This is a typical crowded buffet. The place seems to be clean and decorated neatly. It was our first time coming, and when we first walked in the door we made eye contact with the lady at the hostess stand, and she said first words out of her mouth that will be $37.17. Lol I immediately smile back and said well what am I paying for? She said the buffer. I told her that "it is our first time here. Sorry I did not know." I asked her if I could take a look first she said sure I did and the food looked fresh and everything seemed clean around it so we decided to give it a try. Everything is on disposable styrofoam plates and disposable utensils... I chose a small piece of the baked fish put a few small pieces of the fried fish, one, each of the two different hush puppies, about three fries of each type they had sweet potato, and regular russet, then I made a plate of salad, which had tabouli, which I was excited about potato salad, Caesar salad, regular salad and a beet. I also put about three boiled cold, shrimp, peel, and eat type on my plate. My husband tried most of everything as well. I am a condiment junkie, so I had to get a little bit of their cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, and green tomatoes. In saying all of that, we were optimistic.. the fish is very very average. The tabouli was not to my taste there, the potato salad was spot on very tasty and flavorful. The round hush puppy was undercooked raw center it had potential had it not been under cooked . and the little tube shaped hush puppy was really tough and no flavor, in my opinion this one should be taking off their menu. You kinda had to just find your way and figure it out we realized we were to take our plate and put it in the trash. Our self I was gonna say service was bad but that would be unfair. They're just was no service.. I wish this place well, and I do think it will be a success for those that enjoy quantity and atmosphere is not important as far as it's very loud in there etc.. a lot of rubbing elbows and such. Now for dessert they had some cobblers pudding, vanilla wafers, and then homemade vanilla ice cream on the desert. The cobbler's were dry and not made with a crust Kinda like a dump cobbler. The pudding seemed to be probably out of the can... my husband tried the cobbler and said it was dry. He stirred the ice cream through it and said it was good that way.... I didn't waste calories on it just went straight for the homemade ice cream and it was good... a texture, kinda like snow ice cream if you've ever had that. read more

See all

First time here. Have been trying to eat here and we always come when they're closed or closing. They are only open Fri, Sat, Sund (short hours on Sun). We live close to the area so we Tried again and they were not closed. It is a buffet only and includes the drink. It is clean and bright and well decorated. Service: you serve yourself and they pick up the plates after you eat. It's styrofoam and plastic utensils. The buffet consisted of: fried catfish, fried butterfly shrimp, baked fish, boiled shrimp, the standard things that go with fried cat fish (coleslaw, fries, potato salad, okra), small salad bar which also included a Caesar salad. There is baked potato bar as well as red beans. The fried food was either under or over fried. I didn't eat the baked fish which I should have. The catfish was Meh. They had deserts which were a cobbler, chocolate and banana puddings, and I'm not sure what the other was. The cobbler didn't look appealing. They did have homemade ice cream. They had banana and vanilla. It was the the bomb!! Cost was almost $35 for 2. Doubt we would be back since the fish was Meh. read more

Horrible food and the staff just stood around talking amongst themselves. The food is advertised as fish net but the only fish they had was fried catfish. There wasn't any grilled fish or any other kind. It's more of a southern fried buffet and buffet is stretching it. Small salad bar with hardly anything besides lettuce. I will never go back! read more

$20 for the buffet and it doesn't include the drink. Most of the items on the buffet were out or only a spoonful, even the ice cream was out. Had to ask for tartar sauce and onions. First and last time going. read more

New in Durant with limited hours of operation focused on weekend. Catfish buffet with lots of options regarding catfish, shrimp, salad, sides and desserts to include homemade ice cream. This is all you can eat with soft drink or tea included. Really good food, most is fried but their are baked options. Ceasar salad, toubuli, regular salad bar stuff. First day of business was out of the door wait but equated to 20 min. Plenty of parking as it is located in a strip mall. Restrooms are small but that is not what you are there for. This is a buffet where you help your self to drinks utensils, plates etc after paying and being assigned a table. read more

Good food, clean place to eat with friendly faces. Homemade ice cream was a great addition too

First time here, and should have read the reviews first because they're pretty spot on. Fish was over cooked EXCEPT the shrimp. Salad bar...hmmm, lots of room to improve. Dessert was cobbler that was cold. The ONLY thing that was good was the shrimp, and who wants to eat on styrofoam plates. $40 for two people for a want a be buffet, Never again. read more

For the price the worst catfish ever! Fries cold fish cold everything out of a can even the pudding out of a can. Do not pay this price for this unless you like eating dirt. read more

Fish was good. The fries could be a little warmer and the baked fish. The salad bar is great. Need more help with keeping the tables cleaned. read more

My husband and I went at 4:30 and there were a good number of customers. We were pleased the place was clean and brighter than the previous restaurant. They have a senior discount which was nice. There were a lot of senior customers. The buffet was well designed. I chose catfish, butterfly shrimp, hush puppies and because the French fry pan was empty, I took sweet potato fries and the round hush puppies. My husband took the sticks. They also had fried chicken as an item and baked fish. A couple of things were negative to me. The hush puppies, both types, were very dense and over fried. They also had no flavor. The sweet potatoes were cold but had a good taste. The salad bar has a good choice of items. I took the tossed salad greens. All of the items were fresh. The lettuce needed to be chopped up smaller, hard to cut with a plastic knife and fork. The lettuce needed to be chopped up smaller, hard to cut with a plastic knife and fork. They also had coleslaw which was very good. The fish and shrimp were tasty and the condiments were also good. For dessert I had Apple cobbler and ice cream. But were typical of a buffet dessert. However, I had to ask them to bring out a new tray as it was empty when I went to get some. My husband had vanilla pudding with Nilla cookies. I agree with another commenter that it was can pudding. We didn't try a baked potato or the pinto beans. Will do next time. All in all we will go back. The staff was friendly and nice. I realize they are new and I'm sure they will improve on things as they get settled. read more

While the service was great the food wasn't. ate here with one other person and the price was almost $40, with an expensive price like that you would expect some quality food. When we arrived no fresh food was available, everything was so tough and that was the driest chicken I've ever had (genuinely). I could not eat it. Eating there was like paying to work out your jaw. Just glad we went before we brought the whole family and paid $80. Eating out is special to us because we never have the money to do it so we've been bummed out ever since thinking about all the things that would have been worth the $40 we wasted here. Unless you want to leave feeling sad and empty I don't recommend the Fish Net. read more

Looks like a good buffet with a good salad bar but I went for all you can eat catfish, well let me tell you that was some of the worst catfish I have ever ate. It was small fish pieces and I think it was scraps from bigger fish, it was very thin and over cooked. The shrimp was butterflied small breaded shrimp like you would buy in grocery store and over cooked . The grilled tilapia was good seasoned lemon and herbs, the chicken tenders was good moist meat and I think salad bar was very good, also potatoe bar was good. All fried stuff in my opinion was not good except for chicken tenders. The ff were over cooked fresh cut, sw pot fried were not so great . I didn't try okra, hush puppies 2 types. As that was just filler stuff and I wanted fish. Well I will go elsewhere next time as I have had better fish everywhere I've been! Sorry Fish Net but for a Catfish Buffet, You Suck! Wish I had taken a picture Busy place and the keep fresh cooked stuff coming but they just didn't cut it when it counted the most!!0 read more
