Fried Catfish Filet
Zada S.

Always fresh hot and crispy. I could eat this every day of the week but I gotta get yourself a little space in between fried food quick counter service and then you're out the door.

Catfish/Shrimp  Combo
Shanta F.

This is so good, fresh tasting and cooled like my mama's fried catfish. Macaroni and cheese is good too!

Fried Ribs Potato Salad  Mac & Mac and Cheese
Ginell A.

The food was delicious The potato salad especially Service was cold in the beginning, they warmed up while wrapping our orders up We even got T shirt's The location is to go only, no dining in The ambiance is ok We got to catch the catfish and see how it's prepared for cooking

We visited on a Saturday Mid-May at 130pm. Hubby was excited to catch catfish and have it fried fresh. Humble building, small storefront parking and street parking. We met several locals so we knew we were in the spot. I was videographer and knew the fish had to be bopped in the head and skinned but wasn't expecting to see it all happening live. Catfish meal- 4 pieces, came out piping hot fresh and just as he had his taste buds geared up for. We'll be back next time visit Nola.

This food is delicious the service was amazing. The food was hot and fresh. I paid $20 for a fish plate with four fish fillets two size and a drink. The food tasted like it was homemade. I will definitely be back.

Whole catfish plate
Noodle T.

Man start making ya way to the 7th ward!! Make ya darn way there!! Now don't be alarmed by the smell..they have LIVE catfish in there..Took my bae there and I ordered the whole catfish with mac n cheese & fries, she had catfish with the same sides. LISTEN!! That food came out so hot & fresh!! It didn't take long either! The fish was so crispy..so the whole catfish comes with 2 whole fish! Yes 2! Plates come with 2 sides also! They don't have ranch but they do have hot sauce, ketchup, tartar & cocktail sauce..coke products as well! They normally allow you to catch your catfish but they didn't have the big catfish for us to do it..I'm not sure if the lady was the owner or the cook but she was real cool about it when she told us we couldn't do it..this is really a hidden gem! The lady at the counter working was friendly..there's nowhere to sit inside, so be prepared to take ya food to go..overall I'll be back and I'll definitely be sending people there..they close at like 5p or 6p so don't wait too late!! Noodle loved it!

This was the first place on our visit to New Orleans list. As soon as we walked in the guy was telling the patrons in front of us that there were no fish in the tank to fish for. That's literally WHY we came here. They could've have a sign on the door to indicate that as well. We left. Maybe we will try again some other time.

Fresh Catfish Plate
Shalon P.

This place is in a non-descript building. Initially I thought I may have been in the wrong place. But there's a sign out front thankfully. So I walk in and realize it's takeout only. No frills type of place. I ordered the catfish plate with Mac n cheese and potato salad. My mouth was watering on the drive home. Smelled so good. Finally got to eating and the food was really good. Fish is crispy and seasoned while also being meaty. Mac n cheese had a brighter color than I'd expect but the taste was good. Potato salad was surprisingly good as well. They've gained themselves a customer!

Ooo weee! This place is BOMB! So dang good. I'm from cali and people can't fry like this at alll over there!!! Wow the flavor, friedness; and freshness is over the top! If you in New Orleans you better stop by here! A true gem spot!

Fish plate with Mac n cheese and peas
Jakia N.

This place is really good. The fish is fresh. So fresh that they have a pond inside the restaurant where they get the fish from before cutting it up for you. That's as fresh as it gets. I ordered 2 fish plates. One with Mac n cheese and peas and the other with Mac n cheese and fries. The Mac and cheese and fries fish plate was for my picky nieces. The loved everything. They finished the whole plate. That is very rare. I had the catfish with Mac n cheese and peas and it was really good. The catfish was fresh and flaky and seasoned to perfect. The filets were big and meaty. The Mac n cheese was creamy and good. The peas were peas. Lol. The food gets a 10/10. This isn't a place you'd dine in at. The interior isn't fancy at all but that's not what should bring you to this spot . It's the food! Grab a plate and go down to the bayou with a blanket to eat!

The catfish is so good and can't get any fresher. No idea about ambiance, delivery was fast.

I felt like the potato salad was missing something, maybe relish.

Gave this place a try as I was in the city visiting family and it was close to my folks' place…read more Brought them with me. Parking lot looks like it stays full but we got in and there were a couple of tables with people and a lot of people waiting for to go. This was around 6pm. Steady stream of people coming in for pick up orders so someone likes it. Good sign lol So the food is seafood boils or Chinese. Didnt feel like getting messy so went with the Chinese side. We all did. Now a lot of people like to judge any Chinese food against the backdrop of "is it Chinese kitchen?". And we are no different lol but having lived away from the city for a long time and finding nothing is Chinese kitchen, you adjust your scale. And this place was fine. I had the four seasons, moms had the shrimp and broccoli and pops had the shrimp lo mein. We all enjoyed. We also ordered a combo fried rice to share. Also fine. Now the egg rolls, again, judging against the one of a kind, they were fine. They at least had shrimp in them. So better than nothing. I would not have a problem eating here again. Also that sweet tea will give you diabetes. I had three glasses lol Our server was attentive. Answered questions. Checked on is frequent. Give em a shot

This place change management or ownership. I had to return my fried rice with chicken this month…read more Not chunks or slices but tiny cubes. Who cuts up real chicken into 1/4 of an inch cubes? "We don't do refunds" from me returning before I left the side parking lot. I DID get that refund.
