Limited hours and menu, but great catfish! by Anna M. at InsiderPages

Contributor at Insider Pages

As you might expect, their specialty is catfish. It comes one way (battered and fried) but anytime I have a catfish-loving friend in town, we go there for a treat.

Be advised though that they have three - count 'em three - main course items on their menu. Catfish, chicken strips, shrimp and all of them are prepared with the same batter. This makes for speedy service (and the batter* is out of this world!) but it may disgruntle some folks looking for a wide variety of main courses. They do catfish, and they do it well. Also they have great pies! (The cobblers are okay but the pies are definitely a treat.) Usually a meal there runs us about $12-15 a person, so it can be slightly higher than normal for what you are getting (ie. chicken strips for $8) but considering the food is always good and the hours are limited it is understandable.

Hours are Fridays and Saturdays ONLY, open from 5 PM to 9 PM, and that's seasonal from Spring through Fall. If you love battered and fried catfish, check out Allison's!

*Peanut Allergy Note: All main course items are fried in peanut oil.

PROS: Great catfish, speedy service, usually friendly staff, nice grounds

CONS: Limited menu and hours, slightly higher prices
