My all time favorite place for delicious catfish! I've been dining here for the last 20 years; more so when I lived in Killen. I just WISH they would still do the whole catfish instead of only the filets. Breaking off the fins and eating them along the way is such a missed experience.
Best catfish filets ever ! Slaw and hush puppies are delicious along with the baked potato . One of my favorites !
We were passing through Florence on our way back to Mississippi and stopped there to eat. Nice family atmosphere and very clean. We ordered the two piece catfish plate and had enough left for fish sandwiches the next day. The food was awesome! Catfish was crispy on the outside and flaky inside. The hush puppies were light and crispy. The slaw was the best ever. Delicious well prepared meal. We hope to visit again.

Newbern's Restaurant continues to be a beloved dining destination in the small town of Florence, AL, offering top-notch food and service. The menu is dominated by the famous pond-fed catfish, which is crisply coated and features a flaky interior with a distinct flavor. Customers can enjoy a medium plate of three catfish fillets, a side of their choosing, hushpuppies, and slaw, accompanied by sweet or unsweetened tea. While the ambiance could use some updating, the charmingly friendly service and homemade, scrumptious dishes like catfish and French fries with a golden crisp make it a highly recommended dining spot. Newbern's is a bustling yet casual roadside eatery, efficiently family-run and as Southern as one can get. Vegetarian options are limited, focusing mostly on appetizers, chicken fingers, and a few sandwiches. Whether driving south on HWY 72 or just visiting, this restaurant is a gem not to be missed, with customers praising the outstanding catfish, improved hushpuppies, and top-notch service.
