Shad's Catfish Hole — Restaurant in Brent

Let's start with parking, I do like to start with good things to say!!! There's plenty of parking. When you get in u may stick to the floor, but someone will get you to a table where you will hear 2 yes, 2 different 1 man bands trying to out play each other at each end of the restaurant. As you sit listening to the cat fight, you will get a bowl of beans, coleslaw, and hush puppies brought to ur table to eat while you wait for ur order to be delivered. Now I don't know if you read my husband's review (which you should) Eric Dybwad, is his name; but while you are here, please finish reading mine. Now the 3 appetizers brought out without asking, are ok, but when I order a certain dish, it is what I expect. The menu is on the wall and don't expect to be able to read it very well, because I don't believe anyone in there knows how to dust. I had to ask for the trout and the waitress told me it was up there, of course it is like dining in a noisy cave. It's not like anyone else can see it. She even went so far as to say it was GRILLED trout. I ordered the fries as my side and that was a bad choice they were grease filled and cold. I should have ordered a Coke or Pepsi to drink because they don't know how to make tea there and if you ask for a lemon they will toss it in the glass so you don't use it in your tea as u want instead of on the lip of the glass where the lemon goes. Now for the trout, oh, the GRILLED trout. Someone should have told the cook that you don't put trout in the oven to grill it. LOL. The skin would have been crispy not SLIMY if my trout had been grilled, and it would not have been soaked in a double layer of YELLOW margarine, it was seasoned in something that made it orange in color, that poor trout. I know anyone who loves cooking is angry by now, at how a restaurant could be so irresponsible with a cook . They priced the trout at 20.95 and cooked it like a fish stick!!! I chose not to complain as my husband was trying to get a good piece of fish. He was trying to get me to try a piece and I couldn't wrap my head around taking another bite it was so gross 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢. We paid, NO TIP NO RETURN, I ADVISE YOU GO ELSEWHERE FOR THE CATFISH CRAVINGS YOU MAY HAVE. There are no photos, we don't like to gross our followers out 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢. My husband took me here for my birthday dinner because I wanted to go. It was an excellent choice...

The food was absolutely amazing. Probably the best we have ever had there. However, the service was not. This was the second time that someone in our party had a drink accidentally spilled on them. The last time was my husband. This time it was me.

The problem is that the waitress carries 4 drinks to the table in her hands and tries to set the first two down. The waitress last night did this same thing and spilled a Dr. Pepper on the table and all over me. My Iphone that was sitting on the table was soaking wet, my Dooney and Bourke purse that I had just got last week for my birthday was wet on the floor from the drink pouring off the table, and one of my new shoes that I had just got as well was soaked.

I jumped up as fast as I could but I have MS and I can’t move very fast. When I jumped up, I pushed off with my left elbow and I now how a huge blood blister there because I take blood thinners for my heart condition. I had to go to the bathroom and clean up as best I could because my hands, feet and shoe were soaking wet.

My cousin paid for our meal and he was too nice to say anything and paid for the whole bill. The last time they spilled on my husband, they marked on the receipt that his meal was free. Nothing was offered last night and no one said one word about the accident after the initial cleanup.

I feel that the manager/owner should have been notified and at least come to our table to apologize but nothing was said or done. The waitress did make sure we had our food serviced but they essentially ignored the whole spill issue.

Since this has happened 2 of the last 3 times we have been there, I am not sure we...

OK, let's start with atmosphere, the floor was sticky, walls were dirty with cobwebs, and there was a thick layer of dust on the knick knacks on the walls. It was so poorly lit that you couldn't see your food, which I understand why upon receiving our food. I ordered all u can eat catfish for $16.95 and a side order of frog legs $8.00, and it came with home fries. The catfish had no seasoning and was saturated with grease, the second round which I ate because I was looking for that good bite of fish took longer than it should have to get to the table, being they only bring out 3 small pieces at a time. The 4 froglegs were sitting in a puddle of oil, and when I picked it up, the crust was so soggy it fell off, YUK. I pushed the fries away because they were just as the froglegs, soggy from being bogged down with grease. Let's finish with I paid 3.50 per glass of tea. My wife had the trout with fries. Her review is on her site under Kathryn Dybwad. Please go see 👀 what she has to say about her 20.95 plate of grilled trout and fries. I took my wife here because she wanted to go here because it was for her birthday and IT USED TO BE A GOOD PLACE TO EAT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EAT HERE UNLESS YOU EAT HERE ALL THE TIME!!!!! It is not worth the money you...
