Mississippi Catfish: Reviews & Ratings
Great owner/chef, very nice guy. Best catfish ever....and my mother-in-law who is from Mississippi says the same!
Reopened after the bar changed hands and was renovated. Prices haven't changed and the food is still great. A true local gem.
I love the new ambience! Full bar now! It has always been great food, so the bar with beer on tap is icing on the cake!
We just went by and the bar hosting Mississippi Catfish is closed. Hopefully they will pop up again at a new location.
I stopped in a few days ago. The food was great! The staff were very professional friendly and polite. I would recommend this business to anyone who wants to enjoy some good fish and wings! I will be eating here again!
I'm going back! Shrimp poboy: Best shrimp sandwich I've ever had. I'm going back to get another one. But I don't consider it a poboy because it doesn't come on French bread, and it doesn't come dressed. Fully dressed = tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, mayonnaise, and hot sauce. I ordered it "fully dressed", and they asked if I wanted potato salad and coleslaw on it. I said no, so it was just the bread, shrimp, and I think it was tartar sauce. I was so mad when I opened it, and then I tasted it... I was so happy. I didn't get the catfish, but the shrimp was perfectly seasoned & fried, so I already know that catfish will be good. I'm going back to get some of that too. Sides: They seasoned the fries too. Perfection. The hushpuppies were good. Out here, they make hushpuppies too dry or too soggy; they usually have no taste. These were the perfect texture and taste. The potato salad is good. The Cole slaw is good. It was just all good! And I think it's run by a family, which I love to support. They were so friendly, polite, helpful, etc. They bout to be sick of me. I'm going back for EVERYTHING.
Catfish and shrimp are fried spot on! Reminds me of our family's Friday Fish Fry's! Mr. Thomas and his son are great. The make sure you have everything you need and take time to real conversation. I recommend Mississippi Catfish to all my family and friends.
Food was delish and bountiful. I think they gave us a few extra pieces. Don't let the fact that it's in a bar, fool you. The food was fresh, no old oil taste. We got a snapper and shrimp combo. The batter is flavorful. We ordered take out but it's probably crispier if you eat it right away. Hush puppies were good. We got double fries but had known they had black eyed Susans, we would have gotten those as well. It's $3 a piece for a la carte. Oh, and my favorite part.....IT'S BLACK OWNED! The bark looks like a nice neighborhood spot and since we don't live far, we will be having fish Fridays after work! There's a pool table as well. Love love love! The Hollidays will be back!
I would also like to add they are open ONLY Friday thru Sunday just like their old location in Richmond.
