Food was great, service was great and portions were right for the cost. I suggested they look at Swai for their fish. It's cheaper and tastes like catfish. read more

Everything about this restaurant has me saying, never again. I've gone twice. Almost a year apart. It was absolutely terrible. I was running to the nasty bathroom before I even left. Everything we were served was dripping in grease. It's so dark, you can't see the dirt. When you go to the bathroom, there's a sign that says outhouse, you don't go through those doors, you turn at the sign. There was a hole in the floor that I think was supposed to be covered. But wasn't. There's a changing table that looks like it's never been cleaned and honestly I wouldn't put my baby on. The bathroom is dirty, it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months. I have no idea how people eat in the place. I will never go back. I paid $50 for 2 meals, an appetizer and 2 teas, FOR LUNCH. read more

This is the Burger Man, a member of the Best Burgers in America Association, and I was invited to come and score their burger. It was a good burger. The Meat little tough and leaned toward the Dry side. The Toppings were good and blended well. I suggested they use Iceberg Lettuce instead of romaine. Overall, all it was a good experience. They have great Seafood specials and other meat specials. read more

Being from New Orleans it sure is nice to find seafood fresh cooked to order. The wait staff was very good and the prices were worth it my family and I WILL BE BACK read more

We had an amazing dinner last night! The food is absolutely delicious. I don't know how they do it, but their fried food is exceptional. It's crispy and melts in your mouth. I especially loved the catfish, hush puppies, fried okra, and fried squash. The salad bar has lots of options and everything was fresh. Our server was extremely kind and even let my son help feed the fish in the aquarium. I highly recommend this restaurant and next time we are in town we will 100% go back. read more

The Fishin Hole - Seafood Near Me - Centre, Alabama

The food and the ambience was wonderful. I'd definitely visit again if I'm ever in the area

Haven't been in a long while, thought we would give them another shot. They were not very busy for a Saturday night. The server was good. The only reason why they got 3 stars is because of the way the billing is done. The server read us the total off of his machine, without giving us a copy. He printed out a receipt and we realized he had not charged us for the dessert, and let him know of the error. My husband paid and made sure to click " no tip" as we like to tip in cash. As I reviewed the final bill, a 20% tip was already added to the bill, without our permission. As I stated earlier, we had issues with this place a while before and believe in second chances. Sorry, we will not be back. I know now why they were not busy on a Saturday night. read more

This was our first time in, and I have to say we were very pleasantly surprised. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The food choices were varied, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. My father-in-law and wife got the hamburger steak with gravy, peppers, and onions. I got the crab cakes. All the sides we ordered tonight were delicious, and we especially loved the fresh salad bar with over 40 items available. If you're looking for a reasonably priced restaurant in Centre, Alabama with a great staff and ownership, we feel we can recommend the Fishin' Hole. We will be back many more times in the future! read more

This is a quaint little truck stop type diner that is vintage in many ways. Friendly wait staff, super sized salad bar, great menu offerings and very clean. At first appearances you may be tentative about going in but believe me, if you have the chance, take it. Three of us visited for dinner and each had grilled fish with various seasonings. We watched as other tables received their food and planned our orders for the next visit. Worthy of a look see if you stop for lunch or dinner in Centre, AL. read more

On a recent business trip a client recommended The Fishin' Hole to us. It did not disappoint! Many restaurants were closed since it was a Monday and we loved that this pace is open 7 days a week. Our food was absolutely delicious and service was great. Ciji was our server and she was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return. Can't wait to try their dinners. read more

Turnip greens were excellent, fries good, catfish were mushy under cooked.. Definitely disliked the non cash fee!!!!! Took so long to get food . read more

The meatloaf tasted liked canned cat food. The service was ok, but otherwise not very impressed. Maybe they were having a bad day; they caused me to have one. read more

Great food and amazing service! The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the fried pickles were good.

The food here has always been consistently good. But ever since the beginning of covid-19, the quality of the dishes seem to have gone downhill just a little. I don't know if it's a change in vendors or a change in cooks. The food is still good, of course, but I wouldn't say it's outstanding. The staff is always friendly and attentive - even when they are busy and short-staffed. read more

The service was amazing! The food was so good :) We're from Rome and we were in Alabama and decided to eat there for the first time. Did not disappoint, definitely recommend! read more

Food is always great, fresh, and very generous servings. Service is always fast and friendly!

We had three people, two got the buffet and one got the shrimp Alfredo. It was the worst food any of us had ever had. The service was fine, the waitress was nice. We were not certain that the inside was clean and the buffet was in horrible condition. They never restocked the buffet and there were only two burnt pieces of chicken when we entered and left thirty minutes later. We will never be back. read more

Ate there this evening with my family- food was fantastic and out to the table quickly. Stephanie was our server and she is hilarious and so attentive. We will be back again and again. read more

Their all you can eat catfish was some of the best I've had. I had both fried and grilled and the fillets were large. My husband had the fried and blackened and enjoyed both. It was definitely worth $13.95. You won't be sorry. read more
