Catfish Palace - Athens (TX)

5 /5 Bearded Jimi: I walked in, unknowingly, right at closing. I turned to leave, and the nice lady asked me if I would like an order to go. She saved me from motel Ramen. And the food was great. The shrimp were tasty. The chicken was moist. I may go back tomorrow.

5 /5 Stan McCurley: Man this place was really good. I knew the owners were fairly new from the last time I had eaten here. Stacy was a great waitress. They had hush puppies the size of baseballs! Everything was perfectly cooked. Best fried catfish you will find.

3 /5 Jim P: I was super excited about this visit. Not what I was hoping for. The service was good. If youre going to eat here, stay with the fish. I tried the all-you-can-eat. The catfish was ok. It should have been outstanding. The chicken was tender; but, dry and lacking in flavor. The shrimp was chewy. The sides were good. My 1st basket was the last, and I couldnt eat the shrimp. The facilities are aged and in need of a good cleaning. Ill try a different restaurant on my next trip to Athens.

5 /5 Emily Rhodes: First place we went to after moving to Athens. Everything is great! From the down home atmosphere, to our hard working waitress, Stacy, to the perfectly seasoned catfish. We always leave full, happy and satisfied. One of those places you always take family and friends when they visit.

4 /5 Marx Madison: Overall the meal was great. I had the seafood platter. Fish and shrimp were great. The crab was good but a little small. Hush puppies definitely a HIT! I also tried the gumbo but it doesnt stand up to New Orleans style. Would love to see whole catfish added to the menu!
