Catfish Dewey's never ceases to amaze. The freshest seafood in large portions for reasonable prices, and great service. Certainly not the fanciest place in town, but people go for the food not the atmosphere. Whether you go for their all you can eat specials or their regular portions, you will never leave hungry.

The waitress was not attentive until I got the manager. Great seafood restaurant for quality, taste, value, and once she was aware, provided good service!

It's a great value for your dollar. The food is delicious and definitely old Florida. This you don't find often around south Fla. Service is very good. Ambiance is dated and dull. I will definitely be back!

First time here after hearing about it for years. Glad we finally made it! Bigger place than I thought. Decorated in a nice Louisiana/seaside theme. But the food and the portions were amazing! Shrimp and grits are a personal favorite-THE BEST I’VE EVER HAD! Loaded with ingredients and tons of shrimp. Their scallops were huge and perfectly done. The server was great and helped us with our food selections-he was right! Great place, we will be back! It certainly lives up to all the hype!

The fried catfish had no flavor. Along with the fried pickles and fried green tomatoes it was way too mushy. The seafood boil and snow crab legs were decent.
