About This Place

If you're craving authentic Southern seafood in Fayetteville, look no further than Catfish Hole Fayetteville, a beloved local treasure serving up classic, comfort-cuisine delights with a welcoming, down-home atmosphere. Situated on 4127 W Wedington Dr, this seafood restaurant is famed for its generous portions, fresh ingredients, and heartfelt hospitality — everything you want from a true Southern catch spot.

From the moment you sit down, the experience begins with their iconic, never-ending basket of golden hush puppies and tangy pickles, setting the tone for a meal that feels both comforting and indulgent. These hush puppies are a revelation — crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful inside — a perfect companion to almost anything on the menu. Speaking of which, the menu itself is a treasure trove for seafood enthusiasts and comfort food lovers alike.

Their Catfish and Fries is a signature staple: flaky, tender catfish filets expertly fried to a crisp perfection that crunches with every bite, paired with hot, well-seasoned fries. For those looking for a little more variety, the Frog Legs and Catfish Combo presents a delightful southern twist, served alongside fries and bright, tangy green tomato relish that cuts through the richness with piquant flair. Another standout is the Lemon Pepper Trout, baked to juicy perfection with just the right hint of citrus zing.

If fried seafood isn’t your game, Catfish Hole offers a selection of grilled options where robust flavors burst through. The grilled chicken, available in a variety of styles from Cajun to Hawaiian, comes complete with a baked potato, green beans, a warm roll, and the signature fixins’—hush puppies, coleslaw, and tomato relish—rounding out a wholesome, satisfying plate. These choices showcase the kitchen’s versatility and commitment to great Southern flavor, no matter your preference.

On the side, fans rave about the coleslaw, a creamy, crisp counterpoint to the fried items, and the fried okra, a true Southern classic that’s perfectly battered and golden. For something extra indulgent, the combo plates are loaded with shrimp, scallops, onion rings, or snow crab legs — generous portions that never compromise quality or taste.

Beyond the food, the warm, bustling dining area creates an inviting space for families, friends, and travelers alike. Reviews highlight the attentive and friendly staff who go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Whether it’s a casual weekday lunch or post-game dinner stop, Catfish Hole Fayetteville’s easy-going vibe and efficient service complement the outstanding food beautifully.

Countless patrons, from locals to visitors, echo a shared sentiment — this is Southern seafood comfort at its finest. One delighted guest noted how the “hush puppies, tomato relish, and coleslaw are worth the price of admission,” while another praised the restaurant’s capacity to bring people together, easing hardships through comforting food and genuine care.

If your travels bring you through Fayetteville, or if you simply crave some perfectly fried catfish with all the fixings, Catfish Hole Fayetteville is an essential stop. Here, every dish is crafted with love and every meal feels like a celebration of Southern hospitality and flavor.

    We were traveling and it was recommended that we wait and eat at the Catfish Hole in Fayetteville - so we did. Glad we listened to that recommendation. FOOD: First of all they start you with hush puppies and pickles. It’s endless hush puppies and we ate our share. We ordered the catfish and my wife added shrimp to hers and the entire meal was fabulous! The fish was cooked right and the fries were homemade! Excellent food! SERVICE: they shine here! Our waiter took great care of us but there were others who waited on us and helped. Our glasses never got down to half empty and was filled by three different people including our waiter. I love it when people work together as a team! ATMOSPHERE: It’s exactly what you’d imagine a catfish house to be like. If you want high prices and TVs everywhere you’ll need to go elsewhere. If you want good hospitality, great food and an enjoyable dining experience, this is where you need to stop. You can thank me later.

    Hadn't gone there in almost 20yrs. My father passed earlier this yr, and my sister wanted to go after the memorial. So it was nostalgic. Nothing changed, and I mean that in a good way. Catfish was perfect as usual, and the constant hush puppies and pickles are a major plus. Thank you for bringing back memories and keeping the food great. You guys eased a little pain through good food and service. Thank you.

    The hush puppies, tomato relish, and coleslaw are worth the price of admission! The catfish was good…not the best I’ve ever had but solid for a rainy day in Fayetteville before watching the Aggies beat the Hogs! But the wait staff was kind and generous toward us out of town Aggies!

    My first time here and it was fantastic. I’m a Catfish lover and they were fresh, not fishy tasting. The homemade fries and slaw were awesome and the hush puppies were the best I’ve ever had. Everything came out hot and the service was great. Can’t wait to come back!

    We loved it! Southern food at its finest! Catfish Hole has a very large seating area so no wait and a lot of servers so the service is quick and impeccable! Pickles, Pickled Green tomatoes, and amazing Hush Puppies are refilled on your table and they are all delicious!! I had the fried Shrimp that came with French fries. It was excellent and a very large portion! Altogether, a wonderful dining experience!!

    Awesome place—definitely a must-visit! We ordered catfish and frog legs, and both were amazing. They even served complimentary hushpuppies, fixings, and pickles. Everything was superb and absolutely value for money

    I cannot recommend this place enough! The service was the best I have ever had at a restaurant. All of the staff was so friendly. I honestly don't know who our main server was because people kept coming up to see if we needed anything. The food was also amazing. My son got the grilled lemon and pepper salmon and said it was the best thing he has ever had. We will definitely be coming back when we are in the area

    This was one of the first restaurants we ate at after moving to Fayetteville in March. The food is phenomenal. The service is just as good. We LOVE the hush puppies. They’re the best we’ve ever had. We’ve gone back so many times. I’ve eaten their chicken strips, fried catfish and their trout. It’s all been fantastic every single time!
