Bigway Chicken & Catfish

This was good. Everything is fresh and made to order. The fish was good, but we will go with the bone in next time (whole piece catfish). We are used to Joe Tess' and Catfish Lake, so this crunchy coating was nice! The coleslaw is on point and those fries! Crispy, hot and fluffy! All they need is some malt vinegar (which they do not have!)The beignets are some of the best we have had in the area! Crispy and airy. Perfectly done! Let me tell you about the service! That is truly what elevates BigWay! Our gal took the orders at the counter, took care of the Dining room, checked in on us, refilled cooler items and kept moving the entire time we were there, all with an infectious smile. We went in on Sunday after church! It wasn't crazy busy, but we got right around noon. We will go back for sure!

I've been here a couple of times and have never been disappointed. I love their fresh cooked gizzards and the chicken rice bowl. You get a ton of food for a good price, and I'll always end up having a ton of leftovers. The gizzards have never been overcooked, and the ranch, chicken bowl is loaded with cheese, ranch and meat.

Awesome!! Flat out awesome! I love independently owned restaurants! There's care and love put into every dish and that's what you will find here. You order your food at a counter and then seat yourself. TheRestaurant is inviting, brick walls and decorated in a classic way! Lots of fried options as you can imagine. I wanted to try as much of the menu as possible but opted for the catfish basket. The breading was crispy and the catfish was tender and perfectly cooked. Of course we also had the fried okra which was a nice side that we often don't get to order most other places! Bigway is winning in a Big Way!!

Owner served me old food just redipped it in the grease. I called him out on this and he wouldn't give me a refund or a partial one. Look at the fries... and those blacked little rocks are supposed to be wings it wouldn't be bad if this didn't cost me $26 bucks.

Hot and fresh fish. I recommend not coming here if you're in a rush or try ordering a head of time because they make you food fresh per order and that takes some time. I ordered the catfish fillets and fries. The only con is that I wished it was a bit more seasoned. I 7/10 recommend

Wanted to check this place out after seeing good reviews while in the area. You might miss it if you don't use your map, it's in a strip mall area behind a bank. It Definitely didn't disappoint! Surprisingly catfish is their speciality, given their name is chicken. It's one of the few, real southern cornbread battered catfish places I've seen in the Omaha area. Their fries are the thick, Louisiana style southern fries that go great with fried catfish. Or if you want tots, they have those too!All in all, I thought the food was flavorful, filling, and just the right amount of crispy!

Was passing through on our way to a family event and saw a few reviews for this place and decided to drop in for a late lunch and add it to our list of foodie reviews. This place is tucked in behind the Wells Fargo and next to Romeo's Mexican Restaurant near 96th and L. We took the whole foodie family to try evaluate the whole menu. A relatively small eatery with a limited menu. We ordered the blue cheese chicken sandwich, Buffalo chicken sandwich, Parmesan chicken sandwich, chicken fingers, tots, fries and the beignets.Counter service helpful and friendly. Overall the food was not great but okay. Tots were better than the fries. We expected blue cheese on the blue cheese sandwich, it was more of a blue cheese dressing drizzle. Buffalo chicken was decent, Buffalo flavor was decent but we prefer a stronger spicier Buffalo sauce. Chicken Parmesan was the best of the three. It was simple. The kids loved their chicken fingers and fries. Our combined score and disappointment was that the chicken sandwiches appeared to be chicken patties and not chicken breasts. Beignets were average, nothing fancy and a bit over priced. Take it for what it's worth, we are biased as our beignet standards are from New Orleans. We know most businesses must balance between quality ingredients and price, but we believe that this eatery is a bit heavy on price with lower emphasis on quality. +$70 for lunch for a family of 5.

We usually like to each try something different when we eat somewhere new, but today we all three had the catfish. Boy was that the right choice, as we all ate every drop and declared it the best catfish we had had in many, many years, if ever! The fish was lightly breaded in the most perfect, crispy cornmeal crust. Beautifully moist, perfectly cook, and as tender as warm butter! Tots were super tasty and so was the slaw! This has set a standard for us all when it comes to catfish! So happy Yelp has led us to yet another fantastic find. We're sure to return next time we pass through

Great fish! I really enjoyed the service as well. They're always friendly and welcoming.

Not much variety here. How many ways can you fry catfish? They also serve carp. Hope it doesn't come from the Missouri. They have wings and gizzards. The gizzards are over cooked and tough. Too bad. They could star. Not everyone knows how to cook them. However, this place has a surprise for diners familiar with Cajun food. They have beignets and they are very good. If you like catfish and want to try beignets, this is your place.
