My wife and I enjoy the chance to talk without having to yell across the table. It is quiet and relaxing. We always get the 3 piece fish and baked potato. It comes with their coleslaw and hush puppies. The hush puppies are great and huge!!! I also like the fries which are hand made and freshly cut. The baked potato is a better value and I have yet to finish one even though I am normally a big eater! I highly recommend Catfish Palace. They also have BBQ available Thursday-Saturday.

It comes with catfish but they let you choose your fish if you want something different! It comes with 2 sides so I got fries and fried okra. The fried okra was the star of that show for me! Also, I switched out the catfish for Blue Whiting. Everything was well seasoned and delish. My husband ordered the Blue Whiting platter which was 2 whiting filets and a side. He considered getting the etouffee so while we ate she brought out a small taste of it for us to sample for next time. (And there will be a next time!) The girl at the counter (owner??) is SO STINKIN NICE! My gosh, talk about great with customers! (Cutie with fun glasses.) It's about an hours drive from where we live but we're through Waco pretty regularly so we're looking forward to our next stop at Friday's. We'll try to get by on a Friday so we can try some of their GUMBO!

My wife had the same catfish but with green beans and fried okra. The service was cheerful, upbeat and pretty quick. Ambience was authentic cajun/ local charm. This place is mostly about the food.

DELICIOUS! I forgot I was in Waco tbh. I went here with my parents, and we all gave it 5/5 stars!…read more Joshua was an excellent waiter--very friendly and helpful. My parents had issues with the service the first time they came, around when Tia Juanita's first opened. But today, our food came out quickly and correctly...and it was SO GOOD! The drinks, the apps, the entrees--all of them were full of flavor and really tasty. I would describe the menu as Cajun, Tex-Mex fusion. We had the crawfish queso (bomb), shrimp/fish tacos (fresh and bomb but small), shrimp quesadillas (also bomb), and the hush puppies (slightly less bomb and v small, but still yum). The vibe inside is a little overwhelming. It's pretty loud, and it's worse when there's live music, I hear. But it's a fun, immersive type of experience if you're looking for a more upbeat dining experience :)

That said,, the environment, the staff, the food, and enen management have impressed me time and time again. You should check this palace out.

Our food arrived quickly, but we never felt rushed at all, which made the evening feel relaxed and special. The oysters were great, and I ordered the lobster roll, which was a 10/10. It also came with some of the best fries I've ever had. My mom got the red snapper with a side of broccoli, and she really enjoyed her meal as well. We almost never order dessert, but since it was the last night of our vacation, we thought... why not? We shared strawberry and chocolate ice cream served with the cutest, yummiest little tea cookies, and it was absolutely worth it. Everything about the meal was phenomenal, and we left super satisfied.
