Catfish Connection is a beloved eatery in Dallas, known for its delicious fried catfish that evokes nostalgic flavors of home-cooked meals. Customers praise the restaurant's commitment to using fresh filet and the option to make the catfish spicy, which adds to its popularity. Despite the occasional wait for takeout, many return regularly, some for over 40 years, because of the consistent quality and friendly service. The fish cakes meal, served with fries, bread, jalapenos, pickles, and a flavorful sauce, is a must-try, offering outstanding value and service. The mixed catfish strips are crispy and delicious, even after a 30-minute drive, and the crab cakes are perfectly seasoned, with suggestions that they taste even better on a toasted bun with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The restaurant's simple yet satisfying ambiance and focus on quality ingredients have made it a beloved local institution. Customers also enjoy the moist and divine Peach Cobbler cake bowl, describing it as a standout dessert. Whether for a quick takeout or a leisurely meal, Catfish Connection remains the go-to destination for authentic, mouthwatering fried catfish in the Oak Cliff neighborhood.
