Catfish House

Love the home cooked southern food and the friendly atmosphere and the ambiance of the restaurant.

July 2012 Starving, weary travelers, we stopped in for a bite before continuing our journey south. We arrived about a quarter after 4 in the afternoon and just as the crowd started arriving.
We were greeted by a lovely hostess who was steeped in southern charm in a room with deer heads hanging off the walls… 9 to be exact & a boat’s head! But, given the location of this restaurant and that it’s been around since ’77, I’ll forgive the old tired hunting décor.
Soon after we were seated, our cherub faced server arrived to take our drink order & read the special. It sounded delish but we wanted seafood. So, we ordered shrimp plates with sides of coleslaw & grits. Our server promptly brought us a plate of hush puppies & homemade pickled vegetables. YUM! I’ve included a picture for you to see for yourself.
Soon after our food arrived. It was a bit salty, but good. Cooked perfectly and a huge portion! The grits were creamy with just the right amoint of salt & didn’t need the very large cup of butter on the side.
We ate and as we were leaving for the last leg of our journey, stomachs full and heart happy, the cashier explained to us that «people came from an hour away to eat here & the only reason ours food came out so quick is because we beat the weekend crowd»! ;)
We’d stop in again except we’ll probably never come this way and if we do, we may forget here this place is … In the middle of nowhere georgia!!! Good food, decent price & some good Ol fashioned southern charm!
