    Server sweeping next to our table.

    Ordered the combination plate, 2 catfish fillets. Really, more like catfish sticks. They were 4" long, 3/4" wide and 1/2" thick, but there's was 2 of them. The 4 boiled shrimp, fair, 4 fried shrimp, fair, stuffed crab ok. Service was mediocre, hate to see plates scrapped into a tub in the dining room. Sweeping the hardwood while folks are eating, GROSS. Food was fair, service, fair to gross. Il definitely drive on by next time.

    I wasn't impressed by the food here at all! I ordered the combination plate with catfish, fried shrimp and boiled shrimp. The literally gave me 2 tiny filet pieces! The shrimp were small as well! Definitely not worth the price. The hush puppies were good. This place is a no for me..

    Have been by this restaurant heading into Jackson on Hwy 45 from the South hundreds of times in my lifetime. You can't miss it with the distinctive log cabin and huge catfish sign. Haven't ventured far from home for over a year now because of COVID, but tonight we were pleasantly surprised to try this rustic throwback to old time for the first time on the way into Jackson. Catfish, hushpuppies and slaw are a mainstay in this area of the South near the Tennessee River. Years ago you had a choice of many small, local establishments which did them well. Today it is much harder to find quality and consistency. Tonight at the Catfish Cabin, they were hitting home runs on all three. The fried catfish fillets were done perfectly, lightly breaded and the fish was tender and moist. Both the mayo and vinegar slaw were outstanding, but the vinegar was really distinctive with the sharpness of the vinegar and a perfect balance of sweetness. The hushpuppies were the best I've had in years. We also tried the blackened catfish which you don't find often in this area. I've always been a fan of blackened fish since this cooking technique was developed by Paul Prudhomme in the late 1980's for redfish. The problem is many restaurants blacken fish but use an innocuous and bland blend of spices which contribute nothing to the fish. The Catfish Cabin's blackened catfish is as close to Paul Prudhomme's seasoning as I've ever tasted and it is good. The menu is surprising in the variety, I look forward to returning and trying a few more items that looked interesting.

    As usual, if it tastes this good, it can't be good for you. I went there to try the blackened catfish and hushpuppies. Both were outstanding!! The hushpuppies may have been the best I've eaten and I am from the south! They melt in your mouth....absolutely delicious. The blackened catfish did not disappoint and was well seasoned without being overly salty or spicy. The southern, traditional coleslaw went well with the catfish and hushpuppies. I will take away 1 star for the slightly warm baked potato. Overall, the food was very good, and the service was excellent and friendly. I'm going back one more time before I leave town. :-)

    The hushpuppies and Coleslaw that come with the meal are served first as an appetizer. The hushpuppies were some of the best I have ever had. The Coleslaw was a little to vinegary for my taste. It took a while for or entrees to arrive so I ate way too many hushpuppies. The iced tea was very good. My catfish entrée was channel catfish filets prepared perfectly.italian flat green beans that were a little too smoky flavored for my tastes but they are very popular with the locals. I thought the tarter sauce could use some dill weed and lemon but Catfish cabin has been in business 40 years so that's probably not going to happen. While I found several things lacking the locals really love this place so I guess it is just not my cup of tea so to speak.

    Catfish Cabin predates my existence. It will be here through the apocalypse and long thereafter. Everything here is fried. Literally everything. I do not know how people eat here on the regular and maintain a healthy lifestyle! We came here Sunday night to celebrate my grandmother's 89th birthday. We had a good time, service was good, and we appreciated the free peanut butter pie they gave her for the occasion. I hadn't been here in ages, and the food to me is a bit too overwhelming. I do not often eat fried food or at least to the extent of it being the whole meal. For someone who isn't use to it, you might have a hard time finding something here that you like. If you are all about the fried stuff then consider yourself in fried heaven. This isn't a 5 star establishment. It is a local restaurant that people from Jackson-Madison County and Chester County come to for family style cuisine after church or on the weekends. They are open daily. Crowds are on the weekends. Fried heaven awaits you!

    Tons of hush puppies!
