This was our second time here and after reading reviews we were kinda worked the quality had gone downhill. I definitely has not, the staff was great and very attentive to our larger party. We arrived right when they opened. We started with fried pickles and fried jalapenos. They were fried perfectly and not overly greasy. I ordered the ribeye it was cooked pretty close to what I asked,med rare, and came out hot. The coleslaw was really tasty and freshly made. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and found the portions a perfect size. If you are in the area I definitely recommend you stop in, we drove an hour to get here and feel it was worth it.

Catfish Plantation is a hidden gem that is cozy and quaint. The staff was friendly and very attentive. We decided to order several dishes because honestly we had a hard time picking just one. My absolute favorite appetizer was the meat pies. We ordered one of each and split it. Both were absolutely delicious. The portions are very generous, but you'll want to save some room for dessert. I tried the bread pudding and hubby ordered the peach cobbler. The bread pudding was warm, sweet, and yummy!! If you're ever in Waxahachie, I would definitely recommend popping in for a bite.

Interesting history. The calamari was excellent so was the cheese sticks but the gator is awful. We had chicken fried steak which was good, mashed potatoes are really good, green beans were exceptional but the salad is a complete waste. My friend had the cajun fish and grilled shrimp which she couldn't finish.. oh the regular chicken fried steak is more than big enough unless you eat like a lumberjack. The staff was really sweet, helpful, playful and attentive. I recommend checking it out but call ahead at 50% capacity it fills up quickly.

We drove an hour for lunch here, despite all the negative reviews, but probably will not be back any time soon. Catfish, bread and okra were good, as well as the atmosphere. However, everything else was below average. Service was slow and we had our cups empty for a while. Place should have been much cleaner than it was. Crabcake, shrimp and coleslaw were pointless to order.

A Jem in the middle of Waxahachie, TX! An old Victorian House repurposed to be a restaurant, you can almost miss it as it is so inconspicuously located in the middle of suburbia with no big signs. The ambiance is cozy. The staff are amazing. The food omg is to die for! You have to try the catfish platters and the gator bites. Great place for a date or a family/ friends gathering

We really enjoyed our first visit to Catfish Plantation! The old house location is super quaint, and the ghost stories associated with the location add a fun and spooky air as well. The food and service were both great! The Cajun-style catfish was absolutely delicious, as was the bread pudding! We will definitely be back, and would recommend to anyway visiting Hachie.

I really, really wanted to love this place. I went on Halloween. The service was very slow. She wasn't at all empathetic when I got sick from the food. The appetizers I got made me so sick I couldn't touch my entree, and I didn't take any of it to go I felt so awful. She just gave us the bill and hurried us out. Maybe I had an unusual experience, but I will not be going back. The appetizers below are the fried pickles with spicy cajun dip and fried green tomatoes with buffalo ranch dip.

Food was very good. Atmosphere is amazing! Beautiful restaurant. I didn't have any paranormal experiences, however I can say that I had a really weird feeling in the ladies restroom. Kinda unsettling. As of I was being watched. Neat place overall. Definitely worth the drive to Waxahachie.
