Last night I was craving a house salad with honey mustard dressing, baked potato and an order of hush puppies. I know, why no fish? Just not in the mood. I saw my long-time favorite waitress as I headed over to the bar. We chit-chatted and she even wrote up my order for me. The bartender was very pleasant and efficient. I would not expect anything else from Catfish & Company. We have been in the area for 27 years and C&C holds special memories for us. Truly the catfish is very good and recommended by many regulars. Go soon and enjoy. Unfortunately the owners were not there last night for me to tell them in person. PS: they have my favorite Key Lime Pie! read more

Review for Catfish & Company On Friday, March 13, 2026 around 1:00 p.m., I experienced some of the most inattentive service I have ever encountered at this restaurant. I was seated in a section where a waitress appeared to be focused on a large group of "Red Hat" ladies. She brought me an Arnold Palmer and hush puppies, but never returned to take my order. When my friend arrived, I informed her. She acknowledged us and said she would be back in a few minutes. What happened next was astonishing: she proceeded to serve multiple tables around us while completely ignoring our booth. Not once did she stop by to take our order, apologize for the delay, or even acknowledge that we had been waiting. Watching every surrounding table receive service while we were treated as if we were invisible was beyond frustrating--it was simply unacceptable. What makes this even more disappointing is that my family has a long history with this restaurant. We have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and retirements here over the years, which is why this experience felt so out of character and frankly disrespectful. To their credit, the assistant manager stepped in and reassigned our table to a male server, who immediately provided excellent service and salvaged the situation. However, the fact that a paying customer had to be rescued from being ignored at their own table suggests something is broken in the service culture. A refresher in basic hospitality--acknowledging guests, managing sections, and communicating delays--might be overdue. If I return, I will absolutely refuse to be seated in this server's section again--even if it means waiting. Because good food should never come with the side dish of being ignored.

Since Darla left, the service has become terrible. Julie isn't a bad server, but she won't check back to refill your drinks. Once she drops off the food, you won't see her again until she brings the check. Our drink glasses were completely empty and no Julie around. Jeremy is just as inattentive, plus I've been in the restroom washing my hands and he walks out of one of the stalls and goes back to work without washing his hands. Disgusting! Claudia is also inattentive asked a very poor server. My family and I no longer go there since Darla is gone. read more

This is a Fort Worth gem! AYCE catfish and shrimp on Mondays and Tuesdays! Best catfish all around! Excellent service, ambiance and people! It's very relaxing with a tropical stetting. I love this place! Thanks and God bless... read more

It was very tasty. Just classic nothing fancy... If you want good catfish or fried shrimp or any of that variety of food this is your place. The ambulance is not fancy. It's just comfortable. Though it is a little loud with all the people around. Our weight staff was very helpful. read more

Catfish and Company is becoming one of our favorite spots for Lunch the service is always friendly, food is good and the environment is clean, really enjoy the aquariums here when eating. It's an older crowd for lunch special between at 11-2 we fit right in. read more

It was another phenomenal visit to Catfish and Company with our dining out Toastmasters Club. Our group loves meeting at the restaurant. They've got a great private room and service is GREAT! Jessie, our server for the evening, greeted everyone as they arrived and took drink orders. My wife, who isn't a big fish lover, ordered her usual salad topped with chicken. I decided on the combination platter with catfish, stuffed crab, and fried shrimp, accompanied by a loaded baked potato. As we waited, we munched on Catfish and Company's incredible hush puppies. YUMMY! Food and service were as expected ... wonderful!! We'll all be back again soon. read more

Catfish & Company has been a staple for many years and we randomly decided today was a great day for seafood. Visually the atmosphere and decor is basic seafood/beachy vibes. I think it could be updated a little bit but I do love the stained glass windows and giant fish tank , beautiful touch. The service was outstanding. Our waitress was informative, attentive, and kind. She made sure we were well taken care of and answered my menu questions. We ordered fried mushrooms for an appetizer, baby boil with extra crab clusters and fried white fish with fries and green beans. All of the food was great! I noticed the hush puppies that are brought out complimentary are balls instead of the sticks, that's kind of a bummer! But they were still tasty. I didn't care for the shrimp on the boil but the crab and potatoes were great. Next time I will just get the crab. read more

Been going here for years. And pretty much the restaurant experience is a function of good management. I asked if the oysters were good(a valid question for oysters). Waitress said yes... She brought them out and the odor of them reached me long before they hit the table. They were flat out spoiled and rank. Sent them back with no apologies or acknowledgement. Ordered a Pepsi that never showed up so I walked around the restaurant and bar area to get something to drink....not a single emloyee in the front of the house. They brought out the salads and two minutes later they brought the entrees making everybody shove their salad to the side. Another birthday dinner ruined. Sadly, McDonalds is the only restaurant that you can trust anymore. read more

Long time restaurant - not fancy but clean and comfortable with really good food at reasonable prices. Not everything is fried! You can choose your type of fish too. Mahi, redfish, trout, snapper to name a few. Grilled, blackened or broiled. Many other options. Our service was great and paced appropriately. read more

Jeff our waiter was great. I hadn't been here since my grandma passed away and was disappointed to see the hush puppies had changed. This use to be a place we regularly went for lunch. The food was decent. I'd give it all 6.5 out of 10. Wouldn't be where I came for seafood again but not horrible. read more

Food today was not the norm, usually when I come here I am satisfied and leave happy as this is generally one of the good ole times restaurants-- today was not the day.. 1) Hushpuppies have changed and the waiter did give us the explanation as to why ( still they weren't near the same) 2) next up they have switched their fries to quick fries ( I personally despise quick fries) 3) we came late and I got a baked potato- it tasted like the dirt it was dug up in 4) the normally great pinto beans now possess a new bitter Cajun tasting spice that was not an upgrade- ALL This however was probably covered up by the fact that our waiter was exceptional! read more

Catfish & Company - New hush puppy - Seafood Near Me - Hurst, Texas

I appreciate that Catfish & Company offers an all-you-can-eat catfish special--that's really the only way I felt it was worth it. The fish itself was just okay. They have two options: Cajun and regular. I went with the Cajun, and while it had a little flavor, it wasn't anything spectacular. The catfish tasted authentic, which I liked, but it didn't really stand out. Same with the hush puppies--decent, but not memorable. Prices were moderate, so no complaints there, but if you're going to make the trip, I'd definitely recommend doing the all-you-can-eat to get your money's worth. Overall, not bad--but not a place I'd rush back to unless I'm craving a big catfish fix. read more

Yum!! We came for the all you can eat catfish & shrimp. Even the French fries and Cole slaw were all you can eat. It's so much food on the original plate I never got more, but my husband did order more fish & shrimp. Served piping hot and great crisp crunch to the batter. Catfish is delicious, shrimp is super yummy! We did start off with the stingray appetizer which is fried shrimp with cream cheese and jalapeno, this is sooooo good! Plus it's served with a great sauce with a slight kick to it. I don't so spicy, but these are perfect! They serve hush puppies and butter to entire table before ordering. Decor is cute marine sea side with 2 separate fish aquariums. Relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. Bonus saving when signed up for their emails as they send coupons on top of their good prices, so it's a win win! read more

Fish and sides are good. Finger style hush puppies went away but the balled style are still really good. A few things have changed but the quality is still there. Service is southern charm and consistent. Don't give up on them because of the hush puppies. Ambiance is the same as always was. Good stable experience. read more

In town for work and this restaurant was close to my hotel. It had nice Yelp reviews so I decided to check it out. The reviews were on point. This is a great place.

Party of 3. Fried catfish seemed to be different. The texture was not the same as catfish and there was no fat in the filet. So we are thinking it was Swai fish. Batter was good but it was more of a stick. Stuffed shrimp was great. Clam strips were ok, chewy and a but more fishy flavor. Fried okra, coleslaw and beans were good. Service was great! I would check this place out again and pay more attention to the cut of my fish. There was a party next to us and their catfish was big and think. read more

While the service was great, I am pretty sure I was eating swai instead of true catfish. My husband was disappointed as we have been searching for perfectly seasoned catfish in DFW for a while. I will say that the hush puppies tasted okay. Other than that, it is just a restaurant for a quick bite for most. Don't expect much quality or flavor. read more

We went looking for a new catfish place and thanks to Yelp we decided to try Catfish & Company. Very nice atmosphere walking in the door. Clean, nice theme and friendly greeting. The hush puppies came out with our server. They are as addicting as the reviews suggest. I had the gumbo to start and it was good. Nice roux and just right amount of heat. Main course was catfish strips with fried shrimp. Light coating, crispy and fresh. Very nice. We also had a peach margarita that could serve four and was fantastic. All in all a great meal at a good price. I recommend. read more

I have been eating here for over 20 years. I moved from Hurst many years ago to a nearby city. Went over for Christmas dinner. Popcorn shrimp and grilled catfish for spouse. Service: OK. Catfish: just ok, edible. Popcorn shrimp: way overcooked and dark brown. Small shrimp hard, like the had been re-cooked. Sides: Okra- very good. Cole slaw- watery milk. Fries- really weird undercooked with lots of dark eyes.. Hush pups- round little over-cooked balls now, not the previous long one's that were very good Silverware: had to get up and get more, original had baked on food on the fork. yuk. Waaay overpriced for the quality. $42+ for 2 entrees, no drinks, no sides, and before tip. With drinks and a side, would have easily been over $60. This will probably be my last journey over there. It used to be good. It has slipped. I hope the owners read these reviews. Some corrections should be made. The cook and initial food quality are the main culprits. If it is not possible to make a consistent quality entre for the over-priced asking, make adjustments. I know things are expensive, but unfortunately, it is not my responsibility to support this as a charity. Back off the pricing, get a good cook. Consistency is they key. Getting a lucky good meal every now and then is no good. read more

Delicious food and great service! My husband and daughter each ordered the Baby Boil. I ordered the grilled chicken with rice, baked potato and coleslaw. My son had the chicken tenders with fries and corn. Everything was perfectly cooked. Our waiter did an excellent job of keeping our drinks refilled. The complimentary hush puppies were yummy. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Multiple employees stopped by to say hi and check on us. Definitely recommend! read more

Fantastic service and savory appetizers and meals made our visit to you to Catfish and Company both memorable and very enjoyable. The staff are terrific, warm and welcoming.

Food was great & a great value as well. The hush puppies before the meal were outstanding - especially when you add the whipped butter to them. We had the onion rings as appetizer and these were great as well. Server was top notch. Serving size is more than adequate we ordered 3 small catfish dinners(2 large fillets), a popcorn shrimp and catfish strip dinner and had to get to go boxes. read more

All the reviews made this place sound great. It was not yesterday. My catfish was very dry and tough - worst catfish I've had in I don't know when. Wife's "chicken breast" was 2 very thin slices of a chicken breast - not a whole chicken breast, served on top of a little tasteless rice for $20! Server did as well as he could, looked like he may have been the only one, but the food was not good, and certainly not worth those prices. I remember a Catfish and company being on White Settlement Road going towards River Oaks 40 or so years ago - it was good. This was a huge disappointment, especially when you have the family with you for Father's Day. read more

We were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat. Waitress came quickly and took our drink order and brought us some hush puppies. I couldn't help but notice how clean the restaurant was. The starter coconut shrimp was excellent, the size of the shrimp was impressive. Not in the mood for fish I did chicken strips and hubby did the medium size catfish and couldn't finish it as it was so much food nothing was greasy and my chicken didn't taste like fish. Both did green beans he did a side okra for him and I did cole slaw. We had an appetizer two meals two beers all for under $40.00. Good service and food. read more

Best food, best service, friendly atmosphere. A weekly sate for sure. Food is freshly made and hush puppies to die for.

Tried the large order catfish fillet. It was not catfish at all. Whatever kind of fish it was, it was dry and overcooked. This restaurant should tell customers they're not serving actual catfish. The name on the sign said Catfish & Company. Why are you serving a different kind of fish? Puzzling! read more

We could not get anyone to take our order. Never got the soft drink we ordered. 20 minutes and was told to please wait for the second time. Once the waiter refilled someone's tea nearby, over taking our order we figured out it wasn't going to happen and left. I guess I remember why we stopped coming here 10 years ago. read more

Our families are long time patrons of this restaurant but were disappointed as this Sunday we asked for a specific server and was told he only had booths available and as both of my parents are handicapped and one is in a wheelchair; sitting in a booth was not an option. We were refused accommodation to have our usual and favorite server wait on us sitting at a table 3 ft from the section he was working. It would seem that keeping your customers satisfied should be more important than keeping score for your wait staff. read more

this place had an inviting atmosphere and nice bar for sports fans. Our server could not have been sweeter, she really was very nice. But, I was really underwhelmed by the food. The hush puppies were barely warm when we received them and were very unimpressive, my catfish seemed like something mass frozen and then thrown in a deep fryer too. The filets were thin and dry. My husband got catfish with grilled shrimp....and the shrimp were tiny and there were only 4 of them! There should have been twice as many. Honestly, I don't see us returning, not for the price of our food. I really don't get the rave reviews. read more

This was one of the worsts presentations and flavor i've ever had. The experience wasn't great either overall as well. I attached a picture of the crab legs and I was very underwhelmed when they came to the table but I was hoping that they would taste better.... unfortunately they didn't. The food was so salty! Not flavorful....SALTY! There is a big difference! The waitress was fed up with us and you could tell by her face, now we did have a large party so I somewhat understood, but we weren't being hard to deal with. We were a party over 8 so she was getting her tip no matter what so maybe that is why she didn't try. To finish it out, the price was outrageous for the little amount of food that we received and the quality for sure was not up to the cost. I won't be going back here ever. read more

Two of us went to lunch and we ordered the same lunch special. Catfish & Butterfly shrimp. Though half of the catfish filet was ok, because the other half was thinner it was way over fried. Also both butterfly shrimp were also dark in color and over cooked Sides we had were French fries, fries okra, and corn. They were great as was the corn bread hush puppies served as a hot appetizer Our server was wonderful Eating area was clean but did not use the restroom so no clue there Manager looked our way but was to busy standing around to walk over and say hello or ask how lunch was tasting We will pass on returning here for a long time read more
