"Best catfish in the whole world to me and my hubby Tom. We used to go every Saturday night. My eye surgeries have been the reason. It's family owned and makes everyone that comes there feel like family too. Everything's good. Shrimp, Oysters, and the whole menu is Awesomeness in your Mouth."

"I happened upon this family restaurant on my way back from a golf outing. I was hungry and still nearly an hour from home. I made a U-turn, pulled into the gravel parking lot, and went inside. I seated myself and listened to country folks chatting about the lack of rain, ponds drying out, crops failing. Within just a few minutes of ordering, my 3-piece catfish filet dinner came out. Sides included cole slaw, greens, hush puppies, and just the right amount of french fries. The food was great! I'm not a big fan of greens, but I've got to say, these were awesome! Friendly staff; delicious food; down home atmosphere. One could not ask for more! I'll be back for sure!"

"Great staff (waitress had worked there since she was 10) and good food. I did not get the fish nor the frog legs but everyone else enjoyed them. I was treated with kind service. Meal was hot shrimp, oysters, hush puppies, greens and fries, as well as cole slaw and onion slices......what a meal"

"We were invited to a birthday party for a friend at Family Fish House. First time I ever ate there. Pretty dang good for me. I had the whole catfish plate and it was pretty good with the greens (a little too sweet) and slaw, and fixins'. Normal 'fish-house' fare. My wife had the fried shrimp and it was kinda overdone and didn't 'sit' well with her. Overall, a fine establishment."
