    We got a family dinner of catfish filet and realized this isn't real catfish this Swai. Its to big thick and long to be real catfish and it even tastes different. When you go to a place with the name catfish in it you expect real catfish. We even called to ask and was lied to like we're not supposed to know any better. On top of that our carryout container were burned and melted together and our fried and hush puppies are a soggy mess. I really wanted to like this place. Called to get a refund and they flat out refuse.

    Food is good except chicken strips, no quality meat, it is minced up something or another like you would get at McDonalds in chicken nuggets.

    This is now one of our new spots while traveling. The catfish and coleslaw was good and the pinto beans was very good, well seasoned. Our Server was warm, friendly, attentive and down to earth. I would prefer to hush puppies not be fried as hard but everything else great! Sorry didn't do photos, we tore that food up 😋‼️
