Adams Catfish House

16FEB24 ~ They charge 3% on the total bill if you use a credit card. The steak fries were undercooked, limp, & tasteless. Our waitress, Sofia, was excellent.

It's hard to believe that I've never eaten at Adams Catfish House, having driven past it so many times over so many years. However, while contemplating dinner on Friday 25 SEP 2020, we decided to go, as while I checked out their Yelp scores, I recognized a few Yelpers I knew and trusted.We arrived at 6:30 PM and although a little crowded, there were still tables available and we were seated immediately. We were greeted very quickly by our server and our drinks came soon afterwards and our orders were taken. Unfortunately, after requesting some Splenda for my tea, I had to wait a long time and eventually requested it again, as my server apologetically admitted she had forgotten it. Not a big deal, as she seemed fairly busy.Unfortunately, it took our food 55 minutes to arrive at our table after ordering. Perhaps this is the normal waiting time here, but it seemed like a long time for fried seafood. My son's kids catfish plate with sweet potato fries was fine; however, his catfish tasted as if it were fried at a very high temperature and tasted slightly scorched. My wife's combo plate consisted of fried catfish and fried shrimp with hush puppies. The hush puppies were some of the best I've ever eaten; however, the catfish, like my sons, also tasted as if it were fried at a very high temperature and tasted slightly scorched. Furthermore, her plate only had 2 shrimp on it. The server acknowledged this and advised they were cooking the other 4 shrimp, which also took a little too long to receive. However, the 4 remaining shrimp were cooked excellently. Lastly, I ordered the Big J salad. This was a pretty good salad; however, the shrimp were almost cool by the time I received it. Also, my very last bite of one of the two catfish filets was undercooked. It was a thick piece and I can see how this could happen, but I had to politely spit it out. This is a nice restaurant with a very homey feel to it. However, things did not work out well for us on this particular evening. Perhaps they were short staffed in the kitchen or something else was "going on". However, with no explanation, I left feeling let down.Sorry Adams. No hard feelings here, just disappointment.

I have been to this Adam's several times and I have not had a disappointing meal yet! It's nothing fancy but all the fish I have had there has been cooked to perfection. Tender and lightly fired. I also have to say that the Adams burger is amazing! Absolutely one of the juiciest and most delicious burgers I have had throughout NOLA.

I have been going to Adam's forever. You know what you are getting. Yummy fried catfish, steak fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw. Perfectly fried. BUT- No one working had masks on!!!! Not cool. We ended up ordering to go because it was uncomfortable.

I ordered a fried catfish lunch and some onion rings. The food was very tasty. None of the staff were wearing masks at all. The customers were wearing masks, but the staff was not. This made me very uncomfortable.

Very good food and great friendly staff. Wonderful family dining. The catfish and hush puppies are excellent! I made the absolute right choice flyer dinner in Belle Chase.

Adams Catfish has been our go to place for years. My husband always gets catfish (which he says is the best) but I have tried their shrimp salad too. Friendly staff and always a great lunch or dinner!

My wife and I have had our last meal with Adams Catfish House. Haven't had it in a while so we thought we would treat ourselves to some fried catfish. I picked up to 3 pc. filet dinners and we sat down to eat them we ate some and realized that it had a strange taste so I smelled it and it was just starting to spoil like a faint rotten smell. Now this is the 3rd. time that we've had rotten fish with Adams Catfish the first two times was at the restaurant and they only charged us for one plate and the second time they didn't beleive us, and we didn't go back for years. We are not the type of people that look for freebies or problems we just want what we pay for.So this time I didn't even call them, we just won't go back. So good luck when you eat there

First ate hear in the 70's. It was a good restaurant to take the family. The owner didn't tolerate foul Language or other impalite behavior. After being transferred around the country in the 80's, here we were again in the NOLA Area.One of the first places we had to visit was Adam's Farm Fresh Catfish. They were still in step serving the finest fried catfish, hush puppies and coleslaw. They had French fries, but didn't want to waste space with everything else was so great!Well, I've noticed the menu is larger now and and so the prices. The all you could eat back then was about $7.00, now about $22.00. I guess that's progress.
