Excellent food, service, and prices.
It had been a couple of years since we had eaten here and decided to give this restaurant another try as we had not been impressed before.

Ordered 2 3-piece catfish dinners (10/2/2025) to go. Got home and both dinners tasted "fishy". Couldn't eat the whole meal. After taste last for a while.

Better luck next time I guess.

The Catfish Cafe offers a variety of fish dishes, including salmon and catfish. Many customers have praised the delicious food, especially highlighting the catfish, which one visitor called probably the best they’ve ever had. The cafe is known for its clean environment and friendly, attentive service. The Caesar salad is reported to be large, and the menu features a nice variety of food options. Some customers have experienced issues like burnt-tasting fish, but overall, the food and service are well received, and visitors appreciate the reasonable prices. The cafe's atmosphere is surprisingly pleasant, especially considering it is attached to a gas station, and many customers say they would return if they are passing through Buffalo again.
