Creekside Catfish

The fried catfish is excellent but what I really love is their salmon salad. It has a huge piece of fresh grilled salmon with candied walnuts and a great raspberry vinaigrette. It’s delicious!

Best seafood (shrimp– scallops & oysters) I’ve found in a central Georgia restaurant. We live on the coast in Delaware, but find the seafood here every bit as goof & fresh & as well prepared as anywhere that we have been. We always look forward to going to Creekside

Based on its limited hours, I thought this place must be amazing. How can a restaurant survive on hours like that? Also, there was a forty minute wait, so I assumed again it must be amazing. Well I was wrong.
This place has the ambiance of a soup kitchen. There is no creek that I can see, so don’t come expecting to be next to a creek or having a water view.
I had the grilled shrimp. While good, I can make it at home and it would’ve been just as good. The sides were nothing spectacular. Also, the dessert (had a weird name, can’t recall) was not worth the calories. With German chocolate cake and nuts, I express something delicious. We left most of it on the plate.
I just don’t get the hype. Our server was very nice though but sadly forgetful.

The first thing you need to know is that Creekside is only open a few days a month. It is a family owned local restaurant with southern charm and good fried fish and fixin’s. You will most likely have to wait for a while for a table, especially if you are with a group of 4 or more. It’s a bit crowded but the food is fantastic and truly southern.

We ordered the catfish platter, all-​u-​can-​eat catfish and flounder platter. Although everything we ordered were fried, the waitress informed us that we can get them grilled. They’ve also added salmon to their menu. Even the kids enjoyed the catfish. The dessert were delicious. Overall, the food was great and so was the service.

Great dinner. The service was friendly. We got lucky, the wait to get a table was short. My wife had Fried Scallops and I had the low country boil. The food was really good. The portion sizes were more than I could eat. There was even a complementary desert for all the mothers in the house.

Love, love to eat here. Catfish is always hot and tasty. They are consistent in their service and their food!

This isn’t for the restaurant, but for the fruit stand in the parking lot.
There were Lane Peaches, Lots of juicy watermelon available and other fresh fruits and vegetables for purchase. All in all, it was a nice stop, a country mile off of 75. I;m glad I made a stop!

A humble restaurant setting with stellar southern style seafood, personable and friendly staff. I’ve been eating at Creekside since I was about five years old and it’s been a family favorite for years.
As soon as you’re seated, everyone is presented with a small bowl of their home made bread and butter pickles, absolutely delicious and they can be purchased in mason jars upon leaving by the register. The menu is moderately priced and the portions are filling. Though known for my personal favorite, their catfish, the shrimp is incredibly fresh and delicious as well.
The only downside is that they are only open the first weekend of the month. Typically Thursday-​Saturday and in those 3 days the restaurant stays packed open to close. Make sure to visit them and get there before 5. There’s not another place like this in the area and it’s so worth it.

Only open two days a week and it’s packed. The all you can eat catfish is seasoned well and not too greasy. A problem I’ve noticed with some other places. The grouper and shrimp are also very good. However, the onion rings are horrible. I’d advise you not order them.
