Hagy's Catfish Hotel

We took a trip to Pickwick Lake, and saw (on Yelp!, of course) that this was relatively nearby. We followed the GPS directions down The Road to Nowhere until the road suddenly opened up onto a homey-looking restaurant with an amazing river view.
We had a short wait to get in, but it was worth it. To start, we had some of the best onion rings that I've had anywhere. The side salads all came with house made dressings-D said their blue cheese dressing was the best he's eaten. (It sure looked chunky, anyway...) The hushpuppies were delicious, too.
I had shrimp, which were disappointing, and tasted like they might have been frozen. Doug's catfish, however, was delicious!
Was it worth a drive from Memphis? Probably not, but it was worth the 30 minutes from Pickwick. If you're in the area, check it out!

Best food on the river!!

Lives up to the hype!  When I moved to Tennessee, I have a tremendous craving for catfish.  Everybody who I asked for a recommendation pointed me in the direction of Hagy's Catfish Hotel.  Great atmosphere, friendly people and fantastic food!
