I ordered the catfish filet in which it was not done the fries tasted old and the catfish tasted gamey and it was soft and the batter had a powdery taste to it . And their so called bouncer with an African accent looked alil sweet but as well rude. I will never recommend this place . read more

Excellent prices and delicious food served hot! The service was great, everyone was very warm and welcoming.

Fish was seasoned wasn't bad tasting the kids meal wish is feat my mom and I had is $5.99 includes: 1 fillet, 1 hush puppy and fries. They have shrimp which is what we have (1each) cost $1.50. The shrimp was severely OVERCOOKED it was gummy and chewy and not seasoned at all. Lemonade was good. The restaurant is clean and everyone was nice. I'll go back but not for shrimp the food was hot and fresh read more

Ohkay! This was a pretty good catfish place! Not at good as Whisker's, but still tasty! I got a 2pc fillet and Whole Catfish. Season was decent. I fries! Customer service was great! It's worth another trip! Oh I liked their lemonade, too. read more

Went in and ordered To go on a Sunday evening ordered the 6 piece catfish fillets with fries and hush puppies. It was made to order however it was bland. No seasoning at all on anything. Fish was fishy. Drowned it in hot sauce and lemon and ended up just throwing it away from how fishy it was. read more

I had the 3 piece catfish dinner with fries and hush puppies! It was DELICIOUS!! I have driven. Y this place now got 2 years and wanted to stop but I always talked myself out of it! I regret that now lol! It's real catfish and not swai. They even have a sign that says that! I will be a regular customer! Food is made to order and it is piping hot and fresh. I waited about 10 minutes for my order and the guy at the counter was very nice. read more

This place sucks... food is bland, no flavor what so ever... takes for ever for you to get your order, and you expect something good.. food isnt worth it here, might as well go the distance to a better place for better quality... wont be coming back to this location or any other read more

With a thick corn bread style breading rather than basic batter fry and a killer lemonade, this place is rather good. I got the combo #10 so I got a basket of everything essentially (minus the side dishes like okra). The catfish is just cooked and still has the appropriate tight, meaty tone. The oysters are sweet rather than overly salty and not at all leaky, though I've had fresher. The fries are flat cut UK style chips instead of shoestrings or classic wedges, though they need a bit of seasoning. The shrimp are very hearty and butterflied just enough to make a very toothsome mouthful most people can't eat in a single bite. Everything needed lemon and salt and hotsauce, but the crunch was very satisfying. Portion sizes were good. Staff is unprofessional, not in a rude way, but in a very friendly, home style way, just walking in and out of the kitchen and around the register areas, working at a steady and relaxed pace. I'm unsure of when, but I get the feeling that they changed owners because other posts mention this is a black owned business, but I did not meet a single black employee. Furthermore, this place IS open on Sundays, and they even have a sign saying so up front, so that makes me think that there's definitely new management. I Did meet several older gentlemen though who say they go there all the time, and I can really see why the regulars like this place. Should you take a hot date here? No. Is this a good place to grab a solid bite to eat at a good price? Yes. read more

Crazy Catfish Restaurant - Decent portion sizes - Seafood Near Me - Garland, Texas

I been going here for over 10 years and in that time I have never ever had a bad experience. Food is always made as you order. There's a Mexican guy that wears his hat backwards that's been there for easily 20 years very hospitable. Their wings and catfish are off the chain what I dont like is they charge u for ranch separate on the wings and sometimes u forget to order it. The lemonade is super good , you won't regret coming ! read more

The fish and shrimp were made to order! Tasted so fresh not fishy at all. Good fresh quality food the only thing stopping me from five stars is that everything was super bland. read more

Nicely fried to a genital crispness. Real catfish. . these guys cook to order. Nothing is made before it's time. Want good fried catfish at a reasonable price. read more

Good, but not great as usual. Catfish very good, shrimp only good. Fries very good It has been better. I expect better bc it has been better. Maybe slipping a bit? Will try different place next time. read more

It's hard to find a good fish place anymore. But I have to say Crazy Cat takes the edge off when I'm craving fried fish and oysters. They do pretty good for a fast food/sit in restaurant. The food at this location has always been hot and fresh to order (Centerville Location) I really enjoy the oysters (request how you want them...fried soft, medium or hard). If I had to make a suggestion it would be to add the oysters on other combinations plates (it's too restrictive...I don't want to be required to get shrimp when I only want fish & oysters). There only one combo plate w/fish & oysters (but you only get 4 oysters). It would be nice to add a few more plate obtains, I.e., 6 or 8 oysters). They are small and expensive - so it would be nice to get the best bang for your buck! read more

Food was fresh and hot when delivered to the table. The catfish fillets was nicely flavored (better flavor than aww shucks). They have this lemonade flavored Kool-Aid that is great! The catfish nuggets were lackluster to say the least. Very crunchy and not much fish in between....... read more

Bland as sand. If you're allergic to salt or any other seasoning this is the place for you. Not even a speck of salt on my fries. My food was hot and ready though. But it felt like I was eating hot nothingness. read more

We made a last minute visit to this awesome restaurant while they were about to close and they still cooked us a very delicious meal! Peter and Martin were really really nice to us, not to mention the catfish was delicious and the fried shrimp was to die for! The french fries were also very good!!! We are so glad we found this place! We strongly recommend it! read more

Basic fried catfish and shrimp. The fried okra was fine. The coleslaw needs improvement. I've been here at least ten times and it's very consistent. read more

If you need a good catfish dinner .This is the place to go . The place is small but clean . Took my brother and sister in law for lunch . Brother and I got the 2 Catfish plus 4 shrimp dinner I added coleslaw to mine both came with fries and hush puppies which are made in the restaurant . Sister-in-law got the shrimp dinner that had 4 shrimp and she got coleslaw instead of fries . We all got iced tea. The dinners came with cocktail sauce and tartare sauce. Both brother and sister in law could not believe how big the shrimp was . The catfish was breaded nicely with cornmeal and seasoning .The shrimp has the same kind of breading. I had to get a go box as I could not eat it all . Will definitely be back. read more

I was a visitor in town and a friend recommended The Crazy Catfish. Went for lunch and the food was delicious. Ordered the fried catfish with shrimp. Loved it! The service was excellent. Will go back for sure next time I'm in town. read more

I really expected this to be good. I had heard that it was, but my experience just wasn't so. I felt like the fish was undercooked. If not, it was just very... Moist but not in a good way. The breading was coming off in big sheets off of the fish. Hush puppies were alright. Fries were good. Shrimp was Meh but I don't love butterflied shrimp anyway because I feel like it's more easily overcooked and dry...which it was. I don't think I'll be going back because I feel like we got minor diarrhea from it (sorry tmi, but hey sometimes you gotta know). Plus there's a much better Catfish place not much farther away and worth it. read more

I love Seafood so I have been to a few. However going to crazy catfish is by far my favorite. Its a small place but the food is mmm mmm mmm.. Also the Owner Peter is just one of the most humble employers I see to his employees. I took my mother to eat there one day. And he just comes and starts talking to her and even went and got her a slice a cake. Just because. I have seen him cleaning and just makes you feel really comfortable while enjoying his delicious food. I wish they would get a complete makeover so they would get the attention the place deserves. read more

The catfish was hard and dry and flavorless, The shrimp was the same. Save your self the time and money and eat seafood somewhere else. Four shrimp and two catfish fillets were almost fifteen bucks and were close to inedible. The fries and hush puppies were inedible. If you like flavor in your sea food, skip this place. read more

Where do I start? The fish is gross. Old tasting and fishy. The fries are soggy and hush puppies burned. Thank God I went next door to Henderson to get some wings. read more

Crazy Catfish Restaurant - Nasty - Seafood Near Me - Garland, Texas

Came here on a whim, just wanted a Fish basket with Hush Puppies. Portions are good for the price, fish is hot, crispy and tasty. Not greasy whatsoever. Very well made. Love the batter they use for the fish, it's seasoned nicely and put some hot sauce on top of that bad boy? LUNCH.WIN. I will be back because sometimes you just want a no frills type of spot to get a good hot fish basket. read more

I really do like the wings, they have alot of flavor. Only thing I wish, they were a bit more crisp. They taste like Burger Island hotwings, except, these are breaded. I will order again read more

Since I binge on donuts next door, sadly, on a weekly level, I decided to try out Crazy Catfish. Completely no frills dining area. So no frills that if you scare easily, this may not be the place for you. Pricing is affordable and you do get a fair serving of food. I ordered the 2 piece catfish plate with hushpuppies and fries. Unfortunately, the food was nothing much different than the frozen selection variety. The fries seemed to be coming from oil that needed changing. The hushpuppies were the size of a medium marble and lacking any distinguishing flavor. The fish was indeed piping hot but also dry and one of the fillets was 90% batter 10% meat. Dry fish = No. I always see people ordering when I visit next door for my aforementioned donut attack. So, maybe I'm in the minority. read more

Heard about this place from a co worker so I tried it out. The catfish was very tasty ad good portions. The hushpuppies were very good not dry like some places. Staff was very attentive. Will be coming back for sure. read more

WAT WAY WAY OVERPRICED... $10.00 for two pieces of fish, a few fries and a couple of hushpuppies. No slaw and no drink.... Taste was bland, fries were ehhhh but hushpuppies were good. A shame they went way up on their prices.. Better off going to the buffet for a couple of dollars more and get all the fish you want and unlimited sides. read more

I was craving a filet o' fish. Very random, very rare for me. I just couldn't bring myself to go to McDonald's though, so the yelper in me decided to try this place instead. Not a chain, looks like it stepped out of 1988 with dancing catfish painted on the walls and red plastic seats. I ordered a number 1, which is 2 pieces of catfish, fries, and hushpuppies. I sat and watched las noticias on univision while I waited for my food to be prepared. There is a big sign that says "please be paitent so your food is fresh". They say it's ready and I grab my bag and drive home quick so I can eat!! I open it up to see that they are really cheap when it comes to the tartar sauce (-1 star), the next bad thing is that my fries are warm--not hot and i don't even live far! WTH? I suck it up and eat a few, but it's not good. I end up having to put the whole thing in the oven. Big disappointment. I was so excited about my food and then I have to go and cook it myself when I am already starving! Everything had a good taste, just not hot like I would expect my food. The hushpuppies were tasty, just really small :( Anyway, I really want this place to be better. I love catfish. Maybe I will try again another time. read more

Love love love the catfish here. It's a hole in the wall place, but they have huge fillets and steak fries! A 2 piece is more than enough food for one person and again it's good catfish. I can't speak for the other food, but this is definitely worth a trip. Place for a romantic date? No. Got a cool chick, take her! read more

Great place to grab a bite to eat! Especially if you have a craving for catfish & hush puppies. We had the #24 two piece catfish and four shrimp, included hush puppies and fries with a drink. Food was fresh, fish and shrimp had good seasoning and the hush puppies had a good flavor with fresh onion. Perfectly cooked. The tea could be better. Service was okay. Open Sundays. Definitely a place to visit again! read more

Crazy Catfish Restaurant - #24 Catfish and Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Garland, Texas

I have eaten at both locations in Dallas area and love their food. The catfish is always fresh and tasty. I like it better than the other fish restaurants I have been to. Some of the reviews I read on Crazy Catfish said they didn't provide enough tartar Sauce. They had no problem giving extra when I asked for it. Great food. read more

My mom talks about this place all the time. So today I bought her lunch. It was so good, they must have up there seasoning game full of flavor. I will be back! read more

I got the catfish nuggets they were good not too expensive... they came with fries and hush puppies... the owner was nice always greeting customers when they first enter. My 3rd time returning. read more

Whew.... let me start by saying that any time I don't see Cajun people frying the fish when I walk in, I get nervous. My nerves were right. Let's start with the good stuff though. The technique of cooking the food was perfect! They know how to fry catfish, okra, oysters, and hushpuppies, which is what I ordered. The guy taking the order was nice, spoke pretty good English, so it didn't take long for me to ask my questions and put my order in. The restaurant was okay on the cleanliness. There were lots of crumbs by the tables and some weren't cleaned off. It wasn't busy, as most people were getting their food to-go. The food took about 7-8 minute to come out and the food presentation was nice. But let's get to the taste of the food. I want to preface this by saying that my family is from "Cajun country" Louisiana, so I consider myself a catfish connoisseur. This fish was SO bland, I went back up to the counter to ask if they had some seasoning. He proceeded to tell me that they only have salt and pepper. Huh? No onion powder, garlic powder? Or Tony's? Or Lawry's? It tastes like they fried the fish in bland cornmeal, not even the Louisiana fish fry corn meal, which would have helped out the flavor. The cooks need to go and be great and cook something they are good at because seasoning fish/seafood is not one of them. I would not recommend this place at the top of the fried catfish food chain. That's just my two-piece. Yes I finished my $11 meal though. Can't waste food. read more

Fried Fried Fried that is it..... I really hoped to find a great place for cat fish. We walked in and it was not as clean as I really feel a place should be but that's why they call it a hole in the wall..... lol jk The prices in my opinion are way too high. Now on with the fish. Well sorry its about what anyone can do at home in fact I can do better. The fish is much smaller then it should be for the price, hush puppies were on the over fried side...fries were not good..... flavor what's that ? they had none..... shrimp was made to look bigger then they were lol..... ok the slaw omg this was just gross. I seriously thought it was days days old and I swear there was rice in it. I took it back right away and showed them how it even looked old..... the worked did not care at all..... yep I was shocked. Both the cocktail sauce and the tarter sauce are right out of a can WTH ok ladies that work there make up something good those 2 sauces are so easy to make.....dont go buy that crap. Oh ask for more and at first they wanted to charge more LOL I said no way no how. They gave some up after I told them in Spanish a few professional words. Ok so if anyone knows a great place for cat fish please let me know.... :) read more

We swung by here on a whim and got a 6 fillet meal. The fries are AMAZING and the hush puppies too! I've only had hush puppies from Long John Silvers...so in comparison, these were really good. The fillets were good, a little salty. The employees were very friendly and kind. Overall a great experience. read more

The catfish taste like it had been sitting in water with other fishy smelling fish. Yuck.. 1 star as it was required.. i say add a -* for not so well experiences.. read more

Not the most attractive spot to eat, but if you're going to take the food home it's the best. Catfish is cooked perfectly and it is not greasy! read more

so fucking good. the tartar sauce isn't the best, it's more sweet but i think it just needs more relish but boooooooooooooooooy their COCKTAIL SAUCE??????? oh my god. it reminds me of the cherry mustard at razzoos; so DAMN GOOD. catfish wise, it's a little on the wet side but, it's still very good. the shrimp that they have are not small and you definitely get what you pay for size wise. I highly recommend this place. I'm so glad my mother and I decided to try it, i can't wait to go back!! read more
