What happened to this place? we were so looking forward to eating here again. The food wasn't near as good, the hushpuppies and shrimp batter not cooked all the way thru, catfish was burnt, all the food was cold. Waitress called us sweetie, not sure how to feel about that. Pretty disappointed overall. read more

Good catfish ... homey atmosphere... Caesar salad bar is top notch. Recently they changed the French fries and are now small and precooked. Not a good change. The mashed potatoes have changed as well and are not all fresh potatoes... off putting consistency. The fish is still good but not as high quality read more

Went with a group of eight people food taste and quality was not up to par. The sides were not fresh and overcooked mush. The food is way overpriced for the quality that was delivered. Service was OK but server failed to check on us enough times I even had to get a drink for myself. And the bill was way too high plus they built in a 20% automatic tip. This location is having problems we won't be back. read more

Food is all fried and has no flavor. This place could be so much better with a menu change and an actual spice rack! The bar didn't carry or was out of 3 alcohols that our table tried to order. read more

Totally unreasonable to charge for tartar sauce with hush puppies to go order. I get it and totally willing to pay for extra. I come here at least 3 times a week. But I'll reconsider my options before I come back!!! read more

The fish is always good and their sides. But avoid their shrimp at all costs as they do not know how to clean shrimp and they don't clean their shrimp. I ordered my food through Uber Eats and got delivered shitty shrimp. I will not be returning to this restaurant ever in my life and I've been eating here since they opened. read more

Catfish Parlour - Do not eat their shrimp as they do not clean their shrimp. Totally disgusting. - Seafood Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

The food was OK but not memorable. The service was mostly good and attentive, our waitress forgot to pick up our drinks from the bar until we reminded her. This is a large family food hall type place. Expect noisy kids playing games on their phones and loud conversations. Not a place for a romantic dinner. The seafood (catfish mostly) is breaded and deep-fried, but many types of their fish can be ordered grilled. Presentation was not fancy, just served on a paper lined 1/4 sheet pan tray. Portion sizes were fairly large and the sides were decent. My wife and I probably will not be back any time soon as it is not our style of restaurant for a fancy or even casual dinner outing. read more

Very good atmosphere and and food just a little overpriced but still very good spot I will always come back just that price is a little extra read more

Walking in to Catfish Parlour is like stepping back in time in a fun and delightful way - there's no place like it. Nostalgic, witty, Americana decor, complimentary hush puppy sticks, and delicious fried catfish with all the sides. The fried okra and mashed potatoes are delicious. Service is friendly and attentive. All around a fun family restaurant to stop by on a weekend afternoon. read more

Just love this place. Great service and food. Makes you feel right at home. Had a fun night out will be back

I ordered 2 catfish meals and the fish was terrible! It was barely any fish on the fillet! Small pieces with no fish full of grease! The shrimp were so small, they should be ashamed to see those size shrimp. Overall, very disappointed in this food . I would have given it zero stars but the coleslaw was decent! read more

The meal was excellent and Shawn helped us recreate past memories and talk about Catfish Parlour 1 Austin. The Jalapeño tartar sauce was amazing and another carryover from CP1. SHAWN 2? OR 1? Thank you for the fun and putting us in the corner....we will be back, over, and over....Doug and Jeanne. read more

Yes I recommend this restaurant, good food. Their pricing has forced my family from coming as much as we used to. As Seniors, their is good food for less money at many locations. I will always remember the saying, hogs get slaughtered, pigs get fat, much rather be a pig about pricing. read more

Curiosity got the best of us and we headed in for chicken fried steak after we saw people online recommend it. It was lunchtime and that meant they had a buffet. after going through the line and placing our order, we sat there a long time before I finally had to get up and ask someone for drinks, but it seemed like just an oversight, which is fine. The hush puppies were very odd. Maybe that is how they are supposed to be, but I found them to taste terrible and have a completely unexpected flavor. The mashed potatoes seem like the industrial powdered type with maybe real potatoes mixed in. The gravy seemed weak and the chicken fried steak was very tough and overcooked. The atmosphere is nice for what it is, but the food doesn't do them many favors. I would not recommend. read more

Love the place. Vintage like old times. Cajun catfish was amazing. Service with a smile

Catfish parlor lives! This Georgetown location has been open for a few years - but I used to frequent the location on 183 that is now for sale. Wonderful catfish, I love love love their hush puppies... This location makes hush puppies tubular - There beans are made with beer, and the jalapeño tartar sauce is scrumptious. Wonderful Texas hospitality... You walk in and before they ask you how many are in your party the question is would you like a cold beer... Take the cold beer with you to your table. This location does a great job... Same fantastic food, friendly service and all done at a reasonable price. read more

Now I love catfish, shrimp, good cold slaw and beans. Hush sticks with jalapeño dip. Now let's start with the fish. You can get it regular or spicy. I like mine cooked a little longer and jalapeño dip. Now I don't like bad cold slaw. What's bad slaw. Well it slaw that is drowning in mayo. This slaw is made the way I grew up. I call it vinegar slaw. So if you haven't had it that way, That's just sad Server the best in Texas. Yes most of them are older, but that's just it. They work for there money. They understand your not happy then they will not get a good tip. There awesome. If you like beer. Witch I have to have one when I here. I ask for a beer. They bring the bottle then I ask for the mug. It's a ice cold mug. Best beer I've had in awhile. read more

The service is a little slow even when not busy, you have to get up to go make your own salad. The inside of the place is pretty cool. Gives you an older days feeling looking at all the old signs and license plates. It's pretty cool. The food is good. They bring out sides in a big bowl with barely enough for two people. Fried shrimp was cooked right and not chewy or old. I could have given it 4 stars but the service just wasn't there. read more

My husband and I don't eat out that often so when we do, we expect it to be a treat or at least halfway decent. The quality of food at Catfish Parlor has gone down considerably. Crab cake appetizer smelled and tasted very fishy. Sent it back for fried green tomatoes instead, which were equally as horrible. Oysters as the main dish were overcooked, rubbery, and flavorless. Also took quite some time to get service even though there were very few customers there during that time. Price of eating out has gone up just enough for me to NOT want an experience like this ever again. Will not be going back. read more

Everything was excellent! From Edwardo the manager to Brandon our server, the bartender (sorry I did not get his name) to the food and drinks , it was sooooo good. We tried the le fleur cocktail and margarita and Mexican martini, all were delicious. Popcorn shrimp, fried catfish, fried oysters, cabbage, okra, blackeye pea salad. Again, not a single bad thing; I'd order all of it again. The hush puppies they bring to the table are long and skinny, way better than ball-shaped ones at most restaurants, plus the jalapeno dipping sauce, just so good. Ambience is cozy and cute, service was top notch. I cannot wait to go again! read more

Georgetown location. Their salad and vegetable bar is the best ever. I crave their black-eyed pea salad and would love that recipe. Also excellent service every time!!! read more

It was the best country restaurant I've ever been to and I loved I loved it so much that I would go there every day if my parents allowed me to also the hush puppies they were so good they were the perfect size and they are FREE!?! The catfish was also good perfectly cooked and fried which made it taste even better with the peach cobbler that paired great with the ice cream and the signs on the wall were so funny I love Catfish Parlor so much! read more

Cashier knowingly shorted me change with a smile on her face. All she had to do was give me a nickel instead of the 4 penny's she was missing. Won't be back. read more

Food is of high quality and wide selection of side dishes. The catfish pieces are nice sized fillets and not small scraps. The hush puppies are served fresh and hot with two types of tartar sauce, regular and spicy. The wait staff are very responsive and friendly. They check your beverages to verify whether you want a refill. I highly recommend this place. read more

We had a late lunch there on Sunday afternoon, June 1. Our server, Shaun, was so kind and friendly. Our food was delicious and served very quickly. Shaun was the exact right combination of helpful and generous. This restaurant is a longtime favorite of ours; we are never disappointed. read more

Today I decided to pick up some lunch from a well-known local spot here in Georgetown. This restaurant has a great family feel to it and its own unique identity with its decor. I would say it's a better idea to dine in as opposed to getting your grub to go. The staff is friendly and the place has a nice vibe about it. The quality of the food pretty much lives up to the price you pay for it. They do have a somewhat decent beer and wine selection although not much in the way of craft beer. We all enjoyed our all American selection which comes with four sides. You get a small container of pinto beans and coleslaw along with hush puppies and french fries. As for their other sides, the onion rings are probably the best choice. Next time we will go there to dine in. read more

This was a random lunch stop that was definitely worth it. They have al different sort of lunch special to fit your appetite. I went with the all American lunch special and added shrimp. Everything was hot and fresh to order. Good Catfish indeed. The sides were okay but nothing worth complaining about. Solid meal for lunch. read more

The food here was decent enough. The service was absolutely horrible. My friend and I were there to have dinner and my friend (a black woman) was completely ignored by our waitress. When my friend complained to the cashier, her concerns were completely dismissed and she was gaslit. I won't be going back there ever. @Owner - we were there Thurs night around 7 pm. We were seated in the corner next to the "Leg Lamp" read more

First and last time there, the food was pretty good but the service as awful so awful that I had to go to the manager. When I first got to the table to meet up with my friend, the waitress instantly had an attitude with me not once did she crack a smile at me but was super friendly and completely nice to my friend, not once did she look at me, every time she walked up to the table she would look at my friend or address my friend but not me. The only time she even looked my way was to take my food order and she was rude about that, that honestly should have been the moment I walked out. I watched her be a completely different person to everyone around me. She refilled my friends drink every time she walked up to the table, and it was time for the check my handed it to my friend ( I was the one paying) and asked her if she wanted a drink to go while completely ignoring my presence. It was so bad that I went to the manager and all he could say was "sorry she is usually really nice". Yeah to nice to everyone but me - the only POC in the restaurant at the time. Between the crappy service and half a$$ apology I am completely turned off by this place and won't be coming back ever. I am honestly pretty disgusted. read more

I first tried Catfish Parlour's food at a music festival earlier this year and loved it. I recently had a chance to eat at the restaurant. Some of the best catfish I've ever had. Whether you get the spicy or the regular, you can't go wrong... but you might as well try both! Don't forget the hush puppies and jalapeño tartar sauce! I can't say enough great things about my experience here. Great service and great food. The decor also really ties everything together and gives a cool old school feeling to really set a vibe for your meal. read more

If you're into Louisiana-style food, this definitely isn't the spot for you! If you've been to Louisiana, you'd really need to stretch your imagination to taste any of that amazing food at Catfish Parlor! I tried their fried oysters, and honestly, they were pretty gross. I also ordered the gumbo, and it was a huge letdown. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place! read more

Great food, service and ambiance. This place has it all! We come here every so often after church. It's nice to see such friendly people and great customer service. Getting harder to find that these days. We must recently came for Mother's Day, and then this past weekend for Father's Day. On Mother's Day, I got greeted with a nice glass of sparkling wine. My husband got the cutest fishing lure. They also had the Dads pick an envelope and got another surprise. It was a gift card for our next visit. Wish I took pictures of the food, but it was gone too fast! read more

Food was amazing and quick. I hadn't been to this one and I loved it just as much as the one in Austin proper.

We have eaten at Catfish Parlour in Georgetown for many years. We are very disappointed since they recently changed their side options. They changed there original fries and they are dry and tough. Wish they would bring the old ones back! The beans are also different, they are mushy. Also if you order a 3-pk or 6-pk family meal. The fries and hush puppies are no longer automatic so you need to ask. read more

Great atmosphere, good food. We hardly go out with our 2 little kids, but we were waited on quickly and food came out quickly. The server was absolutely top tier. She was so sweet with my boys and my oldest has been asking about going back "to the fish store" lol first time there and we will be back read more

Oh how I miss this place. Used to visit often when I lived in Georgetown but it's a little out of range. Then they closed the one on 183 . So I was in the area and had to get nostalgic. It tastes exactly the same as years past. Shrimp was cooked perfect and crispy, sides were delicious, spicy catfish was yum. Even the salad was good for as simple as it is. I forgot how much I love their ranch dressing. I even bought a tub of it to go. I might have to sneak up that way again soon. Oh... and it's super filling. Make sure you go on a guilt free day. You'll find yourself wanting just one more bite of everything. read more

Disappointing to go order. And we order fairly often. What I ordered and what we received did not match. No hush puppies with our order- how does that happen with a fish and jumbo shrimp combo?. I added a large fried shrimp to our order. Did not receive. Had to go back in and order. Received 1 small tartar sauce- On my order I requested both plain and spicy. This was not a busy time- before 5pm on a Friday. I typically don't leave negative reviews but this experience was not up to their usual service. My fault for not verifying order before I left. read more
