Catfish Cabin - Monroe

Food is always good and fresh and delicious and good cooking and service and friendly staff and great atmosphere

The service was good, very friendly and fast. The ice in the drinks is shaved ice perfect! The hushpuppies were good, and I don't usually like hushpuppies. However, the fish, chicken, and shrimp (boiled and fried) were blind. The fries were okay, but I thought they were thick after being assured they were very thin. The okra was unseasoned.

This was my first visit to this restaurant and I must say I was not impressed. The shrimp was overcooked and the catfish was in season and was very musky tasting. However.... The lady who was my server was attentive and helpful! When she asked why did not want to go box I was honest and told her about the food. She asked if I wanted the manager and I told her no. But when I got to the cash register they already knew and comped half the meal, apologized and asked me to please come back. I tipped my server very well. I do plan to go back because any place can have a one-off.

I got the seafood platter with refills, and everything was massive undercooked to the point of the coating sliding off the seafood as I grabbed it. I asked them to cook it much more for the 2nd plate, but it was pretty much exactly the same.

50 years in business and still delicious food, great service, and friendly folk. You can't beat their catfish. And the hushpuppies are amazing!
