We ordered the buffet menu. They were good food. I tried each menu and the worker is so nice. My husband agreed the food is very good.

I ordered the catfish fillet plate, fries and mac and cheese. The fish was the only thing decent although I didn’t try the coleslaw (I don’t eat it). I ordered online and it was ready in 10 minutes although I asked for the fish to be fried hard. Online I couldn’t tell that the meal came with fries so I ordered an additional order. The fries were very hard and dry, the hush puppies were old and hard, and mac and cheese wasn’t good. The fish was the only thing I ate. I received a notification of an up charge later because I wanted my fish fried hard. People rave about this place so I decided to try it. I was disappointed. They put the condiments and silverware all in the plate smh

The catfish dinners we ordered for dine in were cooked and tasted great including the slaw, fries and hushpuppies, and competitively priced! Our 1st time dining here, and I am really sad to say we probably will not return. There is a true saying, that if the front of the restaurant is filthy and unsanitary, then the kitchen that you can't see is probably worse. The place is run down with lots of areas that probably have not been cleaned in years, like the AC vents and peeling paint in many places, and a coke box that is inundated with mold and the glass on it had thousands of finger prints. Front door as well. You have a great customer base, that deserves better, as all it takes is some attention to detail, that apparently only customers can see.

Not my first catfish. I got the whole fried catfish with onion rings and mac and cheese. At other places the sides are ok representations of what they're supposed to be, but that's not the case at Merl's. The mac and cheese and onion rings were great! The hush puppies were fantastic! But the star was the catfish. It was out of this world. You'll be hard pressed to find better.

When i tried to call my order in they wouldn't answer the phone. I called over 4 times and I gave up and took my business somewhere else.

The food is good, the service is equally impressive. You get your order in a timely fashion. It is always hot. The Atmosphere is down home eclectic, nothing fancy; however it's neat and clean.
All my visits, with the exception of one, was enjoyable. I do plan to return, because of the quick and convenient service.

I ordered the catfish filet with a baked potato and coleslaw,I called for take out and asked the young lady if she had fresh baked potatoes ,if not I will get fries ,she assured me I would get a fresh potato, I should have looked at it before I left,it was a dark brown all the way through and the foil it was wrapped in was black,it had been in the oven all day,that potato was ruined,I guess she forgot to make sure I get a fresh potato,I can't believe they would even serve that potato,much less try to.pass it off as fresh ,I didn't have any potatoes so I cooked some fries to go with my take out that was nearly $20

We used to order from Merl's regularly when we lived in West Point. Great salads, great wings and juicy burgers. They have the best wings in the valley area.
