The only thing Arkansans like more than catfish is an all-you-can-eat buffet of catfish, seafood, and all the fixin’s. The Hidden Valley Catfish House in Conway is one of the best places in the state to fill up on catfish. Let’s head to this rustic log cabin for a mouthwatering buffet that’ll have you rolling out the door.

This was our first visit, and it was a good one. They had catfish steaks and filets, buffalo fish, fried chicken tenders, fried quail, frog legs, fried mushrooms, french frie, hush puppies, crawlfish, potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, pinto beans, turn up greens, corn on the COB, fried okra, macaroni and cheese, sliced bread, pickle tomatoes, cut fresh onion, they also have a salad bar. Soft serve ice cream, blackberry, cobbler, peach cobbler, banana pudding, and they had something that was made with pecans, a thin Pastry base. And a sweet syrup over the top of it that was simply delicious.
Even though they closed early on this Sunday, the food on the buffet was still very fresh and lots of it. We arrived about an hour and a 1/2 before closing time and we were not disappointed.
We were there on a Sunday the hours. Where 11 to 2
I would recommend this place.
If you want a good catfish buffet. With most all the fixings. And some unexpected extras
And there was even a discount for paying with cash.

Hidden Creek has by far the best catfish around. It’s a fun environment and with quail (on Saturday nights), frog legs, buffalo (which is hard to find), shrimp and crawdads on the buffet for no extra cost it just can’t be beat! The owner is great as well, he is very helpful and can be seen answering questions and socializing with customers regularly. There are also party rooms available to book for your next event. If you haven’t been there you simply must go check it out; you may even get to see the parade of baby ducks outside if you’re lucky

Went on a Thursday evening around 6ish. Nice crowd, but not to crowded. I got a salad, chicken strips, green beans mac n cheese, shrimp.
The shrimp and mac were blah and flat no seasoning what so ever. My friend got frog legs and catfish, he said they didn’t know how to cut the fish and the frog legs weren’t fully cooked. Service was great tho.

Went a little over a week ago for my mom’s birthday on a Sunday after church. They allowed us to sit in a room where we could all be seated together. The buffet had catfish fillets, Cajun fillets, catfish steaks, frog legs, shrimp, fried chicken in a few different cuts ( wings, dummies, strips, whole pieces, etc. ) crawfish. The crawfish was seasoned extremely well. Now the only reason why I’m giving it a 4 star in food is because everything except maybe 4 hot side items were fried. Don’t get me wrong, they were all good. It would have just been nice to have a baked or grilled meat item. The sides also included fried green tomatoes, corn nuggets, fried mushrooms, fried okra, french fries, etc. the only hot non fried items were corn on the cob, greens, baked beans, Mac and cheese, and broccoli. You still had your usual slaws, potato salad, green tomatoes, onion, etc. On the cold side.
Now let’s get to the dessert. I was told to try the cherry cobbler if I ever visited this place but got here and they had a blackberry cobbler in its place. It was 10/10. They also had banana pudding which to my surprise was very good, peach cobbler and pecan cobbler. Now the pecan cobbler needed a little help. It was very watery and runny and the dough wasn’t done but the flavor was definitely there in the filling. The service was top tier. To be a buffet our drinks stayed full, our empty plates stayed clear, great conversation with the staff without being over bearing. So in conclusion, if you want good fish and food, great service, love fried food, in kid friendly/family atmosphere, this is the place to be.

So I walked in greeted by lady at register. I was dining in so she said find a seat and someone would come for my drink order. I went to wash my hands. Sat back at the table to wait on waitress. Then I just went to get my food, eating and still no drink, finally I waved down a waitress and finally got my drink after waiting patiently 20-25 minutes and I was watching the time. The fish fillets and frog legs weren’t cooked throughly, the shrimp and catfish steaks were delicious, macaroni was ok, broccoli was delicious, crawfish was dry and the apple pie was not so good. It tasted bought not homemade. Thats all I tried. The guy with the southern accent was very nice and the cashier. Just moved here and a lot of folks bragged about it but maybe my timing was wrong. A Sunday at about 1pm

The food was good and it’s an all you can eat buffet. A lot of people come there and the tables clear faster than I thought they would. I was able to eat frog legs. I haven’t had them since I was a kid. I had cat fish, corn, frog legs, BBQ chicken bites, mac and cheese, broccoli, peach cobbler, and ice cream. There are many other food choices too.
I’m also posting the hours because Google had them wrong at the time I went.

Great fish buffet. The food was hot and flavorful. The buffet was well stocked and the workers were super helpful. We visited on a Saturday evening (around 4pm). They had a decent crowd, but it wasn’t overwhelming.
