Every single time we visit The Catfish Place, we are greeted promptly, sat quickly, and receive the best service and food. I'd love to tell you something they could improve in those aspects, but I just can't think of anything. Prices are very fair and the restaurant is always clean and the ambiance inviting and comfy. The old owners have retired, but the new owners haven't missed a beat. Thank you CP for always serving up a delicious meal and delivering perfect service. I also appreciate being able to pay at the table now with Apple Pay!!

Fantastic seafood local restaurant. I am living in Denver and grateful I could find such fresh seafood.

Fried Catfish Platter Review The Fried Catfish Platter from The Catfish Restaurant, paired with cheese grits, hush puppies, fried green tomatoes, and fried dill pickles, is a Southern feast that hits all the right notes. The catfish is the star of the show--fried to perfection with a crispy, golden crust and tender, flaky fish inside. The cornmeal breading is well-seasoned, adding a satisfying crunch without being overly greasy. The cheese grits are creamy and rich, with just the right amount of sharpness from the cheese, making them a perfect sidekick to the catfish. The hush puppies are a delight--slightly sweet, with a moist interior and a crunchy exterior, a comforting classic done right. The fried green tomatoes are a revelation: tangy, crisp, and flavorful, with a light coating that allows the tomatoes to shine. Meanwhile, the fried dill pickles offer a briny, tangy burst of flavor, balanced by their crispy coating. The house-made ranch ties it all together. It's thick, herby, and fresh, ideal for dipping everything from the pickles to the hush puppies. This platter is an indulgent celebration of Southern comfort food. Each bite brings a perfect blend of texture and flavor, leaving you full but tempted to order more. The service was also exceptional our waitress was attentive and on point every time

We have been going to the Catfish Place for several years. My mom really loves it and we were concerned it would change a lot with the new owners but the they have continued to do a good job. We went tonight and were satisfied. The food quality was consistent, good and of the standard we were used to. Our server was friendly and took good care of us. If you love catfish keep coming out to this local gem of a restaurant in St. Cloud. The prices have increased but every restaurant has increased so they are on par with others in the area. Support local owner run places for the variety they provide.

Been considering stopping here for years. A little conflicted, fried pickles and fried green tomatoes very good, catfish was cooked very well and pretty tasty, although I prefer a bit more seasoning and spice. The Cole slaw was good, my wife loved it. The fried shrimp may have been overcooked and no seasoning, the chicken tenders where nicely cooked very tender, however no flavor. The staff and service was excellent, the treated me like a regular who had been coming for years. All and all I would recommend two off dishes isn't enough to say that this was a bad experience since there was so much more that was good, plus my personal preference for seasoning isn't enough to not recommend, so if your out on 192 and in St Cloud stop on by.

THE BEST CHEESE GRITS BY FAR!!!! It has been years since I stepped to this place. It has been remodeled nicely. No more bear head sitting on top of you while eating LOL The remodeled area has more seating and has more country modern feel. I am unsure if new management or owners stepped in but it def has a new feel to it. Same southern hospitality friendly personalities and the server I had was kind. So the menu here is MOSTLY fried. a small section is broiled and boiled seafood options. They serve I hear good alligator bites here and they also serve turtle. The gumbo and cheesy grits along with the key lime pie stood out for me. The sweet tea here is served in a pitcher once you request a refill. Saves you from calling a server for drink refills. Let's talk about the food. Usually I order a platter of fried shrimp etc. Today new year means kinda healthy kick.... LOL The GUMBO - It was a soup chowder like filled with rice sausage shrimp okra tomato based broth chunky soup and it was filling. A little bit spicy but my first time eating gumbo so it was nothing for me to compare it to. I will order it again. Wished the bowl was bigger! It was delicious. Cheesy Grits - THE BEST GRITS BY FAR! I have had my share of grits and this one here is the best! Creamy and rich and cheesy. I could eat a whole small pot of this! I left this place after dining in thinking about these grits! DEF order this and add a fried fish or shrimps to it! Key lime pie - This is not house made per server but its a popular dessert from them. It was served with whip cream. The pie is sweet and tangy but for me it had more sweet notes. I could not finish it all and took the rest home. Its a smooth pie and tasty. I would def come back here again especially for the cheese grits!
