Catfish King is hands-down the best catfish in Waco. I have tried several places and always come back to this place. Every order is fresh and hot upon arrival. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside - perfection. And no fishy taste! Just deliciousness. Try it Cajun style!!

A longtime favorite, David Beard's Catfish King never disappoints. We shared a Super Catch, a great alternative to burgers, plenty to share. Thanks to the driver being on time, everything was warm and fresh. I'm addicted to the green tomato relish, so we got the big container!

I ordered the Cajun Special Catch & was pretty disappointed. The dasher picked it up & brought it quickly, but it was cold, the fish was tough & tasted old. It was as though it had been sitting on a counter for an hour. The Cajun Beans were excellent, however & I liked that the cole slaw wasn't drowned in mayo. I won't be back. Friday's Cajun Kitchen has FAR BETTER catfish any day of the week.

I'm telling you this place is underrated. The food is actually well cooked and the portions are plentiful for what you're paying. As for the coleslaw it's actually FRESH. You haven't experienced Waco if you haven't had David Beard's Catfish King. I know I will be experiencing it again.
