Airy soul food spot with fried chicken, catfish, and BBQ
"With great Southern vibes and dishes, Catfish feels like a piece of Louisiana plopped right in the neighborhood. It also helps that they have one of the better whiskey and scotch selections around. Ya'll go and grab one of their signature NOLA style cocktails with some great Southern food and corn bread with some friends and have yourself a real nice time." - Kyle & Annie Turman
"The restaurant, which originated in Newark, describes itself as “farm to soul.” The interiors make it look like it could be in a shopping mall, only on Eastern Parkway. The fried chicken is exceptional, lightly breaded but still exceedingly crunchy, with flavor to spare. The namesake cornbread is pretty good as well." - Robert Sietsema
"As a rare, nearly perfect New Orleans-style po’ boy in the borough, their catfish po’ boy ($15) features freshly fried fish with an earthy, slightly fishy flavor, layered with parsley and a homemade tartar sauce lavishly smeared on like there’s no tomorrow." - Robert Sietsema
"The room is elegant with upholstered booths and counter ordering, and the menu highlights fried chicken and classic sides; a New Orleans–style catfish po’ boy ($14.99) was a highlight — crisply fried filets slathered with thick tartar sauce on a demibaguette, and the mac and cheese and wedge of cornbread were especially good. " - Eater Staff
"A fast‑casual soul food concept that expanded from New Jersey with a Brooklyn outpost offering classic soul-food dishes in Crown Heights." - Eater Staff
