Catfish King has always been a longtime favorite across Texas, especially for their catfish. But one thing many of us still miss is the salad bar that was discontinued during Covid and never brought back.
Covid restrictions are long gone, and now more than ever people are focusing on healthier eating. Bringing back the salad bar would give customers a fresh, lighter option alongside the fried favorites. Not everyone wants a heavy meal every time, and having that balance made Catfish King stand out.
It would be great to see Catfish King consider reopening the salad bar. It’s something loyal customers appreciated, and it would offer a healthier alternative that benefits everyone.
The Fish is always a flavor bowl and crispy. You should definitely try it if you haven’t. Another suggested might be get rid of the whipped bread for the hush puppies and bring back the butter.

I stopped at David Beard’s Catfish and Seafood while traveling from Cedar Hill State Park to Fort Richardson State Park for Living History Days. It was my first time visiting, and I’m so glad I did! The venue has plenty of parking and a welcoming interior. The receptionist was incredibly nice and polite, making the service excellent. The food came out warm and delicious. I had the lunch special—the fish and fries were great, but the pinto beans were the real standout. I’m officially a fan! The salad was fresh too. I hope to drop by again when I visit Fort Richardson State Park.

The only positive was our waitress. She was great and very sweet! Now onto the rest of our experience- first of all, the smell when you walk in smelled like a porta-potty. My steak was inedible, shrimp smelled rancid like it had gone bad, and to make matters worse there was hair in my babies food… very disappointed.

Fried catfish and baked fish is a great option. The only problem is saw was at the salad bar, they have pinto beans with the salad and the beans were cold when they brought more out to serve. Otherwise everything else was good.

We love this place! We live up the road and have been eating here for the last 5 years since we moved to Azle. The beans are amazing! Not a huge fan of fried food.. so we always get the baked fish with salsa and cheese on top (ask for grilled instead of baked) our food is always fresh and hot! I do think they need some music or some kind of noise playing in the restraunt, but it’s not a deal breaker!

It was okay. I ordered the chicken and fish combo. It tasted good but the fish has a lot of batter for what you get. I think my 3 pieces of catfish was one catfish cut into 3 slivers and breaded so that was a bit disappointing.
The wait staff was very on top of everything and friendly.

Catfish bland except the Cajun catfish so if you like taste go Cajun .
Please be aware this is not “FRESH “ seafood but frozen then deep fried.so price does reflect this( you get what you pay for) think Captain D’s or long John silvers for better options, onion rings were great
Pinto beans were low, and lukewarm add jalapeno peppers for taste, salad bar had no lettuce , coleslaw was OK.
Sever was good even though they were short handed, poor guy was jumping through hoops .
A place to try once ( one and done)

I order the lunch fish specials. Best thing is it’s real catfish & lightly battered. Worst part was a lil dry & lack flavor. Strips were small, but expected because it was a lunch special. Fries were great & hush puppies taste good. Beans were okay & cole slaw was too sweet. Just finished eating.

Food was really good!
Hot and freshly cooked .
We had the catfish, fries and hushpuppies with free salad bar and free drinks. (Senior special).
Salad bar was well stocked and lots of choices. Also big pot of beans.
Service was excellent!
Can hardly wait to visit again!

I wish I could rate them better (and look forward to making an improvement update in the future. See below.) but this time went poorly. I was confronted with what appeared to be a potential to-go food safety matter. I attempted to bring it to local management as soon as I was able only to be yelled at, hung up on, and future calls ignored. In a world where a lot of folks would have looked for a payday I tried to help by bringing the matter to management.
Thankfully, with the help of another location I reached corporate and spoke to senior leadership who assured they would investigate and address the matter and wholly apologized for how the matter was handled locally. They did explain that in processing sometimes things happen that can cause an off taste but that it is rare, is not a safety concern, and would not generally be served. It may simply have been a case of bad luck that 1 slipped the net as they say. Nonetheless, they assured me steps would be taken to review their inventory for food quality. I appreciate the responsiveness and assistance of the leadership team, very professional!
I do trust the corporate response which is why they have 3 stars overall as I do intend to visit again to reevaluate and update this review allowing time for corrective action to occur.
