"While “‘feathers” make up half of the menu (and name), the “fins” alone are worth a trip to Gatlin’s Fins & Feathers in Garden Oaks. All the seafood served at this retro diner is Southern comfort style, which means the food is downhome, with no-nonsense cooking. Grab a bowl of the everything gumbo brimming with shredded crab meat and shrimp, or a shrimp po’boy slathered in cajun mayo on a fluffy baguette. Few things provide the comfort that the sound of sizzling fried catfish does, so we like to head to Gatlin’s Fins & Feathers when we need a dose of comfort throughout the week." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
