IMO the best catfish and buffalo ribs in central Arkansas! Wild caught fish and great flavor. Not the farm raised fish you get elsewhere. Fresh cut fries and good slaw and beans. Burgers are good.

I like the fact that the fish came out hot but the fries and okra was soggy and luke warm. Neither the fish or the sides had any seasoning. Not a fan of buffalo but we wanted to try it anyway. The sweet tea was off the chain though. Just like I like it! We are coming back to try some different entrees like the burgers and BBQ.

I'd eaten here once before and it was excellent. Unfortunately I pulled into an empty parking lot at 5:30 pm. Both Yelp and Mapquest confirmed that the restaurant should have been open, but there wasn't a soul in sight. I tried calling the phone number but it appears to either be disconnected or listed wrong all over the internet (I tried it from several different pages). It's a shame that this place has either went out of business -- or as another reviewer mentioned -- won't keep steady business hours. Worse yet is them saying they're open for business and not being so, especially when traveling in from a long distance.

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!

The employees were all real sweet, though, constantly checking on us. Here's what we enjoyed: Cajun shrimp (1/2 lb) = $12.50 Blackened catfish = $25.99 (not the best, but it was alright) 1/2 lb crab legs = $12.50 2 corn on the cobs = $2 boiled mushrooms = $1 (damn these were spicy lol) RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 3

Now for the downside, I had ribs and smoked sausage with potato salad and coleslaw. The menu states they are both homemade. It's a mustard potato salad and I am pretty sure I have had both from Sam's wholesale. Both were plain and lacked seasoning. The ribs appeared to be a couple of weeks old and reheated in the microwave. The onion rings that my wife had were huge and crunchy but had no flavor in the batter or salt added after frying. The smoked sausage looked like what I cooked for the 4th. Not smoked just heated and sliced. If not for the cheese dip this would have been a one. Oh staff provided super service no issues there. They cannot control the quality of the food. The table we were sitting at looked homemade and there were some crevices around some knot holes that were full of crumbs! Pretty nasty. I will go back for some cheese dip......to go!!
