Whole catfish fried

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!!!

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!

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.

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...

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

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

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

Sandra (waitstaff) was great assisting us with our order, very friendly, good customer service…read moreskills. Building was very nicely done & clean. Sitting area was perfect for my family. We ordered Enchiladas Chicken, Quesadilla plate, & they had Aguas Frescas. All the food was hot & taste great. Portions were perfect for the price. This definitely hit my Mexican food need, having been out of NM for 2 weeks. 3 adults eating for $43 wasn't bad at all.

After church, our pastor recommended this place for the tacos and menudo, and the menu offers so…read moremany options to choose from! Definitely authentic Mexican food and decent service. Polish up on your Spanish I was most impressed with the complimentary chips w/3 types of salsa and small bowls of frijoles a la charra for each of us YUM the beans were D-lish! I like to try what hasn't been reviewed yet so I had the Pozole Rojo (red hominy soup w/pork meat & spices) Very big serving bowl with lots of broth w/plain crisp tostadas x3. The Menudo and the Pozole were definitely at least a level 3 spice for me (but I'ma wimp when it comes to spice). The menudo, same generous size bowl, was too spicy for Ma so we took it to-go for my dad. Bro ordered Enchiladas Verdes plate w/chicken.. again very generous portion w/4 enchiladas rice n beans. The green sauce was a little spicy as well for him. He only ate half. Grandson ordered beef asada quesadilla plate which he loved served with rice and beans. Granddaughter ordered 2 plain bean and cheese tostadas but expected cheddar cheese and not queso fresco... well, I gobbled those up for her too! To drink, sweet tea has free refills, the large Jamaica was tasty, and the kids opted for Jarritos. It was 84.99 for three adults and two kids. A little pricy in my opinion but I'd go again to try more menu entrees.

Let me just say 10 out of 10! The $59.00 Mothers Day Special they have going on is well worth it…read more Mind you Mother's Day has already passed and they are still showcasing this special and it is worth every penny! The special includes: 1lb of shrimp (no head), lb of crawfish, lb of snowcrab clusters, sausages, corn & potatoes, plus a cocktail of your choice! The boom sauce is a must have for your seafood bag! The flavor is quite delicious and is combined of all the sauces together. This was definitely a good pick for me and my Mom to try. We both expressed our intention to return. We appreciate our wonderful service from Kieuanna, as she made sure we were well taken care of. This is a great place to get some tasty seafood and enjoy a nice Saturday out in Cedar Hill, TX!

The seafood boil was delicious although many of the snow crab legs were very skinny. The fried…read moreshrimp basket was very good according to my son. My second son is not a huge fan of seafood and complained that the menu needed more non-seafood options. He had chicken strips. I had leftovers from my two pound seafood boil. After retrieving it from the refrigerator the next day, I noticed the "butter" had not solidified which is evidence that they serve oil instead of butter for dipping the crab and shrimp. Serve real BUTTER. No one wants oil.
