I got a catfish dinner to go. Very nice staff that brought it to me quickly. The food was so good! The restaurant is decorated very nice with fishing poles and paintings on the wall. Lots of room for big parties read more

Over priced for mediocre food at best. Wait staff is awesome though just their food sucks. I've tasted better in other towns.

Service was terrible , my wife's food was wrong , and my catfish was cold . Had to wait 20 minutes before a server came to take our order . We would have sent everything back but we didn't want to have to wait another 30 minutes for our food . It wasn't like they were busy . There were only 3 other tables at the time . So they were not busy . It took about 20 minutes to get a burger , onion rings and a fish and shrimp . Burger was made wrong and my fish was cold . Then the manager said we did everything wrong by not complaining. We didn't want to have to wait forever to get new food made . Don't waste your time and money on food that is not good and service that takes forever. read more

The catfish is awesome. Very good. it's a great lunch special. I just don't like it that they're not open enough. They should be open more during the week. read more

I'm from the south (Houston)and I love good southern food and hospitality. I'm in town for work and I found this place and all you can eat fish and shrimp was a great selling point plus the food looks good online. So I stopped in and ordered the Wednesday all you can eat special before Christmas break. The atmosphere was clean and everyone was welcoming. Upon being seated I ordered the special and sweet tea. The food came quickly and was fresh. It looked delicious so I could not wait to eat. The fish was hot and fresh and lightly seasoned. Nothing a good hot sauce could not fix. HOWEVER the fried shrimp was DISRESPECTFULLY SALTY. It was so salty that I couldn't even eat them. So I cut them up and put them in my beans which needed the help because they were bland. I said to myself that I would try again another day and not judge them by one visit. So I went back by today after work. When I arrived I was treated warm and welcoming by the staff there. I asked for the same special again but I remembered the salty shrimp. So I asked that they be lightly salted. The food came swiftly and was hot and looking good. I took one bite and immediately noticed that the shrimp again were disrespectfully salty again to the point tho couldn't eat them. I literally lost interest in my food and immediately and sent it to the trash. My waitress was wonderful. Plus she was attentive plus the food being inedible was not her fault. I tipped her well. I went to the register with my ticket. I was asked if I had enough by the Sam older lady that was behind the register my first visit. I replied that the shrimp was so salty that I couldn't eat them. She mentioned that the cook has a heavy hand with the seasonings. Which I don't understand because you can get a better cook who doesn't over season the food. She said that it may be a bit spicy. I stopped her and said "no it's way too salty. So salty that I didn't eat my food. Which was a perfect opportunity for her to make it right. However she only asked me "cash or card?" Charged me full price and offered excuses for the inedible food. This is inexcusable. Instead of listening to your customers you take accountability lightly and offer excuses instead of fixing the problem in the kitchen. I'm not ever going back to catfish corner again.

Be very Careful when ordering a baked potato here.They have a bad habit of always under cooking them Just be sure that the potato itself is hot not just the foil it is wrapped in read more

This plate was a bit disappointing. I don't like leaving negative reviews but I feel that some cooks don't care how food turns out because it's just a to go order. This shrimp was not edible. But it don't hurt their pockets just mine and now I'm left with no dinner. Some of aren't able to go sit at a restaurant. We work too hard for our money to get taken advantage of. read more

Catfish Corner - Shrimp plate, fries and hush puppies. - Seafood Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

My family and I went here for lunch today! I definitely recommend! Everything is battered in house and it's bomb! My husband got the Chicken Fried Steak and enjoyed it a lot. My kids got the chicken nuggets (also hand battered) and they couldn't have been happier! I got the Catfish (extra crispy per my choice) and mannn it was so good. Our waitress was super sweet and extremely helpful! We are definitely looking forward to coming back to the Catfish Corner! read more

Four of us dined there for supper on 6/28. We use to love this place & always ordered the same thing. We were extremely disappointed. The fried shrimp & onion rings were flavorless. A little salt or Cajun seasoning would've helped! On the other hand, our server, Stevie was the best! So kind & hard working! read more

The food was awful. Got fish plates and it was cooked so long there wasn't any fish just breading. It was so tough I didn't even eat it. I wasn't the only one at the table that complained. And we spent 200.00 dollars and they didn't even offer a part of our money back. The service was great. Will not recommend it to no one. Was very dissatisfied. read more

Not a luxury place but man the fish and chicken are really great tasting, if you like fish you'll like this place

I have a lot of good memories from this place from when I attended ASU. The food was cheap and pretty decent from what I remember. The fish was always fresh and the hush puppies were good. Wouldn't mind give it a try while I'm in town read more

Perfect cook on everything I tried the crispiness of the breading, perfect seasoning, and texture of the fish was the star of the show. Clean place and service was very friendly and prompt. I'm thoroughly impressed and jealous that it isn't local to me in DFW. read more

Catfish Corner - Catfish and shrimp combo. - Seafood Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

Don't go at lunch if you don't have time. I took my daughter before her appointment at 1:00. We were told they'd seat us in a second, there was a line at the register. As soon as the last person got to the register more came, so we kept waiting. By the time they finished at the register they had time to sit one person before another line formed. Finally it was our turn to be seated and another couple came in and they sat them bypassing us. After 20 minutes of this we finally left and had to eat after the appointment. I'm sure the food is good but the organization during the lunch hour was not. read more

Catfish Corner has been a San Angelo staple, and a resilient one at that. While a catastrophic fire would kill most businesses, they bounced back. The AYCE is the usual go-to, but honestly these portions are C. R. A. Z. Y. I usually go with Catfish/Chicken plate and im still getting a to go plate. This place sticks out in my mind for 2 things: 1. Great habanero sauce 2. Chicken.... FRIED.... B. A. C. O. N. Real talk, this a good southern food establishment. Froglegs, CFB, Onion Rings, hush puppies, Catfish. I don't go here with the mindset of eating clean You need to expect fried food and just dive in to that crispy fried goodness. Get some of that bacon, and DONT turn up your nose. A true foodie will give them and the froglegs a try just so they can say they did it. I haven't explored too much on the menu. The appetizers are good, but for reals, don't over do it you get A LOT of food on your order. Come hungry.... read more

Catfish Corner - Seafood Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

Seems like Hispanics are frowned upon. Been there a few times and every time we walk in we get dirty looks from everyone especially the employees. But they don't react the same as when a white person walks in. They do have Hispanic help so not sure what the deal is but we left shortly after being seated because we felt super uncomfortable. read more

I understand that going out on a Friday night, restaurants are busy. But we walked in and right away were told once we order it would be a 45 minute wait to get our food. We decided to take a chance because we wanted fish. They sat us down quickly but we noticed more empty tables and thought okay it shouldn't take long. Well another big table was seated after us and we noticed they ordered drinks and were served and then after awhile they took their food order. Well all this time my family and I just sat there waiting for someone to take our drink order. After waiting and then seeing the table next to us finishing their dinner we decided to walk out. No one stopped us or asked us what was wrong. As we walked by the register a staff member asked another employee "are they leaving". I stopped to say "Yes we are." Thanks lady y'all can go back to eating your cookies and ignoring the other customers. read more

I give one star because there's not an option to give less...walk in, place an order to go, PAY 9.75, sit down and wait...and wait...and wait. 30 min later, still no food, and so I ask. MY ORDER WAS NEVER TURNED IN!!! Oh, but if I can wait 10-15 min they'll cook it now! No thanks, I have places to be! So out of pocket 10 bucks, 30min waisted, and blood sugar crashing I have to cancel an appointment to find something else to eat before I pass out. And the bad thing, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED!!!! read more

Had a dinner with my Aunts. most of the food in the menu were fried food. I was surprised how much the food was. But it was kinda salty taste. Service was kinda slow. read more

I really want to give this place 4 stars, but I can't get over a couple of things having to do with service. We will try it again, and next time I'm getting the catfish!! The good: facility is clean and bright with TVs on (not loudly). The food was great; at least, the man's burger was fantastic, my steak fingers were alittle better than okay. Onion rings are pretty legit. The bad: IT TOOK 45 MINUTES for our food to reach us!! We came in for lunch so had to choke it down and take off in order to get back to work, and my boyfriend was still late. Our infuriating, dim-witted, speed-of-sloth-moving waitress refused to bring me butter, as she is sure (without asking) that they only have the partially hydrogenated soybean crap she tried to pass off in the first place. Ugh. read more

The fish was very good. The shrimp was odd because it was butterflied and very flat and fried crispy. The beans were undercooked. Hush puppies and fries were very good. Service was good. This was my first visit so I will give it one more try and just get fish read more

Got boiled shrimp, when it came out it was cold so I figured it was just a cocktail shrimp, bit into it and it was mushy, feeling nauseous after getting home, hopefully not food poisoning or bad shrimp. read more

This wasn't our first time to eat here, the food was mostly hot, the fried catfish plate was awesome. The server was attentive and kept up with our refills of tea and water. I didn't give a five star rating just because I had pinto beans and they weren't hot. read more

Catfish Corner - Yes, PB&J is on the menu.... - Seafood Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

One of my fave spots. The catfish is good. Homemade steak fries and homemade onion rings are all soooo good. I like the shrimp but be prepared it has been flattened out. read more

The boiled shrimp was nice and plump. I ordered the all you can eat shrimp @ $15.99. I do not like to feel like a bother when I ask for more, and I certainly do NOT want to wait long for it. Thankfully, I'd already decided to take the baked potato to go so I could have my fill of shrimp because the spud was not cooked. The onion rings we ordered as an appetizer had little flavor and were far from crisp. The batter needs LOTS of work. Overall, it was a disappointment. The service was subpar. One napkin for dinner. We had to ask for everything we needed....more than once. A good server foresees common needs...napkins, tea, water, more shrimp..... I won't go back! read more

Fish is cooked perfectly, most of the time. All you can eat catfish and shrimp on Wednesday. If you have a big appetite the all you can eat is the way to go. Restaurant is clean. Bathrooms are private and clean. The tea has a funky instant flavor. I would recommend water or soda to drink. My family and I enjoy a visit here when we get the fish craving. Cost is on par or better than you think for the portions. read more

Catfish Corner - All you can eat fish and shrimp on Wednesday! - Seafood Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

Getting better. The atmosphere's still a bit sterile but the food is closer to the way it used to be.

Nice place. Staff are very friendly and food is cooked fresh for you. The bottle caps and onion rings are huge orders but that's good! Great fish too. I thought the fillets seemed small but they were enough. read more

The hushpuppies weren't done for starters. But the kicker was paying $16 for boiled shrimp that was freezer burned, chewy and sticky. The manager wouldn't even come to our table after the waitress told her the issue. The only solution they would give was to let me order something else. When i checked out I asked if a discount could be given since I didnt want to attempt anything else, but was told they had no other solution. She even argued with me that the shrimp was fresh. Doubt the shrimp had seen water in years. BAD FOOD. SHITTY MANAGEMENT FIRST AND LAST TIME I WILL EVER WASTE MY MONEY THERE!!!!!!!! read more

Catfish Corner - Seafood Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

I visited with my folks because it's one of their favorite family-owned restaurants in town. The food is prepared to order and is worth the time. The catfish was cooked perfectly; the hushpuppies were flavorful. The salad was fresh. The real stars of this show are the onion rings and French fries. We alway have a good experience with the wait staff. read more

I'm sorry but the fish here is very strange. I was given a plate of tough, overcooked fish strips that from what I could tell were probably fried, frozen, shipped to the restaurant, and then re-heated. The salad that came with my dinner was limp and the thousand island dressing, which I assumed contained mayonnaise did not seem to have been refrigerated. The baked potato was cold, almost raw in the middle, and dry. I assume that it was leftover from previous days. This place has been in business for a long time but if you like catfish save your money and go somewhere else. I am not sure that the fish strips I was served were even catfish. It was not a filet but rather a sliver of fish that was over-battered. I don't go to this type of restaurant for ambience and it is a good thing as there is none in this large, sterile dining room. read more

I've been a five star fan for many years... I visited 11/20/2019 and experienced the worst.

I hadn't eaten here since before it burned so the hubs and I wanted to try it again tonight. Delicious. Even the small plate was too much for me. The owner/manager though. She needs s little employee management class. Quite disturbing to watch her berate two employees right in front of us. Like my mama said.....you catch a lot more flies with honey than with vinegar. I feel sorry for her employees. Maybe she needs to stay in the back with the catfish. These employees were super hard working and gracious. read more

I tell you one place in this town of San Angelo, Tx we won't be going back to. We were never real fan of the fried catfish from this restaurant but when the choices are limited we made the big mistakes of going back to eat. But never again. We both order a all you can eat catfish plate. I barely ate two off my plate and I get that on all you can eat deals "no biggie bags", I don't dispute that. BUT when you pay for a plate of food with no refills it's your food and should be allowed to take home. The manager and owner of Catfish made it quite clear she didn't care what you thought of her restaurant, you are not taking home your leftovers. She clearly doesn't care if I posted this here or anywhere else. I wonder what she would have done if I would have put them in my purse, tackle me down. She was rude besides looking a little rough. So i didn't try, lol. Well never again, oh the catfish is over fried and hard. Good friend, onion rings and the coleslaw is wilted with a lot of sugar added. Oh on all you can eat, it's one at a time with a10 minute in between. You have to play their game if you want all you can eat. I have to give it one star to post but clearly doesn't deserve even a one. read more

The catfish was yummy. The waitress was so great! She was friendly, and good at her job. I recommend for the food and the service!!

I experienced the worst customer service tonight at Catfish Corner, in San Angelo, Texas! We went to dinner this evening craving catfish, but we were not satisfied with the food or the way we were treated.... We felt like we were being discriminated against due to being the only family in the restaurant that wasn't Caucasian/white. Please judge for yourself As I tell you a story.... As we walk in the owner, of the establishment, greeted us with "just sit in this area and ____ will be your server" we seated ourselves in the area she directed. As we sat, waiting for our food, I notice she was watching us. At first, I tried to ignore her but eventually I got annoyed with her. I told Joe how uncomfortable I felt, but I did not complain to anyone else. When our food arrived, at the table, we began eating and I noticed a piece of HAIR on my food. It was small and black. I showed the hair to my husband then I quietly gestured to get the servers attention. When she came to the table I showed her what I noticed on my food. She left for a moment and requested more catfish to be made. Then she came back to the table, with a plate, to take the food I didn't want away from the table. (The server did her job perfectly) I noticed the owner followed the server back to the kitchen. (This was a nice relief, as I now felt like I could relax. Because she kept staring at us, with a look of disgust, on her face. Before anyone suggests I am paranoid, I should tell you, we were seated against the wall and No one was around us.) When the server returned to our table with "fresh" catfish, the owner of Catfish Corner accompanied her.... The owner then told me "there wasn't any HAIR on your food. I pulled it apart and I didn't see any HAIR. It was pepper, but we had them make you more anyways." (The food they brought back was warm at best) I told her I disagreed, but didn't say anything else because I didn't know who she was. I later asked the server if there was anyone else I could speak with about the issue because I didn't like her attitude or the fact that she was arguing with me about what I saw on MY PLATE. At that time I was informed that she was the OWNER of the restaurant. So I waited until we were paying for our food to confront this lady. Me: "I have NEVER seen pepper a half inch long and so thin." Her: "it wasn't that long" At this point, I was getting extremely upset and I can't remember everything else that was said. But basically she continued to argue with me until I finally got tired of going in circles with this racist person and informed her... "This is not how you should conduct business. If people knew how badly you treat your customers, your business would not continue to flourish. You can not treat people like this" She shrugged her shoulders in a gesture saying she didn't care then told us "SO.. Have a good day and come back" in a rude and sarcastic tone. We walked out peacefully but WE WILL NEVER RETURN! I have never been treated like that. She was rude from the moment we walked into that building. She seemed very inviting to all of the white families. She even walked them to their tables, (instead of pointing in a general direction) she made conversation and smiled as white families came into Catfish Corner. (Instead of giving directions and not even saying hello to us) She Stared at us, making us extremely uncomfortable then decided we were liars and called us just that. read more

Oh my god, this place is amazing. The food is so greasy and delicious. I ate there 3 times in 1 week because I couldn't get enough. It can't be good for you but it sure is good. The only thing I've ever ordered is the large catfish plate which comes with a huge helping of fried catfish, fresh-cut fries or a baked potato, and beans, tossed salad, or coleslaw, all for 8.99. You can get the all-you-can-eat plate for only a buck more. If you're not that hungry you can order the small plate for about 6 bucks. They have more on the menu, I'm just mentioning the most popular items. The waitresses are really nice people too. read more

I have always had an affinity for catfish, as I was practically raised on it. My grandparents had a ranch outside of San Saba, TX, so we would go catfishing quite often. Nothing compares to fresh caught catfish fried up the very day you pulled it out of the water. But whenever I have a hankering for catfish, this is the place I go. I never order anything except the all-you-can-eat catfish, so I cannot comment on any other entrees. I have never had bad catfish here. The fried bacon is tasty, if not unhealthy, and sits very heavy in your stomach. It tastes good but it is hard to eat more than a couple of pieces. You should always save room for the catfish. All-in-all a good restaurant. If you are ever in the mood for catfish I would recommend Catfish Corner. read more

The unsophisticated Yelp reviewer strikes again! Lots of catfish, unhealthy sides, & a diner atmosphere await you at this establishment. The catfish is definitely tasty and cooked to order so if you're going for the all-you-can-eat crown, it might take some time. No worries though as the friendly waitstaff will tell you stories of their childhood or the failed attempts of other customers. Listen, the food is great, service is very attentive, & the atmosphere is very diner-licious, so if you want southern style seafood at it's best, look no further than Catfish Corner. read more
