    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.

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.

The soup, in particular, wasn't quite what I expected, it tasted like the broth may have been boxed or just made very different.
