About Pawpaw's Catfish Kitchen

Pawpaw's Catfish Kitchen is a cozy diner in Pigeon Forge, offering delicious Louisiana-inspired dishes. The menu includes the must-try catfish and shrimp combo, served with hush puppies and perfectly fried fries. Customers can also enjoy authentic Cajun options like boiled crabs, boudin balls, and alligator bites, all fresh and seasoned to perfection. The white chocolate bread pudding is a delightful way to end the meal. The friendly staff and lively atmosphere add to the overall dining experience. Pawpaw's is a gem worth visiting, even if it means a long drive, as it offers a taste of Louisiana in Pigeon Forge.

This out-of-the-way place serves excellent, home-cooked food done the right way. It's not big, so there may be a wait, but the quirky decor is in line with the Cajun seafood theme. Locals come here, so you know it's good stuff. The catfish is big, meaty, and breaded to perfection, and the red beans and rice and gumbo are fantastic. The boudin balls have great flavor. It's a great local spot away from the crowds, with very friendly service despite the lunch rush.
