Delicious! We wanted a traditional fried seafood meal and this did not disappoint. I had the catfish platter (fries, beans, coleslaw) and my husband had the combo poboy (crawfish and shrimp). We will most certainly be back! read more

2nd time was just not as good. Had regular size fried catfish dinner with coleslaw and fries. Wife had Fish Tacos, came with rice and beans. She did not like the sauce and cabbage on tacos. Sauce too sweet. Catfish was not as crisp and just a little too cool. Beans not that tasty First time, everything perfect. 2nd time, just means it might be awhile for the Third time! read more

Some of the best seafood in Austin hands down, seafood platter was more food than I could finish. Only draw back mud bug season, but only Friday mud bugs bummer. Service was good. read more

Best catfish and sweet potatoe fries are my favorite. Ranch is good and they even have fried mushrooms delicious

My daughter brought me to the Cherry Creek Catfish Cafe last time I was in Austin four years ago and I remember liking it but couldn't really remember specifics and never got my review written. We went back there Saturday and had an excellent meal. I could see why I remembered liking it. According to my photos which I did get posted last trip, I got the ribs and she got crawfish. This time we started with an appetizer of Fried Green Tomatoes which were excellent. She got crawfish again and gave me a taste. They were delicious. The onion rings were thick and fresh I'm a fan of shoestring style but at least they used top quality onions and thick slices. They had a great texture as well. I got the catfish dinner which was also wonderful. I got the smallest size which had three pieces but they were huge pieces so I still ended up bringing half of it home for lunch the next day. The portions of coleslaw and beans were generous. The coleslaw was obviously homemade, crisp and fresh, and the beans had a nice bacon-y flavor to them. I'm not a huge Hush Puppies fan but as Hush Puppies go they were good. My daughter loves them so I gave her all but one of mine. We decided we were in the mood for a dessert but neither one of us thought we could eat a whole one so we ordered a piece of their chocolate pie with crushed pecan crust, I don't remember the exact name of it. It was a good size piece for only $3.50 and had wonderful flavor. Between the two of us we only ate about half the piece and took the rest home for the next day. They have specials early in the week but not later in the week. However their prices weren't bad at all, especially for the quantity and quality they give you. The service was excellent. My time in Austin is growing short so I may not make it back here but I will definitely have to remember how much I liked it for my next trip. read more

Went here with the family for my 64th birthday. We had a GREAT experience! Food was great and service great. Very family oriented vibe. Totally recommend this place. read more

Third time to visit. First fried green tomatoes. They were crispy and not greasy. Came with standard plain ranch dressing to dip. Would have been better with something more special. Had the shrimp and crawfish platter. Again crispy and not greasy. Two sauces both good. Wife had a hamburger that's she described as above average and she would get it again. Overall friendly service in an easy to get to a park location. read more

Best fried catfish and oysters. Amazing peach cobbler. Great and attentive service. Relaxed, casual atmosphere.

It's been well over 2 years since we had eaten here. And while it seems like some restaurants have suffered quality issues since the pandemic, that cannot be said for this place. Food is still great and so is the service. read more

Avoid during covid. I entered for a togo order. A large group of employees were talking in a circle. I'm the only customer. Yet I have to share the breathing air of 8 people to pay for my order at the front register? Why are all of you up front having a meeting? I'm trying to order food to go, ok? I'll be back when you install a take out window. Until then, I'm not coming back as long as y'all are having bullshit sessions at the front register! read more

Good fried seafood. And nice sauces. And good fries. And EXCELLENT HUSHPUPPIES!!! And I felt an old Austin feel.

The food was bad I was served old coleslaw and fish that was like mush...wayyy too soft and the fries were cold and unsalted the hush puppies were also cold and a bit tough I almost throw up mid meal I don't recommend this restaurant. I wouldn't let my dog eat here. The customer service was ok tho. read more

Love this place. Great catfish baskets (really great bang for your buck), as well as chicken fried steak. Rare to find a place like this, especially in the middle of South Austin. Props to Cherry Creek. read more

Awesome food! Right on point. Would definitely go there again. Corn nuggets as an appetizer- a must order

I was pleasantly surprised by Cherry Creek Catfish. The place looked like a cute and casual sit-down restaurant from the pics that had a good menu and was kid friendly. That's exactly what we were looking for and that's just what we got! We had a friendly waitress and the owner coming around to the tables to check on the guests was a nice touch. The menu has a lot of fried fish, with some chicken options for those who aren't a big fan of seafood. I went for the blackened chicken, which came with a side of green beans, Texas toast, a baked potato ($1 up-charge) and a small dinner salad. It was more than enough food at a reasonable price! Overall, everything tasted pretty good. We got thumbs up on the fried catfish! The drink menu is pretty basic. You got your standard beers (nothing fancy), a couple of wines, and non alcoholic drinks. I like that everything comes in a massive cup that rivals a big gulp so I never had to glad down the waitress for more water. Overall, this place is great for groups and kids. We went on a Saturday night and there was a wait, so go early! If you are hungry for an app, we were not disappointed with the fried green tomatoes. read more

Cherry Creek Catfish - Seafood Near Me - Austin, Texas

If I'm going to eat a bottom-feeder like catfish then it better be handled, prepared, and cooked to perfection, otherwise, my taste buds will easily find the shortcomings. My catfish pieces had too much breading and the meat itself was mush/mealy. The default sides of hush puppies and coleslaw was pretty awful, the beans were just ok. Fries were basic to boot. For every great restaurant in ATX, there's at least 3 bad ones and Cherrycreek is one of the bad ones. read more

Basically: incredibly awkward experience and less than average food. As soon as my boyfriend and I walked in, the hostess greeted us by passive aggressively flirting with my boyfriend (literally right in front of me). We were escorted to our booth where our waitress took our order. My boyfriend got chicken strips and I got the salmon plate. He enjoyed his, but mine was under seasoned and a little cold. The interior is pretty outdated and dark which doesn't make anything better. Older crowd. Might try again later. read more

Great catfish and hush puppies, and solid fries, at a reasonable price. Austin classic.

My boyfriend called in a to go order 20 minutes before they closed. They came through with piping hot fresh food and the amounts were so generous. Everything tasted great and I wouldn't hesitate to get food from here again! My $8 salad was so legit! Prices are more than fair! read more

Cherry Creek Catfish - Seafood Near Me - Austin, Texas

I used to LOVE going to the place - some of the best fried food and ribs around; it was a favorite stop for lunch and dinner and staff were always friendly. My husband and stopped there today for an early dinner and let's just say, it was a waste of time. Should have left after seeing signs stating they were out of oysters, but we dedicded to stay. Service was not good and I felt rushed by the waiter. When we went to order our favorite - the seafood platter, there were not any options since there were no oysters. Were ordered the jumbo shrimp platter with a cup of gumbo abd mashed potatoes - wrong move. Food was delivered cold and the shrimp looked like they came out of a frozen food bag - wr have had better breading on our fried shrimp from Costco. The Gumbo was a DISAPPOINTMENT (not hot, not a dark reaux, unlike earlier visits, and sweet tasting with no spice.); there was not enough Tabasco to help it out. The mashed potatoes tasted like paste and the hushpuppies were tiny, greasy and flat in flavour. This was not the Cherry Creek we had enjoyed for YEARS. We told our waiter and all he did was apologize and ask if he could get us anything else- we said no as this was enough disappointment. He brought us our check without any compensation for the bad food. We paid the ticket and was not asked by manager how things were. We paid and left. Waiter never checked on us, never refilled drinks and didn't offer yo allow us to speak with hos manager regarding our food. 2 positives - we were given a Veteran discount and the fried mushrooms were served hot and were good. Again, I could tell they were frozen but at least decent. Just to say, I love seafood and giving lived bear the coast, I have been to some excellent places and have high expectations. Though in Austin, this place always had fresh, "homemade" food - never frozen. Even the mushrooms were freshly breaded. Unless this place changes back, I am not returning. read more

I love coming here the food is really good but today the food was not that good. I got the Mac and cheese and it was terrible it tasted like watered down milk with butter. I also got the fish tacos and the shrimp and fish combo. the shrimp and fish combo was delicious I loved it, but the fish tacos tasted very bad they tasted like old fish that had been sitting in the freezer for a very long time. I will no longer be coming back here. read more

I love cherry creek food so much!!! But my last two experiences I been rudely sat by the rude host Lorena. She seemed intoxicated , poor customer service and very rude and disrespectful. I been coming to this place for years me and my families will never be back again!! read more

Great food, people, service, and all the things I wanted. I been looking for a good catfish restaurant and found it thank you.

Delicious. Great customer service ... I would definitely go back. Food was fresh and hot. Never had to wait to long for refills or service. read more

Had lunch here for the first time. The exterior of the building was a little outdated. But, the food and staff are really the reason you come here. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive. I tried crawfish for the first time with the gumbo, and as much as I was not a fan, this could have been because I don't eat seafood often. I ordered the blackened chicken and it was amazing. For dessert we ordered the fried cheesecake, and it tasted like a churro with cream cheese. Probably would not eat that again. Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant and might come back when I'm craving southern chicken. read more

Overpriced mediocre food served in run-down ambience by well-meaning staff. The over-cooked under-seasoned seafood gumbo had a mushy texture and muddled flavor. The less-than-crisp coleslaw reminded me of the stuff from a carton that had been stored in the back of the refrigerator for days. The pinto beans seemed as if they had just been warmed up after opening the can. The hush-puppies were hard, oil-soaked and bland. The hard fried oysters had little flavor due to being left in the fryer too long. The best part of the meal were the shrimp and the fried catfish filets. Although the batter on the shrimp was bland and too-thick, the shrimp themselves were still juciy. The catfish, though unde-seasoned, was also properly cooked. The meal overall was a disappointment. read more

Went here with friends that have raved about the food. I ordered the New Orleans shrimp - it was not edible, tasted like the shrimp were rolled in salt. The waitress didn't even ask why I had not touched the food or declined a to- go box. Very disappointed. Wont be going back. read more

If I was to drive by this place, it is very unlikely that I would've thought to go inside but since I discovered them on Yelp I ordered for pick-up on DoorDash and DANG! 10/10 recommend giving this place a try! To me, the style of the restaurant is not much to my taste but given our current worldwide pandemic, probably best to order for pick-up or delivery anyway and enjoy in the comforts of home. When scrolling through the menu I was struggling between ordering the ribs and the catfish but eventually decided if I'm trying a new place with catfish in the name, I must order catfish! My detailed order: - Catfish Fillet Dinner (3 pieces) - Apparently they wanted to spoil me on my first visit because they gave me 4 catfish fillets! The breading is nice and thin so you don't feel bogged down by it and the catfish is cooked to perfection! The breading could've had a little more spice to it but hey, you can customize with hot sauce. They also send home tartar sauce and cocktail sauce which is a nice touch. - Beans - Delicious! Not the best beans I've had, given we're in Austin with the world's best BBQ selection, but definitely a great complement to the catfish. - Cole Slaw - Just the way I like it! Its cut up into very small diced-like pieces with a sweet sauce (kind of like KFC), which I much prefer to a vinegar-based cole slaw. - French Fries - Admittedly they were a bit soggy but that's the price you pay for pick-up/delivery. Still, very yummy and with a tiny hint of cajun seasoning! - Hush Puppies - DEFINITELY will be ordering the 8-count basket next time. These are so delicious and quaint and seasoned to perfection. - Shrimp & Crawfish Gumbo - This is a MUST order! Delicious flavors with the perfect amount of shrimp, crawfish, rice, okra, and everything your heart desires in your gumbo. COVID-19 update: - Pros - Ordering for pick-up means just peeking your head in, stating your name, and they give you your order right away. There is also up-front to-go parking. - Cons - Be quick to get there when your order is ready because it is not staying warm while it waits for you. Also, they don't seem to be regulating customers wearing masks so if that makes you uncomfortable, definitely order pick-up or delivery. TLDR: Try this hole-in-the-wall! read more

Cherry Creek is one of my favorite places to eat in Austin. Sure it's not the healthiest option, but we're all sinners. I normally get the fish and shrimp combo with a giant iced tea, then I normally need a nap. Also, if you haven't tried it, ask for the cajun sauce on the side. You can dip fries, fish, shrimp, and hushpuppies in deliciousness. They should probably bottle and sell it. In any case, if you're in south Austin, and you're looking for a calorie overload, look no further. This joint will not disappoint. read more

I love this place!! Been coming here for years. And as of late with the covid going on, I've gotten my food delivered. Which is awesome! My order has arrived correct and in perfect condition. My favorite is the fish and shrimp combo! Hits the spot every time. Their sides omg.. always on point, whether it's fried pickles or okra. Always. I Definitely recommend!! read more
