Hidden Creek Catfish — Restaurant in Arkansas

Went a little over a week ago for my mom's birthday on a Sunday after church. They allowed us to sit in a room where we could all be seated together. The buffet had catfish fillets, Cajun fillets, catfish steaks, frog legs, shrimp, fried chicken in a few different cuts ( wings, dummies, strips, whole pieces, etc. ) crawfish. The crawfish was seasoned extremely well. Now the only reason why I'm giving it a 4 star in food is because everything except maybe 4 hot side items were fried. Don't get me wrong, they were all good. It would have just been nice to have a baked or grilled meat item. The sides also included fried green tomatoes, corn nuggets, fried mushrooms, fried okra, french fries, etc. the only hot non fried items were corn on the cob, greens, baked beans, Mac and cheese, and broccoli. You still had your usual slaws, potato salad, green tomatoes, onion, etc. On the cold side. Now let's get to the dessert. I was told to try the cherry cobbler if I ever visited this place but got here and they had a blackberry cobbler in its place. It was 10/10. They also had banana pudding which to my surprise was very good, peach cobbler and pecan cobbler. Now the pecan cobbler needed a little help. It was very watery and runny and the dough wasn't done but the flavor was definitely there in the filling. The service was top tier. To be a buffet our drinks stayed full, our empty plates stayed clear, great conversation with the staff without being over bearing. So in conclusion, if you want good fish and food, great service, love fried food, in kid friendly/family atmosphere, this is the...

I spotted this little place on the map and decided to check it out for dinner. It's basically a buffet of fried foods with some sides thrown in. We're talking fried catfish filets and steaks, chicken tenders, frog legs, shrimp, fries, green beans, hush puppies and mushrooms & okra (I think). The sides consisted of mac-n-cheese, greens, cob corn, baked beans, etc. They also had some crawfish and cold peel-n-eat shrimps. Desserts on offer were 2 different cobblers, some soft serve and a couple other things. The standouts for me were the tenders and the fried shrimp. The tenders were huge and the breading was perfectly seasoned. The mac was just so-so. Everything else I tried was pretty good. The soft serve was the custard-type with a slight yellow color instead of white and I loved it. The place overall was clean and the servers do a great job. I probably won't visit too much mainly because it's really out of the way from my neighborhood and it's a bit pricey. But 1 suggestion I'll make is I really wished they had some country gravy to go with those tenders. They're great by themselves but that gravy would kick them up to elite status. Just a thought. Btw, they could also use some sort of lighting in the parking lot cuz it's pitch black out...

Couldn’t wait to try this establishment. We did so and had a truly horrific experience! We were told “you’re gonna hafta leave” while pointing at a perfectly behaved, immaculate, vested service dog. Manager apologized, but it was a terribly uncomfortable meal. Food was very poor for the exorbitant price. Nothing was labeled for those with a shellfish allergy (person eating with me has a severe shellfish allergy) which is a good way for them to get sued and is coincidentally against health code (coming from someone who ran a bar and restaurant for many years). The cherry on top was that we came for the drawing offered that weekend and literally watched (the same employee who tried to throw us out) offer the patrons prior to and after us to enter drawing at check out. We were discriminated against in more ways than one! I hope Conway will not support a discriminatory...
