Whatever it was, it was not catfish. I ordered the special catch. Fish was dry and tasteless. Slaw soggy...not crisp and fresh. The beans were well seasoned, but watery and the 2 hushpuppies were dry and didnt have much flavor. My plate was covered with old tasting overcooked probably leftover fries. The entire place needs a good cleaning. Such a shame! I remember the Catfish King in Denton which was always good. This was first and last visit to the Waco establishment.

Catfish was not fresh. Very dried out, cooked well in advance. Frying up tons of that in advance is not the way to do it.

Nice place to eat. Only problem- they got my order wrong! I ordered senior Catfish dinner and ended up gettin g shrimp dinner instead. The boy that brought out our order didnt seem to care that he gave me the wrong meal. He just sat it down and walked away! Even though we nothing told him the order was wrong!

This was the filthiest place we ve ever been in. As we walked to the cashier to order, the windowsills were dirty but didn t think much of it. Ordered and got seated and the floor was sticky and the table was wet and sticky. Went to wash my hands and the light colored sinks were coated in grey scum. I used a paper and wiped the sink bowl once and left a clean streak in the sink. The bathroom floors were filthy. The food was not good either and none of us finished our meal. There was a very loud male yelling in the kitchen. Not a good visit and won t be going back.

The fish and the service at the Waco store is always good and that is one reason we pick up two 16oz fish only through the drive through every week. I do have one complaint. The Waco store changed to a traditional style hush puppy a while back and we LOVED IT. The original hush puppies had little to no flavor and were always a bit mushy. The round hush puppies were much more tasty and a lot more flavorful. The crispier texture of the pup was very much more appealing as well. As such, we would add two dozen to our fish order. ( I like cold fish & cold hush puppies as a mid night snack ) Then all of a sudden, they went back to the original style. First: Why did you change from the original? Second: Why did you change back? Third: Why not offer both? I will keep buying the fish, but as long as you only off the tubular and tasteless hush puppy, I will let the corn dodgers lay.

**Catfish King: A Hearty Meal with Ample Portions** Catfish King offers a truly generous dining experience, with massive portions that will surely satisfy even the hungriest diners. I recently tried the Cajun catfish and was impressed by the colossal plate of food that arrived at my table. The catfish itself was expertly fried, with a crispy exterior and tender interior. The Cajun seasoning added a subtle kick, enhancing the natural flavor of the fish. However, it could have benefited from a slightly more intense seasoning to truly elevate the taste. Despite the mild flavor, the sheer volume of food made up for any lack of intensity. The catfish was accompanied by a staggering array of sides, including coleslaw, fries, hush puppies, and beans. Each side was well-prepared and complemented the main dish nicely. Overall, Catfish King is a great option for those seeking a hearty and affordable meal. With ample portions, a wide selection of sides, and efficient service, its a perfect choice for casual dining. While the Cajun catfish could use a bit more flavor, the overall experience is recommended.

Catfish King reminds me of the small fish eateries found along Houston and Galveston. Nothing fancy about the decor but great tasting food. Catfish, chicken tenders and even country chicken fried steak. We enjoy meeting up here with friends. Every player is full of plenty of food. You wont leave here hungry.

Ill start with that I have been biased in favor of Catfish King for years and have historically loved the food. This has been a staple for my parents, my family, and me for decades now when making trips throughout Texas (especially this location on the way to Dallas). I once again was excited about making a detour to hit this location on New Years Day. I hit some traffic, but I made it to the location just in time before they closed. I got to the drive thru to order, and an employee came on and said, were closed. I was quite confused and told him that it was still a couple minutes before they closed per the sign posted. He told me, no, we are closed and the fryers are off. Seriously? If you are going to stop serving customers before closing time, then what is the point of a closing time? The customer service was very poor, and I have a totally different view of this location despite happy memories as a child stretching back decades. At minimum, the employee could have apologized and offered to sell whatever food was already made (not necessitating the fryer being started up again). Im super disappointed, and it looks like Ill never have a need to stop in Waco again. This location does not value their customers and needs education in service delivery.

I ordered the popcorn shrimp with beans and hush puppies. My food was heaping over the plate. Best of all, everything was piping hot! The restaurant itself was busy, but it is so quiet, any little noise makes everyone stop and look around. Just play a little music and the excellent food, great price and portions will set it all off. Great job, I will definitely be back. Parking: We went right at lunch hour and we had absolutely no problem parking. Wheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of space to take a wheelchair inside and navigate around the other tables.

The young man that worked the counter walked by us without acknowledging us. He mumbled when he spoke when he finally took our orders. No courtesy about him. When he brought out our food he was making noises like a 3 year old playing with a toy truck. He continued to make this noise as he waited on other customers. The food was edible except for the hush puppies which were nearly burnt. I brought my mom here because she used to come in all the time years ago and she was disappointed to say the least. I doubt that shell want to come back and I know I definitely will not come back. Overall the place was very unwelcoming.

Got there at 6:45pm. Condiments were already taken up. Food arrived in like 2 minutes then tea was taken up & put in pitchers . One had a napkin on handle. Found out it was the sweet. Fish was dry . Not recently cooked. In the past we have really enjoyed the food there but these last two times the fish was not good Not fresh Very hard and dried out. Very disappointed now I m not sure if we want to go back or not because two times in a row it s been bad and we re afraid that the Third time and after won t be any better

Great food, but they have a propaganda cable news channel blaring in there 24/7, and nobody wants to listen to ANY cable news channel while theyre trying to enjoy a meal. It just ruins the atmosphere of the place. If theyd put on something normal, like old Gunsmoke reruns or something, it would gain another star. Parking: Google maps takes you to the back of the restaurant, not the actual parking lot/entrance.

No music playing just news channel , shrimp & the fountain drinks are the only thing worth coming for . THE FISH IS DRY WITH NO SEASONING AT ALL. the beans and rice also lacked flavor I give it a 2/10 will not return and we got two plates that came to $34.00 . All the hot sauce in the world couldn t save my plate .

This is our favorite place to eat catfish. We come from East Texas which is where Catfish King originated, so we were super happy when we moved to Waco and found one here. I will say that the staff seems to not be happy that theyre there. Also, when you look them up online, it says they close at 5 on Saturdays, which is incorrect. So somebody needs to update the times on maps and Google. But we will always come back because we love this yummy clean catfish.

The catfish was unimpressive and lacking the proper seasoning. It tasted boring and flat. I was very disappointed considering how talked up this place was by my coworkers. Their tastebuds must be non-existent because the catfish was just blah. My fries were not hot or crispy and the hush puppies were a zero. Bad restaurants like this one are upcharging its customers and producing low quality food. Thats not cool if they want repeat business. Would I recommend this place? No.

This has always been one of my favorite places to eat, so for my birthday I decided to drive 60 miles to Waco and eat at Catfish King. Big disappointment I ordered the catfish and oysters. The oysters were cut in half and over fried. They were like little rubber balls. My fish was cold. My baked potato was excellent. Hot and fresh unlike my food. I was super disappointed with my lunch and we ate there during the Sunday lunch run so you would expect for the fish to be hot. Not sure if I will go back or not.

I felt like we got a really good value for our money. We had a kids meal and a family meal (3 people). The fish and chicken were very good, and we all left full. The sides were good (slaw and beans), and the hush puppies were great! Decor was a bit dated, but it fit the nautical theme. Overall, it was a relaxed place to have a meal, and I would eat there again next time were in town.

The catfish is smaller than my fingers. Save your money and go to Shaans where the fish is actually recognizable as a fish and not a tadpole

To be Honest Cat Fish was terrible. Cat fish is not fresh but frozen then thawed and cooked. The Cat fish was thin and dry and had no taste, cole slaw was too chopped and dry. We are new to Waco and are looking for a good Cat Fish place. We will continue to look.

Good value for seniors but really dismal food. The coleslaw was sweet(?). All tables were taken, and when I suggested they open the back room, they told me to just stand and wait. Eventually, they had to open it. Vegetarian options: None except fries, hushpuppies, and sides. The pinto beans have lots of bacon. Wheelchair accessibility: Some. Many seniors with walkers.

Dont expect anything overly spectacular with the food. Its enjoyable if youre a regular here. But as someone that comes relatively rarely, its okay at best. The tenders can be slightly hard/overcooked at times. Same with the catfish being a little dry sometimes. The coleslaw can be watered down a little as well. The beans, fries, and hush puppies are generally fine. Im used to it because my family and I have been coming here off and on for well over a decade. Maybe my expectations are a little high though.

Good and properly cooked fish and onion rings. Quiet , wood paneled dining area. Polite staff, mostly from University Highschool. Menu is about all catfish with sides. Prices are about the same as McDonalds, but much better food.

Always get the catfish and shrimp combination dinner. At least for me this is a comfort meal. Its not the best food in the world, but certainly not bad. It just makes me feel better every time I eat it. Getting fries, hush puppies, tomato relish, and pinto beans is such a deal.

Not many options that are not fried and will not allow substitutions even if you are willing to pay more.

Love Catfish King. Cajun fish with good hush puppies, fries, Cole slaw, red beans and rice, and tomato relish for a good price. Not crowded and good service. Amen!
