The two stars was because the ladies were really nice.

On our way back from Branson, we found the Red River Café. We're glad we did. It was exactly what…read morewe were looking for. A small, welcoming, country Café. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and promptly waited on. Our server was friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the food was served hot, fresh and fast. I guess even more most importantly...it was good. I had the Hickory burger, and it was cooked perfectly to my liking. It's a big burger, fresh toppings, and served with plenty of fries. My wife had the Philly cheese quesadilla, which was the daily special, and it was very tasty. She also had the onion rings, which were uniquely prepared, and good and crispy. Yummy. There was several freshly prepared desserts. We opted for the large oatmeal cookie and three freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. They were good! Additionally, the interior of the café is super cute. Exactly what you would expect from a small country café. If you're ever in Leslie Arkansas, I recommend giving it a try

Another reviewer said, "No atmosphere, like a bingo hall". That's hitting the nail on the head if you sit inside so try to sit in the back outdoor space for spectacular views! We all ordered the catfish dinner. We all agreed that it was excellent. The outside crust was crispy, not greasy, and the inside was juicy and tender. The catfish fillets were large, very generous portions. The dinner included a side and a trip to the salad bar. The salad greens were crisp and fresh. The salad bar isn't huge but has plenty of options. It was very good. My review is based on eating on a recent Wednesday around 5pm. The restaurant was pretty empty when we were there. We had a great server too. We are from out of town. We wouldn't hesitate going there again to try other food options. Although, I'd have a really hard time not reordering the catfish again! And I would sit outside on the back patio!

Frying it right does require a unique skill so we were interested to see if this place lived up to the hype. Well you're in for a treat worthy of a road-trip meal -- warm hospitality meets seriously flavorful Southern seafood. This place nails that cozy, down-home vibe without skimping on quality or portion size. Their fried catfish fillets and catfish steaks are golden, flaky, and satisfy that crispy-outside, tender-inside craving perfectly. The peel-and-eat shrimp regularly show up on locals' highlight reels, and if frog legs are your jam, they're on the buffet lineup too. On busy nights the buffet spreads wide, offering fried shrimp, hearty fish, and classic Southern sides that keep your plate rotating. The drink lineup may not be fancy, but it's exactly what pairs best with this kind of food: ice-cold sweet tea and lemonade refreshingly cut through the rich flavors, and classic soft drinks round things out with ease. If beer or wine is your companion of choice, there's usually a modest selection available to complement the meal. Being from the South, sides are just as important as the entrée -- and Catfish Barn delivers. You'll find creamy macaroni & cheese, broccoli mac salad, green beans, and pinto beans that feel like grandma just put them on the table. Don't skip the fried okra and hush puppies -- they're classic, crunchy bites that dance beautifully with tartar sauce. After all that savory goodness, you need dessert. Patrons consistently gush about the pecan cobbler and strawberry dessert, often topped with ice cream that melts into every sweet nook. Whether you're a local or a visitor, they're the perfect last course to cap a soul-satisfying meal. Catfish Barn isn't just a restaurant -- it's a small-town institution where food, friends, and family come together over big plates and bigger flavors. The buffet style keeps everything hot and plentiful, the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is casual yet full of warmth. Sure, expectations should stay humble (this isn't fine dining), but for genuine Southern seafood cooked with heart? This place stands tall. Would I come back? Absolutely -- with friends and a big appetite. All in all this was nothing crazy or fancy just down home southern cooking. Very inviting atmosphere. You can tell a lot of the customers are regulars and comfortable which in part is the staff because this was my first trip ever here and they made me feel at home.
