We saw Trudie's while driving by and decided to try them. I am glad we did because their food was delicious. We went in between lunch and dinner time so it was quiet. The inside is spacious and although the parking in the front is just a few spots, I think there is additional parking around the back. We had chicken and waffles, fried okra, catfish and fries, and a grilled chicken salad, and butter roll for dessert. None of the food was too salty or too sweet but just right to our liking and overall, everything was very good. Our waitress was great and the service was great as well. It was a pleasure to meet the owner and hear the background story to the restaurant. My family really enjoyed the food and we will definitely go back to try the other menu items. . read more

If you have been traveling up and down Brunswick Road over the years, you know the building. This was the Brunswick General Store and had a barber shop and the Brunswick post office in the back on of the building. Times change and the building changed ownership and names. It became a couple of operations including the Brusnwick Kitchen. However, the name had was registered with the state and can no longer be used. So it is now Trudies Catfish Cabin. Oh, how I wish they made a good pizza and served beer. We really need this in the area! This isn't the first time I've been here and I'll return. However tonite, I'd like to highlight the Catfish Tacos. Three tacos for $12.99, and folks these are a better deal than many other places fish tacos. The three of them are a meal by themselves. I was with a three others tonite, and for all of us, the three tacos apiece was more than enough. For the two of us, our bill was $35.00 and consisted of two orders of fish tacos, drinks, and one order of french fries for the table. As for the Tacos: First off, these folks are using a nicely cooked catfish filet. It has only a few topping including a secret sauce that does not detract from the taste of the fish. Second off, the tacos were soft and flaky, and the server said these were made on site. Our server tonite was a young man and he was taking care of business; he would have made Quark the bar keeper proud. Lastly, this is a quiet place. The TV was on a basket ball ball game. Tonite the music was generic soft jazz. Sometimes in the afternoon its on an R&B channel for the music. The music sits in the background and doesn't interrupt conversations. The interior is softly decorated amd comfortable. There are two photos that go with this review: Front Door, Fish Tacos While this is not a five star establishment, as nothing disrupted the dinner giving a 5 star rating. read more

The staff here were very friendly and welcoming. They really had the "southern charm". I really enjoyed the catfish and broccoli. The collard greens were a bit too salty for my liking. read more

Great service and I have never had a bad meal from their catfish to their burgers, and I would recommend the salad with pulled pork, a little BBQ sauce and a healthy dose of Ranch dressing, you can't beat it. Everyone that works there are so kind and they make you feel like family. I hope you give them a try! read more

I was really craving fried catfish this Saturday so I yelped catfish near me and this place came up! We dined on a Saturday evening around 630. It's in Arlington but not too deep in Arlington and it's truly a small mom & pops place! There's only parking for like 5 cars in the front and right near the railroad tracks. When we got there, there was only 2 other guest there and There was one waitress. We didn't wait to be seated as we were told we could sit anywhere we liked. They had pandora up on one tv playing some nice jazz music and another tv with football on it (sound off). The decor was very nice! Lights coming from the ceiling and there was even a stage where it looked like they may sometimes do live music(maybe during the brunch hours). Our waitress came right over and took our drink orders, which i must say, their Arnold Palmer was very good! She was very polite and had a smile on her face! She immediately got our drinks and asked if we needed some time to look over the menu. As fellow yelpers, we had already looked at the menu and needed no time. We placed our orders: my son got the 2piece catfish and fries, husband got the catfish sandwich & added cheese with a side of okra. I ordered the large catfish plate (4pieces a of catfish) with collard greens and macaroni and cheese as my sides & a small basket of seasoned fries for my youngest one. It took about 20 mins for everything to come out. Everything down to the fries and okra was fresh and hot! The fish was fried perfectly and had a great taste! Even the collard greens and macaroni was very good! I truly enjoyed everything about this place and will def be back anytime i have that catfish craving! They do take to go orders and i believe they may even do catering! I am so glad to have stumbled across this restaurant! You all should def give it a try! read more

We just had a truly enjoyable meal at Trudie's. It is a relatively new place, having only been open a couple of months, I think. As such, they are still working out some of the kinks. We were seated for well over 5 minutes before we were waited on. Apparently there was some misunderstanding about whose section we were in. Never mind, because both of the women involved could not have been sweeter or more apologetic. And from then on out, the service was great! We came for catfish, and that's what we got! It was all delicious, but special recognition goes to the macaroni and cheese and the hush puppies! The interior looks nice and fresh, a little quirky (I'm looking at you ladies room ) but it's a great little place all around. It's 25 minutes from my house, but this is our new place to get our catfish fix. read more

Cat fish too salty. salt is Not the only to add flavor. Service excellent and very friendly We will give it time before we try again. I like the quiet ambience. read more

Food - Fried catfish is a 9/10 - it is crispy, fresh, and seasoned to perfection! Now, those sides leave a LOT to be desired...I mean greens with no pot liquor, no seasoning meat, no taste! Maybe it was an off day but my sister had white beans and they were tasteless and very bland. She said it was not even as good as hospital food. I also tried the fried okra, first time it was OK, second time fried too hard. My sisters coleslaw was so bad she sent it back for another side dish. Service - On all visits I give service a 8/10. The wait staff was accommodating but not very friendly. However, a special treat was the owner! She was walking the floor and came by to check on us. We were very transparent with her regarding the sides and she acknowledged our concerns. We really enjoyed speaking with her as she shared the history of her mother's dream. Ambiance - The restaurant is furnished with typical low cost decorations but is clean and comfortable. read more

Food was good and service was quick. Looks like a good ambiance. There were two big crowds eating inside who look like they were enjoying their food. I will try dine-in next time. Thank you! read more

Good food. Wasn't busy for lunch. Great catfish and great fresh fries as well. Definitely worth a try if you haven't yet.

To be a restaurant in today's times you have to be fairly "over" priced.. (I don't think it's over priced its fine) but you also have to have phenomenal food and service. And when I tell you the catfish and chicken tenders are some of the best I've ever had! And the ONION RINGS ARE FUNNELCAKE ONION RINGS!!!! Original as can be trudie! I was also refilled on 5 sweet teas and sometimes I wish they would take longer to refill because I don't need to drink that much! Great service but the BEST food! Hope this place keeps cooking! read more

The food is extremely overpriced The greens are out of a can, okra is prebreaded and a 2 piece fish dinner (they say it's 4 but they cut the filet down the middle) wll set you back $20. read more

This was my first time here. The food was very very good especially the catfish. A nice and quiet ambiance and the place was fairly clean. Now for the service, I forgot the name of my waiter, but he was a bit mentally challenged. His words were a bit slurred, and he gave us the wrong ticket. To make it worse the credit card machine wasn't working and he wasn't making it any better. After standing there for 45 minutes I was forced to use my cashapp account to pay and finally leave. read more

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Food and service were great. Will definitely eat there again!

everything was hot and cooked well . i love that all of there sides are made from scratch

Very good catfish, lightly breaded and not salty. Fried chicken was equally tasty. Collard greens were above average, the mashed potatoes were good, but not on par with the other selections. I will be back for sure. read more

Party of two went to Trudie's Catfish Cabin for Sunday lunch/dinner. We choose the buffet style menu. I had the green beans, sweet potatoes, cream potatoes with gravy, which was barely warm. We were told that they would bring the fish to the table and the fish was catfish nuggets. Highly disappointed in the food. Service was standard. read more

Outstanding service and food. The catfish is amazing. Will most definitely be going back soon

I'm not going to tell people not to try Trudie's but I must tell about my experience. First time eating here. We arrived at 11:20 for lunch.We ordered water with lemon. Brought water, was out of lemon (not a huge deal). Took our order for 2 chicken tender dinners, came back and apologized, said they only had burgers and fish. So we ordered a burger (definitely not worth 14$) and a fish meal. Both come with fries. Brought our food and asked if we needed anything, we asked for ketchup, they replied we are out of ketchup. It would have been nice to have been told that on the front end and offered a different side. They did apologize, but to not have any more to offer at the beginning of lunch time was not good. Also, I have worked in the food industry and an offer of a small discount or free dessert or anything would have gone a long way. Not a great first experience. read more
