Reviews
Dixie Catfish has been around as long as I can remember and I'm old! The place is clean and well cared for, however it doesn't have that new feel but it's clean and a great place to eat. The service is always good and the tea is as good as it gets. From anything fried to the burgers you can't go wrong. The prices are fair to the portion size. Smothered fries are another favorite they may sound unappealing but once you try them you will change your mind. The Philly is good but for me stay with the fried anything. So next time your at the close by at the casino and decide you want a bite drop in and tell them that "Phatt Panda - 1/2Time" sent ya. It won't get you anything but it will let them know that I did as I said I would and wrote them a great review.

Yum! Family ordered a variety of items and everything was great! From the cheeseburger to the shrimp gumbo and shrimp poboy. Bring cash as they charge a 4% fee to use a credit card.
Best catfish that I've had in a long time and the salad was very good as well. A bit pricey but scratched my catfish itch.
Love eating here. The food is always great. We've eaten several different items and they have always been delicious.
