Was wanting catfish, and after a long morning of youth sports administration, I found this place on Uber Eats. I'm glad that I had not read the reviews first because I would not have ordered. The food was awesome! It was delivered within a timely manner, as well. It was hot and cooked to my specifications with the catfish. The fries were good and hot, and, the fried okra (which is one of my favorite veggies) was fried to perfection!!! It's hard to mess up fried okra, yet, some folks do. Oh and that Cake Daddy Lemon Crunch cake bowl was delish!! I will be ordering more! read more

The Catfish Connection - 2pc Fillet, Fries, Fried Small Okra - Seafood Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

This location is off of Clark and Beltline in Cedar Hill Texas. Do not get it wrong or twisted in the original unfranchised location at Kiest and Hampton in Dallas(Oak Cliff) a neighborhood I grew up in. The inside smelled of fried fish but in a good way. It smelled appealing and appetizing to eat! There are chairs to sit down in as you wait(20 mins or more ) depending on your order. If you are ordering door dash or any type of grubhub to go then add that wait time in your arrival estimated time arrival (e t a ). I ordered a whole catfish and fried shrimp(6pc/half spicy added a dollar for a split order of spice). I was assured by the cashier taking the order that it is farmed raised and not Vietnam swai catfish which do not have the same texture. The texture is soft and mushy in texture to a warm hunger mouth! There were no frying sounds coming from the kitchen! It was quiet in the place! There was no music at all while you wait. I have some travel time of no more than 10 mins if there is no accident or traffic to contend with. The cost of the shrimp with fries was 16 dollars the whole fish fried was 25 dollars a total of approximately 48 dollars. Not worth the drive if more than 10 miles away!!!!! The food did not travel well it was fairly hot but the taste was not there!!! read more

Once a place an order I'm new over here so I said let me try it two pieces of catfish and three shrimp for $26. I get home and the food was scorched burned the fries scorched burned. I couldn't believe it. Waste of money do better please I won't be back. Price is too high. read more

I didn't enjoy this location in Cedar Hill, the flavor of the fish is definitely is not good. The fish was fried hard like I like, but they didn't have any seasoning like it was like very basic and they charge a 3.99% service fee for using your card. read more

I waited almost 45 minutes for some cold and hard fries and strips. I ordered the 3 pc dark but they must have forgot it cooking because it was overcooked, dark meat should not be hard and dry. Gave it two stars because the customer service was good. read more

The customer service STINKS. Secondly I waited 35 to 40 minutes for my order only for them to get it completely wrong!!

Thus was the worst fish ever, over priced, no seasoning, less for your money, fish cooked soft. 2 fillets smaller than a woman hand for 15.00 not good at all!!!! read more

The Cedar Hill place is so much less than the Kiersten location. I honestly believe they are not the same company, just the same name. The food here was just ok and the portion size is laughable. The fries were good, but so are McDonald's, and I no longer go there either. I've tried this location only once and will not be returning. read more

Stopped by for dinner orders a 5 pc catfish filet but you really get two because it seems as if they cut a filet in half and it counts for two so I pay good money to get cheated out of my filet pieces not good there is to much competition out there to continue purchasing from this franchise so stop cheating people on the pieces and you will make more money in the long run read more

Never a bad experience here. Come give them a try, you won't be disappointed. My fish never makes it home. Lol read more

The Catfish Connection - 12 count spicy catfish nugget basket - Seafood Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

If you know, you know! Catfish Connection in Oak Cliff is legendary! And the same here must I say. Prepare to be wowed in the spicy crunchy great catfish fillets are worth the 20 minute fry time. Cooked to order says it all for me. Seafood is hot and fresh. Served with freshly cut russet shoestring potatoes and jalapeño pepper. I highly recommend call in orders. Unless a fan of sitting in your car while your order is being prepared. I only had the fried catfish. However shrimp were on the menu also. Service was absolutely fabulous! All smiles. Both cash and credit card are accepted methods of payment. Take out service only. No ambiance but delicious fried catfish. read more

This place used to be really good and I don't know what has happened recently, but it doesn't taste the same and I'm very disappointed at the quality of the food. I ordered hush puppies and got four. I ordered extra crispy fries and I don't know what mushy mess I received Even the fries Don't hit like they used to. I asked for a spicy catfish I guess they changed how they do it. But it wasn't as good as they usually do. Be consistent for all the money that I spent. I had to throw half of it away, which is very disappointing because it was inedible. Needless to say I was very disappointed and more than likely won't be returning. read more

Fish in the metroplex no question. Of course you have to have patience while waiting, but it's worth it for quality food.

I got catsfish strips with fries, it was like $13 with tax, there was a 10 minute wait or so. I got it to go but it looked okay inside. The lady was nice. I thought it was a lot of food for the price when I got it home. I really liked how everything tasted, I went 4 but I definitely thought about going 5. I'd definitely recommend and will be back. read more

The price you pay for this quality of food is a deal. Real catfish, fried hard and real fries. The food is seasoned well.

This place is trash. I got the 2 piece catfish dinner. The catfish tasted like it had been reheated and the frys were dry and old. Don't waste your time this place is a bust... read more

Having moved here just over three years ago, I don't think we're ever going to find a good catfish place since we've tried so many and none of them are very good. This place is another example of over-priced average (at best) catfish. We will not be going back here again. read more

I wish I could give my review exclamation marks...that's how good the food was...I had fish nuggets, corn fritters, fries, onion rings, jalapeño poppers, cake pop (don't judge my hunger lol) and the homemade tarter sauce. Yumm yumm and yumm again! I will absolutely be back! read more

Absolutely Not! The lady at the front told us there was a 45 min wait, when all the sell is Fish!

The customer service on 12.21.24 was awful. I called in a 20 piece fillet order at 4pm for 630 pm pickup. I was asked to pay over the phone because of the size of the order. My son arrived for pickup and the order was not ready. Could not find the order and was questioned about payment. Was told they were working on it. 30 minutes later still no fish. My son left out if frustration. I called and was put on hold for I know 15 minutes. I saw the charge had gone through on my card and proceeded to go to the place to work out this mess. One hour later at 730 I finally have my order with no apologies or anything done to compensate for the confusion and inconvenience. I asked for the manager.....no manager. I'm done with this location!! read more

Not sure if it was real catfish, tasted more like swai. Customer service was 10/10. The inside was very clean and open. The boudin balls were the best thing we ordered. read more

This is the fish I received the other day (5 piece fish basket)...horrible! It looks like old grease plus it was overcooked. The 3 stars is because I have had better from this location but this was definitely not it. read more

Nasty. If you're reading this review...Don't listen to the fake reviews. Look on nextdoor too. Nextdoor talks about how baaaad the Cedar Hill location is. Fish was terrible. But the original location in Dallas is fine on Hampton Road in Dallas. The Hampton location is fine. This one. Terrible!!! read more

The staff was young Friday afternoon, I only ordered a 2 piece fillet and had a 45 minute wait as did the 4 orders ahead of me. My order was disappointing. Customer service and urgency in timely delivery was lacking. The floors needed deep cleaning. read more

Best Spicy catfish in Dallas! You could taste the flavor and it was crispy just as it should be. Customer service was on point too. The owner greeted me and my family as we walked in and he brought out our food. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Fish and fries greasy and dark brown, possibly cooked in old oil, it didn't taste as fresh because of how it was mad.

The fish was a disappointment, And was not worth the long wait , never will order from this place again

I love their spicy catfish! And don't forget to grab a cake. Their customer service is amazing too. Not to often do you go into a fish spot and get this type of service! The young ladies are always so sweet. If you haven't been...GO! read more
