It's been a year since I had their catfish dinner. I already grade them 5 stars from the past and now.....they improved their hushpuppies!!!! I give them 6 stars is possible!

The best in the Shoals

Enjoyed our late lunch today. Catfish was perfectly fried, tasty onion rings and the best slaw. Our server was pleasant and kept a good eye on us.

In my humbled opinion, Mewbern's has the best Catfish Fillet's in Northwest Alabama. They have other items, such as hamburger's, chicken tender's, just to name a couple. But, the #1 seller, is definitely, the Catfish Fillet's.

So, if you're in the mood for food item's listed above, then go check out Mewbern's Restaurant, and I believe you will not be disappointed.

Good catfish place. I got a large catfish plate and barely finished it all.

This place has been around since I was a little kid. It can't get any better than what it is...except if they brought back the whole catfish dinners. Man...there may not have been as much meat on the whole fish as the filets, but it certainly had more flavor. Newbern's is a resturant that I hope will forever be a staple of the small town of Florence, AL.

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.

Lucky are the eaters who come through the doors of Newbern’s! Grab your own seat inside this roadside eatery, and have a taste of some classic Southern staples. Their famous pond fed catfish dominates the menu. Everything is fried, yet never greasy, with the catfish being crisply coated with a flakey interior, and none of the fishlike flavour of your typical river fish. A medium plate offers three catfish fillets, a side of your choosing, hushpuppies, and slaw. Wash it all down with your choice of sweet or unsweetened tea, of course. The service is charmingly friendly, and the restaurant is efficiently family run. It’s bustling yet still casual, and as Southern as you can get! Whether you’re driving south on HWY 72, or just visiting, don’t skip out on this gem.

Vegetarian options: The menu is heavily centred around fish, and features other things such as chicken fingers and hamburger. The main vegetarian options would be the appetizers and a few sandwiches such as a grilled cheese or the fries, baked potatoes, and slaw.
