1/2 the menu for you to consider.
John D.

We had a craving for local fried fish so went to the Catfish King. I wish I'd tried it years ago. The food is tasty, very filling and the service very friendly. I chose the lunch special for $7.99 3 catfish strips, 2 hush puppies, coleslaw, home style French fries and a drink. Was more than I could eat and that rarely happens! Also, I found they have a 50% veteran discount, one per veteran. Since I and my sister are veterans we both got the discount. I would eat there regularly without a discount after trying it but with the discount will become an extreme regular! I noticed they also serve shrimp, oysters, and chicken fried steak so will have to report back after another visit!

Great catfish fried well. Great prices. French fries were good not soggy or old. Maybe a bit too many. Hush puppies were a bit strange, taste like the rest of the fried items. This restaurant as well as most others everywhere still serve ketshup with high fructose corn syrup. Come on take the leap to start changing our food for the better! Service is order at the counter. We ordered close to rush time and the food came out fast. Tables not too close to each other. No loud music or noise

This is a classic place to enjoy fried catfish and chicken. I've been eating here for 20 years. Their consistent quality is rare these days. Also they've added fried oysters and shrimp to the menu. While these late arrivals to the menu are very good, the namesake catfish is still "king" (pun intended). By they have a nice, fresh salad bar and delicious hush puppies with every meal. Prices are below average as an added bonus. If you're passing through Lufkin using the loop 287 bypass, give them a try.

Great fish! Try the cajun style! Good beans, cole slaw, and hush puppies! Fries could be better... but everything else makes up for those!

From what we could see, the kitchen looked clean and the drive-thru area was well kept. After a few minutes looking over the menu, a sweet young lady took our order and asked us to pull forward to the waiting area. About 20 minutes later, she brought out our food, explained how everything was packed, and we headed home. Once we got home, we were impressed with how nicely everything was packaged. We ordered the crawfish chowder--excellent, creamy, and loaded with meat and veggies! We also got the boudin egg rolls, which were large, crispy, and very tasty. And then the King Trio: King crab legs, Dungeness clusters, shrimp, potatoes, and corn. There was a great amount of King crab, and we added an extra Dungeness cluster, so it was definitely plenty of food. Everything was cooked perfectly, though a few bites were a bit salty--but still delicious. We'll definitely be going back to try more dishes... and we won't try to walk in next time! Bring cash for a tip! I didn't a felt really bad... I'll hook her up next time!

We were able to sit wherever we liked, and our waitress came by within about 30 seconds. She was super sweet, took our drink order right away, and returned promptly to take our meal order. The breakfast rush was still in full swing, but everything seemed to be running smoothly, and there were clearly plenty of regulars. Our food arrived in about five minutes, which was great. I got the three eggs and bacon with grits and biscuits. The eggs were scrambled just like I asked, the bacon was on the hard side, and the grits were pretty plain--but once I fixed them up, they were fine. The biscuits were delicious. My wife ordered the two eggs and bacon with hash browns and toast. They forgot to add the cheese she requested in her eggs, and her bacon was also pretty hard, but she enjoyed the hash browns and toast since both were cooked well. All in all, it's a solid spot for a quick breakfast, and we'll definitely give them another try--especially since it's close by and has a warm, inviting feel.

Great service very helpful and kind. The food was very good and came out quick, definitely would…read morerecommend coming here after camping at Angelina National Forest.
