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!
Good for catfish and that's about it. Seems like a lot of fried goodness here, nothing really fresh and refreshing. Â A good cucumber salad would've been nice.
The small biscuits and hush puppies were great! Chicken tenders were nothing spectacular. Country ham looked like it had been reused and re-served from customer to customer. Â The caramel pie was exactly that, tasted just like melted caramel candy bits topped with some whipped cream and nuts. Â After my meal, I felt diabetes and high blood pressure developing. Â Not a place for vegetarians either.
The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, the river is nearby, would've been more scenic if it actually sat on the rivers edge. Â Probably won't return if I'm in the area, that is unless they start frying less and start using fresh!
Sure, it's fried. Nothing on the menu here is what you'd call healthy. If healthy food means good restaurant, then you're living or vacationing in the wrong region of the country. This is a fun place in a gorgeous location on the river with a regional reputation for being the best at serving up fried catfish, hush puppies, etc. You can also get your catfish grilled if you prefer. Yes, the coleslaw is heavy on mayo, but isn't that the definition of coleslaw? I've been on a health kick as of late, so I don't go here much anymore - but that doesn't mean you shouldn't if you want great fried catfish at reasonable prices in a beautiful, historic and interesting location.
Review Source:Went here while visiting family in Savannah. Â I'm not a fan of catfish, but my husband loves it. Â I got the chicken salad, which is delicious. Â They make their own salad dressings. Â Love the hush puppies! Â The prices are a bit high, but it's a good occasional dinner. Â It's near the Shilo Civil War museum and park, which is pretty neat. Â I disagree that nothing here is healthy. Â They have salads and baked potatoes which are not deep fried. Â Of course they are a catfish place, so the options for non-fried items are not many, but there are a few.
Review Source:Not a fan of catfish? Or any fried greasy unhealthy food for that matter? Â Then stay away. Â They don't even serve salad unless you consider heavy on the mayo coleslaw a "green." Â I only dined here because it was the only and closest restaurant around. But if you love fried foods, this is the place to come and get it.
Review Source:If you're looking for a swallow-your-tongue catfish dinner, then look no further than the Catfish Hotel in Shiloh. Located just north of Shiloh National Military Park the restaurant is located on the banks of the Tennessee River and affords fantastic views and a rustic, down home character. It somewhat reminds me of a Cracker Barrel without the corporate feel.
I've eaten my weight in catfish here over the course of my time on this little blue rock and have never had a bad meal. Â Tonight was no different; the catfish was hot and fresh with a cornmeal batter that is to die for. Â Kathy had the melt-in-your-mouth baby back ribs while mom had a ribeye that was cooked to perfection. Â Homemade hush puppies, their own original-recipe cole slaw, a dinner salad and ice cold sweat tea rounded out the meal. Â
As good as that was, the Pièce de résistance was the incredible, rich, mind blowing Lemon Rub Pie (otherwise known as Chess Pie), a recipe dating back to when the original owners settled this piece of ground in 1838.
Great atmosphere, fantastic food and a genuinely friendly wait staff make this place one of my all time favorite restaurants.
