Where to begin?

, I will never spend another cent at Catfish Johnny's. This past year, Catfish J's has just gone spiraling down the drain while flipping the bird to their customers with their "IDGAF" attitude. They have a special, Catfish of course, one night a week. If I remember correctly it is "All You Can Eat." However, every single time we have showed up for their special, the waitress just laughs and says "We are out of Catfish and we are not sure when we will have any back in stock.".....Are you serious!?!?!?!? That problem aside, we return almost weekly anyways. The food (particularly the gator tail) was soggy and the waitresses ignore you, except for Melissa who no longer works there. One night, my 65 year old father was sitting at the bar/dinner and his crappy chair broke. He landed straight on his back and was extremely embarrassed. A waitress came by an asked if he was ok and was worried about being sued. My dad said dont worry about it. Later on that night, he walked over to the owner, Mr. Catfish Johnny himself, and told him dont worry, im not going to sue you. He was just joking around to assure the old fart C.Johnny that everything was ok. C Johnny ignored my dad and a waitress motioned that he was hard of hearing. So, my dad leaned in a little closer and said again that he wasn't going to sue. Catfish Johnny then had the nerve to shove my dad away and yelled at him "DONT SCREAM IN MY FACE!" in front of the whole restaurant. My family will never go to the hole in the wall, that is called...

We had our first experience eating here at catfish Johnny's as we just moved into the area. We were told that this was a great local place for dinner. So we went on a date night there today to try it out. The service was good and the food was good and fresh. My taste would of wished there was a bit more spice on the food but im figuring that there were a lot of older folks eating there and probably catering more to a bland cooking approach to meet their needs. We had the fish, scallops, and butterfly shrimp which was all good. We will definitely go back and try something different. Sarah, was our waitress and was very sweet and courteous to us and all her tables she served. I was watching her interact with everyone and as a young person I was impressed and it touch our hearts to see how well she was interacting with a generation decade's older then she. During the holidays we always pick a spot to eat dinner, hopefully somewhere new to try out. as a way to give back for all of our blessings we look for that special person that stands out and we wish them Merry Christmas with a special gift from us and tonight Sarah fit the bill. We want to wish everyone at Catfish Johnny's a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And we're looking forward to coming back. Thank...

Went to go eat here after the Christmas parade, and we needed seating for 10 people and they said we needed to make reservations for anything over 6 people, they weren't real friendly about us wanting to get a table so we asked if we could eat at the tables outside they told us they don't serve people out there so it's kinda pointless to have a bunch of table and chairs outside if you can't eat at them they asked if we could separate our group we said sure just so we could get tables and then we went to sit down and they told us that we had to wait for the rest of our group to show up so we weren't even able to sit down and order our drinks while we waited for the rest of our group they wanted us to wait for the rest of the group to get there so we decided to go outside to get out of the way and we asked if our tables would be reserved for us since we had to wait outside for the rest of our group and they told us they couldn't hold them for us so we left and went to Mo's if it would let me give a zero star rating I would definitely not how you expect to be treated we were treated like a major inconvenience to them so we won't be...

Saw the good restaurant reviews and also wanted to checkout the Tap Room next door so we made the trek on a Friday evening. We knew there'd be a wait as it was a very mild winter day and everyone was out. Ninety minutes later, we were seated. Three total in our group - Two opted for the broiled platter the other for the "jumbo" fried shrimp... They were far from jumbo. I had the soup (gumbo if I recall) as a starter... I was told it was the last cup. I hope so because it was cold no one else deserves a cold cup of soup. There was nothing special at all about our dining experience and our server wasn't very attentive. We asked for two Yuengling's but were brought some watered down light beer (guessing mich ultra). We had waited long enough and were not about to send them back. We drank 'em and as you can see in the photo, mine sat empty through dinner. I was never asked if I would like another. Oh well. The Tap room had a decent variety of beers from across America. We would definitely stop in there for a pint or two next time we're in the area -- However, we'll make sure we eat somewhere else first.

Interesting establishment, we arrived on Tuesday morning to find ourselves in a line before it opened. Turns out that for a flat fee, they will feed you (limited selection) and after you eat, treat you to an ole fashion 'Country Jam' with Catfish Johnny and the Hushpuppy Band. There is a wide slice of professional and local talent that performs until 3:00PM. So if you want to hear old nostalgic country music then this is the venue for you. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and if you come you probably will too. Attached are a few photos and video's of what to expect. Enjoy.

A small town, REAL old style restaurant!! Amazing food....wonderful service...wide variety of food selections beyond just seafood...Cesar salad came with our meal...sadly they were out of baked potatoes and cheese grits in the night we went Nice selection of beer and wine too...they use the honor system if you get a cold one to enjoy if you need to wait to be seated "just tell your server" are the instructions as they hand you your cold one.... Johnny's isnt open late so plan to be there by 730pm or so as they no longer take customers at 8pm
