    Fried whitefish and Shrimp. Chicken tenders.
    Terry J.

    I'm going to start this review with I'm still throughly PO'd at YELP for taking my 2025'Elite Status away! 10 yrs of loyalty. That said The Catch is the best Fried Seafood in Texas. The place was packed...rightfully so. My only "irk" is the restaurant says it has catfish and whitefish on the menu. This is what drove us here. Hoping for cod or haddock. Instead we learned from the cashier that their whitefish was also catfish. Bummer...I like Catfish but love cod and Haddock. Good news their catfish was amazing. Hot, seasoned perfectly cooked to perfection. The shrimp was the best fried shrimp in Texas and their fries were seasoned and hot . Coleslaw...superb! My Sis got the chicken fingers and loved em. Bottom line we will be back! Soon!

    Horrible cheap ketchup!  NO!

    Went for a late lunch, it was 2:30 on a Sunday this place was still pretty busy! Tried the catfish basket, over great experience from service to the food. Catfish was perfectly and crispy, fries were seasoned well and the hush puppy was also good. I will definitely be back! The tartar sauce was also amazing. The only negative was the low quality cheap ketchup, it's tasted like nothing. Why do so much work to perfectly cook fries and then serve cheap bland ketchup? For the record all the other sauces (vinegar and hot sauces) at the table were brand name.

    Today was my 2nd visit. Don't know what took me so long between visits, but my mom was really craving some fried fish so we decided on The Catch. She's been threatening to try it for the past few years and she finally decided to check it out. My mom ordered the two piece white fish with Coleslaw and ordered my niece the popcorn shrimp kids meal. I ordered the one piece white fish with tots and a drink. Honestly didn't take more than about 6 min from ordering to having brought out to us. Food was fresh and HOT, just the way I like it. Literally had to pull the fish apart to let it cool off, but my goodness the batter was the perfect crunch and the seasoning they use is delicious! Tots also had the perfect crunch and seasoning. Once my nieces shrimp cooled down she was tearing it up! My mom was impressed and telling me how we needed to bring my dad up there. The place is clean, not greasy floors like other fish places I've been in the past. Had a honey atmosphere and there were several people there. We definitely found a new fish place to get our fix. Hands down the best white fish I've had. I will definitely be back.

    Jesus Christ Superstar!!!! The food was amazing. So many choices of wonderful dishes. The flavors flirts with your taste buds. On a Friday night, the place was jumping and the staff kept it moving. Everyone was nice and polite. The cooks are ordained by God. If I could eat there everyday I would. Prices are good as well. You will not break your wallet. One last thing, don't order the gumbo. If you do, you'll be automatically transported to New Orleans, speak Creole and love Jazz. Ok. That's not a bad thing.

    Bang Bang Shrimp! Really good.

    The Catch 07-11-24 Brought Dinner home from The Catch! We had boudin Balls, Bang Bang Shrimp, and Fried Mushrooms for appetizers Popcorn Shrimp and Chicken Tenders with Fries. All the food was packaged good and hot. All the food tasted so good! Cooked and seasoned really well. Still need to try the seafood boil. If it's like the other foods I've eaten here it will be great. The staff are helpful and friendly.

    Food was tremendous. Cajun pasta was filled with flavor and a nice portion. The staff were welcoming and hospitable. Will definitely be back again.

    The food was good. The aura was good. My whole family loved the place. The only thing that was mid was the dessert and we didn't even care about that because the food was so good. We all finished our plates. Also the people were super nice and courteous 9/10 would for sure recommend to somebody.

    Honestly we didn't expect the food to be as good as it was by the look of the building but it was great! Super good spot!

Their family is from Louisiana and they wanted Cajun food so we decided to try Frilly's since they had good yelp reviews. We arrived around 2:40 and decided to try the lunch special. I got the lunch crawfish combo. The price of $12.99 was very affordable. We ordered and were quickly seated. The service overall was good. We got our own water and got our food pretty quickly. The ambiance is casual sports family feel. I was excited with the quantity of food I got for the price. I got a large quantity of fried crawfish, crawfish étouffée, and dirty rice. The fried crawfish was tasty. The dirty rice was ok. I've definitely had better dirty rice with more flavor and more of a gravy with it. I also thought the étouffée was tasty but added a little hot sauce. Overall I liked Frilly's and would definitely return for the lunch special.

It paired so well with my red wine. Fo For our main we ordered chicken spaghetti bake $17.50. It consisted of fresh house-made spaghetti baked with house roasted chicken, white cheddar cream sauce, calabrese chili peppers, italian pico, five cheese blend.

I'm not sure how that happens when ordering a combo (I paid $9.31 and the combo was $9.99), but I didn't want to make a fuss since I knew it wasn't the $10.81 with tax (I thought she gave me a student discount or something) and was open to paying whatever difference. I DID chuckle though, thinking, 'they really want this $1.00 and some change,' but I charged it to economy-- and hard times. However, I was told the fries would be an additional $2.59, which is full price. Huh? I attempted to gain understanding, which I'm sure the pressure for the additional money was coming from the man cooking vs. the lady as the messenger, but didn't understand and wasn't paying full price. Fast forward to receiving food, I was told they allowed a 1/2 order of fries since I didn't purchase them. I was done. Chyle... food was terrible. Honey mustard wings were overcooked, tasteless and drowned in sauce. My "free" 1/2 order of fries were cooked too hard for the size. No one in our party was impressed and we felt the food was extremely bland (mind you we ordered a bit of everything). Upon leaving we went straight to Jersey Mike's. This used to be a place we'd frequent if in the area, but it's gone further downhill. It's sad because we love family owned restaurants--but we will not return.
