Lassis Inn Reviews
The best fried buffalo ribs on the planet!!
I heard this place is legendary in Little Rock so I went and got why. They serve catfish and buffalo fish ribs that feel like crunchy treasures from Southern history. This diner has serious roots—civil rights leaders used to meet here, and it has that badge of honor from the James Beard people.
I had a plate of catfish hush puppies and coleslaw sat quietly and felt like I was part of something much bigger than fish and grease. Price was modest mood was deep food was memorable.
I love this place! I owned the catfish steaks. They were soft and meaty, with just the right amount of crunch. Those were the best hushpuppies I've ever owned. I should try to order a basket of those the next time. The fries were mushy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The hospitality was outstanding. This is my favorite location for catfishing in LR. There is nothing better. For a while.

Friendly and courteous employees serve exceptional catfish, okra, and those highly praised hushpuppies, which many customers consider the best they have ever tasted. The restaurant also offers cold beer and features a lively blues jukebox. Although the neighborhood may be sketchy, the charm and atmosphere of Lassis Inn make it a standout. This diner has serious roots—civil rights leaders have met here, and it proudly holds a James Beard award. With memorable meals like catfish steaks and buffalo fish ribs, Lassis Inn is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to enjoy a taste of Southern history in Little Rock.
