Went to eat there today, Sunday, around 11:45 am. Our waiting time was literally around 30 seconds. We had a group of 5 people. I had the ribeye, well done, with french fries. The ribeye was pretty good but a little too fatty for me. Loved the interior, it's like a real cabin. Wood on the wall, floors, ceiling. Animal heads throughout the place. The place is really clean and everyone there is nice. Our waitress was a young lady, but she was really good and nice. Had drinks out in a timely manner, and asked throughout our whole meal if every thing was OK. Would recommend this place to anyone that's a little hungry and wants a good southern place to eat in Jackson. read more

I've been going to Catfish Cabin since I was a little kid, and it's still a favorite of mine. Although I live in Indy, there are two things I always request when I come to see family....a home cooked meal and Catfish Cabin. You have to start your meal with hush puppies and slaw (I prefer the mayo based vs vinegar). The family always requests sliced onion as well. The catfish filets are delicious. Comes with a side (I typically go with a baked potato). Put a sweet tea with it and you have the perfect Southern meal. Don't get me wrong...you may feel miserable after, but it's a good kind of miserable! read more

What can you say bad about this place? The food is awesome if you are in the mood for catfish. The prices are great, the portions are plenty, and the service is amazing. Never have had a bad experience here. Service is always top shelf and food is piping hot and tastes fresh. The hush puppies are 2nd to none and all you can eat! They have the best sweet tea in the south. If you want to have catfish that you don't have to catch your self, then this place is a must! read more

One of our favorite eat out places. The food is almost always great. We like the broiled fish and shrimp dinners. If your looking for fried Catfish "ain't none better" than Catfish Cabin! Service is always great. We always try to sit at Dorothy's table. Usually there is no wait for a table unless it's a holiday or something. We eat here often. read more

Catfish Cabin - Rocking and swinging on the front porch of Catfish Cabin!!! - Southern Near Me - Jackson, Tennessee

We have been going in the Cabin since it opened. Mother's Day was our last visit. No more all you can eat fish, the fish was like strips, slaw was warm, the hush puppies were burnt. Mentioned all of this to the cashier and all he said was sorry. I have since found a place that has great fish (Hibachi) read more

Very, very bad food on 03/23/2019, the day we went to eat lunch at the Catfish Cabin!!! The only thing we liked was the Cole-Slaw!! Both my husband and I had the broiled 12pc. shrimp plate it was so over seasoned we couldn't eat it all. The shrimp still had the poop chute in them, not cleaned! We also had the soup that had yesterdays chicken in it! (Actually got sick from something we ate there all for $35. dollars.) We complained to the cashier and told him to tell the management of our poor quality of food experience... we did not express anything to the waitress because it wasn't her fault. The cashier didn't say a thing to us so we just paid and walked out never to return again!!! We didn't talk any photos... what's the point! :-/ read more

I have come here many times over the years when in town. My family and I always thought it was good. Today I brought some family to eat there for the 1st time and we were all dissapointed. It was not anything like I remembered. The best food on the menu was the slaw. All the fish, chicken, and fried green tomatoes we had was greasy. It seemed to be the oil as it was old and needed to be changed. Building and Inside needs updating, it is showing it's 37 year old age. I saw no managers present. I will be in no hurry to go back. read more

I had the chop steak with slaw and Baked potato. It was pretty good. My wife had the seafood sampler the catfish with it were very small Fillets. She said the shrimp was good but said the crab cake was under par. Server was very friendly and checked on us often read more

Driving through Jackson, the Catfish Cabin is hard to miss. Now that I took the time to stop here, I'm glad I did. At first glance it might appear to be a knock off Cracker Barrel, but it is so much better than that, plus there is no waiting-room store to empty your wallet. The portion sizes are generous and the catfish is delicious. They have numerous styles of prepared catfish from which to select. If you imagine the scene from Forrest Gump, where Bubba lists the varieties of shrimp dishes, just replace 'shrimp' with 'catfish' and you get the idea. Anyway, they also have a delicious lemon ice box pie dessert that's too good to miss. So if you love catfish, it's THE PLACE. read more

Great food eat some of bast fish I have had in a while hamburger steak was great been several times over the years it has been good every time read more

I love the food here. The catfish is light and cooked just right...not too heavy on the breading and not too oily. The hushpuppies are dangerous. They sit in the basket as you wait and before you know it they are gone and you have started on another basket. The slaw is mayo based, but not so heavy. They also do baked potato or fries or white beans as sides. You can get it to go, even calling in your order. They have huge rooms, but if you wait til prime time you might have a wait. The rockers and swing on the porch mean that's not such a bad thing. read more

I got the fried catfish...it was not the best but it was pretty good. Loved the fries. And was with family so of course I had a good time. It will definitely remind u of the Bates Motel inside...with the stuffed animals. But I love the rocking chairs outside on the porch...so adorable. Love the Southern feel of the restaurant. The service is average...nothing outstanding. read more

this is a cute local place sort of hidden away so while visiting we thought we'd give it a try. first off, the place is super cute- it looks like a country house with a big porch and rocking chairs.. sort of like a cracker barrel. we were seated promptly and our server immediately came out from the kitchen and served hush puppies and coleslaw. sort of random. both were just so-so... being the "catfish cabin" I would've thought you could get catfish any which way you wanted - but the menu didn't really have a lot of options. we ordered: blackened catfish appetizer, fried green tomatoes, and the seafood sampler entree. my coworker and I both thought the food was actually pretty bland and relied on sauce to give everything flavor. also, our server wasn't the nicest person - from a local southern establishment I would've expected a much warmer personality. lastly, they do not serve alcohol.... at all. the waitress looked at me like I was crazy for asking for a beer. so sadly, I have to give a bad review. I wouldn't go back... but the locals seem to love it because by 630 the place was packed and I'm still trying to figure out why. read more

The food here is actually very good I had a the blackened catfish with a baked potato. Catfish had a great flavor. By the way the hush puppies were yummy to. However, the waitress was terrible she was a little rude didn't remember what went where. All around nice place but not great service. read more

Great catfish. was in town looking at some property to purchase and came across this little gem. staff was friendly, food came out smoking hot, and cost was reasonable. In fact it was so good that we went back the next night and it was just as good on the 2nd night as it was on the 1st. I had the filets and my wife had the shrimp, hushpuppies were the best I've ever put in my mouth. If you like catfish give this place a try read more

Their motto "The Landmark of Good Food" rings very true with this restaurant. They start you off with the coleslaw (your choice of mayonnaise based or vinegar) and some hushpuppies. I ordered the ribeye with a side of a baked potato. The food was very good and I think that this restaurant is a place everyone who wants to really understand the area should visit. The food is incredible and from the other people in my party I hear that the catfish is incredible and a must have if you like catfish or it would be a great place to try catfish for the first time! I know that the last time I was here (about a year ago) I had tried the catfish and that it was very good and as I said from what I hear it is still just as good as it was. I gave them five stars for a combination of the feel, the price, the quality of the food and the service. I highly recommend this place if you're in the Jackson area. read more

See all

We have seen the signs every time we headed to Mississippi to visit family, but this time we had the chance to stop, and were glad we did. It was 6pm on a Friday, but we were still seated promptly. Our waitress came over right away, got our drink order, and brought the piping hot hush puppies and the mayo cole slaw we asked for. I got the seafood sampler, my husband a cabin platter, and we ordered fried green tomatoes for our appetizer. When the waitress brought the tomatoes, she was kind enough to recommend we wait for a fresh batch to come out of the fryer instead of eating the ones she brought out, which we did. The fresh ones were so delicious! It was really kind that she wanted to make sure we had the best experience possible. Our entrees were overall great, too. The breading on the catfish and shrimp was excellent, very crunchy and well seasoned. I didn't care as much for the stuffed crab, but admittedly I'm extremely picky about crab (being from a town on the Chesapeake Bay). We both really enjoyed the restaurant. We'll definitely stop at Catfish Cabin when we pass through Jackson again! read more

My family has been going to Catfish Cabin for years but our last visit was definitely our last! My mother ordered off from the senior citizens menu as usual. When she received her bill it was $17 for LUNCH! When she asked about it the waitress said she didn't "hear" her say senior citizen and if she wanted it for that price she would have to give her BACK 2 pieces of fish. Omg...REALLY?! Even if she did give her any food back what was the waitress going to do with it? Throw it away!! Reuse it on someone else's order!! We asked for more slaw and hush puppies and was quickly reminded by the "friendly" waitress that there was some left on the other end of the table. Food was soggy & cold. We asked for a to go cup of sweet tea and the waitress brought us a cup & a lid. No sweet tea in it. I guess I was supposed to pour the less than half of a glass tea I had been drinking on during the meal into the cup. Now they are saving money by not wasting sweet tea. Never been to a restaurant anywhere as tight as CC! We also were charged for food we didn't get and even had a coupon from the local newspaper that we were told by the cashier, aka rude owner/manager that we couldn't use because we were considered a "party." No we were not there for a party but we did sit together. There were 4 separate families and we each paid separately. Worst restaurant experience EVER!!! Don't waste your time and money there! read more

Catfish Cabin is huge - you can invite all your friends and relatives for great catfish and there will still be room left over. Plenty of seating. Plenty parking. Plenty good food. We had the blackened catfish filets. The blackening was not over spicy. The catfish was well covered in the seasoning. It was excellent and the portion was plenty. We also tried the fried green tomatoes. For those of you who eat fried green tomatoes, I'm sure you know that recipes vary by state and region. These were sliced thinly with a crispy batter. More batter than tomato. I prefer mine sliced thicker and fried a bit softer. The accompanying slaw and hush puppies were fabulous and come with every meal. Catfish Cabin is a family restaurant and serves no alcoholic beverages. read more

If I could only get food like this in Atlanta, GA. If you consider yourself a True Southerner, make sure you try the Catfish Cabin in Jackson, Tennessee. I consider myself a connoisseur of Southern Catfish and Seafood. The Catfish Cabin nails it. Whether fried or blackened, whole or filleted their Catfish is the Best in the South. But do not let the name, Catfish Cabin, fool you. The Catfish Cabin has plenty of other options that they prepare excellently. So if you want Steak and Lobster or Chicken Fingers and fries, you will get the best from the Catfish Cabin. P.S. Try the Vinegar Slaw, it is amazing. read more

My 6 year old has a peanut allergy. The staff was very helpful in accommodating her and answering any questions we had about food preparation. What the waitress did not know she went to the kitchen and asked. It made for a pleasant experience. And the food is excellent. I reccomend the broiled catfish. read more

Went there for the first time with my boyfriend and his dad. His dad was a fireman and my boyfriend is a marine. My boyfriend's dad is a regular there and is always gettng a fireman discount so my boyfriend asked if he could get a military discount and they told him they don't do military discount right after his dad got one!! Its amazing that i have a man who fought in Afghanistan just about a year ago and deserves so much and can't even get a discount but yet a local fireman could. I believe they sacrificed just as much. read more

My family went to Catfish Cabin last weekend. At 6:30 on Friday there was no wait. The place really looks like a Cabin with deer mounted on the wall. If you like slaw and hush puppies, you may like the place. They charge a $4.99 sitting fee if you don't order an entree. If you want a smaller portion, they won't let you order off the kids menu unless you are under 12. Also they have fireplaces that they won't light for 3 more weeks (they told us so). The plates are plastic (like the kind they used at buffets years ago) and portions aren't large. The service is ok, but not amazing. I rate it a 3/5. read more
