    Small 50/50 platter: fried catfish & oysters, hush puppies & lima beans with shrimp
    Mike C.

    Had it not been for Yelp, I would have never known about Philay's. We happened to be in the area, as we had just finished shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall, and we were looking for a place to eat. I had never heard of Philay's Catfish N' More, but the Yelp reviews were so good, that we decided to venture another 8.5 miles westward to try it out. It was very crowded upon our arrival, but this was a good sign that the food was worth the wait. We were seated fairly quickly and our server was Colby. Although crowded, the ambiance was inviting, albeit as little noisy. It definitely was a family clientele. My son got the Jumbeaux burger with fries and I can honestly say it was legit, as he allowed me to sample it. My wife got the small 50/50 platter with grilled fish, gilled shrimp and rice "pilaf". Again, I was afforded a sample of her platter and can say it too was legit. I also got the small 50/50 platter but with fried fish, fried oysters & MiMi's lima beans with shrimp. The fish was deliciously seasoned as were the oysters, but the oysters were entirely too small. I would have happily paid extra money for larger oysters, but perhaps they were not readily available or near being out of season. For dessert, we decided to try an order of Grammy's Banana pudding, with 3 spoons. I can honestly say that this was the best banana pudding I've ever eaten. The "Nilla" wafers were broken into smaller pieces, but there was something a little different, but very special, that made this pudding so darned good. It's a secret recipe, but I am guessing that it contained, cream cheese double cream or creme fraiche. Whatever it was, it was subtle enough that it still tasted like the "standard" banana pudding most of us know, but just different enough to make it very special. You have got to try it if you ever go.

    Everything we ate was delicious! The service by our waitress and the personal attention by the owner was amazing! I highly recommend the banana pudding.

    Fresh soft bread makes the difference with their fried shrimp Poboy plus the shrimp & corn soup was amazing!

    This place has some really good seafood. The catfish and shrimp are seasoned well and have a light crispy taste. I didn't like the crabcake it had a strange taste so they subbed it out for more shrimp. Their redbeans were awesome as was the service. This will definitely be one of my spots when I visit Louisiana.

    Friends Night out!! We had the works!! Apps: Crab claws marinated in butter green as suggested by our Waitress Denise and it did not disappoint! Crab cake creole and gumbo was okay. Gumbo was more like an etouffee and I can appreciate that the crab cake was made from real crab stuffing. The Cajun clusters and crab and shrimp queso was our favorite appetizers. Moving on to Entrees: The 50-50 platter with blackened fish and shrimp was good. The whole catfish platter and the big Easy were the star dishes of the night. The steak was cooked to perfection but they were skimpy on the sauce for the pasta dish. Overall great restaurant to socialize with friends and Denise keep the drinking coming!! Drinks: try the strawberry martini and Cajun punch.

    Crawfish baked potato

    Ate here last night. I am from California so when i come to LA I am always looking for great food. This place did not disappoint. I had the crawfish baked potato and it was delicious! Smothered in crawfish ettoufee with fried crawfish on top!! Delish!! Also had the crawfish balls which were amazing!! Tasted like they were fried in fried chicken batter on the outside. Delicious!! My hubby had one of the fried platters which he also enjoyed. Would definitely visit again.

    Cajun clusters--oh yeah!!!!!

    See all
