About Brown's Catfish

Brown's Catfish is a restaurant known for its delicious food and excellent customer service. It provides a welcoming atmosphere that both locals and visitors enjoy. While a regular customer noted a rare instance of small and dried-out catfish and cod, the seafood is generally fresh. The restaurant's buffet offers a variety of "down-home" dishes, which many find satisfying. The baked beans, especially the barbecue beans, and warm peach cobbler are highlighted for their flavor. The staff at Brown's Catfish are recognized for remembering their frequent visitors, enhancing the welcoming feel. Some customers have mentioned that the buffet is small, but they appreciate the great choices available, including options like salad, rolls with butter, buttered corn on the cob, and soups like gumbo. The mashed potatoes with brown gravy received praise, while dishes like Cajun chicken on rice and cheesy chicken spaghetti received mixed reviews. Fried catfish and fried imported fish are favorites, though there is a sense of caution about taking too much. Desserts include cookies, monkey bread, apple pie, brownies, cinnamon rolls with glaze, vanilla ice cream, and sugar-free frozen chocolate yogurt soft serve, with many recommending to start with dessert. Although some have pointed out that prices can be higher, making it less appealing for families, the overall food quality remains impressive. Mr. Brown himself has been seen engaging with customers, creating a personal touch that stands out from corporate dining experiences. Despite occasional slow service during less busy times, the restaurant continues to earn high praise for its food and service, ensuring that customers will return.

Always the best food and service that can't be beat. Always look forward to our next visit

I love the friendliness of the owner, his wife, and all the staff. The food is delicious, especially the broccoli salad. Also, the price is fair for the amount of food you consume and the variety of food. I recommend Brown’s Catfish.

Always great service. I love that the food is fresh and that the staff is always friendly. Their cinnamon rolls are delicious!
