Hush puppies could be marketed by Titleist. Catfish was dry, as if filets were left in flour/cornmeal dredge for too long. Grilled shrimp on po-boy lacked any flavor. Over-priced and under-seasoned. read more

This place was so interesting! It's one of the more busy places we went on our trip. You order at the counter and there's a lot to choose from, we just came for catfish. The Catfish was good, crispy and they gave A LOT as well shared this one. The sides were not worth getting. We are from STL so we are used to onion , pickle and a slice of white bread - that would've made the meal a little better. I gave it 3 stars because I'm not sure about the rest of the options but the catfish is for sure worth going for and we will be back! The service was also fine, nothing great or terrible . read more

Catfish Charlie's catered an event for us Coca‑Cola Bottling Company UNITED Monroe ,and they did a wonderful job. The food was delicious, fresh, and a big hit with our team. The staff was friendly, professional, and made everything easy from start to finish. We truly appreciated the great service and quality food. We would happily recommend Catfish Charlie's for catering and look forward to using them again! -- Coca‑Cola Bottling Company UNITED read more

This was our third time at CC's. The last time, the service was incredibly slow. This time we got our food quickly. We got the thin and crispy catfish. It was good, as were the fries. However, it wasn't $75 good. Plus, the restaurant was dirty and tired looking, both inside and out. My family agreed, these days, tired old restaurants with sticky floors and propped-open doors just don't get it done when there's a shiny brand new Raisin Canes right down the street with excellent food and clean tables at half the price. We probably won't be back. read more

We stopped here on our way to Texas on a Sunday for lunch. The place was busy. We quickly ordered at the counter and found a table. We ordered two jumbo shrimp poboys and 2 kids catfish boats. Our food wait was less than 10 minutes. The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall in a desolate part of town, but it was delicious. The inside decor was fun for the kids and adults. The restaurant is a little smoky from the kitchen so be prepared to smell like lunch. It added to the ambiance for us. read more

I tried my first ever Po' Boy here and I gotta say it's pretty lack luster. The gator bites were heavily battered, but still good nevertheless. The whole building was full of smoke from the food cooking and I walked out smelling like it. It's a nice place for a one time visit, but I don't see myself going out of my way to eat here. read more

Great food, service is good. It has great ambience for a Catfish restaurant I eat there often at least once every other week or twice every other week. read more

All the food is amazing. Best coleslaw ever. I want to try everything. Have had catfish and shrimp Excellent !

Good food, nice and fresh tasting. Enjoyed my plate very much. There's no service involved, since you order at a counter and seat yourself. Was not happy about all the additional charges for making a change to the plate, especially the service charge. The restaurant was clean and very well organized. read more

We were driving through the area on Memorial Day and had a hard time finding a spot open. We called Catfish Charlie while at an empty parking lot of another restaurant and was happy to find someone answered. We drove over and found the restaurant next to a shopping center. The menu is up front and you order, get a buzzer, sit down, and grab your food. There are a lot of options from baskets to plates to burgers to salads. There are a lot of side options as well, including mac and cheese and grilled veggies. Hubs ordered a grilled shrimp po boy and had the option of popcorn or gulf shrimp and blackened or not. He chose popcorn, not blackened. The Po boy was delicious and the shrimp came through. It came with fries, a nice unexpected. I opted for the catfish strip basket which came with hushpuppies and fries. I asked for grilled veggies in lieu of fries and found the veggies had good flavor. The catfish was breaded in cornmeal and had a nice crisp. The hushpuppies are good, though I found the veggies as the better side. Service is efficient and kind here. I love the family vibe and friendly atmosphere. Definitely stop by! read more

Love Catfish Charlie's! I never really liked catfish until we started going to Catfish Charlie's, I usually get the Shrimp which are always delicious anyway you like them! But started getting the shrimp and fish combo and asked them to make my fish thin and crispy. Omgosh I love catfish now! Their food never disappoints!!! Great friendly service!! And love the atmosphere there! It reminds me of the old days when my Poppy was fishing! With all the old antique stuff on the walls! Highly recommend them for excellent food and service!! read more

Been going to the restaurant for many years!! Always been very good food especially the catfish. My only complaint would be the prices are high read more

They were packed and for good reason! I ordered 1 pound of boiled shrimp, which came with 2 potatoes and 1 corn. Honestly, the shrimp were so big I could've ordered a half a pound because I ended up giving some away to the other people in my party! The shrimp were huge! I had to take two bites per shrimp. Everything was boiled with a nice seasoning, nothing to spicy or Cajun. Just a beautiful blend of seasoning. It was served with a side of butter and you could grab Tony's if you needed an extra kick. We didn't wait more than five minutes and our buzzer was going off to pick up food. They had people standing standing at the door. They know how to get the food out in a timely manner! The restaurant was clean and orderly. The staff was working with smiles on their faces. And overall great experience! read more

This food changed my life, brought me to tears mid meal. Had cancer, one order of fried catfish and it was gone. The owners son, Jack, sprinted to make sure I got my food on time. The ambiance, well just magnificent, somebody tried to rob the place, the owners son once again drop kicked him into outer space. Had no choice but to stand up applaud this restaurant for their hard work, good food, and feeling of safety while being in there. read more

Based on reviews I was so looking forward to a good meal, I was so disappointed. The thin and crispy catfish was nothing but skin - no flesh. The jumbo shrimp was tasteless, the corn tasted like it wasn't cooked. One bite of the hush puppy was more than enough. On a high note the staff was friendly and the customer service top notch read more

Food is alright, nothing special, but they are busting heads with their prices. Jesus Christ, $20+ for grilled fish and a few slivers of squash, didn't even give me the double order of veggies I asked for when they offer 2 sides. Then charged for a water cup lol... Nice enough people I guess but the prices are greedy af. I can cook this same meal with double the portion for a quarter of the price. Won't be coming back. read more

This is a very good casual dining place for catfish and seafood. The service is always fast and friendly. It is a solid go to!

Solid 3 for perfectly prepared fish and shrimp! Stopped here on our drive home to Texas from Alabama. I ordered a shrimp and fish basket with fries and hush puppies. Also asked for a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo. Hubby and daughter both got cheeseburgers and fries. I asked for the fish to be overcooked and it was perfectly cornmeally crispy. Squeezed lemon on it and it was divine! I had the shrimp with their house made cocktail sauce...so darn good! Nice little kick. Burgers cost them a star. They were dry, overcooked, and way too bread-y. Service was helpful and staff were cleaning tables as soon as someone left. If they weren't 5 hours away, I'd make this trip monthly. Can't wait to try the cake later...too full of shrimp and fish. read more

11/25/22: We stopped by for an early dinner. The place was very clean and the staff was friendly. They have a great menu, and the restaurant has a "down home" feel to it. There's plenty of parking available and plenty of seating inside. We had catfish and shrimp platter and it was pretty good. Would definitely visit again! read more

I went through the drive through and ordered 2 grilled chicken plates. One order should have had a ceasar salad and vegetables. The other order should have been 4 shrimp plus 1 filet, macaroni and cheese. and mashed potatoes. None of this should have been fried well when we got our order the only thing we received was 2 orders of fried okra. 1 order of french fries and 2 fried catfish fillets. I paid $43 for my food and that was not what I received. If you go through the drive thru please check your order before you leave, so you don't pay for food you didn't receive. read more

The fries reminded me of five guys somewhat and were the best part of the meal. The chicken would've been better if the breading would've stuck to the chicken better and if the tenders were more tender. The mashed potatoes tasted like hobby lobby. The hush puppies were confusing as it was my first time eating them, I guess it's just fried nothing. The water didn't taste drinkable. Overall, a unique restaurant that's a good spot for tourists to try. read more

Cute and quaint establishment in northern Louisiana. Walked in not knowing what to expect as the windows were tinted it was something of a crapshoot. Turned out to be pretty good though. Bought the 3 pieces chicken basket. Employee gave me soda cup without asking (that's what I wanted). Chicken was good, fries were better, hush puppies were confusing and distressing. I was unable to process how to eat them. The sodas all tasted the same but ice was tasty. There was one ceiling fan that wobbled and looked as though it was about to fall. I was pleased to see almost an equal amount of black and white people. Overall good place to unwind and grab a bite. A real diamond in the rough read more

Ordered the fried fish and shrimp didn't disappoint. Really enjoyed had the okra and Mac and cheese.

Food was great, we would definitely go back if we are in the area! I got the thin cat fish which I love catfish but never had it thin & crispy & my son got the shrimp basket & frog legs. He said the frog legs were amazing, tasted like chicken & his shrimp & fries were great too. The employees were super helpful too, my son added to the order several times & they were super accommodating to ensure it all came out together. read more

Omg I love catfish Charlie but a little bit too deep into my money even if you get a family meal but great catfish.

I ordered a Cajun fried turkey from Catfish Charlie's for Thanksgiving. This was the biggest mistake that I have ever made! The turkey was a malnourished, hard, inedible mess!!! We literally could not eat it. The turkey was fried so hard that we couldn't pull it from the bone. To make matters worse, it was very expensive. We paid a whopping $80 for something we couldn't eat! Shame on you Catfish Charlie!!! read more

I order the jumbo catfish platter with fries! Apparently the portion size has changed as I only had 6 shrimp on my platter. The shrimp were fried to a golden brown, too bad they didn't have any flavor. Absolutely no seasoning! No salt, no pepper! Nothing!!! This was first time visiting and it will be my last.. read more

i'm on the fence with this place. As far as the food, the fish is good as far as the price, it's a little bit. Pricey for a regular meal service is hit-and-miss. The ambience of the place is nothing special. read more
