Only reason I dont give this place a 5 is because the fries arent crispy enough for me. (TIP)Soak in cold water after cutting to take starch out and theyll fry up crispier! Still doesn't stop my weekly commute from tyler to get some catfish palace. P.s. their hushpuppies are made with real

Great catfish, fries, hush puppies, and we also had a stuffed baked potato with Brisket. We also tried the Gumbo, only $3.99, everything was awesome. Best fish and value in Athens.

Good food, large servings, great value. Family friendly Christian business. Service was excellent, very friendly.Parking: Bit quirky, driveways on two streets if full/blocked. Worth finding a spot.Wheelchair accessibility: Open floorplan, many tables. I don't recall any problems with main door or dining entrance. Can't speak to the restrooms though.
We ate lunch there today; the food was great! The catfish and shrimp were lightly breaded with cornmeal, more fish than breading. Huge baked potato! Yolanda, the owner waited on us, as they had a server call in. Good service. We will be back!

Food was excellent! Had the 4 piece catfish and clam strips for appetizer. Will be mailing this a frequent stop for the family!! Only had one waitress for a Sat. Night but she was moving and gave excellent service. Place could need a few updates, but we come for the food.... And the food did not disappoint, if anything it exceeded!!
Food is very good, hot and fresh! For the price, the portions are good. The entire staff was so nice, attentive and welcoming. The restaurant is clean, has a cozy home like feel.

This place is delicious. We came with friends because they had been before and it was a great experience.The wait staff are amazing and the owner is so nice. He was in the kitchen cooking but came out and checked on everyone and thanked us for stopping in. This place is a jewel. Best seafood I have had in years. Recommend to anyone that loves seafood and the price is such a great deal. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.
