We literally ran through the menu. The ribs are great, so is the chopped bbq, and the BBQ loaded potato lives up to its name. Let me also mention the sides. The baked beans - not what you'd expect (in a good way). They're not sickeningly sweet and have a little zip to them (and good helping of smoked pork added). We weren't crazy about the yellow slaw, just not our thing. But it might be yours. Today we got takeout, but this place has a dining room that seats plenty of guests, has great views of the lake, and the service is really great - the young woman who took our order was as kind as could be. Bring cash (there's a charge for cards - seems to be more and more common these days). And, bring an empty stomach. I couldn't eat all of my ribs, so my son (who was born hollow) finished them off (as well as his sister's). The next time we come we will dine in - I'm looking forward to that. read more

Yesterday, we were passing through the area and decided to stop in for lunch around 1 p.m. We sat in the last booth on the right, near the window overlooking the river. Unfortunately, we waited about 20 minutes without any acknowledgment from the staff. Eventually, we got up and left. On a positive note, the food coming out to other tables looked good, parking was convenient, and the restroom was clean. read more

Good BBQ. Outside dining or inside. Great desserts. Enjoy dining on open dock. Setting is beautiful on water. Definitely go back again

Used to be regulars here. But the prices went up, and portion sizes went way smaller. Not enough to eat. You pay a lot, and leave hungry. Unless you want to fill up on fried hush puppies. Which I don't care for. We quit going here. read more

Love that catfish! Service was good also. Don't like NO refills on drinks. Views of the lake are great!

Food was cold super small portions the place was so dirty.... Not again will we eat here and it's too bad.

Authentic Southern food. Our dining experience was a real pleasure. We can highly recommend Mud Creek.

Great place. Great view. Service slow. Complimentary hush puppies were a surprise, though not the best. 3/5 stars for BBQ sandwich but 5/5 stars for the fried and grilled shrimp. Will return! read more

Horrible Customer Service!! I had the back room reserved for a party when booked they wrote my name down on the calendar for Monday the 26th. I sent out invitations to the party! Someone messaged me and confirmed the date with me because they thought they were closed on Mondays. I called this morning to confirm my reservation and the girl that answered the phone stated yes party for Emily on the 26th? I said yes and explained I was just confirming because someone questioned the invitation I sent out. The girl stated oh we are closed on Mondays let me speak with my manager. All I got was I'm sorry!! So now I have to figure out a place for a party and resend invitations!! Ridiculous! Lesson learned always check hours yourself because apparently the workers have no idea!! Do not recommend Mud Creek! read more

My family and I were in town after playing baseball at the local park and decided to sip by for lunch. We walked in and the waiters were very inform just pointing at our seat saying, "y'all can sit over there". Once we sat down we were approached by a young waitress with on of her AirPods in her ear to get our drink and food orders. After a short wait we were served the smallest portion sizes I've seen. 5$ for less than an oz of potato salad?! I took a bite into my bbq sandwich and it was mediocre at best. When we were paying our bill we approached the counter to Thai girls scrolling through tic tok, it took them a moment to even notice us. The overall feel of the restaurant though was pretty cozy, but that doesn't make up for any more of it. read more

Great ribs and love the fried white fish! The servers are kind and do a great job. Apparently they close at 7 pm now so go early.

Good food. Good service. A nice place with a nice view. If your running back-n-forth between Huntsville & Chattanooga and are feeling a bit hungry, make the stop! I know we'll be back. read more

I stopped and got the catfish fillet. Figured since they were fillets, it would small so I ordered the large portion with 5 fillets. Boy was I wrong, they brought out enough fish to feed two people. The waitress was wonderful. Never felt that I was forgot about and the view of the lake behind the building is very peaceful. Also the hush puppies they bring out are wonderful. read more

Where to start. We grew up eating Mud Creek and Bud's. I'm not sure what they have done to the meat but it's definitely different. The sauce.... The thicker sauce on the table needs to go in the garbage. My husband did say the only thing they haven't messed up was the fries. If you grew up like us you know the disappointment. read more

Server: "What'll you have, darling?" Me: "I'll have the ribs." Server: "Well look at you, fancy city boy, is having the ribs for lunch!" (At least, that's what I imagined she was thinking in her head.) $12.50 for everything - dry rub rib plate (half slab, choice of potato, yellow slaw, beans, roll), ginormous sweet tea, and complimentary basket of hush puppies. The ribs were meaty and tender but not exceptional - definitely the best in the Scottsboro area though. The ginormous sweet tea is very necessary to balance out the food coma. And being the fancy city boy, I had to leave a $2.50 tip to keep up my rep. read more

Mud Creek BBQ - Rib Platter - Dry rub half rack, choice of potato, slaw, beans, roll. (There's a second row of ribs hiding under the first!) - Barbeque Near Me - Hollywood, Alabama

Very friendly good humored staff. Great view of the lake. Quality bar-b. Save room for desert good gawd.

The catfish and hush puppies were excellent! The fried shrimp was tasty but had a bit more breading than anticipated. The grilled shrimp was tasty. We had a nice view of the water and spotted water fowl and fishermen. read more

Great food, cool location, kid friendly. The food was out to us very fast, and a basket of hush puppies kept the kids busy for the few minutes that we did wait. Great service and atmosphere. Couldn't have asked for anything more! read more

First time at Mud Creek BBQ and Catfish. Waitress starts you off with a basket of hot hushpuppies. I ordered the grilled shrimp with Greek seasoning, fries and coleslaw. Service was friendly and prompt. Kept my water glass filled. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. read more

Cute place inside. The staff was extremely friendly. They brought out fresh hush puppies for free with the drinks. My husband loved the Brunswick stew. I had the loaded BBQ baked potato. Mine was ok. Potato was burned which I'm not sure how you do. I didn't complain and ate the inside. I would recommend this restaurant and I am pretty selective. read more

Even though the BBQ is good, I can't get past the catfish fillets. I've been going here for several years and I always get the catfish. I've been with other folks that get the BBQ and it is good, but did I say I always get the catfish? LOL....Awesome hush puppies, fries and good southern slaw makes it my favorite place. read more

Friend recommended we go here, he must have had something that we did not. The pulled pork was flavorless, it was like a meaty wad of cotton, Iughhh. I have to say service was wonderful!! The view was lovely, just wish we hadn't ordered. read more

Very good service and food. Gotta try the coconut cake. Wow was great. Also great view.

Great BBQ!! I normally don't eat a lot of Barbque but there sauce and hush puppies are my favorite!

Some of the best fried catfish on the planet. Certainly the best I've ever had. The pork barbecue is very good but I almost always order the catfish. read more

First visit. Been here since the forties. Barbecue and catfish were ok, nothing special. Hush puppies a little greasy. Friendly and efficient service. Good ice tea. Will try again. read more

We have eaten at this restaurant for over 30 years and this was by far one of our worst experiences ever anywhere. We waited for over 45 minutes to get our order and then found out what took so long was that part of it wasn't done. They started over so all our food would come out together. Now when we finally got the meal the chicken fingers were too touch to eat once piece of white fish was missing from the large whitefish plate and the baked potato was missing on the steak plate. We probably won't be back for a very long time. Hoping whatever is going on works its way out. read more

We found this place on a whim. The whole family loved it. Great, super friendly service. Brunswick stew, BBQ plate and loaded baked potato were al so good! And the hush puppies!! Yummy!!! Will be back soon for sure!! Very clean and nice inside with great view of the lake. read more

BBQ is great, and the brownie cake a la mode was everything a girl could want. Awesome!

I have really enjoyed my food every time I've visited! I often got the blackened catfish (which had the perfect amount of heat) and a heaping helping of sides (usually okra, greens, or a potato). The sweet tea was always spot on... as it should be! We usually got our food quickly and the portions were always large. It's a bit out of the way to get to, but Mud Creek is well worth the drive for some delicious southern seafood. read more

I don't visit my hometown without heading here. It's delicious, inexpensive, and the staff is friendly. My personal favorites are the pork BBQ and fried whole catfish. read more

Eh, it was ok but not as good as a couple locals suggested. I (messed up and) chose the grilled whitefish with a light portion of the cajun seasoning. The whitefish was mushy and it basically tasted like boiled shrimp that had been sitting in water too long. The baked potato was good and properly cooked. The hush puppies were doughy. They needed another 30 seconds in the fryer. Our waitress was hit & miss. She was good, but kinda disappeared after a while and had to flag down another waitress to get dessert. Our original waitress brought the dessert back out as well as the bill. This was Friday and there was a big pro-fishing tour get-together in the back room so the wait staff may have been overwhelmed. She was working hard but was probably just really busy. Food took a long time to arrive and my fish seems to have been sitting a while before it was brought out. It was lukewarm. Other people in my party got shrimp and catfish. They enjoyed their meal more than I did. We all got pecan pie, heated with ice cream for dessert. It was really good. I'll go back when I'm back in that area again, but will try bbq or catfish next time. If you have seafood allergies (one in our party did), they told us they didn't cook the catfish in the seafood oil. The catfish and seafood are cooked in mutually exclusive pots. Dinner for 4 adults and 3 desserts was about $57 plus tip. read more

Really don't know how to say how good this lunch was. We were camping at Cloudland state park a mad a day trip to the Unclaimed Baggage Store in Scottsboro, AL and need lunch so I looked up places to eat and Mud Creek BBQ came up. What a great choice the reviews were all good and everyone commented on the Hushpuppies so I had to go and glad that we did. I had the catfish whole but I would recommend the filets to look better but all that the some amazing. We also ordered the Rib Plate and the Pork plate and it was all great. Really great and friendly service. I can't say enough about this place. read more

We eat there about once a week. Grilled lemon-pepper Talapia is good, hush puppies are excellent, brought when you first arrive. BarBQ pork plate is excellent, served with a tangy-spicey sauce, if you like it hotter. Friendly waitresses. read more

Get the catfish! Awesome catfish, so so Bbq , so so slaw, God onion rings and great hush puppies . We don't usually eat a lot of fried food but we gobbled the catfish right down. Worth the stop! The Fishing Camp and The BBQ Restaurant have two locations on Yelp but it's one restaurant read more

This place is wonderful. I went two weeks ago, last weekend and about to go again tonight. The food was extremely good and even though it's a bbq place, the catfish is amazing. The grilled chicken was pretty good too. I'll be going back next week too. read more

Catfish filets are the best. We take the boat and tie it at the dock most times we visit. Great family place for a good southern meal with some nice folks. read more

Looking for a place to eat lunch and found Mud Creek. Food is excellent!! Great catfish and the hushpuppies are very light with lots of onions. A must try, it also has a great view of the river. Right off 72 between Scottsboro and Stevenson Alabama. read more

I love this place just got a cheeseburger and it was pretty good and I'm been eating here since I was a baby and I've always like there food

My sister recommended this place to us for a couple of years so we decided to go with her on a Friday night. When we walked in, every eye in the room turned to look at us. It is off the beaten path so it appears they are use to the same people and not new customers. Even though it was Friday evening, it was not hard to get seated. Our waitress came over immediately and ask for our drink order and if we had any questions. I ask he a question and she acted like she was disgusted with my question. We got our drinks and I made another mistake by asking another question. Wow the waitress did not like that. The food was hot and it was delicious. My sister had the catfish and we had the white fish. It was some of the best fish I ever had in my life. We had to flag the waitress down to get desert and ask for boxes. Then we had to flag her down for the check. I would highly recommend this place but the waitress we had, was not friendly and maybe should rethink her career in the public sector. read more
