Carl’s Catfish Hut

So glad this place reopened in Oakdale. It’s managed by husband and wife team. The husband cooks and the wife is the waitress. Awesome service and food. They also have crawfish on the weekends during the season at the best prices in Oakdale. Catfish is perfectly tender and the salad bar is a nice touch for free. Large dining area

Okay so let me start off by saying I do not like to leave bad reviews. I was truly looking forward to eating here as I’m from out of town and had heard great things. Upon walking in there was no one at the counter which no biggie it happens. We waited a bit and someone peaked from the back and said she would be right with us. We took a minute to look at the menu they had on their front desk counter top. When the server walked up she informed us that the menu we were looking at was from the 50s and that the prices weren’t the same. We asked for a menu and she told us they were on the wall. On the wall was just dishes they served with no prices. We asked for the prices and she rolled her eyes and started to list a few things off but what upset me was that she lead with “the cheapest thing th

Everytime I'm visiting from Texas I make sure to eat at Carl's! The food is on point every-single-time! Wether it's the delicious fried catfish, which I always order "thin & crispy", or any of the shrimp (fried, grilled or boiled) you can't go wrong! The staff is always so nice & the restaurant & bathrooms are very clean! Bonus you can hardly find anywhere to eat seafood this good at such a great price and with huge portions! Go visit Carl's, you won't be disappointed!

It’s just like we remembered it. My mama worked at carls in glenmora for as long as I can remember and Parrish has honored his dad’s legacy for sure. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is relaxed. Madelyn is the best waitress we have ever had. Make sure you ask for her section and tip her good! Also check out that cute guy that works in the kitchen. His name is Nathan. 😘Excellent experience all the way around.

This was outstanding! The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy and nostalgic. I had visited the one in glenmora a lot as I grew up, and this brought back old memories. It was fun to throw the peanuts on the floor. (If you know you know) Our waitress was friendly and took out Picture happily. This place really shows southern hospitality. Can't believe this place has a single one-star review. Would come back again and again.
