Stopped in on the way home to Tennessee. Place was busy, but we were seated quickly. Attentive waitstaff had our drinks and order quickly. Fried pickles were hot, crispy, and on point. The star of the show was the thin and crispy catfish. They use Simmons catfish, and it's some of the mildest I've ever tasted. Well cooked and mildly seasoned, the fish was very good. The coleslaw was finely minced and mayonnaise sweet and the collard greens were some of the best I've ever had. Redolent with smoky pork, they didn't suffer from too much vinegar as many do. The restaurant was devoid of the usual cheesy decor that plagues many fish places and the restrooms were clean. Highly recommend Moss Creek! read more

Be prepared to put on some lbs at this Pearl MS pad. Large platters well occupy the menu; eg. Poboys, Catfish, Shrimp, Fried Pickles, Yummy Fried Oysters, etc., etc. Food comes well prepared and flavourful. Gets their mystifying loaded gumbo or grilled shrimp salad if looking for change up :) Staff are ever present and super helpful. Came with a large group o coworkers, & we all left completely happy and stuffed. read more

I was craving southern cuisine and my hotel recommended this place. Had a wonderful mixture of sides with a fillet of blackened catfish and a 1/2ib of boiled shrimp. Washed down with two cold bottled beers. Friendly and cheerful staff. Well worth a visit. read more

Was looking everywhere that sell whole fried catfish and Moss Creek have them. Simple menu of catfish, shrimp, there are burgers if you want that too. Option of all you can eat platter, unless you are a NFL player there is no way you need the all you can eat option. I saw so many leftovers from other tables . Service is quick. Everything is fresh. Cooking oil they use doesnt seems to be old because food is golden color instead of dark brown and burnt like fast food places. Catfish need more seasoning. Might be kinda bland but they do provide a bottle of tartar sauce for you. Also they have "come back" sauce for other items to dip in. I love hush puppies and I like theirs. Crunchy on the outside and sweet and soft on the inside. They use sweet cornbread which I like . Sides are pretty standard. Good place to eat overall. read more

The catfish was delicious. It was mild and well portioned. The sides were salty, and the turnip greens were over cooked. Overall, service was good. read more

Pretty nice, no frills restaurant. Was excited to see thin catfish fillets on the menu since that is my favorite preparation style! Server was nice and attentive. Food arrived quickly. The catfish was nicely seasoned and breaded. Everything we ate was delicious and well seasoned. My son loved the chicken tenders and commented on how juicy they were. read more

Dined there 8/23/26. Wait staff was amazing. Food was okay. Management needs to be retrained on what should and should not be said in front of customers. All customers matter especially when they make of 50-60% of your business on any given day. "I don't care" should never be coming out of your mouth in front of customers. Especially when its clear we had been sitting there before the others arrived. Kudos to the young lady that stepped up and did the right thing. read more

We were greeted and seated right a way as the place was just opening for the day. It was an open floor plan and tables spaced enough to where you don't feel crowded. The fish was fried perfectly as well as the shrimp. Great flavor. The oysters and okra was over fried and tough. Everything else was good. We felt like our server was trying to rush us out of there with comments like, I'm gonna bring you a box because you seem to be slowing down. Here's the check. We only had two choices for dessert and the one we picked. They were out of it and hadn't been open but an hour. Was not impressed. read more

When I received my bill, their tip calculation included a tip on taxes! It's very misleading to the customer.. When, I tried explaining it to the waitress. She just kept telling me it's not in the bill it's just a suggestion.. She could not understand that it's misleading to add a tip on the taxes also.. She finally took the ticket and tore the bottom part off and handed me the top portion with just the bill amount.. She wasn't getting it.. At the register, I again explained it was misleading to the customer.. They needed to fix their computer system to not add a tip on taxes due.. She repeated that it was not added to the bill and was just a suggestion.. She told me " to have a Blessed Day ". I know what she meant with the attitude and tone.. Well, guess what? "With all due respect". I left a zero tip and won't be back.. read more

Moss creek is one of the best fish houses in the south so far. It's at the top of my list. The service was great. A the Ambiance was a very welcoming atmosphere. read more

Moss Creek Fish House is a great place to head if you are in the mood for some fried seafood and you are anywhere around either Jackson, Mississippi or Pearl, Mississippi. Really anywhere around the area. I had catfish and oysters and it was definitely a good meal and for what it was, I feel that it was competitively priced. I had a client recommend the catfish here and it definitely did not disappoint. Service was good and while there was nothing fancy about this restaurant, it kind of captured the Mississippi fried seafood restaurant vibe. A casual but pleasant experience. Again, the food was good, as was the service and the ambiance just added to the overall experience. All in all, I will give Moss Creek Fish House an overall score of four stars. I woukd definitely recommend here. read more

I've been craving for AYCE whole catfish that's not buffet style, but freshly fried to order. Only a small handful of places that does this, we've never here so decided to try. We both got the AYCE catfish, you can choose between filet or whole (doesn't include grilled), and they had several sides that you can choose from, that's also ayce. He got the filets, I got the whole. They brought out half a platter of filets, and 3 whole catfish! It was piping hot, but not greasy at all. I love cornmeal breading, it's light, but crunchy, the fish were nicely seasoned, and meaty, it hit the spot! These filets were very comparable to Mama Hamils strips when they used to do strips, the last time we were there, they were more like nuggets. Super white catfish, lightly battered, crispy, and fluffy on the outside, so good! My whole fish was fried hard, but the inside still moist and flaky. Service was good also. Next time I'll probably ask for 1 or 2 whole catfish sent at a time instead of all 3. Once I made it to my 3rd filet it wasn't piping hot anymore. I love my food on the verge of burning my mouth Included menu in the comments for yall. read more

Stopped for lunch on our way to the gulf coast. Delicious meal! The turnip greens are fantastic!! Great service and clean place.

Our fish was horrible tonight mushy, sweet potatoe were horrible taste like dirt, someone needs to cook .

This was my second visit. The first one was not a pleasant experience but I like to be fair. The food, service, and ambiance were the same...Terrible. read more

Sides were ok the slay needs more something haha and I didn't get the hush puppies. read more

Great service from cashier. Quick checkout at the register. Clean and friendly environment and experience.

Few cars in the lot. Bad sign! There are fails and then there are epic fails. Ordered small platter whole fish with baked spud and fried okra. Small platter is one fish. Seems steep for 11$ but that's the owners call. Scored my whole fish which completely destroys the taste profile of the whole fried fish. I wasn't given an option. Baked potato was old and cold. End of dinner I was able to get waitress attention (barely) and I asked her for a hot spud. She brought one with no butter and no sour cream. Another waiter saved the day. Okra was good. Got charged 13$ for the 11$ platter. I paid and tried to wipe the memory of this place from my mind. Hope I helped u dodge a bullet. read more

Stopped by here on our way from Dallas. My wife and I did the catfish. We found the food was cooked well but very bland. There was really nothing special or unique about its flavor. The sides for the dinner were marginal at best. The place was loud with numerous loud children. The service component was the best thing there - all friendly and helpful. My suggestion is there are places in Mississippi with better catfish. Try them and pass this one by. read more

These guys are GREAT! We had a special request for a Saturday right after lunch. 18 people to complete my Mothers celebration of life. Jessica made sure it was arranged even though she wasn't there. The MC team made it happen seamlessly. It was a very memorable occasion for our family. Thanks to the Moss Creek team. We won't forget it. read more

Visited this gem on the way to GA, and was not disappointed! Catfish was seasoned nicely, and thin (but not too thin). Shrimps were crispy and #Large. Hush puppies were absolutely #delish. (At least they were to me) Wife simply devoured the Sweet Tea. Said it was, "how Southern Sweet Tea is supposed to be!" (Her words, not mine - I had a Coke) I completely recommend this place - to both unaware locals, and visiting out-of-towners, like me! Sorry, no photos cause I ordered to go. But, from what I could tell, the place was pretty well laid out and clean. read more

Came here for the first time with a co-worker for lunch. The cup of Gumbo was a large portion for being a "cup" so I was happy with this decently sized portion. The Gumbo was good but needed a little more heat for my preference so I added some hot sauce and pepper but did like it. The lunch I wasn't fond of at all. The Catfish filets had hardly any fish. They were too thin and all I could taste was the batter. Keep in mind this restaurant actually does sell thin and crispy catfish filets and this was not that, these were the regular ones and they were still so thin. I did not enjoy the catch fish filets at all. The cabbage was fine and the rice was just plain, hard white rice. Nothing special. My co-worker ordered exactly the same dish I did and felt the same. We were not appetized. The venue and staff were nice but the food leaves alot to be desired. read more

Service was the only thing great. The food was just okay, and the prices were a bit high for the area. The rice and gravy was terrible it was cheap Walmart brown gravy on cheap white rice. The greens had no flavor, and was just greens, no ham, potatoes, bacon grease or anything to flavor them. We won't be back with so many other great catfish places around. It's more like a chain place. read more

Great food. Really liked the fish. It was fried and seasoned to perfection. I went with healthier sides - tried to offset my love for fried foods with some healthier sides lol. The side salad was great. The side sweet potato was a little over baked. Considering nobody - myself included, typically - orders a sweet potato with fried fish, I'm pretty sure I was the only customer that ordered sweet potato the whole day which meant I got the one that was baking since lunch lol. read more

WANTED to like this place as it is local but it was lacking. Boiled shrimp needed SOME kind of spice on it as it was plain....Cajun? Lemon pepper? Old bay? The large fried catfish platter was pretty small for a "large". Also I thought it needed more seasoning as well and had just a bit too much breading on it. Awesome tarter sauce however! read more

They employ a lot of young people here but our service from Connor was not lacking in any way. I ordered the pick 2 combo and got the fried shrimp and catfish with fries and coleslaw as my sides. The 5 shrimp were very plump and the batter was more of the flour style that I'm not a big fan of but there were good. The 5 pieces of catfish were a tad small in size but they tasted great. Coleslaw needed some salt and pepper but it was edible. Fries were standard but the hush puppies were fantastic. I hadn't been here in over 5 years due to me not being a fan of the thin catfish. But the menu has changed and I will definitely be going back. read more

The food was delicious and the portions large. Our server was friendly and attentive to our needs. There were five of us and we all had different entrees but everyone raved about how good everything tasted. My fried catfish was some of the best I've ever had. The gumbo was thick and tasty. We will go back when we travel through Pearl. read more

Didn't have the greatest experience. The place was decent enough, clean enough, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food wasn't so great though. I didn't care for the batter, just tasted salty and gritty. Fish was ok, portion size was ok. I really wasn't able to eat either of the sides. The greens had a strange sweet taste to them instead of like a smokey slow cooked ham hock kind of pot liquor. The mac & cheese was dry and flavorless. I did get some gumbo as well, and that was one of the better things. I should have mixed it up a bit, as it was ricey on the bottom and soupy on the top, but I didn't realize that till I got to the rice on the bottom. Overall I guess I wouldn't recommend the place. Incidentally, there was a loud table with a bunch of teen/young adult men who were mocking my every move and repeatedly calling me a faggot, like dozens of times in a half hour. I'm not gay - just a northerner, and I wasn't looking for a fight, so it didn't really bother me, but it was an awkward and unusual experience. I guess you can't fault the restaurant for that, but it did make for an uncomfortable meal. I didn't know if it was going to turn into Deliverance, that being my reference point for ignorant men from the south, which these seemed to be... I guess everybody's gotta eat somewhere... read more
