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...
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.
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.
