Catfish King Restaurant

Loved this place. Everyone was super sweet and the dining area is super clean and quaint. I highly recommend you stop here! Great lunch for $ 9. 5 pieces of catfish, 3 hush puppies, all the pinto beans you can eat and a salad bar with a lot of stuff to select from. And if you are a ranch dressing fan; theirs kicks a@@. :). And if you like fried pickles I cannot say I’ve ever had any better.

I was in McLeod, near Atlanta, Texas, a couple weeks ago with a friend. On our way home we stopped by Catfish King Restaurant for dinner.
This place is great! Their salad bar is awesome! Be sure to grab yourself a plate while you’re there.
I had the chicken fried chicken and tried a bit of the catfish as well. Everything was absolutely delicious. Most surprising is how the food, even though deep fried, wasn’t greasy at all. There’s a lot of love that goes into preparing the meals here and if I’m ever in the area again I’ll be sure to stop by on my way home.
The service was great. Typical southern hospitality.
Restaurant was spotless. Bathrooms were clean.
Thank you Catfish King for a great meal at the end of a very long day.

EAT HERE!
Don’t underestimate this super ‘AMUUURICA’ mom-​n-​pop senior-​only looking place. Sweet tea = yum. Fried food = double yum. NOT greasy and did not upset this cleansed healthy vegetarian’s stomach!!!
Definitely try the King Sampler. Fried pickles — BEST I’ve had! And I’ve had many many many bar fried pickles. These are different: cut very thin, you still taste the pickle flavor, little batter. Most places over-​batter their thickly sliced pickles. Here they nailed fried pickle perfection!
Onion rings also purdy darn good and mozzarella sticks are def NOT out of frozen package.
Salad bar has most delicious potato salad. Also pickled beets and decent Mac and ranch type of salad.
Mom had fried catfish, which she said was good, but a little dry. Baked potato is nice and big. Brother had baked fish and butterfly shrimp, he liked it.
Did I mention nothing was greasy?!
Our stomachs are happy hours later.
Do not fear, come on in here.
You will not be shot if you’re different :-P

Walked into this place minus the stares and whispers from other guest, this establishment was very delightful. I was actually surprised on the flavoring with the batter and the perfectly cooked fish. This place screamed MERICA I will be coming back. #SSO approved #OAF

Place was busy, busy… usually a good sign. Had a slight wait for a party of 8, but not too long.
I ordered sweat tea and Regular Cajun Catfish (4 filets lightly spicy). It came with fries, hush puppies, and unlimited salad bar.
Salad was good.
Tea was average.
Catfish and fries were EXCELLENT.
Hush puppies were different, but okay.
Service was friendly, but due to traffic flow, harried and unintentionally inattentive.
Would definitely go back (if I don’t get sick like the other diner).
