Gabriel Hayes: Love the chicken fried steak
Renz Pee: The chicken fried steak was absolutely delicious. I'm not a grits person but those tasted really good but that apple pie they served for dessert was the TRUTH. I almost ordered seconds of the pie!
Michelle Roberts: Catfish's menu is very limited. The Chicken Fried Steak is pretty good(gravy is excellent) but I think everything else is just average. I like to go for drinks then go elsewhere for food.

Emily Wilson: The tomatillo guac is excellent, as are the tacos (we tried steak and chicken — both killer). Skip the beef ribs (too fatty, hard to eat). Order a tequila or mezcal based cocktail to wash it all down.
Aleksey: One of the best Mexican restaurants ever! Their food is extremely good and creative, flavors are rich (although not as spicy as in Mexico), and their service is impeccable.
Allan Lopez: Strong margs, tacos and huevos rancheros are good. Don’t get the breakfast quesadilla, it’s extremely tiny.

Sir Douglas: Get the chicken fried steak. The gravy alone is worthy of being put in a bowl by itself and served alone. Thank me later!
Neil DesPres: Get there for brunch and have some donuts!
Serious Eats: Crisp fried chicken, warm, fluffy biscuits, and tender doughnuts all at reasonable prices. Good for breakfast, too.

Gradie Oakes: Cheap margaritas, pretty good queso and an entirely serviceable chicken fried steak which can be hard to find.
Stephanie Moreno: Solid tequila and mezcal selection. Great service. For brunch, get the jalapeno grits. Solid Tex-Mex food. Cash only and, although there is an ATM on site, it is usually out of cash by Sunday.
Chris Papaleo: The salsa is drinkable.
