My favorite catfish in Abilene. Two of us knew the place and two of us had never eaten there. I was so glad the two first timers enjoyed their meals because we had really hyped it up. Lol. They seated us at 8:30 pm even though they close at 9. They reassured us multiple times that they were happy to serve us. They were extremely fun and friendly.
There was a party of 10 of us that had a birthday party today and the food was great and our server was fantastic. Her name was Abby. I’m thinking the boss should give her a big raise. She is a fantastic person. She waited on us with the most smiles and cut up with us the whole time we were there. Merry Christmas to everyone at catfish corner and thank you so much today and merry Christmas to you Abby
Catfish Corner is an absolute must-try! The catfish is perfectly seasoned and cooked to golden perfection every time. Their sides are just as amazing—everything tastes homemade and full of flavor. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it a great spot for a delicious, satisfying meal. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall great experience. If you’re a fan of Southern comfort food, you won’t be disappointed!
I got my order to go because it was pouring rain and getting worse. It was still warm and delicious when we got home with lots of tartar sauce, sauce, and butter and sour cream for our potatoes.
The food was just ...ok, but cold waitress was nice but must've been really busy in the back. Atmosphere was cool and everyone was friendly. Probably the last time eating here. Used to be good don't know what's happening. Maybe time to update the menu just saying maybe just a pinch of flavoring too.
It was great. Went with some family in town. And the server was really great. She made the experience so much better. The food was great. One person had an issue with their food and they corrected it right away. Great great customer service. Everyone enjoyed their food. Definitely will be returning customers.
Stopped by on our way to Austin. We shared the Seafood platter- crab cake- blackened catfish and 3 jumbo shrimp. We also ordered a small order of onion rings which were the BOMB. Food was really good and Heather took great care of us. Would definitely return.
Waitress was outstanding friendly and cheerful. The food was great.very short waiting time for a Friday night.
