    2 piece fillets
    Regina G.

    This place was recommended to me by one of my patients. The fish was well seasoned hot and fresh real catfish. The fries could have been cooked a little bit longer. They were kind of soft, not soggy, but just undercooked. They are really stingy with the hot sauce and the tartar sauce. It was barely any in the containers that they give you, but I will definitely be back

    This place was recommended to me by a coworker. I didn't even know this place existed. I'm so happy and glad to find a good place to go for some good food. I ordered the 2 piece catfish fillets with okra. Everything tasted great. I actually received two whole pieces of fish (cut in half). Not just one piece (cut in half) calling it a 2 piece. I liked that you have to call in your order, stay in your car, and they bring it out to you when it ready. I will be returning.

    Not my best pic, but I was preggers at the time and ready to chow down!! Fresh Catfish and Shrimp

    This place is in the heart of South Dallas on Lancaster road. You yelpers will rarely catch me in this part of town but I was roaming the streets because of my work. The outside might be kind of sketch, but I could probably eat off of the floor on the inside. I was surprised at how clean it was! I was greeted by the owner's brother. He was such a sweetheart and really carried on a great conversation as my catfish and shrimp were being prepared! He is very catering to his customers and everyone seems to know him really well. The fish and shrimp were piping hot and tasted like they were alive only a few minutes ago. I heard they got all of their Seafood from Galveston Texas. The shrimp was fried hard just like I like it, but the catfish could have been fried a little harder. I am very salt sensitive, so the flavor was great to me. Their fries were yummy and seasoned to perfection. I really like how they do their bread. They don't just slap on 2 slices of bread and call it a day, they Grill both sides with butter I'm assuming which really tops the meal off. My husband is an avid fisherman so we usually fry it up at home. Unfortunately, I probably won't be making a special trip back out here. But if I happen to be in the area, it is definitely worth eating again and again and again. Definitely a local favorite!

    I initially wanted to go to the business next door to here because i was going to fry my own catfish and shrimp. That market is amazing as well. I decided to just relax and eat to go at home. And since i was here i might as well try it right. Well i think this is a undiscovered gem conveniently located on Lancaster road across from the V.A hospital.... iblove coming across these kind of places. Friendly. Clean. I havent tried the food yet but man the atmosphere has me very excited. Mmmmmmm. I cant say enough. It was goood. I will be returning. They will get to know me lol....

The vibe is definitely English pub, but the expansive outdoor patio makes you feel like you're still in Texas. We stayed for a quite a while to watch several of the World Cup games. I had fish and chips and ordered a beer. The fish and chips were amazing: the fish particularly was fried and seasoned so well. I could've easily eaten another portion. I truly did not expect it to be as good as it was, especially as most of my fish and chip experiences in the US have left me wanting more. This was perfect! Service was surprisingly fast despite how busy the bar was. We had no issues finding seating outside and then moved indoors once space cleared out. Our server was super accommodating and even hooked us up with a table near the larger TV once that party cleared out. Another bonus is that this location has a huge, free parking garage, so super convenient if you don't want to take the DART.

The star was the house-made tomato soup -- savory, sweet, and so flavorful!! The fries were great too and their ranch is delicious! For dessert, we enjoyed the sticky toffee pudding! A bit different than the ones I've had before, but I still liked it. The only miss was my virgin margarita. It was wayyyy too sour and salty. Would skip!

I don't think Harwood Arms was prepared for how many people were going to show up- it seemed completely disorganized, chaotic, and just ridiculous. We were sitting down at one of the tables outside in the alley area and the walkway was clear- at first. After the game had actually started, I guess they just let everyone in and the entire walkway was PACKED with people to the point that our once clear view of the TV, was gone in an instant. As the night progressed, obviously a girl has to pee, so as I was walking into the actual restaurant/ pub to use the bathroom and I guess the "bouncer" stuck his arm between me and the door and dismissively said I couldn't go in. Excuse me? After telling him I literally have a table outside, he yanks at his collar and speaks into his little walkie talkie asking if there's a table of 4 outside under my name. Sorry, I didn't know I was watching the Mexico game at the freakin White House surrounded by Secret Agents. Give me a break. So when he magically confirms I have a table (because I do), he lifts up his arm and gives me the ALL CLEAR! It's actually funny looking back at it. But give me a break. When going back outside to sit at my table, the same bouncer/ Secret Agent/ FBI dude gives attitude to my boyfriend and myself for the commotion caused earlier. The actual police officer next to him told us it's ok and to just have a good time. The only nice thing someone said to us and he doesn't even work at Harwood Arms lol. To management, if you do not want people "off the street" to go in and out of your pub or inside to use your bathrooms, then I don't know- maybe come up with a wristband method so your paying customers can smoothly go in and out to use your bathrooms? Just a thought. OR just don't be unwelcoming to people that are actively spending money at your pub. Harwood Arms was NOT prepared at all for the high velocity of people coming in to watch the FIFA games. Quite frankly, it was a MESS. I did visit Bar W a few days after that and had a MUCH BETTER experience-- go there instead.

    WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF POSSIBLE!!…read more This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had anywhere. I called in my order and was told I could choose my fountain drink when I arrived. Five minutes later when I got there, the same employee said the fountain machine was broken and then tried to require me to either pay for a fountain drink I would not receive or pay extra for a bottled drink. When I asked to simply remove the drink and pay for the chicken and fries that were already prepared, I was told they "don't sell that" and that I would not be served. After this dispute, the employee handed the food that had been prepared for my order to customers who were waiting in front of me and told me that my order was canceled. Shortly after, two customers came in and were allowed to order only chicken and wings with no issue, even though I had just been told that was not possible. I have video of this interaction. I then offered again to pay for the food that had been made for me. Instead of resolving the situation, the employee canceled my order and called the police even though no crime had occurred. Being refused service after attempting to pay the posted price, having your food given away in front of you, seeing other customers allowed to order what you were denied, and then having police called over a simple pricing dispute is beyond unacceptable. I recorded the interaction for my own protection because of how out of control it became. If you care about fair pricing, basic respect, or being treated like a human being, do yourself a favor and avoid this location entirely.
