Paw Paws Catfish House

Hands down the best fried catfish I've had in a long time. I had the combo basket with fried shrimp too, it was excellent. We also ordered fried pickle spears and fried deviled eggs. The pickles were awesome, but I was not a fan of the deep fried deviled eggs.

What excellent food, great atmosphere, and great service. Go on by and let Kaydee or one of the other awesome servers serve you up some exquisite food! Catfish pivot blackened is the best!

Great!! Everything was perfect from the service to the food! Huge shrimp and tasty... All of it! A great little place in downtown Bastrop. Will be back many more time

There were 5 of us for an early dinner on a Saturday. I ordered their fish & shrimp combo with onion rings & green beans. The shrimp were extra large and both the fish & shrimp was delicious! Great onion rings & nicely seasoned green beans! We all enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back!!

Paw Paw’s is a mom and pop restaurant, the staff was super nice and easy to talk to :)When I went for lunch it was great to see a whole group of elderly people in theirs red shirts. The vibe is small town but with huge flavor. I recommend the catfish platter, and of course their fried pickles.
