Cherry Creek Catfish

The fried catfish plates are the signature, with grilled or blackened options for a lighter take. The shrimp and crawfish gumbo and the fried green tomatoes are strong supporting picks.

The laid-back dining room and outdoor seating make it an easy family stop. High chairs are available and the menu has plenty of fried favorites kids like.

Takeout is available for the full menu, and online ordering makes pickup simple. The fried baskets travel well for a short drive home.

The restaurant offers catering for gatherings. Call ahead to discuss menu options and headcount for your date.

The chocolate lovers pie with a toasted pecan crust is the standout dessert. Save room if you can.

Beer and wine are available with dinner. It keeps the vibe casual rather than bar-focused.
