This was our first time at The Mermaid Cafe and it certainly will not be our last. Each dish was perfection and the staff was excellent! The Stuffed Catfish in particular was amazing!

Atmosphere is ok! Manager (Matt Taylor) is very rude! I order some food and it wasn’t what I expected it to be. I politely asked to send it back. She accepted it. Although, I did not eat it. I was still charged and he stated that’s not how WE do things. He stated, “the menu say what it is, so.” I told him I didn’t touch it and he was very rude and dismissive. I will NEVER be back!

My family and I visited to celebrate my Aunt's birthday. The food, the waiter and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great! We sat on the front porch of the restaurant as we awaited our party to be seated inside the restaurant. The view of the lake is breathtaking and so relaxing! I will definitely be back to visit! I ordered the stuffed catfish and it was delicious! I also ordered the fudge brownie to-go and I highly recommend both!

A good little spot that could go casual or fancy depending on your preference. I got two specials- the soup, a mushroom one that was super tasty and a baked Brie with pepper jelly, toasted walnuts and pita bread. The mermaid splash was tasty- super sweet. Overall good, I just wish there was an outdoor seating option, the weather and sunset would have been perfect for that!
