First of all I’d like to say I’ve been going here for over 30 years and have sent many there for years and it saddens me to say this !!!! We had reservations for a party of 25 made weeks In advance . When we got there they acted surprised then tried to spilt our party across the room from each other . The catfish seamed like it was microwaved and was way too thin, absolutely horrible! The bbq shrimp was ok but not the same as it was ! The gumbo was horrible, nothing but okra and crab shells , the roux was not good ! We were warned a week before we went about this but thought maybe they just had a bad day . Nobody of our group of 25 liked it . Our car club will be seeking somewhere else . I dam shame because I could t tell you how manny times I’ve been there , over 100 times . Something changed all though I noticed it seamed to all be tourist eating there so I imagine this post want make a difference

I have always loved Middendorf. Today was my husband’s birthday & we drove from Baton Rouge to celebrate. I was really disappointed & have never been disappointed before. Our favorite is the thin fried catfish but this is the first time it had a strong fishy taste. At first I thought it might be just one piece but it was every piece. Where ever you purchased them go back to your old supplier.

Worse gumbo ever. Looked like motor oil and horrible! Shrimp were still transparent. Apparently I can’t post a picture.

Busy busy because the food is good. I prefer the thick catfish. The banana bread pudding was better than I expected and the sauce was amazing. Great place for trainiacs. The tressel offers a great photo op.

Thin catfish. Enough said. They've been doing it right since 1934. I drove 80 miles, because it's worth it. Love the food, love the look. Nice atmosphere, great view of the lake. The cole slaw is probably the best I've had in years.

Staff were amazing. Turtle Soup was good and thin crusted catfish. Menu is a hit n miss.

What can be said? It feels like it belongs in WDW. The restaurant is decorated in a beautiful swamp fantasy. The tables and paneling is beautiful cypress. The thin and crispy catfish deserve their reputation and the fried Gulf shrimp were perfect. I also recommend the fried green tomatoes.

Not a big seafood guy, only.like shrimp, crab, and lobster so grain of salt me. Fries were good enough, fried shrimp were flavorless but otherwise fried well. I did not like the catfish much and could only eat 2 bites maybe just got a bad batch. They do not season anything, though they do equip you with Tony's and other sauces it's never as good as when it's cooked with the food. Staff were chill fr and I didn't complain because I'm such a picky baby and I recognize it, but they probably would have comped the meal as I didn't finish more than half of it. Super nice team here props to management and staff. Atmosphere was chill, nothing too great but certainly nothing bad. If you come here I hope you enjoy it more than me.

Excellent food, staff, venue, and location. Seafood, breading, and frying perfectly done with clean finish. Turtle soup savory and wonderful with small splash of sherry. Kids loved the frog legs, which were well prepared and came out great. Homemade ice cream was a great finish to the meal. During cool months, they even open up one side to the water for open dining.
Location is very easy to access with plenty of room if you're towing something. There are plenty of fun areas around the restaurant to play at and explore. Very clean facilities.

The broiled flounder was incredible. I always treat myself to it. I wish I had known about the peach ice cream. It's always a treat to pull into that parking lot.
