Catfish Cove

Love love Catfish Cove for their Sunday buffet, have been going their for 12 years now on Sunday’s to eat lunch. Although I can’t eat as much as I use to all the food is just as good as it was when I first starting going there

Just down the street from our house but we only go there once a year. Last night I realized why. We have two kids and they are too old for the kids menu, yet can’t eat an adults meal. There is nothing for them on the menu under $ 9.00. I find it difficult to pay $ 9.00 for a kids entrée. The food was greasy and the salad bowls were tiny at the salad bar. Once you put lettuce in there wasn’t room for toppings or dressing.

First off they don’t accept debit or credit cards. Luckily there is an atm near the register. Went for the Sunday buffet and it was «grab and growl.» Layout is poor and everyone is bunched up waiting to get food. Tables are white textured folding plastic tables. Chairs on the flimsy side. Food was acceptable. Kind of odd to have a placed called Catfish Cove and not offer any seafood at all on the buffet. Had meatloaf, fried chicken and chicken in a cream type sauce. The broccoli casserole was good and the mac and cheese was close to what grandma makes but not exactly. Nothing fancy at all. If you want to impress someone stay away. If you want to get a full, you will be good to go.

Make no mistake about it… Catfish Cove is a total grease pit. But it’s GOOD grease. It’s a no frills fish camp setting near the river. The service has always been good when I’ve been there but the real standout is the Sunday buffet. Don’t be discouraged by the long long line out the door… they really move people in and out. There’s usually fried chicken, mashed potatoes, steak and gravy, meatloaf and a bunch of pretty decent vegetables to choose from. The real standout is the fried squash. Even if you don’t like squash, give it a try; it’s wafer thin and fried super crispy… like Lay’s chips, I betcha can’t eat just one. Dessert and a drink is included… the Tums/​Rolaids you’ll need afterwards is not. =)
