    2 fried catfish
    Tae S.

    The fish was fried perfectly. I came out piping out with fries, two slices of white bread, a pepper and pickles. I love an old school southern catfish place. Inside in a decent size. The place is very clean and you order at the counter. We also tried the link which was peppery. I enjoyed this place.

    Fresh, hot, and good!!!!!!!! Again, fresh, hot, and good. Only con, they don't make their own starter sauce. The packet condiments are horrible!! But the fish is good, so there's that.

    Location is easy to find, you can dine in or takeout. Yes it's real catfish, season just right on my first go round. I was told I would be back next week for another plate ha ha. Service was good, about 15 mins once you order. The 3 piece plate was just enough for me. Fries, pepper, pickles and bread. Now part two of me returning 2 weeks later, I was a little disappointed fish was fried harder than I would have liked and grease needed to be changed. However, i will give it another go.

    When you've eaten enough bad fried fish, you'll welcome this spot. On the way to Waxahachie, I turned in to try it out. For six pieces of fish, fries, 4 slices of bread, and pickles & onions for $41.14. That averages nearly $14 for 3 people. Fish was piping hot, fried to perfection, and seasoned lightly. Fries were crinkle cut, crispy, and seasoned. This was such a treat from what I

    I thought the food was really good and the prices match the value of the meal. The fillets are huge in the links are grilled to perfection. My only note is that it just needs a little bit more seasoning on the fish but it wasn't unseasoned I just prefer it more heavily seasoned.

    Catfish strips. So much value for the price!

    Updating to let y'all know that Best Thing Flopping is STILL the best catfish! I've moved from the 2 PC filet meal to the catfish strips meal. So good. Perfectly seasoned. Perfectly fried. I happen to love crinkle fries so they are great. They've also added online ordering which is great and convenient. They added a Dallas location. If you haven't already, go try them!

    3 piece catfish fillets with fries

    Decent fish like seriously!! Taste was good but could have had some more seasonings, and the fillets were a really nice size and thick . They seem to be a pretty popular spot in red oak . The Parking lot is small and shared with a couple of other businesses, so parking was a little tricky but I easily got in and out . When I Walked in there were like 5 other people already waiting for their Togo orders , I watched as they took multiple orders on the phone before being able to assist me . So it's safe to say, people like them . My personal preference when it comes to getting catfish cooked outside of my home, I prefer it to be ; Fried crispy, thick, plenty of meat , nicely seasoned and most importantly a great tartar sauce. A great tater sauce will turn the not so best fish into the best thing ever . To me , The fish here could have had some more season and a homemade tartar sauce would have gave me a food orgasm. Overall , I wasn't dissatisfied with my visit , and if ever in that area again and I want some catfish , I'd definitely circle back to this place for sure ...

    See all

    Decent food sizes. The fish was hot and portions left you no desire to for anything else.

    Fish is fire... the wait was pretty long but that's to be expected to a popular fish place in Dallas, Texas!
