The Catfish Place

We came to this place as a recommendation from our airboat driver at Spirit of the swamp tours. Captain Chris said we could get some great catfish here. since the family and I had never tried catfish we ordered the sampler which consisted of frog legs catfish, alligator tail and turtle. All of them were surprisingly good and nothing like what we w
ere expecting. I've never had any of those before and the most surprising was probably the turtle which tasted just like a steak bite. Denise was our server and she was very polite and was the one that recommended the foods to us. For dessert we had the Frenchsilk pie, key lime pie, and peanut butter pie. it's a long drive down there but if we're ever in the area again we will definitely be back. The bathrooms were average, but smelled fantastic.

My rating system consists of a 3-star being exactly what you expected and neither good nor bad. A 4 means something was extra special and a 5 means you were blown away. A 2 star rating was disappointing and a 1-star rating means nothing went right.

Fried jumbo shrimp the best. Their chef/s need to teach Red Lobster how to cook shrimp perfectly. Alligator very good too. Green fried tomatoes may beat my Mom's tomatoes.

Good gator bites. Fried shrimp are good. Good Cole slaw and hush puppies. Nice friendly service.

Only did a quick take out but the food was delicious!! The shrimp & hushpuppies were off the hook. Never had catfish but thanks to the Catfish place I will more often. Prices are reasonable & they have good deals.

Always look forward to dinner there for their prompt service and well prepared food. Love the freshly cooked fish and other seafood on the menu. Dinners come with 1 side, coleslaw, and hush puppies. Get there early to get a table. Enjoy.
