I have been here 8 or so times for Bingo Wednesday. I’ve had the following:
- Shrimp & Grits: really good but sometimes greasy & oily. Unfortunately, it has never been the same twice. Sometimes the shrimp is burnt, sometimes it’s not. It is a large portion which I appreciate.
- Kale Salad w/ Shrimp (not pictured): my current favorite. The dressing is very nicely evenly distributed. I really like the shaved Parmesan and flavored shrimp.
- Gumbo: I wish there was more sausage. A very, very large portion & sometimes very oily. Definitely took some home for the next day.
- Mac & Cheese (not pictured): First get it with bacon bits. Second, I have insider knowledge that if you get it to go .. it’s a larger portion than if you eat it there ????????
- Bingo: oh the lovely vibes. Some prizes include grab bag, a free shot, a free drink & a $25 gift card. I have still yet to win (even though I’ve been going for a few months). BUT it’s worth it. Also the “host” / bingo caller is all you need on a rainy day.
The staff is wonderfully friendly. I’ve only knocked a few stars because the food isn’t that consistent in taste. Really good energy & gives you a great community bar.

For the gravy, I'm coming back here for sure. I ordered jambalaya and chicken fried steak. The grits were piping hot, the gravy was excellent, and the steak was well-seasoned. The jambalya had good seasoning but could have used a little more heat (temperature). The serving size was substantial. The wait staff were exceptionally friendly. Very good all around.

Catfish is easily my favorite spot. I go almost every weekend and that is not an exaggeration. The food is phenomenal, especially the bacon jam on the breakfast sandwich, and the drinks are top tier. Added to all that, the prices are reasonable and the staff is fabulous. I've been probably about 20 times in total, and have never had a bad meal or experience. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough.

The food here was ok. We only had the shrimp basket and potato salad, the shrimp and fries were really good (shrimp a little salty) but I didn't care much for the potato salad. The drinks were good!!! I'll go back because I want to try the shrimp and grits and collard greens.
The staff there are super friendly and helpful.

What an absolutely treat of a hidden gem. That term is probably tossed around a lot but living in Long Island these days means I don't often find myself that far into Brooklyn much let alone in the hunt for food but my friend and I randomly found Catfish on google maps and figured we'd give it a try. The mood, the lighting, the service, the chefs, the food, the drinks, the prices, THE FOOD.. I could go on but it's safe to say if you like well flavored slightly spicy food for great prices and in a really relaxed setting, give this place a try. I'd absolutely go out of my way to make a visit if the time permits, it's so worth it.

Had a really great meal here. I had the crawfish etouffee, and the collard greens. There service was really friendly and quick, and always checking to see if you need anything. The etouffee, was very good, I wish the portion of rice was just a little bigger but the good was delicious. Just the right kind of spice for me. The greens were quite smokey flavored, with a hint of sweetness that I could put my finger on to what it was. I had some bread pudding for dessert and that was great also. Not overly sweet, with a nice alcohol addition to it. A great experience. Came again with the rest of the family, and still great food and service. Highly recommend.

I recently found this restaurant and have been here more than 3 times. Addiction is the word. Go on Wednesday for bingo!! A New Orleans vibe with hot sauce bottles on the back walls. The food!! I have tried and been satisfied by everything on the menu, except for everything made with pork. The corn bread, fries, steak, catfish, chicken, grits ALL made with love and flavor. Will I be back, you can believe it!!!
