    We got to-go boxes for lunch today. The fish was great. No muddy taste at all. From the taste and…read moretexture, it appears to be US Farm Raised. The cole slaw was fresh and not to sweet. Fresh mixed fruit topped it all off. Well Done!!!!!

    I had some guys I meet here at training class recommended this place. It was not open till after 4…read moreso me and my wife thought we could give it a try, I was raised eating Catfish, and there are bad places as well as good places. Frying it right does require a unique skill so we were interested to see if this place lived up to the hype. Well you're in for a treat worthy of a road-trip meal -- warm hospitality meets seriously flavorful Southern seafood. This place nails that cozy, down-home vibe without skimping on quality or portion size. Their fried catfish fillets and catfish steaks are golden, flaky, and satisfy that crispy-outside, tender-inside craving perfectly. The peel-and-eat shrimp regularly show up on locals' highlight reels, and if frog legs are your jam, they're on the buffet lineup too. On busy nights the buffet spreads wide, offering fried shrimp, hearty fish, and classic Southern sides that keep your plate rotating. The drink lineup may not be fancy, but it's exactly what pairs best with this kind of food: ice-cold sweet tea and lemonade refreshingly cut through the rich flavors, and classic soft drinks round things out with ease. If beer or wine is your companion of choice, there's usually a modest selection available to complement the meal. Being from the South, sides are just as important as the entrée -- and Catfish Barn delivers. You'll find creamy macaroni & cheese, broccoli mac salad, green beans, and pinto beans that feel like grandma just put them on the table. Don't skip the fried okra and hush puppies -- they're classic, crunchy bites that dance beautifully with tartar sauce. After all that savory goodness, you need dessert. Patrons consistently gush about the pecan cobbler and strawberry dessert, often topped with ice cream that melts into every sweet nook. Whether you're a local or a visitor, they're the perfect last course to cap a soul-satisfying meal. Catfish Barn isn't just a restaurant -- it's a small-town institution where food, friends, and family come together over big plates and bigger flavors. The buffet style keeps everything hot and plentiful, the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is casual yet full of warmth. Sure, expectations should stay humble (this isn't fine dining), but for genuine Southern seafood cooked with heart? This place stands tall. Would I come back? Absolutely -- with friends and a big appetite. All in all this was nothing crazy or fancy just down home southern cooking. Very inviting atmosphere. You can tell a lot of the customers are regulars and comfortable which in part is the staff because this was my first trip ever here and they made me feel at home.

    I spent the day hyping up this restaurant, to my visiting relatives expecting the same great meal…read morewe had a year ago, only to be completely let down and have the rumors I refused to believe be confirmed. From the moment we arrived, our waitress seemed in no hurry and was forgetful to say the least. It took multiple requests just to get a kids' menu, and our drinks sat empty for nearly 30+minutes. She never cleared our table of bread, salad, or soup plates, so we ended up stacking them on the concrete wall beside us as we finished each course--simply because we couldn't stand the clutter anymore. About 10 minutes before the main course was served, she returned to tell me they had run out of filets and asked what I'd like instead. I switched to a ribeye. Our food finally arrived around 8:30, even though we were seated at 6:45--an hour and forty-five minutes later. During that time, I spoke with Leroy, the owner, more than I did with our waitress the entire evening. To top it off, she added an automatic 20% gratuity for our table of seven--four adults and three children. We're generous tippers, but jt was blatantly obvious she was coasting through the night knowing the tip was guaranteed. When the ribeye finally arrived, it was one of the toughest cuts I've ever been served--full of tendons and gristle, and certainly not worth the $40+ price tag. Honestly, I could have picked up a pack of two better ribeyes at Walmart for the price I paid for the one I didn't even eat tonight. When I mentioned my disappointment with the steak, she seemed unfazed. The only redeeming parts of the evening were the view, a cup of soup, and the vanilla crème brûlée. I made an effort to express my disappointment before leaving with zero effort on her part to engage in a solution. So I tried calling on the way home to speak with someone--no answer. So here we are..... our entire table left disappointed! It was especially embarrassing after I'd talked the place up so much--only to end the night with a $320 bill and a thoroughly underwhelming experience.

    Who dat say dey gonna eat dem Cajun... foods... in Arkansas? Anyway, yup, a genuine Louisianan chef…read morehas worked his way up to Bald Knob and maintained this wonderful establishment. Let's go through things one by one. * Expect a wait. For being half a mile off the Interstate with no signs, it was packed. At 8 pm on a weekday, I waited 20 minutes as a single attendee. They do their best to clear tables and keep things moving, but this means the locals know this place and love it. And by "locals", the ones across from me lived an hour away and came up two days in a row to get some fresh crawfish before it was gone ("last weekend" was advertised). That tells you something. * Patient and friendly staff. Refilled my car-trip water bottle for me. Brought over a fresh hot sauce because my table was nearly out. Pro tip: ask for Louisiana brand, it's all natural and the name says "I am Cajun." * Fun atmosphere. Open but down-home. It sure doesn't feel corporate, they did a nice job touching it up. The only non-food downside: No wi-fi available. With that, on to the foods: * The gumbos are probably a little overpriced for their size, but I expected that. The chicken sausage gumbo had wonderful dark roux flavor, just a little runnier than I'm used to my gumbo. But I don't eat gumbo often, so this may be the right consistency. * The crawfish etouffée, on the other hand, is a wonderful value. Yes, it's got quite a bit of rice at its base (maybe I shouldn't have gotten two rice-based dishes), but it has quite a bit of crawfish and vegetated sauce on top. Again, very flavorful. * You get a little puffy roll with the gumbo. You get a little puffy roll with crawfish etouffée. Make sure every dish you order comes with at least one, preferably up to infinity, puffy rolls. SO GOOD. I want to go drive back there right now for more but they're closed for the night. * I didn't order the hushpuppies but I noted I was intrigued on someone else's plate, and they magically ended up on mine. (It was, in fact, part of the dish anyway.) Turns out they're rather oily and were a bit overfried. Oh well. * They may or may not have desserts besides bread pudding, but the non-local locals I waited with up front said there's a different bread pudding flavor every day. They magically had a whole loaf of bread pudding in their hands moments later - those are up by the register and disappear quickly. Now, I'm not a bread pudding guy, but if there is ONE flavor that will get me, it's berries. And they offered triple berry bread pudding the night I was there. I was stuffed from dinner, so I brought it home and ate it the next day. Despite still being stuffed, I couldn't wait. If anything, I wanted Even More Berries inside but it's a good sized slice for the price. The loaf is a steal, comparatively, but I knew I couldn't pack one of those away. It was gone when I left, to no surprise. The verdict: A couple of imperfections noted above - the wi-fi, the hushpuppies - but considering the location and the food quality, I'm leaving all my stars and recommendations for travelers in the area I've now heard of.

This place nails the perfect blend of authentic Southern hospitality, mouthwatering food, and a cozy, down-home vibe that makes you feel like family. I ordered the Cajun blackened catfish, and let me tell you--it was perfection on a plate. The seasoning was bold, spicy, and perfectly balanced, with a crispy exterior giving way to tender, flaky fish. My wife went for the ribeye, cooked to a juicy medium-rare, and it was one of the best steaks we've had in years--rich, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. We shared the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, and they were an absolute highlight: plump, savory, and bursting with cheesy, garlicky goodness. Portions? Massive. We left stuffed and happy, with leftovers for the next day. The value here is outstanding. The service was top-notch--our server was friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations without ever feeling rushed. The restaurant itself has such a fun, welcoming atmosphere: walls covered in taxidermy, quirky photos, and local charm that spark smiles and conversation. It's the kind of place where you linger after your meal just to soak it all in. If you're craving real Cajun flavor, generous helpings, and a true hometown feel, Who Dat's is a five-star winner. We can't wait to go back!
