Hyde's Fish Farm

Food was burnt and catfish fillets were size of nuggets. Owner was rude when we called her about it. Won't be back. Don't waste your time or your money!!!!

The food is so good. You get to feed the fish it's only a few cents to buy a cup of fish food. The fillets are amazing and the baked beans are very tasty. The chicken is pretty good. They have hushpuppies and they are delicious. The service is awesome. They also have fresh cut onion. I would definitely recommend eating at Hyde's.

The good: Hyde's has the BEST catfish around. My husband and I try to go at least once anytime we visit my mom in Missouri. You can easily go home from Hyde's more stuffed than you've ever been, because it's all you can eat! Everything they offer is fantastic, and it's great for everyone in the family.The bad: it's hard to find. There's limited parking. And it get's REALLY busy on Sunday's and some holidays (like Mother's Day). In the end, this place is a gem. The food and relaxed atmosphere make up for it's few flaws.

In years past, I loved going to Hyde's. But in the last 5 years that has changed. The last few times I went, the service was terrible, it is overpriced, the fish was overcooked, the hush puppies were burnt, the parking stinks. The last time I went we kept having to ask our waitress multiple times for the same thing like ketchup, napkins, silverware. When we left someone had parked behind us blocking us in. We went in to ask about having the car moved and they blew us off and told us there was nothing they could do about it. Turns out it was the cooks girlfriend who just came by to visit him while he was working. She just parked her car behind 3 other cars.

If, for some strange reason, you enter the twilight zone and end up in a quaint town called Poplar Bluff, Missouri (technically a stone's throw away-Broseley), GO TO HYDE'S FISH HOUSE!Seriously. This place is amazing. It's a fish farm/restaurant, where you go to eat all-you-can-eat catfish. Included in your (if not under ten dollars, then close) dinner is unlimited hush puppies, fried okra, and various other goodies.It's in an amazing rural setting, complete with a huge catfish pond (which you can walk to and feed the fish). To call the building rudimentary is not fair, but I will say that it does have an untouched rustic charm. The walls are decorated with the Coors Cowboy ads of decades ago and the chairs and tables very functional. They have large bowls of peanuts, the shells of which you just throw on the floor (which drives me crazy, but I went along). They have a short beer list, which will certainly do the trick, and Pepsi products. The waitress did her best for a very busy crowd and served it up with the perfunctory side of sass. This place is amazingly awesome. It's like you stepped into rural 1983 (a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind ).

Went to Hydes for my birthday with about 15 family members. It was very disappointing. Definitely not the place I remember! We went early to avoid the rush, so that was not the reason for the poor service. I didn't get a single refill. The cashier was the only worker I encountered who was friendly. The fish was only adequate, they don't serve pickles, very limited beverage selection(no sweet tea), and fries tasted like they might have been cooked in the same oil as when I was there years ago. On a positive note, they gave the kids free candy and the kids enjoyed feeding the fish. It is such a shame because this was a place my family used to really enjoy. I actually think it should be a crime to serve fish without sweet tea and pickles!! Little tip-they do not take credit cards but they do have an ATM.

Perhaps closed? Was greatly anticipating our meal here tho it was very deserted on Thursday at 6pm. Unless it's just open for lunch.

Fish and fries were good! Had to wait for any extra fish to be served ! Need to update prices!! About $7.00 off on the all you can eat prices.

Great food friendly service prices are good easy to find if in the area or just visiting and your craving some great fresh fried catfish this is a must visit place. I have been here many times and will continue to come here. You won't regret it

Love the casual atmosphere and the fish is always hot and delicious! We try to make it there any time we are in the area. However, they do not accept credit or debit cards as stated. Take along plenty of cash and an empty belly! You will be delighted!
