Catfish Parlour

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.

food is consistently pretty good. We decided to split a piece of pie today for dessert and were fairly appalled. They charge $7 for a slice of key lime pie that was about an inch and a half wide at the widest point. In our opinion they shouldn't have charged more than 2.50 or $3 for a tiny sliver of pie. Cutting a pie like this would yield probably 15-16 pieces at $7 a pop. It seems like an extremely cheap tactic. We definitely will not be ordering a dessert here again. You absolutely do not get your money's worth. I should have taken a photo, but my Mom ate it before I got my phone out. It was gone in just 3-4 bites, definitely not enough to share for 2.

6/15/2024Out for a Saturday drive and stopped in for lunch. History: while working at the Airport, a group of use would have lunch here 3-4 times a month. COVID - killed the buffet. Haven't been to this location in 5 yrs. I recognized the tall guy with glasses - Kevin I believe. Maybe the owner ??He's been working there, I'm guessing 20 years now. ( because time now flies by)Food quality was the same as I remembered from previous years. For many restaurants that was hard to do after Covid but this establishment has figured out a way to keep the quality good and the price reasonable. I had their "big cat card" from years ago, and they even honored that. All in all this is a well run Restaurant that's doing a great job and has been for years - hats off to management.

I've heard a lot about Catfish Parlour & finally got the chance to check it out. Came in for lunch and had the Combo Catfish & Cracker Jack Shrimp. You could choose between a small, medium and large. I went with the small for $13.95 and each size comes with 3 sides. Went with the black eyed peas, macaroni & cheese and vinaigrette coleslaw. The portion size is more than enough for a small size. I couldn't even finish it all and had to take the rest home. The food flavor was good, but honestly I was hoping for a little more flavor. Thankfully each table has lots of hot sauce. It wasn't bad I just need more flavor and spice. Portion size and low pricing a huge plus. Our waitress was also super sweet. It was a busy lunch rush and the kitchen slightly messed up on of our orders. She was beyond apologetic and had the kitchen bring some complimentary brownies.

From the outside, it kinda looks like a warehouse. The inside looks old but not in a bad way. The service was excellent and very fast. I got the original coleslaw it has a vinegary taste, and I like that. The Mac N Cheese was very cheesy and had great flavor. The shrimp and catfish were good sizes and tasted fresh, and the breading had good flavor. I also liked the hush puppies. They come with a green sauce that was delicious. As far as the price goes, it seemed reasonable to me. All of this with a drink was $33. Most fish places I've been to only offer fries with your combo. Here, you get 3 sides. I didn't give them a 5 because the fish didn't blow me away, but I would highly recommend it.

Had lunch at Catfish Parlour on Ben White today. The food was great as usual. Love the jalapeno tartar sauce. Anthony was our server and he made our meal the best ever. Anthony was very friendly and attentive without hovering. He was quick to refill our drinks and make recommendations from the bar. He brought everything we requested and always had a smile.

Fried food nirvana!! The food is generally pretty good. You can't go wrong with the fried shrimp and fish plate. Fried Fish 8/10 - good seasoning, not over cooked. I got the 4 piece with 2 spicy and 2 regular. The spice wasn't really spicy at all, just a very mild kick. The pieces are decent size too.Jumbo Fried Shrimp 8/10 - it comes with 3 large butterflied shrimp. Same as the fish, the seasoning and crust were very good. Very generous portions.Hush Puppies 9/10 - these bad boys appear to be like chips and salsa. They are brought to the table with a standard homemade tartar sauce as well as a green, slightly spicy homemade tartar sauce. They are kind of addictive. They are like fingerling hush puppies?Service 7/10 - Antonia was our server, and she did a good job being attentive. Atmosphere 6/10 - nothing fancy, just a typical mom and pop seafood restaurant. It was clean with ample seating. This place has been around for many years, and judging by the crowd today, will be for many more to come. Go check it out!

HIDDEN GEM!! This place was recommended to me from a coworker and holy she pulled through. Good food (I got the hot & spicy catfish dinner ) definitely coming back for the gumbo though

The food is always amazing, idk how they raise catfish to be fluffy internally. It was such a delight as I had some bad seafood at two other restaurants prior to my visit to Catfish Parlour. Our waiter was delightful and willing to help my elderly parents with the menu. It was very quiet when we went but had a very homey feel.

Good service, kind owner. Super cute, homey-woodsy feel inside. Lots of cute decor. Food was cooked well! Yummy hushpuppies. Live music sometimes too!
