About Carmack's Fish Barn

Carmack's Fish Barn is a well-known, family-owned restaurant renowned for its exceptional service and warm southern hospitality. The menu offers generous portions at reasonable prices, featuring standout dishes such as hushpuppies, white beans, and the acclaimed fried catfish, which one customer described as the "best fried catfish I have ever had." In addition to the fried catfish, the restaurant also serves up country fried steak and a variety of sides, including slaw, okra, and fried mushrooms. While mashed potatoes are not an option, the white beans are highly recommended. Although the restaurant is located a bit off the main path, it is well worth the visit for the delicious food and charming atmosphere, which includes the opportunity to interact with friendly goats and donkeys on the premises.
