    Cajun style fish and shrimp
    Sherrill J.

    L ordered iced tea and I had a XX. L ordered Cajun style Fish and Shrimp with fried okra, French fries and pinto beans as sides. I ordered the Seafood Feast with corn nuggets, fried okra and pinto beans as sides. The Seafood Feast had 3 oysters, 3 jumbo shrimp and 3 catfish fillets. It came with a cup of shrimp and crawfish gumbo. It was very good. The oysters were less than expected. Everything else we had was prepared perfectly. Our server was friendly and attentive. There were two of us at lunch. When I looked at the bill (we had separate checks) it had a place for an additional tip though I had not put in a tip. On close inspection buried in the middle of the receipt showed the line gratuity added for party's of six was 20%. So they claimed that each of our parties were 6 and charged 23% and then asked for an additional tip in the subtotal. Though the food and service were really good this is an integrity issue. L and I considered that all of the parties of 2 had the same thing on their bill and didn't notice because it was buried in the middle with no notice. This is an effort by management to take advantage of those who don't closely examine checks because they trust the establishment. So instead of a 4* rating they get a 2* from deceiving their customers. People need to be aware.

    Food is pretty solid. We got the fried green tomatoes and blackened fish with the sides that came with it. The fish was probably the highlight of the meal as it was really flavorful. The size were okay. The green tomatoes were different as we've never had them fried before, but they are very similar to the concept of fried pickles. Service was amazing as our waiter was very attentive and very kind. Ambience is very welcoming and nicely decorated. I had to take one off because of how the condition of the bathrooms were. I don't know if it was at the end of the day and that was a reason, but the bathroom state was in a poor condition. Overall, a solid spot to visit if you're craving some fish.

    Nice south Austin staple! I was born and raised in this neighborhood south of the River. My family has been coming here for fried food for decades. The inside is a fisherman's dream. Wooden cravings of fish in the center ceiling boarder. Catfish painted murals. Oars, netting, etc. The vibes are giving.

    Cherry Creek Catfish is a great relaxing place to enjoy catfish and other menu options. The crowd is a bit older and see easily bring my parents here. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere great with walls covered with fishing items and history. Located at a shopping center there is lots of parking. The restaurant has both booth and table seating and easy to get in and out. I ordered the Catfish Dinner with mashed potatoes, green beans, and macaroni & cheese as sides. There was four fried catfish fillets but only two hushpuppies. Luckily my wife had plenty on here plate so took two of hers. The sides were great and the catfish was hot to the touch but once cooled down dipped them into the tartar sauce. The catfish with its breading had nice flavor and enjoyed it very much. So if looking a place dedicated to catfish cuisine then this place is for you.

    This is the spot if you just want a good, midwestern-style restaurant. The dark wood and lighting makes you feel like you're on a road trip stopping in the middle of nowhere but the food is good. The catfish is cooked perfectly and the breading on everything gives it a flavorful crunch. Get the fried pickles if you like spears! (Also the fries are normal and fried to perfection so) I'd improve the service.

    Seafood feast - catfish, shrimp, fried oysters, hush puppies

    This place has been here longer than I've been in Texas ( I assume...but def longer than I've lived in South Austin) and sadly at this point (again) I'd have to say skip it. I'm not new to this place. I know last time I said I wouldn't be back but honestly, it's been a long rough week, I haven't eaten well and I just wanted something comforting. I wanted Catfish Parlor but didn't want to pass my house to drive there. I've been here several times and the one consistent is that it's always SOMETHING when you order from here. The last time I was here they left something out of my order and said they'd add it to my next order but because it was so long ago that didn't apply this time. I don't think it would have made a difference expect it would have given me an extra sub par item to talk about. I ordered after again being let down by not being able to find duck legs at any grocery store in order for me to make my true craving duck ragu. But since I've been cobbling meals together I decided to get a full, satisfying meal in. This seemed the most appetizing that was close to me. I was wrong. I ordered the seafood feast. A plethora of deep fried delights from the sea...or it was supposed to be. But everything was soggy. I should have known better when I called the order in and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes, then it was ready and waiting at the counter when I arrived less than 5 minutes later. It was all just a soggy sad affair. Nothing was fresh. And curiously, even though everything had obviously been sitting around, the catfish was overcooked. It seemed like a hard cook that dried the flesh of the fish and made the edges inedible. And soggy fried oysters are just a NO. I substituted onion rings for the fries that came with the meal and they were ok. The onion was a bit undercooked but I don't mind a more sturdy onion in my onion rings. I also got an order of corn fritters but they weren't to my liking. I don't think there was anything wrong with them but I've only had them one other time at a different establishment and they were a bit different from there so I think it's just a matter of preference. But I think they took actual globs of creamed corn, battered then deep fried it which gave it a soft mucusy center that I didn't enjoy. The cole slaw was interesting....it was a creamy cole slaw with the bite of vinegar based slaw...still not sure how it fell with me. Since the last time I was here they hush puppies have changed from sticks to balls...I didn't notice a taste difference. The beans in this meal were good. The bacon in them was obviously doing a lot of the heavy lifting. The gumbo that came in the meal was actually good. The texture fell perfectly between a soup and a stew (like a good gumbo should) and had a good seafood essence because of the shrimp and crawfish. The best part of the meal was probably the sauces though. The ranch tasted like real ranch and not something bottled. Even the reg tartar sauce was good, which I usually don't use. And I didn't use much this time because I also had their jalapeno tartar sauce which was the superior sauce above all of them. Unlike a lot of the supposed jalapeno tartar sauces this one actually had a discernible kick and a different flavor profile instead of just being green. It was really good. Between the jalapeno tartar sauce and the air fryer, a lot of this place's sins were covered. But I don't want to have to do that when eating out.Also, I'm conflicted about the portion sizes. I realize it's seafood so it's more expensive than say burgers, but looking through the containers at the seemingly skimpy food I couldn't help feeling jipped for paying over $30. So I'd say, again, skip it. I just need to remember my own advice and burn the gas to get to Catfish Parlor next time.

    Menu

    A little hiccup at the beginning of my visit but the owner/MOD Jay made me feel like a valued customer and made me feel great. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh and tasteful! I would recommend this place as a local to anyone! Thank you cherry creek !

    Catfish Plater, always get the Jalapeño tartar sauce with your fish you will LOVE IT!

    I stopped today with my husband and absolutely LOVED it, I'm definitely gonna be back!!…read moreBut let me tell you more! The indoor is very beautiful and smells like cinnamon and apple (a scent that I love), especially going towards the bathrooms. Theres a bar section with plenty of seating and the room inside the restaurant is overall very spacious. I didn't see much of the indoor as I decided to sit outside in the patio. Although being during the Texas summer, the patio has plenty of (very powerful) fans! The view of the green belt next to the restaurant is amazing, and there is also an outdoor bar, which gives impeccable vibes. We ordered two starters and had plenty of food! My husband ordered the Barbacoa Stackers (slow roasted barbacoa, refried black beans, Jack cheese, JAK slaw, Cotija cheese) I personally loved them! The meat was tasty and juicy, the black beans were perfectly cooked and everything was so rich in flavor. Definitely a 10/10! I ordered the Homemade Buttermilk Biscuit, served with honey & seasonal fruit flavored butter (with a side of yummy bacon) Today they had strawberry flavor, and there was even strawberry jam. I have to be honest, THE BEST biscuits I've ever had in my life! And I love me some good biscuits! They were buttery and crumbly to the right point! The strawberry butter with the strawberry jam was the perfect combo! We were told the biscuits are made fresh every morning, and I love that! It was definitely a 1000/10! We also got some chips and salsa. Chips are very crunchy, and the salsa is spicy to the right point! Now I'm building my tolerance with the spicy and this salsa was really yummy, and can build up the spice! The waiter who served it to us, brought it over in a small mason jar and emptied it in the little container for our table, which was something I've never seen done like this. Definitely appreciated it! Makes me think they make their own salsa (forgot to check on that!) They also gave us a complimentary pita bread with pimento, and it was delicious! The pita bread was very crunchy and salty to the right point! They even gifted me a portion of peach and strawberry cobbler, topped with ice cream, for my birthday and it was insane! The flavor was perfectly sweet and mixed with the ice cream was very refreshing and still warm and melting in my mouth! Probably one of the best cobblers I've ever had! And keep in mind, we got here that we weren't feeling super hungry, and yet we were able to appreciate every single bite cause it was so good!! Last but not least - Ali, our server, was incredible! She was so nice throughout the whole dining experience and made sure we had everything we needed. She was so kind to ask if I could add peach puree to my freshly squeezed lemonade (which is a 10/10), and even made sure I had plenty of strawberry butter for my biscuits. We definitely took some leftovers home and I can't wait to have the remaining biscuit in the morning!
