The Hush Puppy

Chose this place because we wanted somewhere that was VERY family-​friendly since we were going to have four rugrats in tow, at least three of which were notorious for exhibiting past behaviors requiring swift and unscheduled trips back «out to the car».
Hadn’t been here in years, but I remember it being very loud and very casual. It was still casual, but since there were very few customers besides us, we had to provide the noise. (Thanks, kids). Not sure what happened to the crowds, but it might be menu changes like the no-​longer-​available AYCE crab legs on Mondays. They now run daily specials, but the all-​you can-​eats are pretty much limited to shrimp and catfish.
I was pleasantly surprised by the salad bar. Back in the day, it featured a few paltry selections like cole slaw, carrot sticks and some weird pickled green tomato concoction. These are still available, but now they have added a sufficient array of vegetables that you can hook yourself up with a pretty nice salad.
The hush puppies, as others have stated, are pretty bland, but not bad when slathered in the honey butter. Those who ordered the cornmeal– fried catfish seemed to enjoy it; personally, I find those strange dark veins running through it quite off-​putting and generally avoid it. Like calamari, it may not taste bad, but there’s just something creepy about it.
On the other hand, I am not in the least bit creeped out by oysters (go figure), and the deep fried ones are served with a tasty remoulade. Shrimp stuffed with a spicy, savory crab meat mixture then battered and fried were not bad, and even the french fries were also battered and seasoned. Babygirl was trying to eat clean and got broiled chicken with collard greens and salad, and the Anaconda was eating light so he stuck with the gumbo.
Everyone enjoyed their meals although no one was blown away. If you go, you won’t leave hungry and theatmosphere is pleasant unless you happen in on a night when our kids are misbehaving.

I am from Louisiana and saying this is Louisiana food is a joke. They must have never heard of creole seasoning. I had the Pan-​seared Louisiana Shrimp. Most of the shell was left on the shrimp and the seasoning was not good at all. The menu said it comes with corn coblettes and I got fried green tomatoes. I questioned that and the waitress said it was because you get the corn when the tomatoes are out of season. The only thing good about this place is the people that work there.

I think this place is a little gem. The restaurant is not much to look at, but I think it’s meant to remind you of going to your grandmother’s house. When you walk in, it is like you stepped into 1978, the staff is super friendly, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable for what you get… but the prices are not cheap either. I enjoyed my food and the salad bar that came with it.
I think the French fries are all that and a bag of chips. I will be coming here again soon.

I haven’t been here in forever. The last time I was here was I think 2003. With my grandparents and mom. Food was pretty good for what I remember.

Food Not Bad… but wouldn’t go back… There was lots of menu options depending on your preference… however my date was allergic to fish so that brought the options waaaay Down… I’m not exactly sure which days they’re open and I must not be the only one… because I was there on a Thursday early evening and it was a ghost town… our server was very attentive and kind… I liked how the salad bar had other salads like potato and Macaroni… but other than that Nothing to write home About

The BEST, I mean The BEST catfish, shrimp, hush puppies & sweet butter you can get unlimited or individual. Not to mention the allllllllll you can eat salad bar, their Cole Slaw is Slammin’.
I’m from NYC & have had catfish in many places around the country & I have to say Hush Puppy has the BEST catfish going light, crispy & not oily.
The staff & especially the owner are fantastic they really treat you like family.
If you’ve not had a chance to eat here make sure to go you’ll be more than pleased & will go back often.
Hush Puppy the King of Catfish!

The All You can Eat catfish is 100%! Great atmosphere and service!

Party of two. Seated immediately. Almost empty restaurant —
Two groups in there .
Clean establishment
Orders:
Sweet tea with no ice — had bad after taste from the machine or whatever it was being held in. Gross!
Basket of fries — clearly taste like these are fried in mixed-​use unclean grease.
I realize that we went into the restaurant at 935p and it closes at 10pm but…
Really guys !!! C’mon — if you can’t handle the simple stuff, how can I trust you with crab, fish and shrimp ??
Hush puppies are free and are given to you when you’re seated. Not too hard to mess-​up these little gems but these were bland. Totally void of flavor. Good texture on them but not very tasty at all.
Because of these experiences, We decided not to order anything more– left the restaurant before closing at 10p
Service was nice, joyful and quick.

From the outside it appears to be nothing to write home about — but once you enter you’re in for one huge surprise. We were pleasantly greeted upon entering and quickly seated. I honestly couldn’t tell you what was on the menu because as soon as I read ‘All You Can Eat Catfish’, I was instantly sold! The catfish literally just melts in your mouth. I had the combo catfish & shrimp. The shrimp was just as good — no heavy breading and even though it was fried, it was far from greasy. Our waitress was on top of things — never once did we have to wait for drink refills. The food was delicious. I strongly recommend trying their Greens — there is no word to properly describe how mouth watering they are. And finally … the never ending hushpuppies … OMG … amazing is all I can say! If you’re hungry for some off-​the-​chain catfish — then you MUST give Hush Puppy’s a try!

Great place for Catfish. Sitting down for all you can eat is cool but we like the take out. My son even likes it (that says a lot). Their menu isnt too complicated, but it definitely turned into a go to for my family for fish. You can pay a lot more for a lot less.

This place will always hold a special place in my heart because it’s one of the first restaurants my parents took me to when we moved to Vegas in 1987. In all these years it hasn’t changed and it totally does not need to.
Hush Puppy’s has some great southern food. They specialize in AYCE Catfish, Fried Shrimp Crab legs and so much more. They do daily specials as well.
When I arrived my Dad had already gotten us a table and there were Hush Puppies waiting for me at the table.
Pro-​tip: Don’t fill up on the Hush Puppies. They tend to expand and fill you up faster.
I knew I wanted the AYCE Shrimp and my dad wanted the AYCE Shrimp and Catfish. It comes with their salad bar which is really small, but I think it has the perfect amount of items. I’m a huge coleslaw snob and Hush Puppy’s has the perfect recipe. It isn’t packed with sugar. They also have pickle spears and a yummy tarter sauce.
Our Shrimp and Catfish came out fast. The Shrimp were huge and perfectly crisp. Yum! The food tasted just as good as it did before. The staff is excellent. Our waitress kept the Shrimp and Catfish flowing and was on point as far as drinks were concerned.
By the end of the meal we were so full. But Hush Puppy’s did not disappoint. The meal was just what I wanted. It hasn’t changed in all these years and that’s part of the charm for me. Not to mention they do have some seriously tasty seafood. If you feel like filling up on some tasty bites make sure you check out Hush Puppy’s.

We loved everything we got there the frog legs was good the fish is delicious alligator was great.

Amazing catfish fillets and hushpuppies :) I also love there fried green tomatoes :) Great place to go:)

Good fried fish & southern food.

Don’t let the location or the look of the place fool you. The Hush Puppy has good southern food, offering some items that you won’t find much of in the valley – such as alligator.
The atmosphere is very casual, certainly perfect for a family with kids. The waitress was good; we did go a bit without seeing her at one point, but nothing enough to get us upset.
The food was really, really good.
Appetizers: First, we started with a bowl of gumbo, and it was fantastic. My daughter ended up ordering another bowl as her main course. The hushpuppies, which came with our meals, were good. My wife liked them more than I; but I must say the sweet butter it comes with really enhances the flavor. We also had the salad bar, which was very basic overall — and no complaints from us.
Entrees: My wife had the crab legs, which made her happy. My son ordered the endless fried shrimp, and had the wharf combo – alligator & frog legs w/​greens. Personally, I was happy with everything. The batter they used didn’t take away from the flavor of the actual food; the same went for the shrimp.
So that’s (for 4 people) — 2 bowls of gumbo, 3 salad bars, hush puppies for all. endless shimp w/​fries, over a LB of snow crabs w/​fries, alligator/​frog legs combo w/​collard greens, and 4 drinks for under $ 80. How can you go wrong w/​that?
And if you want to pick food up on your way home from work, they have a drive-​thru!

This is the best place to get southern fried catfish is Las Vegas. The fish is fried to perfection and is light and tasty. Not to mention the affordable all you can eat catfish special. The salad bar is simple and traditional. Great pasta, macaroni and potato salad. Also the homemade tartar sauce is delicious, thick and creamy. Fried alligator at most places it’s tough and rubbery but NOT at The Hush Puppy. The alligator is tender and flavorful.
The only thing preventing it form being 5 stars is the hours and the all you can eat catfish. Don’t get me wrong, I ALWAYS order the all you can eat catfish, my issue is you have to really stay on the waiters and waitresses to get «all you can eat». After your initial order they ask you if you want more, but they bring you one or two pieces, then after that they sometimes push the check on you. I understand they maybe trying to keep costs down, but if you offer all you can eat, then expect people are going to eat a lot and be available to bring them plenty of fish. Lastly the hours. I’m a big lunch person and I only eat at this restaurant on Sundays, when they are open at noon. I understand mom and pop businesses are limited, but I really think they can increase profit by being open at noon the rest of the week, or at least on Saturday.

So one night we craved for some catfish & raw oysters. (Okay, okay. no hankie-​pankie here, we were just HUNGRY) What’s the best place to grab one? Couldn’t think of anywhere else besides Hush Puppies.
Nice big, bright sign by the street, you won’t miss it. We opted for the drive thru coz the kids were fast asleep in the backseat. Although there was a little mixed up in our order, they were very apologetic about it & was fast in resolving the issue.
The catfish came steaming hot & the oysters were fresh. Nyum! Happy tummy here!!! Customer service was impeccable.
PRO: food, customer service
CON: waiting time
Coming back & would definitely recommend.

Awesome spot for some good fried catfish, hush puppies and greens. The gumbo my husband had he said it was delicious. If your ever in Vegas make sure you stop by and check out hush puppy restaurant.

Ive been a million times to this fish shack. But this last time really takes the cake. How about I tell you all about the old salad they display. OMG its old but you just happen to open 30 minutes ago. How on earth do you place old food out when you just opened? I got the all you can eat catfish and omg they didn’t clean it right nor did they wash the fish in vinegar its smelled like something just died. Ewww!
The baked potato was hard and not done. The cup I was given to drink out of was dirty. And the restroom looked so dirty I walked in and said no way… I mean that if I was homeless I would not use that restroom.
It makes you ponder if the food is like that. And the restroom is dirty what does the kitchen look like? It made my belly hurt just to think of the nastyness that very well could be in that kitchen. We was only customer number 6 so they have no excuse as to why everything is dirty and nasty. I will never return. I looked over at my husband while at the dinner table and I said to him get full because we will never come back here ever in life.

I love, love, love this place! I don’t know if I was there on a good day! But when I don’t feel like cooking my own, guess where I will be? I’m waiting for you to guess? Yep… DING DING DING! Hush Puppy!
They aren’t afraide to put there foot in there cooking (for those that don’t know, that’s a good thing) Yes, the seasoning on this fish was amazing, I love mine fried hard! The salad was good, the Baked potatoe, was good! I just wish they had pepsi products! lol,
If your ever in the area, stop and check it out. I know there’s another one on Chareston, but I havent been to that one.
