Ordered two catfish platters, one regular one super. Neither of the platters contained catfish, there was a white fish in both meals, neither of them had any type of flavor to them. The beans did not have seasoning, the coleslaw tasted a little on the spoiled side, not sure, the hushpuppies were the best part and they were on the dry side. The service was good, I went through the drive thru, the staff was kind and the wait was about 12 minutes but I assumed it was because they were cooking everything fresh. It was all edible but it was not a catfish dinner. read more

The food was mostly inedible. There was no one in the restaurant which should have been a sign to leave.

First time. Ordered Cajun Catfish with Shrimp Combo, came with French fries, hush puppies, pinto beans, and cole slaw. Shrimp and Fish were flavorful and fried very well. Fries were crispy and Cole slaw well balanced Prices are appropriate. 10 out of 10! Will be back again! read more

No words needed... Fish was dry, fries were old, absolutely no flavor, the speaker for the drive through doesn't even hardly work. The only upside to the whole establishment it the staff which was really sweet. Needless to say will not eat there again! read more

Service is getting worse. They knit pick on every little thing, customer service is horrible. The black female who is the cashier is just simply rude. When they sold the place it went downhill and I try and support restaurants in the community but it needs an overhaul. read more

Drive thru is cool. But the food was unseasoned and bland. Very dissatisfied and disappointed. Do better. Smh. read more

Yes!!! I can't tell you how happy I am that Catfish King brought back the original hush puppy(the long slender hushpuppy and not the sweet round kind you find anywhere). I stopped buying your fish because you stopped selling your original hush puppy. Pleasantly surprised they are back!!!! read more

David Beard's Catfish King - Fried catfish. No seasoning. No taste. - American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

For a first time visitor, the first impression will surely be a lasting impression. My partner and I recently relocated to the area. We delight in visiting new restaurants. We've gone past this place numerous times and decided to stop by on 2/17/2017. We arrived around 840pm only to find the doors locked. The posted sign says 11a-9pm. If a business finds they need to close early often, the posted hours should reflect as such. We sat outside wondering why they were closed with diners inside. We even called, but got no satisfaction. I consider this bad customer service. My one star is actually a "no star". read more

Have been a loyal customer of CK for years. Food is good.. No longer have the salad bar making it not such a good deal. Old location needs up grading Chain is letting this brand die and closing multiple locations. read more

worst catfish ever food was so bad everyone in our family threw it all away. catfish was cold coleslaw was awful was drowned in mayo french fr Ives w ere not cooked they were cold and mushy nothing was cooked completely we will ever eat there again even if they give it away! read more

I really don't think this is an official David Beard's Catfish King. No salad bar, not very clean inside. The batter for the fish doesn't seem to be the same as the original David Beard's. This explains why there were not crowded. Also, CHARGED US $1.89 FOR WATER! read more

This place DESTROYS Long John Silvers! The onion rings alone are enough to eat here. Trust me.

We've been coming here almost weekly for months now, and although I usually order the catfish, I need to add that the chicken fried steak dinners are terrific. Not too heavily breaded, perfectly tenderized, just what you want in a CFS. And after all this time, we are regulars and the cashier recognizes us, which is fun. read more

Food is great! Atmosphere dated, but staff is extremely friendly. We ate the shrimp and fish, both delicious.

wow..............this place use to have the best catfish around. me and my wife went on saturday4-3-21 and they served us something other than catfish. poor taste, spongey texture .........other reviews suggest swaii. not worth the $28.00 i spent there. we left hungry with most of the food left on the table. rip catfish king read more
