Food quality has changed recently and the last time we went a few weeks ago, it had no flavor. They also got multiple orders wrong and had run out of basic items. Also, food didn't even come out for the group at once, it was like a dish every 5-10 mins

I didn’t think it was that wonderful with previous owners, but the new owners have made it 10x worse. Cajun fish was small and had no flavor whatsoever. French fries were just frozen with no salt or seasoning. Beans tasted like they were from a can with no seasoning at all. Chicken fried chicken used to be hand breaded and is now just a frozen patty. Cole slaw was meh. We won’t be back anytime soon.

I ordered the popcorn Shrimp dinner and was so disappointed. I am accustomed to getting lightly battered delicious shrimp. These were hard and had no flavor. The hush puppies were also not good. Wasted my money on this meal. I do not plan to go back to this location.

Fish was great. I went to drive thru. Ask for extra tater sauce. I got no tater sauce. Had to go back in and get it.

I go here at least once a week to get the fish and shrimp basket. It is around 15.00. definitely worth the price. The food is always hot and freshly cooked and the service is fast and friendly. Drive thru is always moving at a decent pace. 10/10 recommend.

No coleslaw, beans, tomato relish, or onion included with the overpriced catfish plates anymore. The drive through menu looks like it is written on toilet paper. No wonder the parking lot is always empty. Unfortunately they will be closed like all the others very soon.

This is no longer a restaurant with servers, it's all self service. The food is fair, but they were out of many things.

So we were just passing thru Atlanta tx. at 7:30pm on a Friday night which is 1 hour from our home and rarely do we pass thru here anymore. Sadly we don't have Catfish king in or around Longview tx anymore. They close at 8pm or in 30 minutes so that's kind of a thing to avoid in my rule book but we stopped anyways. The workers were very helpful and friendly. My wife and I both got 7 piece (regular not spicy) fried Catfish plates comes with 2 sides (we had fries & coleslaw) $16 each and an order of excellent onion rings. The picture I posted is the fish leftovers. As you can see the filets are big and they were prepared perfect. Nothing fancy just good ol Catfish in cornmeal batter. The way its supposed to be in my opinion. It was all excellent!

For those who are familiar with
David Beards Catfish king restaurants.

They do not have a salad bar.

They do not have an all you can eat buffet.

They do not have David's hush puppies or I didn't see them
if they do but
The ones they have are excellent and
They don't have jalapeno in them so
the wife was happy

They do have free beans.

I seen complaints
about the buildings appearance
needing updated
But for those who don't know
The rustic log cabin look of the restaurant inside and out was their thing 40 years ago (just like it's cracker barrels thing is now) so it's not a lack of updating or not putting money back into the business it's by design.

The restaurant was very clean including the rest rooms.

So with that being said
Did we just catch them on a good night?

I don't know but I doubt it.

Will we be back absolutely!
