Catfish King Restaurant

We saw the Catfish King sign from the freeway and had to circle back through side streets to arrive, but it was worth it. Everything was great and just as we remembered from the Corsicana location that closed down years ago. The green tomato and onion relish was great with a hint of jalapeño juice. The sweet tea was great and included in their weekday lunch specials for $6.99. The photos below are of the shrimp and catfish lunch specials.

Upon pulling up the place was very busy. Took a while to get through line to order, but once ordered and seated the food came quickly. The food was catfish was cooked correctly and was still hot. The shrimp was slightly overcooked. The oysters, well I think they were blended into a breading and were almost non existant. While the food was ok, definitely not anywhere near like the seafood I would get in Louisiana..

We have always enjoyed catfish king in lufkin, but the last 2 times have be awful. The older women (with no name tag) took are order and was quite rude over a military discount we thought ok maybe a bad day. Two months later we thought we'd try again same women same attitude and when I asked for military discount she informed us one meal only quite rudely myself and my husband both have retired military ids and never had the chance to show them. We just asked for a little common courtesy needles to say we didn't get so we I told he she was rude and she said that was my opinion. So we left and probably won't be back.

Customer Servuce was AWEFUL! I arrived 15 minutes prior to closing. There was 2 of us that ordered. Only 1 got eating utensils. I asked for ALL TOPPINGS for baked potato. Received NONE. EMPLOYEES were playing while I was waiting on my food. Husbands fish was COLD. When I called back to complain I received excuses about 2 new employees. I believe some training is required!!!!
