The Unassuming Restaurant In Mississippi That Serves The Best Fried Catfish You’ll Ever Taste
Jerry's Catfish House in Florence, Mississippi, serves some of the best fried catfish in the state.
Catfish is one of Mississippi's most iconic foods, and our state has tons of restaurants that know how to fry it up right. There's one unassuming little place in Florence that might just be the very best, though. Take a look!
Head to Florence for the best fried catfish in Mississippi. You'll find Jerry's Catfish House at 3326 Highway 49 S., Florence. It's not much to look at from the outside...
...but the inside is quirky and fun.
You'll find plenty of seating, thanks to the upstairs balcony. If you arrive much past 5:00 pm on a weekend night, expect a wait. Don't worry - it's worth it!
The catfish served here is all grown locally, supporting local business.
The catfish is seasoned perfectly, lightly breaded, then fried up just right. It's tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside.
The most popular way to get your catfish here is the All You Can Eat dinner. They'll bring you catfish, French fries, coleslaw and hushpuppies...then keep bringing more and more until you tell them to stop.
Do you prefer whole catfish to filets? They do that, too!
Jerry's Catfish House is open just four days a week - from Thursday through Sunday.
Visit Thursday from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm; Friday and Saturday from 4:30 pm to 9:30 pm; Sunday from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm.
