I swear these have to be paid reviews because this place was a joke. It’s called catfish king and they served me pencil thin pieces of “catfish”. The fried oysters were almost inedible. The hushpuppies are now a new vendor and they were not good. The salad bar was disgusting, well what was left of it. We showed up at 6pm so not like it was about to close, it also wasn’t busy as there were only 2 other occupied tables but the salad bar just looked pathetic. The trash cans were all overflowing which was odd since the place was almost empty. They were out of lids for cups so you couldn’t take anything to go. I was very disappointed with this place and obviously won’t give them another dollar of my money nor should you. If you do go after reading this, don’t say I didn’t warn you! Seriously, spend your money elsewhere.. this isn’t it.

This was my 1st visit and the guys were all friendly and helpful. The food was all fresh and food portions were great!
I ordered fresh cut Onion Rings, the Catfish & Butterfly Shrimp plate which came with a trip to the Salad Bar, Baked Potato (or FF), Pinto Beans, Cole Slaw & Hushpuppies. Everything was appealing and quite tasty! I will definitely stop in again on my next trip to Lufkin. Thanks for a great supper (& plenty of leftovers ), Catfish King!

Southern country catfish, shrimp, and oysters. It’s as good grilled as it is fried! If you can stop in and take advantage of the salad bar featuring pickled okra, green tomato relish, potato salad, Cole slaw, and all the fixins for a green salad or baked potatoes. Whatever you do, don’t skip the pinto beans!!! I have been known to drive up and order beans and hush puppies and be a happy country girl!!!! The location is rustic country with solid wood bench seating. Service is always given with a personal touch.

There aint a whole lot to say… YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE! Some of the best fish I have had. It just melts in your mouth. They also have a really good salad bar. And I am no expert, here, but I love the hush puppies here as well. Just a great meal. Folks are friendly and the place has a good vibe. You should really eat here!

I had the Catfish, Butterflied Shrimp & Fried Oysters. Everything was great. With the exception of the fried oysters. They were soggy & the putter crust fell apart before I got to them. My hubby had the Cajun Catfish. The Hushpuppies were Cylinder in shape & we found that odd. The atmosphere is dinner like & family-oriented.

Staff friendly and patient with our questions addressing the menu items! Quiet – Clean too!
We were expecting Catfish fillets but got stripes/ nuggets! Affordable yes $12.99 but marketing need to advertise catfish stripes or shrimp vs prawns. The salad bar was awesome and the baked potato was piping hot and delicious The desert are so delicious and affordable $2.95 less than $4.We ordered the peach cobbler & pecan pie.Suggest some whip cream to top it off is what we did once we got to Shreveport! Drive way off 10 ft.if you pass it up you gotta circle back around about a 1/2 mile again. Perhaps John Deere and Catfish King could collaborate in a backside gravel road or entry from 11am-6pm for the traveling folk like us! Directly next door to the other but no shared parking space! Travelers go down memory lane of unlimited Hot Catfish fillets at least let it be an option in 2024!

I got the catfish & oysters platter (not listed). It came out piping hot and was delicious. The salad bar was pretty good, too.
I’m so glad there’s a truck stop (Loves) across the highway. It made parking the 18-wheeler much safer than along the shoulder of the access road.

The Chicken Fried meal is delicious. It’s always hot and the employees are timely, welcoming and friendly. The drive thru wait is acceptable not long and my orders are accurate when I get home which is definitely an A+

Great food for a good price. Loved the small salad bar. Had everything you needed. Small cozy place with a down home feel. Will be back soon.

I am writing to provide feedback regarding my recent visit at the Lufkin location. As a frequent traveler between Houston and Texarkana, I often stop at your establishment and have always enjoyed the fish.
However, during my visit today, I was disappointed with the service I received at the drive-thru. The employee was dismissive and lacked the usual friendliness I have come to expect. Additionally, the wait time in the drive-thru was unusually long.
I understand that occasional issues can arise, but I believe that drive-thru etiquette and efficiency are crucial in the fast-food industry. I hope that you will address these concerns to ensure a consistently positive experience for all customers in the future.
