We recently visited Catfish Village with a massive group—about 12 tables worth of friends and family—to celebrate a birthday. Coordinating a party that size is no small feat, but the staff handled it impressively well.
The Experience
* Service: The servers were standout. Despite our group’s size, they remained friendly and attentive throughout the entire meal, making sure everyone was taken care of.
* Menu: Because of our party size, we worked off a limited menu. While it simplified the ordering process, it still offered plenty of flavor.
* Value: One of the best parts of this spot is the cost. The prices are incredibly affordable, especially considering the portion sizes.
The Food
The catfish itself was seasoned perfectly. One thing to note is that the fish filets are shaped more like tenders than traditional flat filets. However, don’t let the shape fool you—the meal is extremely filling, and we all left satisfied.
Summary
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly spot that can handle a crowd without sacrificing hospitality or flavor, Catfish Village is a great choice. It’s a solid 4-star experience!

Just had a wonderful catfish dinner here. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. I really liked the way they do the fries (and normally I don’t eat fries). The hush puppies, slaw and beans were all good. We ordered some fried green tomatoes and they were excellent. We received great service from Sarah. And I would give this place a big .

Overall, it is a great atmosphere. I love the deck around it with the view of the lake. Very scenic. However the food was just ok. I truly enjoyed the oysters and the fish but it was not at all to the level of satisfaction I expected or anticipated. There was an undisclosed upcharge for the baked potato fixings. But otherwise it was a nice outing.

I visited catfish village last year for the first time in years and it was delicious!! The food was hot, tasty and satisfying!! The only thing that I was puzzled about, they give you your sides in small dipping sauce containers. And It was like a teaser . But, I was able to get more when asked. The waitress was really sweet and gracious. Loved my experience!! Would definitely come back!!!! The atmosphere so nostalgic and had a calming country feel. Not to mention that lakeside view breathtaking. It was a pleasure to get away the city and enjoy that southern country hospitality!!!

First time here figured we would stop cause we like unique places like this. The decor was great, the food wasn’t bad my only issue was the fish and shrimp was overcooked but tasted great. But loved the beans, fried mushrooms but the ranch tasted different. One note our waitress seemed like the only one waiting tables she did great considering she was the only one taking orders and bringing out food. Definitely worth a stop….

We’ve always enjoyed dining here. It’s been about a year or so since we’ve been here so we decided to have dinner here tonight. We should’ve went to McDonald’s (and we hate McDonalds). The food & service lacked tremendously! It wasn’t busy or crowded so we are unsure why we never received the marinara sauce for our hard & cold cheese sticks (they literally looked like the ones you buy and cook at home), our fish & fries was cold we had to request hot fries, my husband fish tasted like the cooked waste the salt in the batter. My mom ordered chicken fried chicken, she was asked what type gravy however didn’t receive any potatoes (given fries, apparently mashed potatoes are extra, so we ordered her some only to learn they were instant potatoes with no butter or seasoning). The tartar sauce was Kraft. The savings grace was the sweet tea & lemonade which was amazing along with the beans & slaw. Needless to say this was most likely our last visit. I wonder if management has changed, this placed used to be packed and had some really good food! The salad bar is even no longer there. Yup it was a waste of $98 but even though our food and service sucked we still left a tip, it’s the holidays.

Amberlee absolutely made our visit! She kept our drinks filled, checked on us a bunch, and had the best attitude. She was awesome with my kid and even brought extra fries when they were bickering—without us asking. Catfish Village in Waskom reminded me of the one on Highway 155. Great food, even better service!

Wow! What great friendly service!! The cheesestick appetizer was great for the start of our meal. The grilled chicken was cooked to perfection! Try the homemade creamy Italian dressing on your salad…..and don’t forget the desert of fried pies!! Thank you catfish village of Waskom for providing a delicious meal!

Unfortunately this is not the place it used to be. If you’re looking for even half way decent catfish and shrimp, this isn’t even that. I’d recommend a drive-thru before this place- you’ll likely get better food and service and that’s saying a lot. Years ago it was amazing. It’s gone to trash now. Won’t ever be returning
