Catfish Cabin

We got our food to go. The little salads with ranch dressing were good. Husband and I both got the shrimp/oyster plates. The French fries were disappointing, greasy, almost matchstick fries. Neither of us ate them. We now know to get the baked potato next time. The huspuppies are nothing special. However, the shrimp and oysters were phenomenal, perhaps the best we've ever had. Delicious! They made me forgive the lousy fires. The little container of pudding was a decent effort on a simple dessert. The large plate could easily have served us both. We requested extra tartar sauce and lemon which they provided. Tartar sauce made with sweet relish which just seems wrong to me. We prefer dill relish but that's just a personal preference.

My family has been eating at the Catfish Cabin since I can remember, it was always one of my grandmother's favorite places to eat lunch at. We now we take my daughter, who is a very picky eater because she loves the fried shrimp. The salad bar alone is almost worth the sometimes standing room only wait on a Friday or Saturday night and you won't find better service. The only complaint I have and reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that everything on the lunch menu is $12.95 or more, thats kind of much for a lunch for the regular person, tho I do understand everything is going up here latley...just wish it were our pay.

Great place for seafood better in Lumberton. Their main thing is their Catfish which is fried to the right degree of crispiness or grilled to perfection. They also have shrimp, crab cakes, and oysters. This night I was disappointed because I wanted to get the combo of Catfish and Oysters, but they were out of Oysters and this was on a Saturday! So I elected just to get the large order of fried Catfish with a baked potato. They have a pretty nice salad bar and also a potato bar for anything you want to fix your baked potato to your liking! My wife opted for their seafood platter that came with grilled Catfish, two Crab cakes, Grilled Shrimp, and one grilled Stuffed Shrimp, and NO Oysters! She also ordered the baked potato for her side. To start all of this off we ordered an appetizer of stuffed jalapenos that came stuffed with cheddar cheese. Again, I was a little disappointed as being a seafood restaurant I thought they would be seafood stuffed jalapenos with crabmeat and shrimp, but they were ok. For drinks we both had Ice Tea. With were with a large group celebrating a family members retirement. Everyone was pretty happy with their food. Our server for the evening really did an excellent job in keeping up with our table, she had a great personality!!! They have a bar and do serve beer, and someone wanted beer, but there was an issue with their liquor license and they were not able to serve alcohol at this time. I would like to go back as it really did have a nice atmosphere to it. They bring peanuts to your table on arrival and encourage patrons to throw the shells on the floor!!!
