“Great recipe. Super small chicken cuts. I understand inflation. Legs are like chicken drumets. Just charge more. Looks like Qual but super great Chicken! Perfectly cooked
Ok so just remember when you order . The online prices 30% less than what you pay. The owner could take an hour on Google and change the pricing! Great chicken deceptive pricing easy to fix.

I'm a Chef for 45 years. I love these mom and pop companies. I love the no frills same interior for decades. The wooden window from the kitchen like trap door. I would love to meet the owner. This place would crush KFC. It could gross millions in franchisee. Maybe the owner doesn't want to . But the history is worth mollions“

“We’ve had such good meals here, the jambalaya, gumbo, mac and cheese bites are to die for, the biscuits are delicious, the sides are all super fresh, like the asparagus, and done perfectly, the rice and beans casserole actually has nice surprise meat in it too, we’ve not had the dishes others are complaining about but we can say all the dishes we’ve had have been amazing. So disappointed to read some of these reviews, that’s not been our experience. We really hope they make it because the menu is not your usual salmon chicken steak fare, like most places, it’s special. That’s our opinion!“

“These guys are THE BEST. Not only is the food just as amazing as it’s always been (I’ve been a semi-regular for nearly 25 years), but the staff and management are top notch. Recently my best friend passed and his brother knew he loved Catfish Dewey’s, so he wanted to have a dinner there with local friends, neighbors, and colleagues. I went in and spoke to Joe, the manager. He assured they’d make it happen and they did so, flawlessly and with great attention to detail. They managed a party of nearly 48 people in addition to their regular clientele, even bringing in extra staff to help with the event. These folks went out of their way to make sure this special event went flawlessly and it did. The waitresses, whose names I cannot remember (I told you I wouldn’t…sorry! Ha!) were amazing. Food runners, on point. Bartenders, outstanding. Management, excellent. There’s a lot of love and care in this establishment and it should be celebrated. There’s not enough of that these days. Support local businesses who care, especially those with GREAT food AND great people like Catfish Deweys.“
