I've been craving some catfish for some time so I decided to give the place a shot l. I offered the fried pickles and a catfish po'boy that came with fries. The fried pickles tasted outstanding and tasted great with the ranch. The sandwich and fries though were not that great. The catfish inside tasted descent, but the bread they used was hard and tasted stale. As for the fries, I found them to be pretty mediocre compared to the superior fried pickles. If you're hungry for a po'boy, best go somewhere else. If you want some fried pickles, then this place is for you. read more

Went back to eat my catfish to get some "non fried" fried food!! We got the big willie and added an extra pound of crawfish... Everything was great. My lips are still on fire. Excellent job on the crab legs, shrimp and crawfish... I want to thank the owner for reaching out to me after my previous review. Great customer service read more

Love this place! I had the best fried catfish ever at the Benton location. However, at this location, my "extra crispy" ordered catfish was a little greasy and not crispy. Still great, fresh flavor, though. And they have fantastic homemade tartar sauce! The best food here: garlic fries! Just do it. Even just their regular seasoned fries are great, though. Their buckets are a good deal. The minnow bucket is only $16 and comes with 1 lb crawfish (really good and fresh), 1/2 lb shrimp (perfectly cooked), corn, and a potato. The spicy order is very spicy, but in a good way. read more

See all

Great fried catfish. Super casual. Nice selection of sides. They have crawfish and crabs too. Yum!

Always a great place to get catfish. I always order take out. I have to stay away for now. Being addicted to Catfish, this place becomes my supplier (sorry) an addiction I don't want to afford for now. Yet it's almost a guarantee that ill be back... read more

We used to hear so much hype about this place and how good it was. After first visiting the Benton location then the Conway location multiple times; I can say we won't be back. The fish is bland, small pieces, and everything just tastes likes old grease. We've tried multiple items on the menu (we're a family of 6), and just continually get disappointed. At the Conway location, it's hit or miss whether the soda machine is working or has ice. We've tried their fish, shrimp, crawfish bucket that came with shrimp and crab legs, wings, fried pickles, and chicken strips. If you want any flavor at all you have to use their seasoning they have at the table or soak everything in some sort of condiment they have on hand; ie lemon wedges, tartar, hot sauce. read more

I ordered the Minnow Bucket. The crawfish and the shrimp were well cooked and seasoned, served at room temperature. The corn was cold and totally unseasoned. Traditionally corn and potatoes are cooked with the crawfish and therefore absorb the Cajun spices. If you look closely at my tray, you will see that there is no potato. The server informed me that they had run out of potatoes and they were cooking more. In about 10 minutes, the server delivered a potato the size of a small lemon - STONE COLD and no seasoning at all. My advise is order the food to go and reheat it at home where you can add some butter to the corn and potatoes. read more

When I am visiting AR, I have to eat catfish at least once while I'm there. Here's how Eat My Catfish works: You place your order and find your seat. There's a station with beverages, sauces, lemons, etc. There's also a huge trough to wash up before and after you eat. They bring your order to the table. You eat! My experience: Staff was very patient when I was ordering and asking questions. Prices are reasonable. Catfish was excellent. Very tender but fillets seemed a little small. The beans and slaw were average. Hush puppies- Yum! I ordered a deep fried pecan pie. I wouldn't get this again. The filling was pretty runny and it was just a sweet filling and a mess. The restaurant and the bathrooms were very clean. All in all, I would eat here again, if I was in the area and craving catfish. But I would try different sides and dessert. read more

Catfish is fresh, but bland tasting. Yengling beer was flat. Servers are very friendly. read more

(2/12/21-6:30 PM). Great catfish dinners but ...Gumbo ....not so much! Just ordered two large carry outs- here is what we got: 2/3 of a cup stuffed with dry rice, a few shrimp stuffed in the bottom of the rice that had never been in the roux.. I've never in my life had such poor "Gumbo?" .. Don't do it! It was a joke. If they ran out of their good gumbo they should have quit selling it- not tried to get by with what we were served, it was pitiful, will not do that again! Harry Conway read more

Great food great service cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We at the one in Conway on our way to Branson, I got the try it all. It was good but I wished it had been served hotter

I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about this place . The boiled crawfish and shrimp are 100% WRONG. You don't season the shells for Christ's sake. I'm from New Orleans and I can tell you with absolute certainty that these people don't have a clue as to how to boil crawfish or shrimp. The proper way is to put your crawfish boil and other seasoning and fixins like onions quartered , Peppers , garlic cloves , lemons halved, potatoes, corn , sausage , mushrooms etc , pretty much anything you want, let that come to a boil , add your crawfish / shrimp / crabs whatever and boil for 15 minutes. Then let it SOAK !!!! Roughly 15/20 minutes/. That's how the seasoning gets into the seafood !! Not one place in Louisiana , Texas, Mississippi, Alabama or Florida will you EVER EVER see someone put some type of sprinkle on seasoning on the damn shells . Geez people get a clue !! read more

The catfish was amazing great flavor and you can tell it's not frozen! The crab legs where really good but got cold very quick. Customer service was great! I'm in town for work, and planning to stop in again! Oh and my photo of the crab legs was after I had already started eating lol. So I had more than that! read more

Recently visited Eat My Catfish in Conway. Was a very disappointing visit!! We have eaten there before, but may not return again!! The catfish was tasty, but my order had 3 of smallest pieces of fish I have ever seen!! I got no hush puppies and about 10-12 French fries!! Service was NONE EXISTENT!! After placing our order it was over 30 minutes and we had seen no one!! Finally, got the attention of an employee and ask would they check on order. Came back and said they were working on it and would be out soon!! 10-15 minutes later we finally got our food, what there was of it!! Taste of fish was good, but VERY SMALL servings!! Very DISAPPOINTED!! Not sure why it took so long, but they could have at least kept us informed!! read more

Great service, great prices, and convenient location. The billboard caught our attention on our way home from a road trip and we decided to swing by. Our only complaint was no cocktail or tartar sauce. read more

In town for a family event. The food was pretty good, But the service was AMAZING! Those young teenagers are great at customer service. I had the catfish dinner and my mom had the catfish and shrimp combo. If you are in the area I would recommend. read more

5:30 Friday evening. We walk in and are standing in line, we are a party of 5. Behind us is a party of 10. Both registers seem open so we step to the fellow on the left register. The lady working the right register tells us that one is for online orders only. So he stands there with nothing to do while she takes orders in front of us. After about 5 minutes waiting while she takes orders and that guy just stands there looking at us the group behind us decides to leave because the wait seems unreasonable. Now I don't know much about the service business but I immediately thought how they gave up a $200 sale to keep a register free that no one was using. Moving on. Again, Friday evening 5:30 and no tartar sauce. I went to the lady at the front and asked for some, she said she would fix it. I went back and sat down. This happened three times. On the fourth time I told her my food was now cold but could I please just have a couple of the tartar sauces sitting there in to go containers, she finally gave in. The food was ok. The staff acted like they didn't know it was a Friday evening. Unprepared and unaware. Also, the fried green tomatoes are actually pieces of sweet tomato relish battered and fried. Terrible. Won't be back. read more

The ordered the boiled shrimp and my husband ordered the catfish and fries. His food came out very hot and fresh. My food came out around the same time and it was a little chilly. It was still delicious, but I would have liked it hotter. read more

The last three orders have been wrong. The first one they left off the side items. The second I ordered the "Minnow Bucket" which is supposed to be crawfish, shrimp, and crab legs. When they brought my order out to my vehicle in started to look inside the bag to make sure it was all there...the "attendant" outside asked if there was anything wrong and I told him I was making sure it was all there. He acted offended and told me it was all there and not to worry about it. Of course, I got home to find there were no crab legs at all. So, giving them the benefit of the doubt I went back one more time for a take out order of crab legs. Got home only to find the legs were already broken open and the sides were all but missing. We're done with this place. read more

I can't eat in any restaurant that uses MSG. I still get deathly ill from cross contamination. It's in their Willie Dust seasoning. Cleanliness of bathrooms and table condiments could be better. read more

Not super impressed but if you want seafood in Conway it's 5 stars. I was supposed to have a pound of crawfish but about 15 of them unless they on steroids and In the gym everyday that was about 8 oz worth, the 8 oz I ate where terrific though!!! I mean really good!! Crab legs sat in water to long, as well as the shrimp way over cooked I mean can't get the shell off so over cooked. Price is fine a little high but hey it Conway!! All in all I would be back! read more

Excellent! My sampler was delicious & Shrimp Po'boy ... so good. I took half the bread off my sandwich and really got the yummy flavors of the shrimp and slaw. And those fries! Love me some garlic and they did not disappoint! If I am ever in Conway again I will be s repeat customer! read more

I was crazy enough not to order the catfish as it is something I am not familiar with. People around me seemed to be enjoying it. I had the shrimp platter which was very good and I had the pleasure of ordering a nice, cold beer in this dry county. Would recommend. read more

Great service and food. I brought my Arizona native boys to try catfish for the first time while on summer vacation. Eat My Catfish did not disappoint! The catfish was tender, juicy and full of flavor. The Cajun tartar sauce was a crowd-pleaser as was the boiled shrimp. read more

My second time in, always clean, inviting, staff is great. Food is always fresh and tasty. I do wish they would offer draft beer, and waitress service, you feel rushed to read the small print menu and order at the register. Several people didn't realize you get your on silverware, tarter sauce, ect. Didn't tip either time, it's kinda self service. read more

Hush puppies are good. Fried fish and French fries are good. Did not care for stuffed shrimp. Have had much better, more authentic elsewhere. read more

Good fish and hush puppies. Fried pickles were not very good, but everything else we had was tasty, hot, and served quickly.

Good catfish- food is what you expect- all fried, but good if you are craving a southern catfish dinner.

Arrived on Conway on a stopover traveling East. Remembered great catfish from years ago. Eat My Catfish did not disappoint! Lightly battered and delicious! I do also love menses tartar sauce. It tasted more like a remelaude sauce. Fries and okra very good. Draft beer would have been an extra plus! Reasonably priced and servings that didn't overwhelm you. Also strawberry fried pie is the winner! read more

Visiting from Texas on business I was looking for a really good seafood restaurant. Being from New Orleans I tend to be really picky about seafood. I heard they had crawfish here. I went in and ordered. Let me say the crawfish were boiled to perfection. If I lived in Conway I would be a frequent customer. Just fantastic. The andouille sausage was amazing also. By the way we went back the next day! read more

Not really impressed. Catfish and shrimp were soggy. Beans and fries were terrible. Crab legs were over cooked and had difficult time getting meat out of shell. Just not worth $53 we spent. I've cooked better crab legs from Kroger with just a fraction of the cost for 1 lb. read more

Great food, friendly service and the ambience is good too! My husband enjoyed their crawfish. read more

I love eat my catfish and I don't even eat seafood. The chicken is always fresh and delicious. They say the garlic fries are a house specialty... But unless you like tons of raw garlic, watch out! You'll definitely ward off a vampire with those bad boys. Keep it simple and get the plain fries. Other than that, delicious! read more

Eat My Catfish - Watch out when ordering the garlic fries.... They're EXTREMELY garlicky. Inedible for my taste. Next time I'm going back to plain fries. - Seafood Near Me - Conway, Arkansas

We ordered the catfish dinner. When the waitress brought us our meal, we were shocked to see the pieces of fish had gotten smaller in size. They weren't always that small. The meal was good. The size of the catfish is my only complaint. Employee were friendly, which is always a big plus. read more

Worse dining experience I've ever had. The food was terrible and not hot. We will not be back and will never recommend it to anyone

This isn't your Grandpa's buffet catfish. The fish here is consistantly clean and fresh! The beans and slaw are great too. A plus for my family is that they have a special breading for gluten sensitivities. I eat their catfish weekly :) Cheers! read more

Best catfish I have ever eaten, everything is fresh and definitely We are keeping coming back week after week. Mrs. Dawn she is such adorable person and great with her clientele, taken good care of my family always. Worth it and a100% excellent fresh fish you will ever get 4 seasons all around. read more

We fell in love with boiled crawfish when my husband and I were living in Mississippi. But after moving to California, we haven't had any good crawfish. So we have been really craving for them. During our recent trip to Conway, AR we found out that crawfish was in season, and Eat My Catfish has them on their menu. So we decided to give it a try. We ordered 1/2 lb of spicy boiled shrimp, 4 lbs of crawfish, and some fried catfish fillet. All of them were very delicious and fresh. We will definitely go back again. read more
