Catfish Country Restaurant - Bartow (FL)

5 /5 Ann Crawford: We stopped in on our way back home from Bok Gardens. Pleasantly surprised at the size of diner. Food was delicious and plentiful. Service was fantastic. I was surprised at how detailed the servers clean each booth after diners leave. They clean all hanging decor and pulled seats out to clean behind seats as well. We will definitely return when we come back to the area.

5 /5 Emily Hahnel: OMG! I absolutely LOVE the Krabby Cakes here - honestly, thats my go-to. But from the Sampler Platter, I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes, fried claim strips, & the wings. Thats not to say the fried pickles, fried onion rings, & fried corn fritters arent good... they are just outshined by the others - hmm, its all so good! Also, if youre a gator-lover (like me), you MUST try the Alligator Nuggets. They are so good, you dont even need a dipping sauce! Finally, I must confess, Im NOT a catfish lover... there are only a few places where Id eat my Catfish & this is definitely on the list - kudos to you guys, thats a hard list to get on, but youre on it now... One more thing - I absolutely LOVE the decor. Its Southern Country style that just makes you feel like youre at home. So clean & comfortable, I almost took a nap. So if youre in the mood for some Southern Comfort food, get yourself to Catfish Country Restaurant & treat yourself to some good eatn!

5 /5 Francisco Diaz: Absolutely loved this country restaurant. The food was incredibly fresh and full of flavor, you can truly tell it’s made with care. What really stood out the most, though, was the staff, unbelievably friendly, welcoming, and genuine. It has that true small-town, hometown feel that’s hard to find these days, especially compared to the Tampa area. Great service, great food, and an overall warm, down-to-earth experience. Highly recommend stopping by if you appreciate quality food and people who actually care.

5 /5 Jairo E: First time here! Very good! Food was really tasty definitely will come back to try some other dishes. Our waitress was very nice and took care of us well. Portion are good size. I recommend this place if you like seafood for sure.

4 /5 Gospel Elvis Timothy: Catfish Country Restaurant is one of the best places around for Southern-style comfort food. The catfish is the star — perfectly seasoned, fried just right, and served hot every single time. Their sides, especially the hush puppies and coleslaw, taste like real homemade cooking. The service is warm and welcoming, and even when the place is busy, the staff stays attentive. The atmosphere feels cozy and local, like a classic Florida country restaurant. Good portions, fair prices, and consistently delicious meals. If you’re craving fresh catfish or classic Southern dishes, this is the spot!
