My boss and weâre in town on business and decided to grab some lunch before we moved on further south. After a quick phone search, we were pulling in the parking lot. Our lunch was amazingly good and we definitely didnât leave hungry! BBQ, sausage, slaw, baked beans, potato salad, and more, wow! It was all great! If I am every in town again, this will be my first choice when it comes lunch time! Great Hometown Restaurant!

One time my order was off and they gave me free meals to make up for it. I eat there frequently and am almost always very pleased. The food is fresh and tasty. The service is quick and the servers are friendly. My favorites are the French dip sandwich and harvest chicken salad sandwich. Be sure to try the chicken and dumpling soup. It tastes like your grandmas.

Not sure about the rest of the week, but Thursday's are good. They have fried and grilled pork chops with country sides on Thursdays. They also offer discounts to law enforcement, (they need a break), which also means it is a secure place to eat. Fortunately we arrived early. There is plenty of seating, but apparently they fill up quickly on certain days. Price was also reasonable.

A guy I work with and myself stopped in here for lunch. He got a salad which he said was awesome (it looked good, and was huge). I got a burger and chips, which was very good. They don't have any fryers so you won't get French fries or most 'normal' bar food. The bartenders told us they have a lot of vegetarian options for people (it seems like they said vegan as well, but I'm not 100% sure) to bring in people. The bartenders were awesome refilling soft drinks and the overall service was great. They were fun to talk with and gave us advice on what to see. I would definitely go back!

The portions were a smidge inconsistent, the Caesar salad was HUGE, meanwhile my husbandâs fish and veggies were so small, that he had to order a second entree... all that said - we fed a family of 4, with three adult entrees, 2 glasses of wine and a kids dessert for less than we would have eaten at Chiliâs. It was great food - the burger buns were delicious. Yum!

I had the herb roasted chicken sweet potatoes and corn bread. Always very tasty with friendly service. Come early as they only make so much a day and then it's gone. Great local place with a homey atmosphere.

Things I've never had at The Catfish Wagon: greasy food, soggy food, cold food, tasteless food, poor service, sticker shock. It's family owned and operated and caters to families-lots of them-it's a big place and can pack in a crowd without sacrificing quality and service. Traditionally rustic decor, classic catfish house menu. Our out-of-state friends love to go here and get the true Mississippi catfish house experience. They feature the whole fish or the fillets, but you can get a nice big plate of shrimp or oysters, and a good burger or hamburger steak with gravy. A meal comes with outstanding coleslaw, hush puppies, fries or a baked potato. No alcohol...have the iced tea, sweet or not, both are good-not that wimpy watery stuff. The fried food is always hot and crispy, never greasy. My favorites are the catfish fillets and the fried shrimp and I've been known to take a pint of coleslaw home. You might have to wait for a table on a really busy night or on Sunday after church, but never very long, and once you get seated it moves quickly...tea and coleslaw right away with piping hot food to follow. I'm pretty sure they offer dessert, but I'm always too full for that to be an option. Never had a bad experience, and I've been here many, many times.

T-Bones is a welcoming spot for everyone! Shop for vinyls while you wait on your food or sit back and enjoy live music during Jazz Brunch on Sundays. As a non-coffee drinker, I can say that the cold brews are a can't miss item on the menu. Order a power salad or chicken salad sandwich and finish off with a homemade oreo bar. Indoor/outdoor seating

We always stop here when travel this way and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious, portions are large, service is great, and prices are not cheap but reasonable for the value received. We started with fried crab claws which were plump and delicious. Todayâs special was grilled mahi mahi for me and a cheeseburger for the wife. I love their salads and the mahi was perfectly cooked. The cheese burger was accompanied by grilled onions and fried onions on a wonderful homemade bun. We barely had room for the white chocolate bread pudding. But we did and it was delicious. Never had a bad meal here!!

We love the huge selection of great beers they always have on tap. The food is great for sitting outside in the front porch or under the trees out back. We usually get some of the speciality hamburgers with everyone getting something different. We all left full and enjoyed the easy breezy outside dining.
