Wed Jan 26 19:20:02 -0800 2005 0 Susan 1 741098 dont know much about the area but if there is a cracker barrel near by they have great catfish...I know my friends think its crazy that I enjoy Cracker Barrel but for catfish they good. Thu Jan 27 06:38:51 -0800 2005 741095 0 orzobino 2 741115 I second this opinion of Cracker Barrel's fried catfish. When traveling with friends recently, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel and they had a fried catfish special. We all got it and all (1 from MS, 1 from NC, 2 from TN) thought it was outstanding. I am the one from MS and had to be talked into it, but I'm glad I gave in to peer pressure! Pat Thu Jan 27 17:52:59 -0800 2005 741098 0 Pat L 1 741103 Two places are okay--Miss Sipp's in Millington and the Olive Branch Catfish co. I'm told that there's a really good place in Red Banks, Mississippi but I haven't tried it as I go for catfish maybe once every six months. I visited the Cajun Catfish Co on Sycamore view for lunch one day, but I didn't have the catfish and wasn't impressed with what I did have. Not much help, I know--but it's something. Thu Jan 27 12:58:39 -0800 2005 741095 0 Randal Cooper 1 741124 Haven't found good fried catfish in Memphis. I like whole catfish and everyone seems to serve filets. And Cracker Barrel??? Please. I wouldn't even consider stepping foot into that place (without ordering an Uncle Herschel ;) Fri Jan 28 11:01:28 -0800 2005 741095 0 Tater 1 741132 Check out the Wolf River Cafe in Rossville. It's about 15 minutes east of Collierville. They don't serve catfish every day, usually just Fridays and Saturdays (I can't remember) - call the number below to verify. You can get there by taking Poplar Avenue east until you reach Highway 194, take a left on Highway 194, travel north about half a mile, Wolf River Cafe will be on your right. Wolf River Cafe 470 Hwy. 194 Rossville, TN 38066 Phone: 901-853-2586 Fri Jan 28 20:02:24 -0800 2005 741095 0 Dignan 2 741691 Of course everybody has personal tastes.. and I've eaten catfish all over the South, but the Wolf River Cafe is my current favorite. It's a bit of a drive from Memphis, and you'll most likely have to wait on catfish nights, but it's worth it. Their iced tea in a jar is fine and dandy with the catfish! Thu Mar 03 10:15:56 -0800 2005 741132 0 Jack 1 741169 Sort of out the local Memphis area but worth a mention. The best catfish I have ever had is about an hour and a half south of Memphis in Taylor, MS (15 minutes south of Oxford). They have filets and whole catfish and I hear the steaks are great, but can't seem to stray from the catfish. Tue Feb 01 00:14:31 -0800 2005 741095 0 john marc 2 741191 Thanks - what's the name of the place? Wed Feb 02 15:24:15 -0800 2005 741169 0 Susan 3 741193 Taylor Grocery. Great place in a cool little town. Wed Feb 02 15:50:58 -0800 2005 741191 0 Tater 1 741195 Actually in Memphis: have you tried Buntyn's? Wed Feb 02 20:53:56 -0800 2005 741095 0 Steve S. 2 741208 No, go to Olive Branch Catfish Company on Old Highway 78 (along the RR Tracks) in Olive Branch. They have grilled, blackened and the best fried in the area, not to mention endless hush puppies! Thu Feb 03 17:56:26 -0800 2005 741195 0 Steve Steffens 2 741352 Buntyn's hasn't been the same since it moved over to Park avenue and it's actually closed at the moment. They were evicted. Sat Feb 12 01:29:24 -0800 2005 741195 0 Susan 1 745803 Olive Branch Catfish Co. is good, and a pleasant enought drive and offers catfish everyday. Most of the "meat and 3" offer catfish as a special and typically on Fridays. Remember when the pope said you couldn't eat meat on Fridays? Try Alcenias on North Main (great) Patrick's now on Park at Mendenhall...does it taste as good as it did in the Target shopping center??? I hope so. The Little Tea Shop (downtown on Monroe) has a great catfish on Fridays too.

Also for sandwiches. And an excellent Caramel-Pecan pie. Sat Jun 24 15:33:48 -0700 2006 741095 11131 Randal Cooper 1 2281985 Going to bump this thing again with a couple of additional choices (trying to make this thing as complete as possible): First, Friday nights at the Brunswick General Store they have a fish fry of sorts. It's not bad, but not the earth shattering experience that I expected given the word-of-mouth (Soul Fish has 'em beat, but if you live out that direction it's certainly worth a visit). Second, the lunch buffet at Leonard's barbecue (off Mt. Moriah) has really excellent catfish. It can be a little greasy, but as a rule it's some good stuff. Sun Feb 11 12:00:09 -0800 2007 741095 11131 Randal Cooper 1 5053094 catfish shack on mendenhall as good as you will eat in memphis chris and the boys know how to cook catfish ... and the hushpuppies are great Wed Sep 23 14:00:17 -0700 2009 741095 219484 uncbornbred 2 5054434 I heard Blues City Cafe is know for their catfish Thu Sep 24 05:07:29 -0700 2009 5053094 116706 hlsess 1 5058292 Soul Fish Cafe is Cooper/Young has great fried catfish!!
