I have been wanting to try this place for a while since I love a good cornmeal batter. The fish was flaky and fresh and the fry was just what I was looking for. The I think the batter could use more salt but I really liked their tartar sauce. The shrimp wasn't my favorite so I'd personally skip on those next time. The gumbo was decent but pretty pricey for a small bowl. The service was super nice and the food came out in a decent time. They had a lot of tables and plenty of space. It was relaxed and casual environment for lunch or dinner. read more

They should call this the catfish hole... This is probably been my place to go to for catfish for the past 15 years. The catfish here is really good and still is very good But the reason I'd call this a hole is mainly because it smells so terrible in here The place is very dingy. The staff is unprofessional. I have a feeling of Gordon Ramsay came in. He would just shut the place down. I would recommend if you choose to eat at this place just get it to go Also, I will mention if you're watching something on TV don't get too comfortable watching whatever you want because the staff will change it to whatever they want I'm only giving this place at two because the catfish is still very good read more

Delicious doesn't even scratch the surface. I've been looking for a seafood homie and "hole in the wall" restaurant experience in Carrollton, I'm glad I stumbled upon it. Service was great, attentive, and very knowledgeable. Staff helped guide us through the menu. Food was out in under 10 min, and brought to our table. I love seafood and if you're looking for a lunch meal or something on the go, that's quick, tasty and cheap, then this is the place! They have seating inside, but it's also delicious to take home! read more

The staff is pleasant! The restaurant doesn't have the best decor it's kind of out dated. I enjoy the food once I dress it up. I order the 2 piece fish, and I make sure to get a side of season because there isn't any initially. It's definitely good for something quick. read more

Pleasant staff, very attentive. Good came out quickly and the place was busy, they got everyone in and out quickly. The food wasn't exactly seasoned to my liking, had to doctor it up a bit, but it was a nice place with a good staff so I would return. read more

Hubby & I LOVE this place. When we head to the Chinese Supermarket in Carrollton, we always plan our shopping trip around stopping in here for some cajun inspired seafood delights. First of all they have beer on ice & that's always nice! haha. We love that this is a "Quick serve/Self serve" Cajun seafood place that has amazing food & is a great value. It's a very casual hole in the wall kinda place in a strip mall, just like you would find in a small town in French Louisiana somewhere. OuiOui. The seafood is always cooked perfectly & the coleslaw is amazing. We love the coleslaw & fries here. Love that they add purple onion to the po'boys. Not on authentic NOLA bread but very very good french bread. Will Return. Highly Recommend. read more

Exactly what you would expect when driving through rural Louisiana except it's right here in town! Lots of locals, even sales people bringing clients in when I visited. I over heard the salesman tell his clients that everything on the menu is amazing. Great service and great decor to match the vibe. Catfish was perfect, thin and crispy like I love it. Poorboy we dresses perfectly as well. My only knock on the place would be they don't use traditional Poorboy bread, kind of a disappointment. However overall it's a true southern experience! read more

If you were in Louisiana on a fishing trip and stopped at a small town catfish place, this would be it. Nothing fancy here but great food. Two guys who look like they would be just as comfortable renting you a boat, work hard to deliver really good food. The menu goes much further than you would expect. How about some fried tomatoes, fried pickles or frog legs. Salmon, tilapia and oysters are here too. There is a kids menu, Some TVs for sports are present but this is a fairly quiet room. No chicken or beef here except for buffalo wings. Enjoy. read more

Great find from Yelp. Saw the reviews and tried Catfish House for lunch. It's a big place, but was almost empty when we arrived. You order at the counter from an extensive menu. We went with the catfish fillet basket and fried green tomatoes. The fish was light, crispy and cooked perfectly. Fried green tomatoes were solid too. Fast, friendly service and reasonable prices. Nice place with excellent food. Highly recommend this place. read more

I drove over there, just for their Mexican Scrimp Cocktail and some catfish. Love this place, even if its a bit far for me to drive. The food is so good. I try to buy a few extra pieces of fish for later in the day or dinner. Going to try to find a Mexican Cocktail recipe to make some here at home. Trust me, worth the drive and money . Food and service are so very good. Try it live a little. Yummy Sorry no pictures, next time for sure. read more

This place has changed a lot over the years. We used to love eating here but - as others have mentioned - the hush puppies are awful now and the catfish is incredibly bland. Fries have never been great and they still aren't. Baked potato was overdone. 2 stars only because people that worked there were somewhat friendly and quickly corrected a mistake they made on our order. Sadly will have to look for catfish somewhere else. read more

I ordered take out Catfish fillets Calamari And Gumbo Eating are was nice. Very clean and quiet Staff that took my order was pleasant and good customer service When I got home the fish fillets were still hot. Expected to have to reheat them but it was not needed I ate the calamari on the drive home as the food smelled so good. They were hot, not over breaded and not over cooked at all. Very tender The gumbo was good, but the rue was oily. Who ever made the rue was in to big a hurry. The reason they still get Five Stars is because the gumbo had lots of shrimp and other ingredients. They were not stinging with what they put I to the gumbo I was impressed with this small hole in the wall operation and will return read more

fresh catfish. very happy with grilled shrimp very quick delivery gumbo was good would order again read more

We just got appetizers and were disappointed that they were all just packaged frozen items that they deep fried. I don't know why I expected them to be fresh or hand breaded. The crawfish tails were okay. The fried clams were bad...just tasted like breading. The fried pickles were disappointing. The sweet corn nuggets were good (according to my wife). The restaurant space is cute and inviting. Like others have noted, it's quiet so you can have a nice conversation over dinner. read more

Knew it was the right place upon entering was greeted by staff. Catfish and green tomatoes were satisfying. Would come back again.

I already posted but I'll do it again. I had the 2 catfish filets with 4 butterfly shrimp and 3 hushpuppies (extra). Everything on my plate was cooked to perfection 'para chupar Los dedos. Finger licking good! Hubby enjoyed his catfish po'boy and nongreasy fries. We give them 5 stars and the staff as well. read more

The catfish and shrimp were cooked perfectly and the taste was delicious. We definitely recommend them.

I usually don't write reviews if there is bad services it maybe a person having a bad day. I have been coming to the Carrollton location since they opened. My Mom and TT from Louisiana both loved this place when they would come visited both has since went home to be with the Lord. I'm not sure if the older Hispanic gentleman/son who I watched grow up working at the counter have always been respectable have always been awesome. The level of disrespect the cook who said he was son but doesn't or resemble son at all !Well today was totally disrespectful. I placed an order for pick up like always. I placed my order I ask him the price he going to say I don't know the price I'm busy and hung up. I politely got in my car drove 10 minutes and ask for the manager which wasn't there which is fine. I decided not to get the food that was made. Told him of his behavior and left. If you don't like your job find something else to do. What is sooo crazy when I got there it was only 5 people there. Crazy read more

Quarantine sucks and DoorDash is a must. I was wanting some fried fish, and The Catfish House was right in my area. The batter on the fish was perfect crisp and not to much. The flavors of fish was a fresh and had a creaole seasoning flavor. The fish was light and not fishy tasting. The meal came with hush puppies, and I ordered coleslaw which was good and not over dressed. This place was a good option for eating some good catfish. I like eating fish, and this will not be my last time eating at The Catfish House. read more

When looking for a quick and simple place to satisfy your fried food cravings, Catfish House hits the spot! Their soft shell crab platter comes with two delicious, perfectly crispy servings of crab. The crabs were prepared well, tasted clean, and fried to the point where the thin layer of shell was never even noticed. Whether dunking it in tartar sauce, ketchup, cocktail sauce, or even straight out of the frier, you can't go wrong with these soft shell crabs! Also, those hush puppy sticks they served definitely pack some heat. No bland and boring hush puppies here! It's not always easy finding a place that consistently serves good soft shell crab, so I'm glad Catfish House continues to keep these cravings in check! read more

Let me just preface this by saying I am a snob about my catfish, with that said this place definitely deserves four stars! They serve real domestic catfish not Swai fish, the portion sizes are generous the fillets are literally the size of a whole catfish. One of the most important things to me is the cleanliness of the fish. I absolutely did not taste any fishy smell and they cleaned out the intestine line which is my number one pet peeve if if left in it. The baked potato was like butter literally melted with just a very light touch of my fork the skin and the inside of the potato was so moist it was almost like a mashed potato. The hush puppies and corn are also very delicious, the whole entire meal I was more than pleased with and will be happy to return again! read more

My niece is a super fan of the crawfish, their peel and eat shrimp is great; plus blackened fish tacos and grilled shrimp dinners are on the top of my list. It gets super busy because it's so good, but it's worth the wait! read more

I was in the neighborhood and saw this cafe. In a strip center and very unassuming. But this place rocks. Inexpensive with unusual fares. Frog leg baskets, fried green tomatoes, and awesome catfish. I can't wait to go back. Catfish filets were hot, crisp, and flavor filled. Beer is 3.50. read more
