Went to Batesville from North Arkansas for the day. Decided to go to Fred's because there was a restaurant with the same name where we lived and we wanted to compare. Big surprise...no relation. Anyway, my date ordered the "Big 'Un" (six pieces of catfish) with "all the trimmins" (brown beans, Cole slaw, green tomato relish, and hush puppies) I ordered the seafood platter (four pieces of fried catfish, three shrimp...I chose grilled)and a baked potato. The beans, Cole slaw, relish, and 3 hush puppies (she said they were making more) were brought to our table in separate individual bowls. The beans were bland and barely warm. The Cole slaw was good, but there was not much of it. The relish was unexpectedly sweet, so I didn't care for it. About 10 minutes later, our dinner plates were brought out, with steam coming off the meal. I unwrapped my baked potato to put (fake) butter and a packet of sour cream on it, and the butter didn't even melt. The potato tasted like it had been cooked many hours prior, and kept warm in a pan of water. Unimpressed, I put a fork full of fish dipped in tartar sauce in my mouth, and had to immediately grab my ice water, because it was so hot I couldn't even chew it! After the burn faded, I noticed a distinct muddy taste to the catfish. I switched to my shrimp (tail on), hidden under my catfish. It was highly seasoned and somewhat slimy, and lukewarm. I was so disappointed, I ate my potato, shrimp, and what was left of the first piece of fish. I left the other three pieces uneaten (we took them home to our German shepherd, and she didn't like them, either!). My date said his fish tasted wet (soggy), but his french fries were tasty. About halfway through our meal, our server brought another basket of nearly burnt hush puppies, which were not even good enough to take home! Our meal for two (only one drink, iced tea) was over $30, and i left hungry. We were both very disappointed, and will not return the next time we visit Batesville. The sign claims they have the "best catfish and hush puppies in Arkansas". I beg to differ.
Great staff and awesome food
Love, peace, and catfish grease! Love, love, love this place. I have loved it since I was little when it was in Cord, AR. You won't find better hush puppies ANYWHERE! Their fried AND grilled catfish is amazing!!!
