The Catfish Cafe

What a treasure hidden in Buffalo, MO. Worth taking the road less traveled to enjoy this local cuisine. Food was heavenly, reasonably priced. Waitress was exceptionally friendly, and cooks and kitchen staff served food quickly even though it was busy. Even the local folks we're friendly. We felt so welcome. Highly recommend this place and hope to visit again.

This was the first time that we have eaten here. We'll start off by saying that the staff are super nice. The dining room seems very clean. There is a significant problem with flies though. While my son and I were trying to eat, we were constantly having to shoo flies away from our food. The tomato relish was really good! I think it is basically like a sweet-pickled green tomato. Very tasty! The coleslaw was really good. The fries were very good. We got an appetizer of fried dill pickles and they also were very good. The catfish? I can say I've definitely had better, as well as worse. For a farm-raised catfish, it really has a fishy, muddy taste to it. Not all pieces were that way, but enough to make it undesirable. The coating was really good, seasoned well. Not very spicy though. They have a really nice looking menu. That being said, I will go back and try other things on the menu, just not the catfish again. Price was fair.
