Thee Southern Fish House — Restaurant in Grand Prairie

I had the fried catfish 4 piece with green beans, corn fritters(about 12), and cole slaw(the plates come with two sides). Portions were enough for me and my 12 year old to enjoy together and get full, Fighting off the itis(food coma) as I write - the brother knows what he's doing. Price was reasonable, along the lines of Catfish Connection, Catfish King.

The catfish is actual catfish(not swai) from a Mississippi catfish farm. Cornmeal breading hits just right - you don't have to saw the fish, and it's not drowned in grease or salt. Ketchup, tartar, hot sauce given, but the taste "stands" on its own. Fish is clean, meaty, and boneless(you can get bone in steaks too) with a tender chew to it. The corn fritters melt in your mouth, and the green beans are on point as well. Not too salty, not too peppered. Other baskets like pork chops and links, frozen drinks and desserts also offered, but I didn't have the time to go in on those.

There are a few two seater tables to dine in at, but I wouldn't. Your view is Highway 161 and a gas station. You came here for the food. The sleep started hitting me halfway into the meal, here at my house. Pick up your food, take it home, fall asleep properly....

After being a repeat customer, and also wanting and craving some good Southern Fried Pan-Trout on my Birthday, I decided to go the well reputed, " Thee Southern Fish House." When I walked in the establishment, I was not greeted by anyone for almost 4 minutes. When I was finally acknowledged, I noticed that the price for quantity of the fish was different. Also, the price was almost doubled from my last visit. So that raised a red flag. So, I told the guy never mind sir. The guy then says that he is the new owner, and the restaurant is under new management. When I turned to walk away, he then rudely says, " That's why the old owner isn't in business now because they were giving way too much food" Insinuating that the previous owners gave away too much food for a cheap price. I felt that was a very rude thing to tell a potential customer, and also defamation of the previous owner's characters and business capabilities. I would not recommend going back to this place, especially with the rudeness...

I called my order in and went to pick it up. I got there and the cashier lady said that her card machine was down. Disappointed, I went and got cash. Came back and picked up my order, and something told me to check it. I checked it and they only gave me one fillet and 4 shrimp. They were rude and So unprofessional and when I called them all they said is “they said the 2 pieces are in there.” That is a lie, if one of you ate my fish (apparently y’all did) just say that. All y’all should be ashamed. I will not be returning. Incompetent, and unprofessional. they didn’t really care that their card machine was down, the male from the back kind of just laughed at me and went on about his business when telling me I needed to pay in cash. I mean laughed. What kinda of business are y’all running? And who is allowing y’all to run it like that? No apology, only free kool aid to rectify it after I came back with cash. Shame on y’all (because it would be rude to...
