Had the nicest/most attentive server on Saturday with a great/peaceful view of the water. The shrimp was outta this world amazing as was the hot chicken, pulled pork and green burger! Large mason drinks were delicious as well. Food came out hot and in a timely manner. Overall 10/10.

We like to find interesting places to eat while we drive. The views and the food was worth the stop!

Pleasantly surprised by this gem on the river. Creole flavor was slightly different than what I’m used to, but in a good way. The food was excellent, and there were plenty of options to choose from. The kids loved the shrimp and we tried the gumbo and the jambalaya which were drastically different flavors, but both good. The rice was slightly overcooked and mushy though. Our service was good and the place was clean inside and out. No wait (eating lunch around 2pm) and had a great seat out in the patio.

Amazing. River view atmosphere. Great service. Extensive selection. Great bluegills and whole catfish. Fresh cut fries. I’d return.

This place is a local gem! We loved our jambalaya and spiced shrimp. Food served in a big portion and service is good. They also brew their own beer. Their cherry porter is a seasonal specialty but tastes delicious! We definitely recommend this place!

I really enjoyed eating my meal on the patio at Catfish Charlie’s. My fried shrimp was especially good and so were the three cheese smashed potatoes. The wait staff were all very friendly and our food came out faster than I expected. The restaurant and bathroom were very clean, there was no fishy smell. This is a great seafood restaurant in the area.

EXCELLENT food, however, I felt the regular mac n cheese didn’t have a lot of flavor to it. The smashed potatoes were FIRE and the blue gill. ribs and shrimp were spectacular!

I ordered grilled shrimp, when I received it, it looked like heated in a microwave. Was luke warm at best.
When waitress finally came back to check on us, I asked her to tell me what I order, she confirmed i asked for grilled shrimp. I informed her that it was not grilled and the shrimp was not very hot.
She did offer to replace my order, I said no and I would like her to at least heat up the shrimp. When she did return with my shrimp I could tell that they did put it on the grill to heat it up.
Note, we have eaten here many times and this is the first time I received a meal this poorly. Not sure I will order the shrimp again.

This restaurant is on the water near the Hilton Hotel. It is a lovely seafood spot. Luckily, I had a table outside on a Sunday afternoon. They have a bar and drink menu.
Dinner & lunch menu was full of options.
Fried seafood obviously and bbq items. Mix of sandwiches and entrees. Food was good as well as the service.
Nice patio area to view the dock. Have Window seating
