In town for some casino fun and found this dandy spot for seafood. First there was no wait time, secondly the service was excellent and so delightful. Southern charm! The food was fresh and hot and appropriately sized as well. The ambiance was okay, more of a down home country feel. Great spot if you're in town at the Atmore Windcreek Casino. read more

I can document at least 30 years of visiting this Catfish house. It's truly amazing how consistently wonderful this place is. They've had the same formula every time I go there-- friendly service and smiles from every worker there, excellent food served fresh and hot, and plenty of food for the price point. I would guess that I've been served at David's maybe 80 times in the last 30 years and they have never missed. Can't wait to go back again!!! read more

The service is on point and timely with visit to your table. The portions are very nice and the food is freshly cooked. Love the ambiance.

Food and service was amazing will definitely go back again if ever in the atmore Ala area

Very casual atmosphere. Greeted immediately as we entered and seated right away. Waitress very sweet and prompt. The coleslaw lives up to its hype....yes it's good! I had the fried gulf shrimp. Yes! Shrimp from down the road fresh! Best fried shrimp I've had. Everything was excellent! This is definitely a place to return to again and again. read more

While driving back to Florida from Alabama we happen to see a sign for David's Catfish House and decided to stop and give it a try. Right away we could tell that it was a popular spot. Since it was an unplanned stop we did take out. The food was really good. I must give a special mention for the cole slaw which was delicious. The staff definitely gave that southern hospitality. :-) read more

There are multiple David's catfish House restaurants in the area, but this location is the original and the best. The menu is different and the quality of the foods are much better. We usually start of with the fried crab claws, which a large and good quantity. My wife gets the catfish basket with turnip greens and fries and I usually get the fried oysters and shrimp with turnip greens and baked potato. The food is always good and so much better than the other locations. The only I wished that was different was more options that are not fried. This place is worth the drive from Pensacola. read more

Welcoming place, clean, hostess very nice. The seafood gumbo so so robust with flavor and nice kick not overpowering. Good hush puppies(2) with dish. Wow!! I'm stuffed. Shrimp with lemon pepper, perhaps little ease on pepper, but good. Overall nice , yes good place to eat and mist try cup of gumbo. Coleslaw was very good in flavor, but the texture is like eating soggy cereal or bran flakes. They have 2 other side dinning areas. read more

Same everytime. The coleslaw and sweet tea are on point. I'm pretty sure my dad would by coleslaw from them in bulk for his party's sometimes. The prices are not too high and the service is very nice here. I grew up going here and don't really go hear anymore as I don't personally trust farm raised fish of any sort. You wouldn't either if you knew the dark side of it. read more

FOOD -good catfish, albeit a tad bit salty -best coleslaw I've ever tasted in my life -my companion said the shrimp was nothing to write home about. I agree they had a funny taste -first time ever trying fried green tomatoes. they were piping hot, with delicious crust. for some reason, I didn't expect the tomatoes to be tangy. I'd eat them again. SERVICE -seated very promptly -attentive service -waitress brought us dirty, greasy plates to eat our tomatoes off of. when I pointed out that they were dirty, she said "oh yea, I saw that." and promptly took them away and brought clean replacements. (????) read more

Great food and service whenever I go! Nice place to be with family. I have been to 3 different David's restaurants they all have good service. read more

I can never get tired of fish. I was on the road and came across David's Catfish House. Wow a drive through was right on time especially since we are having to social distance. Me and the fam rolled right on through and placed our order, and waited 15mins in the parking lot. The thing is you still have to wait in the drive through to pick up your order up. I appreciated the hot fish, oysters, shrimp fries and hush puppies that were freshly cooked. The coleslaw was awesome in taste and fresh. The seafood was crispy and seasoned perfectly. I must say that the oysters were small bite size not what I'm use to eating. Everything was good, and it's no secret because it was quite a crowd of people at the time. Overall I will stop again when in the area. This place alright in my book. read more

The food is always great and the servers are amazing. We love going there!! When we were building our home, it was our home away from home for dinner and it never disappointed. Terrance and the gang run a smooth ship!! read more

Our favorite place to eat when at or near Atmore. We make the drive just because of their food and the kindest waitresses ever. Lorri was our server and took care of us like we were at her home. Will be back again and again read more

The service is always great. Tonight I ordered the ribeye. I was very disappointed. For $27 it's not worth it. It was hardly even warm and no flavor. Not sure how they pulled off a flavorless ribeye but they did. Left a lot of it on the plate. Would not recommend the ribeye. read more

Love their food! They never disappoint and are so nice and friendly! I never feel uncomfortable when eating here. It's a family friendly restaurant! read more

Awesome food! The service is great too! Locally owned and operated by amazing people!

As always David's Catfish in Atmore came to the rescue. good food, fantastic service and most of all not a long wait. shrimp was excellent and their coleslaw is impeccable. read more

Always great food, great service and such a wonderful treasure in Atmore! When we visit family, we always make plans to dine with David's.

The food is good enough. However' the piece of catfish was barely as big as my 3 fingers for $14. Chicken strips were delicious but the catfish pieces were way to small. They used to be as large as expected. read more

The fish and shrimp was very bland. I see these 5 star reviews but I don't think they get out that much. Please add some type of seasoning to the batter before cooking my fish. I visited this restaurant because of the reviews but was very disappointed. I had catfish from Wind Creek Casino last night and it was very tasty (which i didn't expect from a casino buffet) please steal their recipe. I go out to eat because I don't feel like cooking. I shouldn't have to prep my food with spices when I'm paying a restaurant or cook to do it for me. Staff was pleasant, attentive and efficient. read more

Visited this charming country catfish house while visiting my mom in Pensacola. They serve huge servings! The all you can eat catfish and shrimp was delicious but very filling. Very good prices only $16.99 all you can eat and kids meals are only $4.99. It comes with 2 sides and I chose collard greens and sweet potato and because the sides are also all you can eat I opted to try the cheese grits which were also southernly delicious. I would highly recommend this place but bring your appetite! :) read more

I'm not going back. The last time we went the waitress apologized for how our food looked. As matter of fact the last 2 times we went it was so bad we didn't have to pay. read more

Good food, don't order wine. The gumbo was the best I have had since leaving Baton Rouge. Had Cajun grilled shrimp- very good.

Stopped in while on my way to Louisiana to help with relief work. After a lot of driving g from Jacksonville I was pretty hungry and wanted my food fast without it being fast food. David's Catfish did not disappoint. My waitress Ashtyn was polite and on point with her suggestions. Thank you for the food and moment of rest read more

Pandemic time. Fast friendly drive thru service. Food was hot and fresh and tasted fantastic. Excellent catfish, greens and Cole slaw. We ate in the car in the parking lot. read more

I make better fried food. For the price they charging they should served quality food. Honestly it was nasty.

This is the first time out since moving to the south. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Really casual restaurant, good service, and food made really well. I had the shrimp and grits, the shrimp were tender and not over cooked, the grits were perfect, the bowl had some bid chips in it and should've been thrown out. Our server was attentive and really great. It's not a 5 star place, but I would go there again. Throw out your bad plate ware, it's not good for restaurant and leaves you open to someone injuring theirselves on the sharp edges read more

Friendly and welcoming staff, you get a real "at home" vibe when dining in. The menu has a little something for everyone from salads and burgers to seafood and stuff. Everything has always been seasoned to perfection and served fresh. The servers are always phenomenal and make you feel like a priority. Can't forget the famous coleslaw, it's worth the drive alone. They offer take out and have a convenient pick up drive thru window. read more

I was in Atmore, Alabama, on business...(don't ask) and decided to stop here to eat. All I can say is "WOW". This place was SOLID. Great prices and great food. I had the catfish basket and it was a ton of food for ~$6. If you're in the area...PLEASE...stop by here and support this local and GREAT restaurant. read more

Haven't been here in a while but decided to have dinner while in the area. My server was Brittany and she was awesome! Very surprised at how good she was compared to the other servers on the floor. I had the hamburger steak with fries and coleslaw, yeah I know odd pairing but it was really good. My dinner guest had the pick 2 seafood platter of catfish and shrimp. Needless to say, only crumbs were left. In Atmore there are slim pickings for dinner options besides the casino, Mexican and Chinese. I would highly recommend this location and tell you to ask for Brittany. read more

The only reason I am short a 5th star is the service was lacking a bit. The place wasn't busy but we hardly saw our server. Food was amazing. We both had catfish fillet dinners and different sides. My husband also had the fried green tomatoes which he said were the best ever. Steak fries were average, could use some seasoning salt. My husband had cheese grits and sweet potato. He was disappointed they didn't offer cinnamon for it but ate it without complaint. The breeding is what really makes it for us. The corn meal base sets it apart from most places and leaves you wanting more! read more

If you are looking for a quaint, homely, southern fried catfish paradise, look no further than David's Catfish House! It's in a tiny town, not far off the freeway. I really enjoyed it.

Great Fried Fish and Shrimp! The sides were also very good... Although the cole slaw was very wet, yet very tasty and not soggy - it is a Southern thing. We will return here when Gambling at Wind Creek Casino and Resort. read more

A colleague and I were driving from Mobile to Birmingham, and we were STARVING. We'd never heard of David's but decided to stop there because of the positive reviews. Those reviews did not disappoint! We got the all you can eat shrimp boil. It was delicious and a great value. Our server was sweet and attentive, and I don't think I've ever eaten a better hush puppy in my life. Everything about David's is pleasant and enjoyable. I'm so glad we found this place! read more
