Barrow’s Catfish - Earhart

"Now two years old, this Earhart Boulevard shop is the revival of pre-Katrina fried catfish destination Barrow’s Shady Inn, and has quickly become just as important to the city. The Johnson family instituted a carhop model in Barrow’s parking lot following the closure of restaurant dining rooms, offering “full curbside service” for its perfectly fried fish and more, Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Clair Lorell

"This Hollygrove shop with a reputation for some of the best fried catfish in town is open for takeout, Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Call to place an order for curbside pickup at the restaurant, where the family has instituted a carhop model." - Clair Lorell

"This Hollygrove shop and Eater 38 restaurant with a reputation for some of the best fried catfish in town is now open for limited hours, Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Call to place an order for curbside pickup at the restaurant, where the family has instituted a carhop model." - Clair Lorell

"Nearly 13 years since Hurricane Katrina, Barrow's Catfish announced Wednesday that it will swing open this Friday, July 6, at 10 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting followed by regular service at 11 a.m. The restaurant, originally called Barrow's Shady Inn, opened in 1943 and made a name for itself with its fried catfish (fried catfish was the only entree and potato salad was the only side at the original location) and the new name, Barrow's Catfish, celebrates that. Though catfish is still king on the menu, the new eatery will also serve fried shrimp, crawfish bread, gumbo, and more." - Stephanie Carter

"Barrow’s Catfish, originally called Barrow’s Shady Inn, is returning with an expanded menu including fried shrimp, crawfish bread, and gumbo. It will take over the location previously housed by LA Smokehouse, which closed after an electrical fire in August 2017." - Stephanie Carter
