The food here was delicious! Definitely the place to go to for some good fried sea food. The staff was super friendly as well.

Great food at great prices. Best hush puppies ever! Sweet and moist. The frog legs were the best I've ever had! Fried green tomatoes were thinly sliced and had minimal breading. Excellent! My husband had one pound of steamed shrimp. Very good. Fast service and attentive wait staff. Casual and homey place . read more

Favorite place in town ! Delicious !The catfish is sweet and the scallops will melt in your mouth. The best ranch dressing I have ever had . The red sauce and tartar are especially great. read more

Best catfish this side of Idaho cooked in corn meal not batter like most East Coast places. Wife had fried lobster, best this side of New England. Don't hesitate go, eat, enjoy! read more

Love this place... All the locals eat here! Great service and food!

Fried alligator, turtle, frog, and catfish? If you're looking for a southern style hootenanny, look no further. Catfish Place is a hole in the wall, serving some of the best swamp food you can find. Friendly staff, only knock is that it was it was impossible to find. read more

The fried turtle is a MUST try. I love gator, but the turtle was awesome. 2 picky kids tried it and loved it.

My favorite Fish place. The catfish is awesome, great hush puppies and cole slaw. Servers are friendly and fast.

Was recommended this place from our airboat tour guide and we wanted to try some "Florida food" since we were on vacation and have a group of adventurous eaters. We tried the gator, turtle, catfish and frog legs. I also had the shrimp. Interesting and good, though still a little weird for me! The staff was nice too. read more

If you want Floridian food this is the place. Great service and big serving. It is little pricey for a regular dinning out day. Will be back for sure but will not be that often. read more

Looking for a great local place...this is it! My family loves this place and yes everything can be fried but you can also get everything broiled too. I love it both ways. If you are looking for fancy fine dining then this is NOT the place. But if you are looking for simple fantastic food at a great price with super friendly service. .you have found the right place. Also they do take out read more

Been going to the Catfish Place for at least 20 years. The menu had remained amazingly consistent, and quality has never dropped. I swear by the gator tale. It is a must if you visit Orlando. Yes, redneck territory, but not redneck treatment. read more

What can you say about The Catfish Place. Bonnie and the crew are just as wonderful as the food!

Made the drive from Orlando while vacationing from Kentucky. Amazing food, great service. You won't leave hungry. Very busy at lunchtime so I knew it must have been good upon arriving. read more

If you like good southern fried catfish, you'll love this place. Good and very friendly customer service. Hush puppies were crispy and sweet, pork chop was juicy, fish was fresh and not fishy. I am very please. The waitress checked on us frequently to make sure we were happy. I will go back again to try other items, soon! read more

We love The Catfish Place! Great southern style seafood! The catfish fingerlings are incredible!

Great service, great people! Building is kind of all they could probably use a renovation or updating. It's a really great place to take friends and family who are not from the area so they can eat some really cool local food. I absolutely love their fried chicken read more

Delicious, delicious, delicious! Their shrimp is breaded by them, and is very light and tasty! The sides are delicious, and some are even a bit "unique" for dinner - grits, so I can kind of have "shrimp and grits"; hash browns, etc. If you come to Orlando, take the short trip to St. Cloud, and enjoy seafood deliciousness! read more

Excellent food and service every time! Love the hometown, welcoming environment & food is amazing! One of my favorite restaurants!

DELICIOUS, excellent quality. It is perfect cheat on your diet, homestyle, comfort food. Gooooood eating!!!

Love it !!!! Great food --- great people !!! We visit every time we come down from Georgia.

A hidden seafood gem. Had the gator, turtle, scallops, big shrimp, and red snapper. All of it was yummy. Portions are out of this world. Recommend this place if you are in the mood for seafood. read more

We were referred here by our airboat tour guide. Awesome local joint. Super service, great food with large portions.

Fabulous food catfish was cooked to perfection , turtle and gator were amazing,, highly recommended! !!

Portions are huge and food is always the same. Good, though I wouldn't say excellent. You do receive large portions, though. The best nights to go are Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday when they offer their dinner for two for $16.99. Great deal with lots of options. I recommend the fried clams (appropriately chewy but not tough). Always get hush puppies and eat with honey. read more

Love this place! A little on the pricey side, especially if you want to try anything other than catfish. But everything is delicious and all the sides are good. Service has always been good the three times I have been. Definitely recommend the turtle. read more

Husband just spent the day in the hospital from confirmed food poisoning - five days of illness and he's still sick. Daughter and her boyfriend were sick same night for 24 hours. From same visit. He had a hamburger; they had fried seafood. Sorry, but I should have heeded the warnings re closure by Health Dept last fall. Will never ever patronize this restaurant again - campylobacter is a very serious illness. One star only because Yelp required a rating. Awful experience. read more

Last day before the long road trip back home..heard this place is well know for Florida southern food so had to try it out to see what it is all about ...they serve mainly deep fried seafood ...EVERYTHING was pretty much fried ... The portion was pretty big there was defiantly leftovers...I was with my whole family so we got four different types of entrees.. All entrees comes with two sides from the sides menu and hush puppies.. the hush puppies were really bland and hard i didn't like it at all... I got the boiled scallops with mashed potatoes and corn the mashed potatoes had a liquid texture which I didn't like at all... The corn was good! Sweet buttery...the scollops tasted like sea water ..ugh ..next entree deep fried cat fish had that hard core fish smell ...gosh...got Turtle meat which was some what ok ..fried of cores and gators tail...really bland and tangy... The sides and food was mediocre...but the service and the prices was great all that food came out to 30 bucks...the place was packed...but still didn't have an issue with service which was cool! read more

The food was awesome. Love the family friendly environment. This is our new favorite spot for seafood.

The Catfish Place is hands down one of the best seafood restaurants in the Kissimmee/St. Cloud area. I've been eating at this restaurant for over 10 years now and it still is one of my favorite places to go. Don't let the name fool you, while the catfish is great here, there is a large variety of other types of seafood to pick from (shrimp, scallops, snapper, flounder, to name a few). With your fish you'll get fantastic sides, including out-of-this-world hush puppies. I would recommend going at lunch time since this is when you'll get the best value. Its a favorite among the locals for good reason. read more

This place is great if you like fried seafood. I ordered the House Special where you can try catfish, gator, turtle, frog legs, clams, oysters, etc...They were all lightly breaded and well cooked. They were just right coated in batter and tasted fine. They were not greased at all. However, the french fries were not so good. They were more greasy and some of them were burnt and could not be eaten. Our waitress was very nice and honest. We had order chicken noodle soup and she told us that it was from a can that day just so we were aware about it. We did not order it and thanked her for her honesty. read more

This place is an Osceola County landmark. It represents the traditional cooking of "Old Florida". In addition to what you would expect like catfish, shrimp, oysters, scallops, they have all kinds of more exotic stuff on their menu - frog legs, gator tail, turtle. The food they serve is good to excellent. Portions are very large - I always have to carry about half my meal home in a box. Prices are reasonable. Almost all their clients are local because it's about 10 miles east of the tourist corridor. Servers are very friendly - mostly good ole gals who were born and raised in the area. read more

It's almost impossible to get a seat at this place during the weekend. But I skip weekends and go for the chicken fried steak dinner special on Wednesday and Thursday. If I'm not mistaken, they hand bread the steaks and then fry them, which is very hard to find these days. Plenty of white gravy for the top if you ask for extra at NO extra charge. Big portions, great fries, and if you don't like the smell of seafood, getting an order to go is the best idea around. read more

I love the catfish place! It's my favorite place to eat. The customer service is always great. They treat you like family. The portions are big and shareable and the oil that they fry things in is never rancid. The food is delicious and fresh and the sweet tea is cold and yummy! They're great with kids too! read more

been multiple times while visiting family, this last time gave it another shot because of its place on Emeril's new show. highly overrated, everything deep fried and taste the same. prob last visit read more

The last time my husband and I ate here, the food was nasty. You could tell it had sat under the hot lights for hours. Not fresh, old and gross. Definitely lacking in quality. read more

I had heard about this place for quite some time. So when I dropped my Mother at her Sisters in St. Cloud I decided, "what the heck lets try it". Its was great. Being born and raised in Baltimore, I know my seafood and the fried shrimp and clams are good. So i told my Mother and my Aunt they needed to go during the week for lunch. Mothers first response was, " Oh I dont eat those dirty things." I said, "Oh no way you need to try it before you make a statement like that." Being Seniors they picked Tuesday to enjoy the discount. My Mother now loves the fried catfish and shirmp combo. They eat there ALOT. The Shrimp is hand breaded and the cold slaw will make you slap your Momma, its soo good. The hush puppies are moist and taste delicous with honey (thats on every table). I havent worked up the courage to taste the fresh water turtle yet, but i will. It is by far not a fancy place, but you pay for the fancy. If you want good down home no fuss food give it a try. read more

Great service, fun and delicious food. Bad decor, but a real southern style home feeling. I love it!

I'm from California, my husband from Florida. So needless to say, this food was new to me, but it was great. I was able to try gator, turtle, frog legs, and hush puppies; all wonderfully prepared. I had the sampler plate (which could have been shared by three people easily) and it included fried scallops, clams, oysters, catfish, shrimp, gator, turtle, frog legs, and hush puppies!! All great! The wait staff was great and outgoing. We had a great time. read more

We did an Airport Tour while we were in Florida. Captain Scott at Orlando Airboat Tours was Amazing. We ask him where he would eat and he told us to go to the Catfish Place Restaurant...... What a delicious lunch we had. The food was Amazing and the service was very good. They have combination plates that allow you to try several things, which was really fun. It was also my friends birthday, they brought us out the very best Key Lime Pie I have ever had. Too bad we live in California, because I would eat there all the time if it was close..... YUMMY describes it best. read more
