I’ve never been here before, so let’s check it out.
On the chalkboard outside I noticed it said blue jeans Sunday. Needless to say I wasn’t wearing blue jeans.
The ambiance with spectacular, especially on the second floor.
Our group feels the server was attentive friendly and accommodating. It was
somewhat busy. My whole Catfish was tasty, as was the hashbrown casserole. The cream spinach and sweet potato were really good .
My veggy omelette not so much a lil to oily for me.
Someone in our group got the chicken and waffles, the hush puppies, the catfish bites, Mac and cheese, and chocolate chip pancakes. Everyone was pleasantly pleased as some went back for seconds.
I would’ve loved to have had a pancake or cinnamon roll however the flour is enriched very unhealthy unsafe ingredient. Otherwise all was good
We then continued outside to the dock where for .25¢ you can get some fish food and feed the catfish on the Halifax. Take some fun pictures, or just sit outside and enjoy the view of the river and the boats. There’s also a small playground area outside where are the kiddos can play
There’s also live music at outside dining area.
I will definitely return again.
I would highly recommend this be a stop you make

This place was great! I went during happy hour! The had half off appetizers and drink specials! I had the Cajun shark bites which were great! The Flam Chowder was something different and really good and came out piping hot fresh! The shrimp was amazing and I enjoyed the cinnamon rolls. My server was really good and my food came out really fast! I will definitely be back !

Very popular seafood restaurant that has earned a great reputation for the freshest seafood and delicious preparation. We thoroughly enjoyed the clam strips in light batter with a lightly deep fried hush puppy. My wife added a crabcake w tartar sauce and a sweet potato side w honey cinnamon butter. Our entrees came w unlimited plates from their Fish Camp Fixings buffet. We agreed each of the fixin’s was excellent. The buffet included barbeque baked beans, heated cinnamon spiced apple slices, cornbread, and broccoli salad, potato salad, and cole slaw. To top it off we’re hot, gluey cinnamon rolls from the bakery. Waitstaff was excellent. Plenty of parking.

Our first time, was a LATE lunch 2pm, here it was strange to have several outdoor seating areas but only four or five that were owned by Aunt catfish’s and suitable to be served at! The food was pretty good but nothing above anywhere else! And it inside was so cold we had to sit outside thank God there was a table! On the plus side they are pet friendly! But there isn’t a lot of space especially if your pet weighs over 10 lb! They have lots of options and several good meal deals, but the atmosphere was a little cold/standoffish. Our server was on point and very sweet. In the opinion of myself and my husband, it is a little overpriced. We probably won’t go back.

Food was good. Most entrees come with 1 side, but then you get an all-you-can-eat buffet of other side dishes and ayce cinnamon rolls. Ooohhh, those cinnamon rolls. Hot and freshly made, drowning in icing. They go out as fast as they make them. So good!

1 hour 5 minute wait for this? Sunday buffet was not all it was hyped up to be. packed to the gills, kids without any control, sticking their hands in the food, screaming babies, super loud clientele. Way too packed to be enjoyable. 1/3 of the customers need to be on ozempic, just gross. The cinnamon rolls are good, but after one you should be done.

Amazing place to eat and very reasonable prices. Noon weekly specials were $10. Fresh cinnamon rolls are amazing. Salads were very tasty and fresh. Our party had battered fish with side or salt and pepper catfish with side. Big portions and very good!
Would definitely recommend and eat there again!!!

A Must-Visit for Families!
What a fantastic find! My family and I were looking for a spot with authentic Southern cooking, and Aunt Catfish’s On the River exceeded all our expectations. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the views of the Halifax River are just beautiful. But the real standout was the service. Our server was absolutely phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and incredibly patient and great with our kids, which made the whole dining experience so much more relaxing and enjoyable for us parents.
The food was out of this world. The catfish was perfectly fried, the cheese grits were creamy, and the cinnamon rolls are worth the trip alone! Everything tasted fresh and homemade. You can tell they put a lot of love into their food. We left with full bellies and big smiles. If you’re in the Port Orange area, do yourself a favor and stop by. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Florida!

If first impressions mattered less, Aunt Catfish would still knock you flat on the second bite.
My first visit to Aunt Catfish in Port Orange felt less like discovering a restaurant and more like being adopted by a very delicious, very competent Southern family. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere hit that perfect sweet spot: lively without being loud, warm without being kitschy, and buzzing with the unmistakable confidence of a place that knows it’s good.
Let’s talk seafood—because wow. Fresh, perfectly cooked, and unapologetically flavorful. The salmon deserves its own fan club. Moist, flaky, and seasoned like someone in the kitchen genuinely cares about your happiness. This wasn’t “restaurant salmon.” This was I-need-to-come-back-and-order-this-again salmon.
Now, service. Or rather—legendary service. Enter “Cousin” Ashley, who somehow managed to be attentive, hilarious, warm, and efficient all at once. She didn’t just take care of us; she ran the table like a pro who loves what she does. The kind of service that makes you feel relaxed, welcomed, and mildly disappointed that she doesn’t follow you to your next meal.
And the atmosphere? Classic Florida charm done right. Casual, fun, and inviting—like a place where good food, good people, and good stories collide regularly and nobody’s mad about it.
Bottom line: this was my first time at Aunt Catfish, but it absolutely won’t be my last. I came curious. I left impressed, well-fed, and already planning a return. If you’re anywhere near Port Orange and you skip this place, that’s on you.
Five stars. Six if Cousin Ashley’s working.

Fried alligator bites, cajun shark, and the best clam chowder I’ve ever had in my life! Rock Lobster cocktail was boozy, server Brooke was sweet and patient, and apart from the insanely crowded waiting area we were stuck in for 15-20 minutes before our dinner, it was 5 out of 5 stars. Our first visit, but it definitely won’t be our last!
