I was pleasantly surprised when I ate here. I ordered Catfish and fries and it was delicious. The dinner also came with hush puppies and spaghetti. The hush puppies were delish. I gave the spaghetti to a co-worker since I don't eat beef, so I can't rate it. I definitely recommend this place

Stopped by for lunch homecoming weekend. Haven't eaten here since the 80's. Brought back so many memories as this was one of my grandparents favorite spots to bring the grandkids. The food was fantastic. Everything is cooked hot and fresh and the portions are huge. I can see why this place is this in business.

We visited Catfish Galley on the spur of the moment and we are so glad we did! We got the most amazing waitress, named Pam, who had a heart of gold and a passion to serve with a friendly smile and a kind word. She brought us out the best hushpuppies we've EVER eaten and they were hot and fresh too! Then our meal came out. The Catfish, shrimp, scallops and crab was all amazing. We will definitely be making the 45 minute drive back to Jackson to enjoy another meal at Catfish Galley, but we'll make sure Pam is working that night.

Catfish galley never disappoints, Mike and his staff are always so nice. My 6 year old grandson will only eat catfish from the galley, won't even try it any where else. Always great food, and fast for as busy as they are
