Hubby and I drove here from Irving on Saturday. We get there and they’re closed at 3 pm. Update hours on google please

They need a sign that says “Open when we FEEL like it”. Place is a joke. They are never open regardless of what their hours say on their sign or on Google. Third time coming here and they are closed on a Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 pm! I will not ever waste gas on this place again. Customer Service is severely lacking at this establishment. Not even sure how they keep the doors open. I don’t care how good the fish is. I’d rather just pay more and go to catfish smith. At least their guaranteed to be open during the hours they have posted smh..

Most underrated fish in Dallas great taste

Mr Stanley has been serving South Dallas Oak Cliff for a while with his flare in cooking and his own way with the baker's dozen method. The atmosphere is like old Louisiana with a little Cajun music ? in the background.

Some of the best catfish I’ve ever had! Great guy also!

I’d been craving catfish for 2 weeks. Checked reviews in search of some good fish. Based on the establishment’s great ratings thought I’d give it a shot. I placed my order by phone and hurried there for pick up. Let me first say the gentleman was very kind. On this I agree with other’s assessments. Sadly, it was not a good experience. First off, the surroundings was quite scary. I am a Dallas native—grew up in Oak Cliff, so I’m not being a snob here. Just never knew much about this area. Since he had been nice and had cooked the food, I couldn’t find it in me to abort mission and I always try to give the benefit of doubt. But inside was worse still. There was even a large bowl of what looked like oatmeal or something that had been eaten at breakfast right by the little pick up window—with the spoon still in it. The kitchen area beyond the window had stuff just thrown around everywhere. I proceeded anyway because again he was so sweet, even said i threw some extra in there for you. All the way home I was battling whether to eat this food. I was at least going to check it thoroughly. The bag was full of cut pieces of fish. I tested one piece and as suspected from looking at it, it was not Catfish. Many businesses are passing Swai off as catfish because they do look similar. The fries were pretty much grease when i squeezed one. The “tarter sauce” was just mayo with sugar in it—no pickles or onion or nothin’ chile. I don’t eat it but had to prove my eye test right with this too. Praying all goes well with my stomach even after the little test bites. I did pray over it. My appetite was pretty much shot after the whole thing. $15.75 worth of food in the garbage and my husband had to eat something else, but just looking at it as a small donation. Hate writing this, but I feel people should be aware, if you’ve not been to this place, and are considering it based on all of the reviews AND you’re looking for “real” catfish, sanitary conditions and a safe environment. I had to factor in the cleanliness factor, or lack thereof, in my 3 rating on service. The gentleman had good customer service.

Do yourself a favor and go see Mr. Stanley. The fish is SO DELICIOUS! Now, don’t be turned off by the building or location. His hospitality is top tier and the food is very good. I’ll be back!

Love me some Stanley's. Been going for 6 yrs every since I moved Dallas. He is so sweet and nice. Don't let the outside of the business fool you. Nothing but goodness inside.

Based upon presentation walking in, you might think man I am not going to trust these guys to work on my car. But every one was extremely nice, and welcoming. The value was spectacular, and completely forgiving of the initial impression. The food, most importantly the fish was very tasty, well breaded. I easily ate more than I planned.
