    Fried Catfish Dinner

    My husband and I ate at The Catfish House last night! All I can say is WOW! We had the most amazing experience from the time we checked in to when we paid our check! They were super busy and we had heard they were so we did go early expecting to wait! The staff greeted us and took our name! Seemed very glad to see us even thought she had three waiting in line to pay! We waited a little bit and were seated! My husband was super impressed with the size of the drink glasses and they had the larger straws!! He was happy right out of the gate! We did have catfish dinners because that's what they are known for for! Seemed about three to four waitresses in all but we did have one that was specifically for us! Saying that because everyone of them if close to a table would ask if we needed drink refills etc! So great service during the whole meal! Catfish was perfectly cooked not greasy but done! I love catfish so I am sort of picky about how it's cooked! They have a cute little niche with their hush puppies which I loved because it's also my favorite thing! Two is never enough for me! But they way they cook them you like get a helping!! Much more than just two! Slaw was great! We had baked potatoes also! We also heard there other menu items were very good so we will go back and hopefully try other things! But for sure it will be a regular adventure for us! They are open Thursday Friday and Saturday! We went with friends so I added so photos of their meals as well! Closed Sundays I am a fan of that because it gives their employees time off for church!! Overall 10/10! See you all again soon!! Thanks Catfish House

    The helpings were plentiful, the seasonings and the taste were on spot with everything, the fish, the slaw, the white beans, and hush puppies.

    Came on the recommendation from a friend (04/25/2026), I'd heard mixed reviews so I was curious…read moreabout this place. I'll give them 4.75 stars, but they did fantastic so I'll round up for this place. First, we walk in the door and Zack walked past and complimented the boss on her snazzy shirt and a few other staff were friendly too so the vibe was nice to start off. We were then led to our table to discover Zack is our server for the night. Another compliment on the bosses glasses, okay she did look great - Thanks Zack! Drinks come out super fast and we get our food ordered. Zack was great helping with Alpha Gal and later following up with the kitchen staff that they had in fact not put butter on my fish - another win. I ordered the red fish special (I think) with a baked potato and the boss got the Harris Platter. Zack recommended blackened and was so right, delicious! I tried her fired catfish and that was delicious too, but would have dipped it in hot sauce, but the cocktail sauce was so yummy with a nice horseradish bite - delicious and maybe better than hot sauce (slander I know). That 0.25 off - well the hushpuppies were kinda gross and bland. This is the south so quality hushpuppies are a must. Ask for Zack, you will not be dissapointed.

    My friend and I were in Paducah shopping and decided to have dinner at Stricklands. It was a…read morebeautiful afternoon so we sat outside. The waitress was very kind and helpful. We ordered drinks. I ordered a double Basil Hayden sour and my friend Tanqueray and tonic. We had shrimp, crab cakes, mahi and Ahi. All were delicious. Half way through the meal we ordered another drink. When the check came my 2 drinks were $56. $28 each. I understand that a double is 2ce the price as a single but in a place where 95% of the menu items are $20ish or less and the restaurant is NOT high end one would not expect to pay this much for a drink. If you are going to charge above average prices they should be disclosed. No prices are on the menu.
