If there’s anything Arkansans love it’s small town, locally-owned restaurants. If those restaurants happen to have an extensive and absolutely delicious seafood buffet, all the better. You’re going to find just that at Tadpole’s Catfish Barn. Pleasant Plains has a population of 349 right now, but you might decide to move in once you taste the food at Tadpole’s Catfish Barn.
Tadpole’s Catfish Barn is located at 6201 Batesville Boulevard in Pleasant Plains.
In a tiny town like Pleasant Plains, it's hard to miss Tadpole's.
Tadpole’s Catfish Barn does look kind of like a big, low barn, but you’d probably have a hard time finding fantastic fried catfish in a palace, right? As far as I can tell, all the best catfish comes from the most unassuming places.
The interior of this restaurant is as homey as you could want. The rustic decor is the perfect backdrop for the food you’ll find there.
What we’re here for is the food, right? You’ll find tray after tray of deliciousness on the buffet.
You might want to start with a salad, if you’re into that kind of thing.
After you’re done with your salad, you can fill your plate with delicious fried foods. Like shrimp, for example...
...and frog legs...
...and chicken strips...
...and of course, gorgeous, flaky, golden brown catfish.
The perfect way to end your meal is with a bit of dessert. How does a selection of cobblers sound?
They also do catering, if you're interested in booking them for an event.
