    Fred's Fish House - Some of the best hush puppies I've ever eaten!

    Went for lunch after work. Ordered the fried crawfish tails and the big-un catfish dinner. Crawfish…read moretails were great. Loved the dipping sauce and spicy cocktail sauce. Catfish was great. Its the real deal not that asian import garbage most places serve. Ill definitely be back. If you love good crispy catfish check this place out.

    A group of colleagues and friends recently gathered here for lunch within this restaurant's modest…read moreparty room, which consisted of two long tables, with comfortable seating for twenty or so people. It was my very first time dining here. When you walk up to the front entrance, you're greeted by a set of concrete steps, which are reminiscent of an old-timey church. (If you're handicapped, there's an entrance around the corner that leads through their kitchen.) Although this joint specializes in catfish, I grew up fishing and eating walleye, northern pike, bass, etc. I never developed any taste for a fish that had a muddy flavor. So, I ended up ordering the chopped beef steak (3/4ths pound) with extra mushrooms, extra onions, and red peppers. For my sides, I went with grilled vegetables and coleslaw. It also came with a perfectly browned piece of toast. Because virtually everyone else ordered catfish or some variation, the servers brought out hush puppies, brown beans, and pickled green tomatoes for everyone (including me). On this hot and humid day, I enjoyed and appreciated multiple cups of refreshing, unsweetened iced tea. My favorite foods included the deliciously creamy coleslaw, the pleasantly and unexpectedly tasty and tangy pickled green tomatoes, and the crunchy hush puppies. Be sure to request a side or two of their tangy tartar sauce for dipping the hush puppies into. I don't know which kitchen worker decided to spill the salt shaker onto my grilled vegetables! There was zero finesse whatsoever with how they chose to season something that needed none at all. The two female servers were efficient and very patient with our large and talkative group. My bill for my meal and drink was less than $20.00! I was very pleased with how affordable this restaurant was. I would probably return again, if in the area, now that I'm familiar with how the food is prepared here. Three and a half stars, rounded down to three, mainly due to their overuse of sodium in some of their offerings.

    Well let's revisit a favorite! Had dinner there last night. Had Redfish Pontchatrain. Being a…read morenative Louisiana guy you have to go above and beyond to impress me. The owner chef Dewitt not only had the most fresh red fish I've ever had. The presentation was a 10 out of a 10. The Sherri's special which includes the most amazing lump crab meat and fried green tomatoes with Remoulade it's always a must get for the table. The food quality at this restaurant far exceeds some of the most amazing high-end restaurants in New Orleans. It is absolutely worth the drive to go to Heber Springs and eat at this restaurant. In addition it's Mardi Gras season and Miss Sherri is baking king cakes that will rival anything in New Orleans take the trip you will be rewarded with the most amazing food ever.

    The food is true Cajun and also spans fried, comfort, and vegetable dishes. This is a hard place…read morefor vegetarians but not impossible (salad with vinaigrette and sweet potato fries! Veg sides). The food is so fresh and flavorful. Service was exceptional - quick, detailed, generous. I tipped 35% it was so good. Ambiance is mixed--kind of cavernous in one room; plastic tablecloths and photographs stapled to the wall are incongruous with the price point of the food but I don't personally care. I was comfortable there. They have an adults only dining area which seems neat; and string lights
