First time to eat here! Service was outstanding. Food ( ribeye) was perfect!! Wife had kabobs and loved it. Large serving with a very reasonable price. Owner even stop to check in on us . They also wished me a happy birthday. Highly recommend this restaurant. Back again and still one of the best places to eat!!!
This restaurant has become my cousin & I favorite spot to eat at whenever we come to town for the Dangerfield Reunion. It's our annual tradition. We get the all you can eat catfish dinner and it's always a hit. They even allow us to bring our own loaf of white bread in with us so we can make fish sandwiches. The service is always friendly. Check them out next time you're in Paris, Tx.
I've only eaten here once but I must say it is really great fish to be so far inland. The fish was seemingly fresh. I even ordered oysters on the half shell, and they were the freshest I've had anywhere this far from the coast. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I give it 5 out of 5 stars!
If you’re anywhere near the Paris area and want catfish this is the place to go. Been going here since the ‘80s and have never been disappointed. The fish is fresh and hot, never greasy, the slaw is excellent, hush puppies are very good, and tomato relish is the best I’ve had. Service has always been polite and prompt without the feeling you’re under surveillance.
If you don't ask for the boiled shrimp to be served hot, it would likely be 5 stars, but they were hard as the dickens to peel and bland - no seasoning, so I knocked off a star for that. The fried fish, hushpuppies, fries, and slaw were all good. We first found this place 9 years ago and were super excited to be driving through the area again so we could dine in. My husband is obsessed with the hushpuppies - they are long, skinny, and not greasy at all! We'll visit again next time we find ourselves close by and recommend others to try it too.
The best fried catfish you might ever have. The coleslaw is really good. They also serve a great ribeye really just about everything on the menu is great but you just can’t beat. Their fish. Service is always been on point.
