Catfish King reminds me of the small fish eateries found along Houston and Galveston. Nothing fancy about the decor but great tasting food. Catfish, chicken tenders and even country chicken fried steak. We enjoy meeting up here with friends. Every player is full of plenty of food. You won't leave here hungry.

Yes I was at David beards on Friday the 12th of April, spent $45 for three meals one meal was three piece chicken, the second meal was supposed to be a five piece fish and more, which we didn't end up with and the fish was way too overcooked was dry very dry thank you
My food was missing items the lady that took my order can't take the order right so someone else took the order ? I didn't not go back because people were eating food so could not take it back ? 40 dollars

We have eaten here quite a bit in the past. Last few times appears dirty and tables not clean. today the young black man/boy that took our order and brought our food had a really bad attitude. After he’d bring people their food , he’d pickup their number go to the counter (by register) and literally throw it to the counter. Also, was slamming his hand down on counter. Our food was barely warm, which for fish is unacceptable. Really disappointing!
I'll start with that I have been biased in favor of Catfish King for years and have historically loved the food. This has been a staple for my parents, my family, and me for decades now when making trips throughout Texas (especially this location on the way to Dallas). I once again was excited about making a detour to hit this location on New Year's Day. I hit some traffic, but I made it to the location just in time before they closed. I got to the drive thru to order, and an employee came on and said, 'we're closed'. I was quite confused and told him that it was still a couple minutes before they closed per the sign posted. He told me, 'no, we are closed and the fryers are off.' Seriously? If you are going to stop serving customers before closing time, then what is the point of a closing time? The customer service was very poor, and I have a totally different view of this location despite happy memories as a child stretching back decades. At minimum, the employee could have apologized and offered to sell whatever food was already made (not necessitating the fryer being started up again). I'm super disappointed, and it looks like I'll never have a need to stop in Waco again. This location does not value their customers and needs education in service delivery.

I ordered the popcorn shrimp with beans and hush puppies. My food was heaping over the plate. Best of all, everything was piping hot!The restaurant itself was busy, but it is so quiet, any little noise makes everyone stop and look around.Just play a little music and the excellent food, great price and portions will set it all off.Great job, I will definitely be back.Parking: We went right at lunch hour and we had absolutely no problem parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of space to take a wheelchair inside and navigate around the other tables.
