I have been away from Arkansas for several years. I always want good fried chicken , BBQ and catfish when I'm back to visit family. There used to be a lot of good catfish in the area but seems harder to find. I used to always like Ed's but had heard it wasn't as good as it used to be. I was so pleased we went. We just ordered catfish plates and didn't have the buffet. Really big pieces of catfish with all the fixings. This will be my go to place every time I get back home until I find a place that matches them.

I prefer the old food at the old location. The people were nice enough-there seemed to be too many servers for customers. Our waitress, a young oriental woman, was exceedingly nice & prompt. The food was just bland, the fish tasted burnt, & that's not how I remember it tasting a year or two ago at the old spot.So I had written the above (with two stars) when Ed's first moved to its new location (and forgot to post it). It's at least a year later and I've been eating less carbs and decided to forgo that for a meal. So we gave Ed's another chance and it was pretty good! Much more up to the "old spot" standards. They set out a little at a time, which I kind of prefer so it doesn't get dried out and taste like typical buffet fare. I'm not big on seafood, so I can't speak for all of that aspect, besides the catfish, which was fresh, soft, and really tasty. But I thoroughly enjoyed the sides - beans, cabbage, macaroni and tomatoes, etc. The desserts are small portioned, but they're so sweet, that's all the size that I would want. If you want more, just get two servings. Staff was pleasant, it was an overall much better second experience and I'm glad we gave it a go again!

I don't say this lightly, but the "catfish" here is worse than even the worst gas station catfish I've ever encountered. Steer clear. Tough, chewy, poorly seasoned. If you've never had decent catfish, this might pass for it. However, if you've had decent catfish, your order from this place is probably going into the trash. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

My wife and I visited here for the first time last Tuesday (Senior Tuesday) with no expectations, having read a few negative reviews. But let me share with you our experience as a new arrival to Jonesboro....we LOVED everything about our lunch here. Family style dining so find an empty seat and share a picnic style table with someone. We made a new friend who gave us the rundown on how things work here. He said, if this is your first time, go ahead and get a plate of food and I will tell the waitress what you want for drinks...so you won't have to wait. That was a really considerate offer. So we went and surveyed the buffet. Man, they had butterflied shrimp, catfish fillets, chicken wings and other delicious offerings. The sides were also plentiful. Fresh fried okra was wonderful and more varieties than the usual southern food offerings elsewhere. PLUS each dish was perfectly seasoned without being overly salty. Lots of desserts also but we were too full to try anything. This is going to be our new "Go to" place. Reasonably priced and friendly service. Ed's Catfish is doing things very very well.

They need to list hours for lunch buffet and dinner buffet hours. That they have menu you order only between the other hours. They turned alot of people away cause they came for buffet between lunch and 4:00. They were some made people. Sure is hurting their business. Need sign out for with hours for each time. 1 star

You now have to pay to get a to go cup to pour any remaining drink in. The 9 year old with me had almost a full glass of the drink she ordered when we first went in and when we asked for a cup so she could take it with us we were told we would have to pay for another drink. and the lady at the register was rude when I complained about it. Today was probably my last trip to Ed's.

It's been years since patronizing the place, possibly right after they opened at their new location. Wasn't very impressed with the buffet. They seemed to be almost out of everything. My main desire was to eat a lot of good catfish, but it didn't taste right so didn't eat very much. Everything else was just too greasy to enjoy. When leaving, the cashier told me how much was due. A fellow was sitting right beside where I was standing, and asked how I liked the food. I told him the catfish tasted more like tilapia than catfish. He said, "Get out of here," so I did and haven't been back.
