I only do the 30 piece as take out from the drive thru window. Taste hasn't changed, but over the past several months the pieces have gotten smaller and smaller. Not much fish there anymore. Mostly cornmeal crust.
The food is beyond amazing. The catfish, hushpuppies, shrimp, and tomato relish are the best you can find in NWA. not to mention the staff is beyond hospitable. They are so kind and patient. I took my family there while they were visiting as one of the favorite spots in town. An amazing family atmosphere. I recommend them to anyone and everyone for their great food and great service!
Stopped at this locally owned establishment for tasty fresh catfish breaded in cornmeal and fried Southern style. Served with fries, coleslaw, fried okra, pinto beans and some other options. No frills but friendly helpful folks. Give it a try for basic but hot fresh catfish.

Catfish John's excels in all aspects, especially with their mouth-watering chicken strips and French fries. This family-style restaurant offers a sweet southern down-home vibe and has kid options available. Their fish dishes, including catfish and butterfly shrimp, are breaded the right way and cooked to perfection, although some seasoning adjustments are suggested. The hush puppies are a highlight, described as delish and reminiscent of homemade treats. Customers highly recommend trying their delicious coconut cream pie for dessert. While the food is praised, there have been mixed reviews regarding service, with some guests noting delays in attention from staff.
