tomatoes and beans was great and lots of it. Oh and try the margaritas best I've had in the DFW area. Get there early because the place has people waiting 20 minutes before they open but the wait is short.

Let me just say the food here is nothing but amazing. This was my first time eating here and I was in no way disappointed. Service was beyond perfect and the friendliest I have ever had. Love the whole fishing, ocean life and anything that has to do with fish vibe this establishment has. If you love sea food like I do then this is the place for you. They also offer other dishes that are not fish or sea food related.

Oh Catfish Sam's how I love you. Other than the excellent catfish, the items in their setup are some of my favorites. The setup for decades has those addictive little round hushpuppies, sweet green tomatoes, dill pickles and okra, onions (a must) and Catfish Sam's declivous pinto beans. I could forego the fish and much down on just the items in the setup. But how can you go to Catfish Sam's and NOT get their phenomenal catfish? Their catfish is battered and fried to perfection.What an incredible greeting from our server! They're always so friendly and welcoming. My wife is not a big fish lover, but fortunately, Catfish Sam's has lots of options on the menu for those land lovers. On this visit she opted for the children's chicken tender's dinner, and I opted for the medium catfish filet platter with a baked potato. and all the deliciousness that goes with it!Our platters arrived after a short wait. ALL of our food was delicious and served piping hot. My catfish was fried to perfection and my wife loved her chicken tenders. What a wonderful time we had. We both left with VERY happy tummies. We'll see you again soon Catfish Sam's.

I wanted good catfish. I've been checking out different locations and decided to stop here. I hadn't read anything about Sam's before I stopped. But a catfish craving is a catfish craving.I ordered it to go because it was still a bit early for supper. The service was fantastic. And fast. Speedy fast. The restaurant is a bit dated - reminded me of some of the restaurants from the late 70's. (nOTE: the late 70's is back in the 1900's.)If you want good farm-raised catfish, make it a point to stop here!

A-1 catfish!!! This catfish is crispy seasoned perfectly and it's not that fatty, bland catfish that you get from most of the franchise restaurants.
