The fish is OK slightly overdone for me. I ate a lot of fried fish as a kiddo. Their shrimp is good the tartar sauce could be a little better and The fries are good. The onion rings are fantastic and I love to put the hush puppies in my beans and let it soak up the bean juice that's really good :-). They have a good salad bar also. Looking for I do eat here fairly often. The biggest complaint I have though is that it says they close at nine and it seems as though we're being rushed out around eight. I cannot stand for Cleaning to be going on around me while I'm trying to eat and smelling Fabuloso. I understand sweeping and wiping tables off, but I'm talking about the kind of cleaning they do before it's time to go home.

I have to give a shout out to Rachel, at the Catfish King in Lufkin. The last time I went to this location, I had spent over $30 on a meal for my family and unfortunately my order was mistaken. When I got home, I was bummed, (this had not been the first time I was disappointed with the over the phone order service) and called up the manager and she offered me a free meal the next time I came in. Fast forward a month or so to today, I had forgotten all about this and ordered again(the food is dang good, I'll admit that). Rachel, recognized my name and order and reminded me they had a free baked fish plate waiting for me. I was really thankful and surprised she remembered the issue and took care of me. This place always has new hires that need a little extra patience, but the food is always on point! Outstanding work Rachel..your memory is impeccable and attention to detail is much appreciated!!

Updated 05-06-24 Food is always great here. Unfortunately the price has gone up over the years which limits how often I can come but Karen always provides great service and this is one of the best Catfish King restaurants I have eaten at. A+

Great catfish fried well. Great prices. French fries were good not soggy or old. Maybe a bit too many. Hush puppies were a bit strange, taste like the rest of the fried items. This restaurant as well as most others everywhere still serve ketshup with high fructose corn syrup. Come on take the leap to start changing our food for the better! Service is order at the counter. We ordered close to rush time and the food came out fast. Tables not too close to each other. No loud music or noise

The food here is good but I think it's crazy that they charge $1.75 to put Cajun seasoning on your fish instead of regular seasoning.

We had a craving for local fried fish so went to the Catfish King. I wish I'd tried it years ago. The food is tasty, very filling and the service very friendly. I chose the lunch special for $7.99 3 catfish strips, 2 hush puppies, coleslaw, home style French fries and a drink. Was more than I could eat and that rarely happens! Also, I found they have a 50% veteran discount, one per veteran. Since I and my sister are veterans we both got the discount. I would eat there regularly without a discount after trying it but with the discount will become an extreme regular! I noticed they also serve shrimp, oysters, and chicken fried steak so will have to report back after another visit!
