Haven't been there in a while but I've been there many times. The old school atmosphere and service are great. The food has never disappointed and the prices aren't bad. I will most likely be eating there this weekend and I am looking forward to it. read more

Great food, service, looking forward to our next visit. Remember to take the 200 exit on Hwy 40 in Oklahoma. Give them a try you will love it. read more

My favorite part of Catfish Round Up is the all you care to eat Apple Fritters. They are so tasty. Love them with melted butter. The food is good. If you go stick with their specialty, catfish. They do catfish very well (more than just a clever name) my other meals there have been just okay, but the catfish was really good. read more

We have been eating here for years and always stop when we are in the area. Ths would be an easy 4 or 5 star if there were better sides options. The all you can eat catfish is really well prepared. It is light and has very little oil for being fried. The apple fritters before the meal are wonderful, hot, and fresh. The rolls that come delivered during the meal are hot and dripping in melted butter! Service is always fast and friendly and the only time we have had to wait was a Friday or Saturday night. Give it a shot and fill up on fish! Sides: I dont like the fries and my wife is not a fan of the slaw which is usually her fave at other spots. read more

Just recently moved to area and was ordering take out atleast 4 times a month. I live about 10 miles away and order was messed up and I called to make them aware they forgot a kids meal I was assured it would be taken care of on next visit but unfortunately I was denied. I guess they didn't appreciate me enough to make right less than a $5 meal....thanks for making my decision to spend my money elsewhere easier! read more

I and my family have always loved eating here, unfortunately saturday night was the worst. My husband and my daughter complained about the total lack of service. No refills on drinks, two unlimited catfish dinners were purchased, with no refills on those. No rolls or fritter' s were given. They seated us by the kitchen doors which was totally fine, but when your able to see your server sitting on her butt in the back, flirting and talking, that is not good. Another table in the same section, got up and left, due to lack of service. Our family got a first row seat to listening to the servers make fun of the family when they left. Me and my family was kinda shocked and saddened by the lack of care and respect. Sorry for such a bad review, but.... Customer service is very important in the food industry. read more

We were driving through & decided to stop here for catfish as they had fairly decent reviews. They had an attentive wait staff & that was about it. The food was awful. It came out hot, but all of it-- French fries, fish, hush puppies - all had a taste of old grease & a lemon scent. The catfish had no flavor. We were disappointed. read more

Husband wanted catfish. I reminded him the last time we stopped here it wasn't very good. Unfortunately it's just slightly better than before. Probably not enough to make me stop again for a while. Now I have to say we stopped in around 4:20 but you are supposed to get fritters and we did at the end after we asked for them and we're told oh you were here late. Huh?! When the girl brought them we asked for more than 2 each but she only had 4 in her basket and they were cold. She did bring more later that were fresh and hot. We both got the catfish dinner, husband got mashed potatoes, I got the fries that tasted like they were cooked at lunch. While the flavor of the fish was good it was cold. I substituted a salad for the coleslaw and it was good. The waitstaff were all pretty young and hanging in the back chatting mostly could use some supervision. That's probably the whole issue. I hate it because it looks like they have done some renovation outside and it's a handy place for us to stop when we travel. The only reason it didn't get 2 stars is the girls were friendly and we finally got some hot fritters! read more

I had not been here for 12 years. Very disappointed the fish was not as good as the last to time I was here. It was a regular place I ate at years ago. The target sauce was the worst it was served in a little 2 oz cup and it was warm. The restroom was disgusting did not even use it because it was so dirty and smelly. THe only thing positive is our waitress was really nice. I will not be back. read more

This place rocks. Comfort food that is made right. Does not break the bank either. My favorites are the chicken fried anything and the salads read more

We've stopped at Catfish Roundup 4 times in the past when we have traveled on I-40. Today we stopped and the catfish was horrible..it was fatty and tasted like mud. We couldn't eat it and told the cashier and she said our catfish can be muddy tasting sometimes. We had to pay for it anyway....will never stop there again! We enjoyed a great meal on down the road. read more

I've driven past this place for 30+ years & never stopped. Went in for lunch & ordered catfish. Apple fritter was the very best i've ever had, dinner roll was awesome, catfish was excellent. Service was great, Building was 7 of 10. Will return soon! read more

The ribs looked 2 weeks old my dad didn't eat them my mom ordered the catfish it was raw and I got the chicken sandwich and it was just ok. The fritters were good and the staff was really nice. Just poor food quality. read more

This is the kind of place where the serving staff treats you like a regular even on your first visit. We were seated and served quickly. While waiting for our order someone brought us hot apple fritter balls to snack on. The food was great, especially the catfish. My husband liked the burgers well enough that he ordered another one to go before we left to heat up later. There is a gift shop in the lobby area, but it seems like wasted space since in seems to have only a few garage sale type items. read more

With all due respect to anybody else who has reviewed, this joint is one of the best eats in all of Oklahoma, and it was an above-average experience to boot. This was the third time I had eaten at Catfish Round-up, which is just off Exit 200 along I-40 north of Seminole. My first two experiences were to-go orders, and this was a dine-in. Each time, I've had the catfish dinner. I figured that's what they do, right? I'm not even a 'catfish' person, but their is fresh, flaky but juicy, and the fact that each of their sides gives ample competition to the main course is a plus. The mashed potatoes and white gravy were moist and marvelous, and the cole slaw was above average. Rolls were hot and soft, and the apple fritters are ridiculous. My only off mark about the food was the sweet tea. They could use some help from a good ol' fashioned Texas barbecue joint on the sweet tea, but I would have also been happy with a Coke. The service was above average, not perfect. But they were also packed. For being packed, it was a-ok. It's a neat place, complete with a little gift shop and if I'm not mistaken, at least at one time, they had an aquarium there. Kind of funny, I suppose. Alas, if you're looking for a stop along I-40, I can't recommend Catfish Round-Up highly enough. For two people, we got out of there at $23 plus tip. You're not going to top this place in that area and probably not even the state. read more

We recently went back and it definitely was not as good of a dining experience! Everyone's food was just meh and the place is not clean. The bathroom had the worst smell ever. My husband said the men's bathroom was very dirty. The whole experience left us with almost a nauseous feeling. I'd much rather give 5 star reviews but was very disappointed in our last visit. read more

The staff is friendly but the food is very low quality, mostly fried. Also don't be surprised if you puke afterwards read more

Catfish Round Up - I'd consider this a little below the belt - Fish & Chips Near Me - Seminole, Oklahoma

So a buddy and I were traveling cross country and stopped off at this joint. Best catfish we'd ever had! We both wished we had gotten the all you can eat dinner. Don't miss out if your traveling through. Can't speak to other items on the menu as we were there for the catfish, but everything we had was superb. read more

Loved the friendly staff. The catfish platter was good, fries delicious and apple fritters were tasty. We took some to go. I didn't care for cole slaw because I am used to the chain places. I felt bad for the staff because the fish tank overflowed...a lot. read more

This place was dirty. We waited 15 minutes to get water. The steak wasnt good, very low Grade. Overrated. read more

Catfish round up, more like catfish yuck . If not for the older group who have eat here from the beginning and can not have flavor in food and the few unsuspecting travelers this place would be out of business. Their " butterfly shrimp " is smashed paper then that all you taste is what I can only compare to the smell of a swamp . You are never afford anything to replace your horrible meal or an apology. Just a shrug . The burger wow I don't even know how it gets so thin but wow and dry extremely dry but why wouldn't it be as thin as it is . The kids that work there are very rude and have absolutely no costumer service experience and truly act like it is your fault you got lousy service and food that you can't eat . When walking to the restroom the kitchen smells like throw up and sour rages. The restaurant is old and looks very dirty read more

I'm sorry but I can't understand how you fry catfish and French fries "COLD" Friendly wait staff but I will pass on a return trip! read more

We are long-time customers from Shawnee, but the food on our visit on 1-9-21 was awful. The coleslaw tasted like it was going bad, the mashed potatoes and gravy were inedible, and the fritters weren't warm in the least. And they charged $1.99 for a loaded baked potato, which only adds cheese & bacon. Luckily, the catfish was good, if one doesn't mind eating only catfish. Would have mentioned this complaint to someone, but all workers were young. This restaurant seems to want to rest on its laurels--a good way to go out of business. read more

Driving through Oklahoma to my destination, this place was a good rest stop. Somebody in the kitchen loves to do what they do because the meals were amazing! read more

Seven years ago, my husband & I stopped here for dinner on a cross country trip from Atlanta to California. We had such an incredible meal then, that we always commented that if we ever found ourselves back on I-40 in OK, that we should eat there again. Well the opportunity presented itself today, so we stopped in for dinner. The service was exceptional. As soon as we were seated, 2 piping hot blueberry fritters were brought to us! OMG, they were to die for!! Then, we both had the catfish dinner. Everything was fresh & served very hot. The dinner rolls were also as good as we remembered. I don't know when we will pass through this area again, but if we do. we will most definitely be back! read more

Catfish Round Up - Cool aquarium w/ albino catfish! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Seminole, Oklahoma

The good: service was fine but then this was Monday lunchtime; fritters were good; hot rolls weren't bad; mashed potatoes were good. The bad: place was filthy and unappetizing because of it; the catfish was a huge disappointment considering one assumes this is their specialty. Was not hot, not crispy, and tasted as if they had been pre-fried and sitting out for awhile. I kept thinking about how I wished I was eating the Cracker Barrel catfish instead! My husband ordered the BBQ brisket sandwich. He left half of it on his plate. Again, he felt the brisket had been sitting around in a pot for a couple of days. Presentation was non-existent. Just save yourself the trip...honestly. I don't understand the 4 and 5 star reviews at all! Unless these folks are from the area and there is literally no other choice around for miles. read more

Catfish round up was absolutely an awful experience. The steak my husband got was nearly inedible and burnt. It was BLACK. My catfish dinner was cold and so salty i couldn't even eat it. I mentioned the issue with my husbands steak to our waitress and all she did was go to the back/yell at the cooks for the entire resturaunt to hear. We still paid for our inedible meal but we will not be back. read more

Our meal was really good. We got the fish and it was very tasty. The fritters and fresh hot yeast rolls were a nice touch.

I have known this restaurant all of my life. I even worked here in high school. The service was friendly and fast. Free apple fritters came out fast and hot just absolutely delicious. Food was delivered in short amount of time. 2 of us had the catfish and 1 had chicken strips. One of the catfish dinners were all you can eat. They came back offering more when we gothic. Fish was cooked perfectly nice and soft flaky with a crisp batter. Chicken was a good chicken strip cooked well with a good flavor to the breeding. Hot rolls were delivered promptly with our meal and more apple fritters as we got to the end of our meal. Overall a great experience. read more

This is our first visit to this restaurant. WOW!!! Can't say enough about how good the food was. After reading some of the reviews we were a little weary of trying it. We don't put a lot of stock into some of posted reviews. But do try to get some feedback. I don't know where some of the previous reviewers are from and what their level of expertise comes from. The catfish meal was outstanding. Loved the breading. It has a great flavor and a little bite to it. Being from Texas a little spice only enhances the taste. The catfish was flaky and fresh and cooked to perfection. The French fries were crispy and tender on the inside. No soggy fries here!! The homemade yeast rolls were soft and buttery just like mama's. The cole slaw was delicious but needed to be colder. My hubby took home eight delicious apple fritters. The waitress gave him extras because he loved them so much. And I had to take an apricot fried pie to go. It was a nice size with lots of delicious filling. So do not be put off by other reviews on this page. This restaurant is a gem. And from their packed parking lot I'd say others like it as much as we did. Another plus was the wait staff. They were so friendly and made our experience here a great one. Can't wait to visit again!! read more

The food was good. No complaints. The service was good. No complaints. The almost 90% gratuity making my 12.77$ chicken fried steak sandwich and fried pie into a 25$ check. Big complaint. I don't mind places adding gratuity to large groups. But it usually isn't more than 20%, and you are usually told about it in advance. I was flat out robbed. And this was done to everyone in our group. It wasn't like they just added the entire tip to my check. They charged all 5 or 6 of us who were paying a tip around the same amount. I am totally disgusted with this and will never be returning. I can not recommend this place to anyone, but if you do go pay close attention to your check. Look closely at what they are charging you. read more

I just happened to be traveling to Seminole, Ok and stopped in to try it out. Everything was awesome. The ambiance, fast service, quality of food, speed of delivery. Had the catfish dinner first time and went back another day for the ribs. Loved the fresh rolls and apple fritters too! My company sends me to Seminole about 4 times a month and I am eating here every time. Yum! read more

We have gone to this restaurant many times, and have enjoyed the food. However, our meal today was not so good. My husband ordered the all you can eat catfish and the fish was strong and bad tasting. I tried a piece to see if it was just him (grin), and the fish tasted "muddy" to me, too. We alerted the waitress and she was very good about asking if he wanted his dinner replaced, but the fish tasted so bad that it spoiled his desire for anything else. The waitress said they had been getting a lot of complaints which makes me wonder why they continue to sell fish that is inedible? If you go there, order something other than the catfish! read more

Rode over on the Harley's. 3 couples. Seating was immediate. And the apple fritters were served up hot and fresh. We all ordered the catfish dinner. After all, that's what we came for, and weren't disappointed. The dinners rolls are tender and moist. Excellent food and service. We rode almost a hundred miles to get here. We recommend this place. read more

Faster service than expected for a Friday night. All the food was great except the grilled chicken breast. That was overcooked abs dry. Fritters and rolls were excellent read more

3 stars is as generous as the 17% tip i left. As with anywhere I guess, over time as the old breed moves on and the service dissipates. We had to chase down everyone for service and refills every time we needed something and they seemed to be put out when we needed something. The best part was the catfish of course.. The girls seemed to offer other tables, bread, more catfish and apple fritters. But ignored us. Sad to see how this place has gone downhill. The most friendly girl was the girl that took my money. She seemed genuinely nice. Our visit was Aug 2, 2017. About 6-7pm. read more

We had decent service but my chicken was served completely raw and cold. The place is dirty and seems very rushed. Nothing spectacular.

This used to be my favorite place for catfish, but not after yesterday's lunch. I got the catfish, which tasted old, my husband got the hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and brown gravy. The brown gravy was only on the mashed potatoes and I could see from across the table that it was very dry. The apple fritters were doughy and drowned in powdered sugar. However, the wait staff were all wonderful. Very polite and checked on us often. I was so disappointed! I've stopped there many times over the years and my parents loved eating there when they were going through town. read more

Stopped on our way to the Grand Canyon. Great staff and great food! Delicious Apple fritters free for everyone.

I drove for almost an hour to get to this place because I heard it was some of the best catfish in the state. I was lied to. The service was great and the apple fritters were good but the catfish and hush puppies we were served were horrible. There was almost no fish. It was breading with traces of fish and the hush puppies were stale. Also I ordered a salad and it was brown tinged lettuce on a plate. What made this review a 2 star instead of a 1 was the fish tank. They have this massive fish tank with albino catfish in the lobby and it was fun to watch the fish while we ate. Although it was kind of odd eating catfish and being watched by catfish at the same time. read more
