Minden Seafood - Minden (LA)

3 /5 Carlene Melton: Meh. We are from Ponchatoula and are up here visiting the area. While shopping today, someone recommended we give this place a try…hubs and I both love catfish and oysters. We were both a bit disappointed. Nothing wrong with “holes in the wall”, and maybe being from down south we had higher expectations. One of the servers was friendly, the other wasn’t. Other reviews give this place a good review for cleanliness but I cannot. I won’t mention what I saw, because I didn’t leave, but cleanliness is not at the top of the list. Not sure when we will ever be back to Minden, but we won’t be back here.

1 /5 Christine Warren: The service was great the food not so much. The corn was last weeks and should have been tossed to the hogs. The cook did bring me a fresher piece. The coleslaw was finely ground like coffe grounds. No teeth required to eat it. We didnt. Just awful!! The fish abd shrimp was bland like something served in a nursing home. Hushpuppies were refried and bland. The fries were ok. Its a clean and friendly place but the food is in need of seasoning.

1 /5 Steve Moore: Guess I was invisible today. Stood in front of the cash register for a good 5 minuets. Lady looked at me several times never took my order. People came after me she quickly took care of them. My money is good, shame I had to leave to go spend it elsewhere. First time in my 54 years ever being completely ignored. Wont be back

4 /5 Samuel Patton: This is one of the closest restaurants to where I live but it has taken me two years to give it a try. I called ahead and ordered a Whole Catfish Plate. I still had to wait a bit once I arrived so I wandered around the building checking it out. You can buy fresh seafood and the seasonings to fix it. The dining room consists of two rooms but it seems most people get it to go. The Catfish Plate includes a pound of catfish which was 4 whole fish in my case. It also includes fries, slaw, & hush puppies. The catfish was good and cooked well but I thought it could have used a bit more seasoning. Im pretty sure the tartar sauce was from a bottle. (Im a fan of a great homemade tartar sauce) The slaw was pretty good. My daughter loved it but I prefer the slaw at Dorcheat. The catfish lays on a pile of fries in the styrofoam box. The fries were just fries and didnt stand out in any way. Its a lot of food and I shared this plate with my wife & daughter. The plate cost me $14 with tax. Would I go back? Im sure I will since its close to the house but if Im craving catfish, my favorite in the area is Dorcheat.

5 /5 Wendy: Stopped in for lunch yesterday for the first time. Definitely will be going back. Food was fantastic. Best burger in Minden. My husband had the fish po boy and he loved it. Place was very clean and staff was very friendly.
