I heard this place is legendary in Little Rock so I went and got why. They serve catfish and buffalo fish ribs that feel like crunchy treasures from Southern history. This diner has serious roots—civil rights leaders used to meet here, and it has that badge of honor from the James Beard people.

I had a plate of catfish hush puppies and coleslaw sat quietly and felt like I was part of something much bigger than fish and grease. Price was modest mood was deep food was memorable.

I love this place! I owned the catfish steaks. They were soft and meaty, with just the right amount of crunch. Those were the best hushpuppies I’ve ever owned. I should try to order a basket of those the next time. The fries were mushy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The hospitality was outstanding. This is my favorite location for catfishing in LR. There is nothing better. For a while.

The fish was good. They are using U.S. pond raised catfish. I had not been here in years, and now I remember why. I call ahead with my order, and it was still not ready 20 minutes later when I got there. This neighborhood icon has been there for a long time. This restaurant is a little converted house next to the freeway. The fish is always cooked to order. They will only allow ten dine-in customers at a time. I will have to come back when the dining room Is fully open and enjoy a cold beer while my order is being prepared.

I adore this location! The catfish steaks were mine. They had the ideal crunch and were meaty and soft. The greatest hushpuppies I’ve ever had were those. Next time, I should try to order a basket of those. The fries had a crispy exterior and a soft interior. The level of hospitality was amazing. My favorite spot in LR for catfishing is this one. Nothing is superior. For a period.

Possibly the best catfish in the city. It’s an intimate and friendly spot. Charmingly old school. Don’t let the exterior fool you it’s great inside. The awards pictured show I am not exaggerating! They have adapted well to the COVID precautions.

Stopped by for lunch and tried their “fish ribs”—buffalo fish battered like ribs, crunchy outside and tender inside. Staff were chill and didn’t hover, let me take my time. Street parking nearby was a bit tight, but I grabbed a spot with a short walk. Totally local‑soul food, felt grounded and genuine

I really miss the fish at Lassis In . Simple menu but so tasty. I wish Mr. Washington the best. It was a Little Rock icon to those who went there on a regular basis. I had hoped he would find someone to take over if he couldn’t continue. Tastiest fried fish in town. Haven’t found anywhere else that compares.

This place is a must if your in LR. I took my mom for lunch (to go) after her eye surgery and everything was delicious. She got a medium buffalo meal and I got half buffalo and half catfish steak. We both got okra and slaw, tomato relish and a side pickles and onion. We were too hungry to take a picture but I snapped a pic of the menu for the next time I go. ☺️

Charming place. Food was mostly good. Very limited menu, entrees are all catfish, only offer fried foods. Neither my wife nor I cared for the catfish stakes.

Small place but the food is very very good. I had memories of buffalo cat i use to get with my grandmother back in Memphis. The seasoning is just right and the fried okra was perfect. Ordered for my family as well and and all I heard was chewing and smacking . Everyone was pretty content. Service was very good too and they had polite armed security there as well. We will definitely be going back!
