The Pond serves the best catfish (fried, grilled, baked, or blackened) you can eat! Our fixin’s are world class. We serve all the white beans and hush puppies you can eat with every meal. Our southern hospitality style service with a smile is second to none. We also have mayonnaise slaw, vinegar slaw, Icelandic cod fish, frog legs, shrimp, chicken and more that are just as famous as our fish dinners and excellent service!

Always great food, service and a clean environment! The fried catfish is clean tasting and fried just right, the white beans are really good, I went for seconds. The coleslaw is yummy and the hushpuppies won’t let you down! Never had a bad meal here! My bday was yesterday but they were closed. We were there tonight though!

First, the service was top notch, the waitress was absolutely amazing, present, and attentive. The food was very good. And you get a lot of it. Everything wqs delicious except the steak my date ordered. He said it was prepared very well with great seasoning & cooked exactly as he ordered, but said the cut of meat was lower quality. Their coleslaw, black beans, and collard greens were amazing. The hush puppies were good, nothing to rave about but tasty and not overdone.

We had a group of 13 roll in here to have a late lunch. Friendly service and clean facilities. The free hush puppies were amazing as a start. I had the 2 entries sampler, catfish and frog legs with fries. Everything was very good. Several tried the frog legs and we all agreed they where the best. I would definitely suggest a stop by if you are coming through.

Me and my wife came here to eat a couple weeks ago. The food was really good. We got fried catfish. The hush puppies were just about the best we ever had. The beans were good with the red sauce on the table. Our waiter (Colby) did a great job. We didn’t have to ask for anything. The one star review is for the older woman with black hair (owner I think). RUDE. We won’t be coming back if she thinks this is how you treat people. Ruined it for us. My wife said same thing.

Absolutely fantastic. Grilled chicken sandwich was amazing and grilled cod was so delicious! Perfectly cooked. The best hush puppies and coleslaw. The white beans too! I loved it.

Server was great. Food was ok, not the best and definitely not the worst. The hostess, owner whatever they were, didn’t exactly offer a warm greeting or was pleasant when we left. It was if they were bothered by us being there. I would say they could care less about this review or if we ever came back but no worries, you never need to worry about that. McDonald’s down the road would have a better atmosphere then this place.

What an awesome place. Great food AND they give you plenty to eat. Our waitress was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The all you can eat beans and hush puppies were so good. And the fish was wonderful! If you like blackened fish theirs is the best! We will be back!

The food was fresh, and large portions. Their potato wedges are MASSIVE! Our server was very sweet and prompt. The price on the menu wasn’t the price at the register, however, they did have a large sign at the door stating they were in the process of having to increase and adjust pricing. All in all it was a great experience!

We’ve been coming here since I went to school at Murray State University back in the late 80s and early 90s. It used to be called Sue and Charlie’s back then. Over the years it’s been called Willow Pond and now finally The Pond. The one thing that has not changed is the quality of the food and great service. Their fried catfish filets are incredible. I also love their hushpuppies, onion rings and fried pickle chips. Inside still looks the same over all the years, but it’s always been an enjoyable place to eat for our entire family. Highly recommended. Enjoy!
