The Catfish house has to be one of my favs. I passed through Millbrook on a rode trip and found this gem on a night out looking for dinner. Everything was PERFECT! I had to invite some buddies back with me. The service was outstanding and the hostess remembered me. They posted their praise all over FB. That's my spot now!
A solid country cooking experience. Excellent hush puppies. Also, the set up each table gets is as good as granny's
Service was excellent, food was delicious and pricing in line with other seafood restaurants and the atmosphere very friendly. Highly recommended
Food was amazing. Being seated was longer than usual a, but overall a good experience
I finally made it to the great state of Alabama and was fortunate to find Catfish House through Yelp. It's a short drive out of town next to a pond. There was so much great tasting food and sweet tea. I was on my own this trip, and everyone made me feel at ease eating alone. Overall, very happy with my choice tonight.
The food was delicious! We had the crab claws, and the fried shrimp and catfish combo. The beans, hush puppies, and coleslaw was amazing. Pleasantly surprised and satisfied!
We went on a Friday night and hit it just right, 6pm And we had a 15 minute wait that turned out to be just 10 minutes. The wait did increase to 25-30 minutes while we were standing there, so we got in right before the crowd arrived. But even after the crowd showed up they turned over tables quickly. When you sit down they bring out beans, hush puppies and coleslaw. The coleslaw was not as sweet as I like but I grabbed a packet of sugar and fixed it right up. The hush puppies were great and my wife enjoyed the beans, I'm not a bean person. I ordered the senior catfish fillet dinner with fries and my wife ordered the whole catfish dinner with baked potato. It was all delicious and the whole catfish might have been a bit more tender than the fillets but watch out for bones in the whole. Sweet tea was great and the restaurant is decorated with all kinds of metal signs and antiques. Also our server, Jessica, was awesome! She was always checking on us, attentive and very friendly. Great catfish place! Enjoy!!!
My family ate at the Catfish House 30 years ago and last week was our first time back in that period of time primarily because one can get good catfish in lots of places and we often like a drink with our meal which the Catfish House does not provide. However, with the Fantail full, we drove down to the Catfish House. The restaurant and decor is perfect for the fare. We arrived a little past 7 and were immediately seated. The wait staff was "average" in its attendance. After ordering, we were promply served slaw, white beans, and hushpuppies. I could just eat the slaw and beans and go home they are so good, but I find the hush puppies too sweet. We all had the fish and found it a bit greasy. The baked potato side dish was as expected. Overall, this is a good place to eat but interestingly the worst part of the meal was the fish and hushpuppies. I will try something else next time or just quit after the slaw and beans.
We drove an hour and a half because we heard about a catfish house in Millbrook, AL. Turns out it's called The Catfish House and it is WONDERFUL! The catfish was seasoned lightly, fried and was done. The set-up comes with the meal and we took half the hush puppies home.
What a great evening! I visited here with some coworkers on a Wednesday evening. Even on a week day evening, be ready to wait for a table as this place is very popular in the community. Once seated, we were very quickly greeted for drinks, which came out right around the same time as plates of hushpuppies, coleslaw, and southern beans were placed on the table. These come complimentary with the meal, and honestly, I could've made a meal out of these sides. While the beans were not my favorite (they were too smokey/meaty in flavor for my preference), the hush puppies and coleslaw were to die for. For my main meal, I got the senior version of the fried catfish fillets. This dish only comes with two fried fillets rather than three, and a smaller side of fries. After my appetizers, this was the perfect size for me. The fries are not anything special, but they come out just as hot as the fish. My fillets were wonderful. The breading was great, it was hot, and the fish was perfectly cooked. I can see why this place is so popular. From the great home cooking to the friendly staff, it is the perfect stop for a family supper!
