Great apple fritters. Fish is not all that good. I would try the grilled chicken.

We were headed to AZ and had to stop for gas along I-40 and were reading all the food billboards for anything but fast food stops. As we gassed up there was the Catfish round up down the road and although it didn't look like much outside, we decided to give it a try. Our waitress, Carole, mentioned she worked there since 1983 and not very bubbly but consistent and 33 years of serving folks, I would be the same. I headed to the restroom, trying to peek at the dishes along the way and decided to try one of the specials of the day, "Chicken fried steak with 2 sides and a hugh buttery fresh baked yeast roll. We both ordered the CFS and side salad and mashed potatoes. Now, shuffling through the dining room that day was Mackenzie, spirited, smiling and carrying a cloth lined basket with fresh baked blueberry apple fritters powered with sugar and yummy hot. The secret to asking for extras at a restaurant is calling people by their name and not 'excuse me', 'heh you' or 'maam' . . . I was a waitress and hearing your name always gets a quick and positive response. The $7.99 entree was well cooked, tasty and ample portion for the price. We certainly never expected such a delightful dinner from the name or the looks. Just remember, everyone has different expectations of a place and this place deserves a stop in. If you don't like it, the loss is $8 not $18 and move on down the highway. Folks in Seminole should be proud to have this establishment in their vicinity. read more

Ordered cfs was the worse i have ever had wife had catfish it was good the service is to be desired it used to be really good but has went down hill severely in the last year tea is good read more

I am not a catfish person, but the other food is great. My family's fave part is the apple fritter appetizers that you are served before your meal. The service is good. Even When it's late. (we came in 30 mins before close.) I definitely recommend this place. The average cost is $10.00 per person. read more

Our meal was really good. I had the hamburger steak, my husband had a burger & fries. He hates fish, & was pleased to learn that the restaurant didn't smell fishy. The staff brings apple fritters before the meal, then fabulous dinner rolls with the meal. read more

Cat fish is good service is friendly & good they get a little busy on the weekend and the service gets a little slow ,but the food is good and hot all the some... read more

Wow! Traveling to California from Kentucky. Time for lunch, thought we would try this little restaurant out. It was wonderful. Fast, clean, and delicious food. Had the catfish, it was great. Now, to mention the non stop freshly baked apple fritters and homemade rolls! Oh my goodness! Wonderful. Well worth the try! read more

Service is great - fish and fries were served hot! This is our second time to eat here! We were staying in the RV park across the interstate! read more

Food is delicious but the bathrooms are terrible. Refused to let my children use them.

I've eaten here so many times, personally and had several lunch meetings here, and I've never been disappointed. The service is always great, very friendly waitresses and manager. The food is so good, I especially love their fritters, chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy and dinner rolls that come out hot right after you are served your meal. I will continue to go back. It's definitely not a healthy choice but if you're in the mood for homemade comfort style food, try this place out! read more

RV PARK- Best Value and with 3 local gas stations and thier restaurant you cant go wrong for short or long stays. The wifi is a bit spotty but the clean bathrooms and with every site being pull through it makes up for it in my opinion. read more

If you're ever just driving by little Oklahoma or looking for something to eat off the high way I would highly recommend this place, you can't beat the food for the price definitely on my list for places to visit in Oklahoma. read more

When it"s good, it's very GOOD! & when its not.... Well, idk, kind of hit and miss this place is! Very friendly Staff though!

This was not at all what I hoped for. It took forever for a waitress to take our drink order & we waited a long time to get our food as well. The catfish was supposed to be farm raised, which is typically a clean tasting catfish. This was the muddiest catfish I have ever eaten & I have eaten lots of catfish from rivers, lakes, ponds & farm raised. It was breaded in flour, I am a cornmeal girl on my fish. Their grease needs to be changed. My fries were cold! Not even a little warm. The coleslaw was extremely tasteless & it looked like it was made with shreds of lettuce & some cabbage. The hush puppies had no flavor & mine was burnt. The tea....instant!!! Can you believe any self respecting southern restaurant would serve instant tea?! The only positive thing I could say...they bring you apple fritters as an appetizer & a dinner roll after you get your food. I will not be back, this was a waste of money. read more

We,ve been eating here for 30 years and it's been wonderful until today. Fisk was dry, over cooked with a very gamy taste. The taco salad only filled the bottom portion of the taco bowl. The fritters were doughy and the clover leaf rolls did rise much and were that good. The place is even getting dirty. New owners? New management? New cooks? You need to get a handle on your problems and turn it around, please. read more

Took our rv there to camp for a couple of days and ordered take out to bring back to the rv of cheeseburgers, onion rings,, and garden saled. Everything was delish! read more

Not much to look at, but this place was good. Very good service. Super yummy apple fritters and rolls--both served warm. Catfish was good, not great, but the warm baked goods more than made up for it. Ribs were good--very tender. Broccoli slaw was a bit over sauced, but had really nice flavor. read more

The food is ok. But everytime my husband and I go in they skip us when passing out the fritters and rolls. We have to stop them to get any fritters or rolls. On Sundays they do have a roast beef special that is good. It comes with dessert but you will be waiting about 30 minutes or longer to be seated. read more

amazing rolls and fritters. food came out hot! really good catfish. Service and as good and very attentive waitresses.

Very poor service. Th Apple fitters were bland and doughy. The staff clearly didn't care for their customers. We had to ask for dinner rolls 4 times before they delivered us cold and old tasting rolls. Waste of money. read more

Catfish Roundup has a good reputation. I was not in a lunch rush and gave this iconic restaurant a try. It is a homey place with a 1980's vibe. When seated I was given 2 hot fritters that were wonderful. I had the 4 piece catfish meal. I really enjoyed the catfish. Nice breading, not too thick, but very crunchy and well seasoned. I also liked the mayonnaise based Cole slaw. But, the fries were prepackaged and frozen. They were served limp. The hush puppies had no flavor. Some reviews criticized cleanliness. I thought it was clean, all tables were wiped with disinfectant. The floors were clean. The bathrooms were clean, but dated. read more

My husband and I are major foodies, so we were excited to try Catfish Roundup after hearing how great the food was from many friends and clients. We were so excited to see that the service of meals included fresh baked apple fritters and rolls. My husband and I received a few of these excellent dinner rolls (Enough to go back just for them) Unfortunately the girl serving the apple fritters made eye contact with me several times, but ignored us 5 different rounds of service, stopping at every other table but ours offering these awesome powder sugar covered balls. Our server apparently knew the folks sitting next to us, and we were sat in the corner. I guess at this establishment, if you don't know a waitress personally and are not sitting in the middle of the room in a large party, you don't matter. Waited 10 mins to get a beverage order in because she was busy socializing. The Catfish was excellent. The fries were crispy, and the coleslaw was noteworthy. The food was so delish, but the service, or lack there of, left something to be desired. I may need to return for more buttery fresh baked rolls, and MAYBE we will get some of those awesome looking fritters....what a tease!!! read more

We have been going there for years, think they are under new manager, about freeze to death every time we go, have told him he does not care, food gets cold before you can eat it. Will not go any more, Shame because have to drive clear to shawnee to go out and eat. read more

Have been going faithfully for 17 years - driving 1 hour each way. Went this weekend and had the worst service I have ever had. Management did not care and defended the waitress. We had to hunt her down for everything we wanted, we didn't get all our order, we were charged for things we didn't get. Waitress was rolling her eyes and argumentative. Management was non-responsive with a no-care attitude. Will be a long time - if ever - before we return. Think they are under new management? read more

well i dont know what was wrong with everyone else's tastebuds on the day they wrote their reviews, but i guess everyone is entitled to their opinions....i think the place is great, i have been there to eat twice, and the service is great, the food was great, and that catfish in the tank is awesome. And it is some of the best catfish in the state of oklahoma. read more

The free little Fritters are cute idea and tasty. The dinner rolls are good but I'd love them to be a sweet yeast roll instead. My hush puppies were awful. Tasted like a fried chunk of flour. They did not have that wonderful sweet cornbread flavor that says hush puppies. I didn't care for the shrimp because they coat it with crackers or something similar and it takes away from the taste of the shrimp. They do have kind service but not that good. It would be helpful if they would serve their food on warm not cold plates. read more

Went to catfish roundup with the Sunday lunch crowd,wait was not to long. I ordered the One of the Sunday lunch specials, fried chicken. Food came out quickly, but my food had been cool hours before hand. Not hot or fresh and quite dry. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

I have eaten there 3 or 4 times over the years when travelling in the area. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff, good service. The catfish I found to be a bit bland. All else was great each time. Ribs were better than I expected and chicken fried steak was excellent. Will definitely return when in the area. read more

I drove from Tulsa for the famous catfish and of course the apple fritters. When we got there we learned that some time between fathers day and now, the ONLY way you can get catfish is with cajon spice battering. NO THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This is not Louisiana I can not and will not eat hot spicey food. If there was an option for Southern fried (which made this place) that would be fine,but this is not the case. We both had chiken fried steak and it was great as was the service. The problem is I can get a great chicken fry any where,no need to drive back and I will not. read more

We LOVE catfish. But not from this place. IT always has that nasty gray crap in it and it tastes yucky. I have fried catfish all my life. The key to good catfish is to take out all of the dark red and all of the gray crap and have nothing but pure white pieces of meat. The catfish at this place is nasty. They need to get a better quality of catfish. If it was the pure white meat it might be good. Their apple fritters are good and so are their rolls. Other than that I can make much better fried catfish at home. Cut all that red meat out and all the gray skin off. The red is the greasy part of the catfish and it is what gives it that funky taste that make people not like catfish. IF catfish is cleaned and cooked correctly many people who claim to hate it would love it. The place also needs a bit of updating inside. IT looks kind of dirty the old carpet does.. The convenience store here in town has better fried catfish than this place does. read more

I'll start with the PROS: our waitress was very sweet and attentive. CONS: we ordered 2 catfish dinners. Catfish-was cold and the pieces were very small. Coleslaw-was flavorless and was just in like a mayonnaise soup. Not appetizing to look at. French fries- were cold and soggy (Chris ordered these) Mashed potatoes- were cold and had a strange flavor. They put white gravy over them and I didn't ask for gravy. (I ordered these) Dinner rolls- said made fresh daily...they were hard as rocks. Sweet Tea- it was overly sweet with not much of a tea flavor. The inside of the restaurant looks like it was recently updated and looks nice. But once you're seated you can see where it hasn't been cleaned very good. Another waitress was spraying cleaner in the booth behind us after a couple left and it was blowing over on us and had a really strong smell. The kind that makes you lose your appetite. You can see back into the kitchen and its filthy. After seeing back into the kitchen I told my boyfriend that I felt as though I should put my finger down my throat and leave the food there. We work on the pipeline and we travel all over for work and try out all kinds of restaurants around the country and this would go in our top 5 worse places we've eaten. read more

This place was awful! The service was terrible, we had to beg for everything. While the catfish was good it was a bit bland and all you can eat catfish means 1 serving because you can't get anyone to ever bring more. The apple fritters and rolls were good but don't plan on having more than one because that's all you get, the girl passing them out was horribly rude and even hostile, she should not be in the service industry. You need to order at least 2 drinks to start with because it's impossible to get a refill. The fried okra was undercooked to the point of being slimy and that was if they remember to bring it, my sister ordered it but they brought her coleslaw instead and then would not correct the error. The fried pies kept us waiting an additional 30 minutes so had to take them to go because it was so late. They were not good! I believe it was canned pie filling wrapped in a crust that was not light or flaky and very greasy. That was wasted money no one ate more than one bite before throwing them away. read more

We went there on a thursday night and there were only a couple of people there. Service started out great, they brought us the fritters and rolls and then it went downhill after that. The online menu says the all you can eat fish is 10.99, when we get there it was actually 12.99. I went ahead and ordered the All you can eat catfish,the wife ordered just the catfish dinner for 10.00. The Waitress brought our food out and then didn't come back for quite sometime, long enough for the rest of the family to complete their dinner, and me sitting there waiting on more fish. She then brings a plate with a huge pile of fish and refills for the drinks. The catfish itself was just several slivers of breaded fish. It was not good fish at all considering its the primary item at that restaurant. The coleslaw was very watery and not very good. I was not impressed at all for a 50.00 bill at the end of the evening for 2 adults and 2 children. read more

I have frequently eaten at Catfish Roundup in the past 22 years traveling between Oklahoma City and Lake Eufaula. It has always been good - until today (October 14, 2017). My family joined me and we were all appalled at what was served. The food overall (other than the fritters and rolls) was not hot and the fish appeared to be held over from many hours ago and then warmed up. I could handle all that but the catfish was atrocious! It probably is more the fault of the supplier than the restaurant, but quality control needs to be in place. Good catfish has a smooth taste, but this was more like red snapper or trout - it was that fishy. When we spoke to the manager about it, she said, "Well, it is fish!" True, but real catfish, properly cleaned and prepared, does not have a fishy taste. We were not in pursuit of a free meal. We gladly paid the full price, but it will be a long time before I return there. read more
