I visited catfish village last year for the first time in years and it was delicious!! The food was hot, tasty and satisfying!! The only thing that I was puzzled about, they give you your sides in small dipping sauce containers. And It was like a teaser🤤. But, I was able to get more when asked. The waitress was really sweet and gracious. Loved my experience!! Would definitely come back!!!! The atmosphere so nostalgic and had a calming country feel. Not to mention that lakeside view breathtaking. It was a pleasure to get away the city and enjoy that southern country hospitality!!!

We recently visited Catfish Village with a massive group—about 12 tables worth of friends and family—to celebrate a birthday. Coordinating a party that size is no small feat, but the staff handled it impressively well. The Experience * Service: The servers were standout. Despite our group's size, they remained friendly and attentive throughout the entire meal, making sure everyone was taken care of. * Menu: Because of our party size, we worked off a limited menu. While it simplified the ordering process, it still offered plenty of flavor. * Value: One of the best parts of this spot is the cost. The prices are incredibly affordable, especially considering the portion sizes. The Food The catfish itself was seasoned perfectly. One thing to note is that the fish filets are shaped more like tenders than traditional flat filets. However, don't let the shape fool you—the meal is extremely filling, and we all left satisfied. Summary If you’re looking for a budget-friendly spot that can handle a crowd without sacrificing hospitality or flavor, Catfish Village is a great choice. It’s a solid 4-star experience!

Everything was absolutely amazing! Had dinner tonight for my dad’s birthday. Our server was so attentive and super sweet! Thank you Kid and Tracy!! Keep up the great work! 💙
Would not recommend having any event here. My mom booked three month in advance for my sister in laws baby shower, and talked over the phone confirming details about the event twice. Went today to set up at the agreed time, only for them to say they didn't have the reservation. After my mom spent over 20 minutes arguing and showing the email they finally let us set up, which we then had to rush to do. Then during the event the staff kept hovering obviously seeming to rush us to bring the event to an end due to another reservation. All guest payed for their own ticket, and despite that no one was told that 20% gratuity was automatically added, which wouldn't be a big deal if they would of informed everyone. So when we went to checkout they flipped the screen requesting tip, despite already taking one out. So for me and my husband we tipped a extra $13 on top of the almost $10 tip they had already took out, which we wouldn't of done if we knew. I didn't notice till after I looked at my receipt in the car, and my mom's husband did the same thing.Mind you the whole party was less than 20 people.

Taste of fish was not normal. I eat catfish often and the texture of their fish was different. when you break it open it’s not layered like normal. Questionable to me what kind of fish they really are. Not going back.

Right off I20 West, delicious fresh fried catfish in a restaurant with a beautiful lake view, hush puppies that you want to keep eating.

For Itisso
Overall, it is a great atmosphere. I love the deck around it with the view of the lake. Very scenic. However the food was just ok. I truly enjoyed the oysters and the fish but it was not at all to the level of satisfaction I expected or anticipated. There was an undisclosed upcharge for the baked potato fixings. But otherwise it was a nice outing.

Not the same food that I use to eat after visiting bass pro or bossier city. Will not be revisiting.no salad bar. No green tomatoes. No onions. Waitress did not ask if we needed refills.brought us a wrong order of fish. Kid size coleslaw your spoon or fork will not go in. Had to hunt down waitress. They were not busy know I know why.
Unfortunately this is not the place it used to be. If you’re looking for even half way decent catfish and shrimp, this isn’t even that. I’d recommend a drive-thru before this place- you’ll likely get better food and service and that’s saying a lot. Years ago it was amazing. It’s gone to trash now. Won’t ever be returning

0 stars - NEVER GOING AGAIN! Def not the place it used to be!! The food was horrible, fish disgusting, the fried shrimp was bottom of the barrel tasting and the kids grilled chicken was burnt and the server was not helpful and messed up the order. To top it off, the cashier was rude by hollering at my daughter and three kids thinking they were skipping out on the bill when my husband was handling it!! Will NEVER go again!
