    Catfish
    James T.

    I have been going to Bills for 45 years now. My grandparents used to take me to Bills as a child. Now I will drive over an hour out of my way every time I go to Oklahoma. My family lives in Houston now but we still go to Bills at least twice a year. The thin cut catfish is the best. I would probably drink the tartar sauce if they would let me. It may not look like much from the outside but the best things rarely do.

    For a restaurant in the middle of no where it was an interesting option for lunch! Apparently people come from all over to dine at Bill's. We were traveling on business and one of our co-workers in Frederick, OK suggested this place for lunch. Right off the bat we knew we had to try the Frogs Legs as an appetizer. We also chose the Steak Fingers - both came to the table piping hot! We had to wait until they cooled down. I ordered the Half Order of Catfish with Onion Rings. My counterparts decided to go with the full order of Catfish with fries. Then another Half Order of Catfish with fries - that was plenty of food. I would recommend the Onion Rings, fries hmmmm they are fries so nothing new. The Frog Legs were really good once they cooled! My colleagues liked the Steak Fingers and accompanying gravy. It's doubtful I'll make way back to dine there again but it's worthy for a first time visit

    They have a brick at the park off of Main Street by the pretty mural.

    I'm born and raised in Southern California and if I'm gonna eat catfish, it's at Bill's!! I always thought catfish was nasty and tasted dirty - until I visited Bill's for the first time. Wowee does their fried catfish taste incredible! I literally wait to eat catfish until we're in Waurika at Bill's. It is that good! Bill's opened in 1962 according to the brick there at the park off Main Street. My husband (age 65) remembers his grandparents talking about a new restaurant that opened up at the edge of town when he was young. Why has Bill's lasted so many decades? Because it is friendly service and delicious food! My husband was born in Waurika and we visit every year. His parents met there & all of his grandparents lived there and grandparents are all buried at Waurika Cemetery. His maternal grandfather was Bill Fechtel and he was the phone man. If you're anywhere near Waurika, do yourself a favor and stop by Bill's for some delicious fried catfish! I like it thick cut and their servings are so generous that my husband and I split an order. Also, they have incredible hush puppies and even their coleslaw is good though most coleslaw at most restaurants is forgettable. I look forward to dining at Bill's every time we're in Waurika. I hope you will, too!

    Great food I highly recommend trying this place They offer thick and thin catfish fillets. Ask for the thick ones. Sweet tea was on point ! And the butterfly shrimp will not disappoint you. We drove a 130 miles to try this place and we will be back.

    This old man from California got lost and stumbled into this establishment hungry. Never had catfish before. And god damn this was the best damn fish I've ever had. Hush puppies...great!! Fries and onion rings.... Awesome!!! Fried catfish.....god damn freaking awesome!!! Drove 20+ hours. I'll be back!!

This visit did not disappoint me. The tacos were delicious and flavorful. I also tried some recommended favorites of friends. The Lobster and Shrimp Taco was amazing. It was well seasoned and the scampi sauce was finger licking good! It was delightful and delectable bite. The Philly Cheesesteak was loaded with peppers, onions and lots of meat. It was a great tasting and fun taco. The Spicy Mango Margarita on happy hour was perfect. It had a nice kick and the tajin rim was the perfect touch. The ambiance is so cool for tacos. It's just the cutest place. A happy and colorful restaurant. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. Service was good the waiter was pleasant. I took my mom with me and she enjoyed herself. I left feeling happy, full and SATISFIED! I think places deserve second chances. I can say it lived up to the hype and exceeded my expectations. It was an incredible experience and excellent visit.

    This one was hard to rate 4 stars for food…read more3 for service and cost On the one hand the interior is beautiful, stunning and so fun. The menu has so many tasty offerings and the food was delicious. However, the prices are, in my opinion, steep for street size food. My Mahi Mahi taco was delicious, but it was small. I was still hungry and could have easily ordered a second or even third taco BUT at $11 for one taco that was too steep for lunch. Instead, Dani and I PAID to split chips + salsa - not free, but a paid appetizer. Our server was so quiet we had trouble hearing him and he mostly left us to ourselves, occasionally dropping by to fill waters. Dream Tacos has excellent food, but the portion sizes and cost are far too steep for this area and for being a taco joint. Sadly, I don't think they will last at these ptoces in this location.

    A great spot for some fresh seafood in Plano!…read more There is not many good seafood restaurants in DFW however this is one must try. They have a great happy hour with awesome staff here at the bar area, which is open seating. The cocktails are excellent, and what I would want when paying a higher dollar for drinks. Oysters (baked) are just so good and half off during the happy hour as well. Most entrees we have tried here have satisfied. Completely recommend this restaurant to people who are looking to have seafood. & its all even better during their discounted happy hour.

    1 Star After…read morespending thousands of dollars at this Truluck's location over the years, and being a Trulucks Dallas customer for over 10 years, I was shocked by how I was treated by the Plano Manager Ali during my most recent visit. I've had only 2 food issues over the years. On one occasion, I sent back a poor-quality prime rib. On another, my lobster was overcooked and had to be replaced. Both were legitimate quality concerns that any restaurant of this caliber should address. During this visit, I ordered the crab flight, which was advertised as including three different types of crab at 1/2 pound each. One of the crab selections was clearly not a 1/2-pound portion. After waiting approximately 15 minutes and requesting to speak with the manager three separate times, Ali finally came to the table. Instead of listening to my concern or attempting to resolve the issue, he immediately became dismissive and told me there was nothing they could do. His justification was that "they have tried to help me in the past," apparently referring to previous occasions when the restaurant corrected legitimate mistakes with my meals. He offered no solution, no effort to verify the portion, and no interest in retaining a loyal customer. The interaction was abrupt, rude, and unprofessional. I felt singled out and targeted simply for bringing a valid concern to management's attention. What was most disappointing wasn't the portion issue itself--it was the complete lack of customer service and respect from a manager at a restaurant that positions itself as a fine dining establishment. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I can no longer recommend this location.

The restaurant itself is filled with odd, old and dated Americana all over the walls. Waiting area is itself the size of a small restaurant with mismatched furniture and country singer memorabilia everywhere. One of their bathrooms had a broken knob and locked a poor gal inside. Wait to be seated took for-ever, an hour on a slow day. Kendall's is just an okay place, nothing at all to warrant all of the hype. But not bad.
