Charlie's Catfish House

The food was delicious!! Trey and I both ordered the fried catfish. They only serve whole catfish no fillets. They also have fried or boiled shrimp and fried oysters. All meals are served with coleslaw, french fries, onions, lemon slices and hush puppies. The meal came with 2 LARGE whole catfish that were more than enough to fill up anyone. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly and I would definitely go back there to eat again. So if you are ever in Ellisville, MS be sure to stop in and have a great meal at Charlie's Catfish House!

It's a "must go" in Ellisville, Ms. Is it the best food you will ever eat? No but it's a place you will remember. It is a bit of a hole in the wall place across from the county jail but it's a classic. Clean environment, friendly service, fresh catfish... What more could you want? Go alone or take a group, have a good time and soak up the local charm!

This is your typical Mississippi catfish dive restaurant with a simple menu focusing on catfish.  They don't do filets of catfish here and only serve it whole on the bone.  They also have some of the best boiled shrimp in the area but sadly that's not saying much as it is pretty bland and really could use some garlic and a lot more seasoning.  They have the typical catfish house coleslaw drowning in mayonnaise but it is still decent along with a few more fried seafood choices.   I think my favorite things here are the hushpuppies and french fires.  They only take cash and the service is often unacceptably slow.  The ambiance is a concrete block building with a large open space crammed full of tables which makes it get really loud in here when its crowded and it gets crowded often .
