My friend brought me to her local comfort food take out spot and we were greeted by the friendly owner who immediately offered us a sample of the corn meal coated catfish with tartar, and it was really very delicious. We ordered a full meal of a pound of catfish, some hush puppies and fries, and some lobster Mac and cheese. He was very helpful offering up his best menu items and supplying plenty of consents and gave us several discounts and made us feel like we got special treatment. The fish and fries were good and the hush puppies and cornbread were tasty, although the Mac and cheese was not our favourite this time. The takeout was also open quite late, 2:30am he said, so it was really nice to be able to get a great late night nosh

I didn’t even want to give a 1 star. This food I had today 8/25/21 was so horrible for the amount of money I paid. The catfish was not seasoned and it was hard around the edges, the French fries were not seasoned and soggy and some were hard. I can make better macaroni out the box than what I had and they said that was lobster macaroni but I beg to differ. They had no potato salad or red beans and rice and I’m glad I didn’t get it because that was probably nasty too

This place has the best catfish, and he served okra as well. We are from Spokane Wa and there is no where to get some home cooking catfish. It was so yummy. I would drive the 300 miles to get some of that catfish. It. a must try if your craving some catfish.If your in Seattle Wa he hiring

Do not waste your time,went to Skyway for take -out order on August 13th 2021, Some kind of Dry fish that was maybe Catfish, No rice in the Red Beans and rice, NO hush puppies(this being at 4:00 in afternoon) said they were OUT ! NO Collard Greens that are clearly shown on-line menu, but to our dismay, NOPE on the in-store Menu. Okra that was supposed to be Deep-fried, had a sprinkling of corn meal on it. Yup ya fooled me once with your sub-standard performance, BUT , I can Guarantee your will never get another cent of my Money ! ! !

I was expecting more flavorful catfish but the greens were good the cornbread is more like corn cake. The hush puppies were OK. They may forget some items so be sure to check. Staff was polite.

I remember coming here some time ago and was disappointed in the quality that the original Catfish corner(Cherry & MLK to the new folks) established. Same exact issue happened to Ezels when they sold there business and franchised it. At the very least, the orginal Ezels(23rd & Jefferson) still has a similar taste before the franchised it out. The problem with selling your vision is that the buyer will change your vision and both restaurants reflect it. I gave it three for they at least kept the original name... ?

The worst seafood ever! We placed an online order when visiting the area. I ordered catfish and my husband ordered the shrimp. Our GrubHub driver contacted us to let us know that they were out of catfish so I ordered the shrimp as well. The shrimp was way overcooked and very tough. The french fries were commercial frozen french fries, not freshly prepared. And the very tiny packets of tarter sauce were watery and had little taste. Because we had been traveling all day and hadn't eaten, we ate the food anyway. Stay away from this place!
After going several times and the restaurant was closed, we finally caught it open. This was our first and last time going there. The fish lacked flavor, freshness, and it was over cooked. The cornbread muffins was extremely hard, dry, and chewy. How do you make cornbread chewy? I am very disappointed because I have heard so many good things about this place. The customer service was amazing, but I didn't pay to eat the customer service. I just moved here from Texas and I was really looking forward to some southern style fish. I’ll have to keep looking.

50$ online order placed on the 6th of July. When we arrived to pick it up at 8pm, they were closed with a sign in the window that said, "closed 'till later". Well, they've been closed till later since the 6th. They have stopped responding to our requests for a refund for food we never got. I am about to go down there and take pictures of the empty store during business hours, and post them online. If my hard earned money still hasn't been refunded, I'll be contacting the BBB to file a formal complaint and let them know your not in operation, but you're still taking people's money. *pictures taken at 1245pm on a Thursday, right after they posted a flyer on fb saying they'll be open, with specials. THERE IS NO ONE THERE

Ordered Catfish nuggets, the lobster Mac and cheese, and a side of hush puppies. The food was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The best catfish I’ve had since leaving the Southeast.

I know this place is know for its fried food, but catfish corner express may honestly have the best raw seafood you can buy in Seattle... especially at these prices. And this stuff is FRESHHHHH I watched these guys bring everything inEverything is locally sourced and if you don't believe it the owner will enthusiastically show you video proving it lolWould not have expected the best quality/deals on seafood in Seattle to be down in Renton but very happy to have found this gem !!BTW the crab legs are unreal do yo self a favor

I wish I could tell you if the food is good or not...after placing my order and paying the bill I waited for an hour and watched what I guessed were employees (perhaps friends of employees too?) drift in and out of the kitchen, restaurant, parking lot. They conversed with each other...made calls, stared at phones....while I waited and waited. All the while someone (a manager perhaps?) asked no less than 6 times what my order was. I finally realized the no one was ever going to actually prepare my order and I left with the kids hungry in the car.Don't make the mistake of trying to eat here.
