    Once again a trip to Catfish Dewey’s proves to be an enjoyable experience. The friendly greeting, great service, and wonderful food make for a great dining experience. There’s no wonder after 40years they still are packed with satisfied diners. I can’t wait to go back again.

    If we could give six stars we would. We’re from out of state visiting for work. Seafood is a treat being landlocked at home. This was our second time, and neither disappointed.

    Food was awesome. They start you with coleslaw and hush puppies that was so good. Made the reservation and that worked out great. Greeted at door and sat right away. Nice family restaurant and the portions were plenty of food. Will be returning next time in town!

    Rather disappointing. Had the combo platter. The shrimp were very good. The cod was rubbery. The scallops tough as well. The sweet potato was good, thought they brought me a baked potato first by mistake.
