Specialties

Davids Catfish House, For the Best in Mississippi Catfish and Gulf Seafood

History

Established in 2002.

We opened for business in 2002 serving the famous catfish, coleslaw, hushpuppies and cheese grits from the original David’s in Monroeville, Alabama. Over the years we have improved the menu, dining rooms, kitchen and parking lot. We think we have created a nice little hometown catfish and seafood restaurant and we hope you will agree.

Good food and great service. Nothing fancy, just plan olé fried seafood. We went there for their fried catfish and it was good!

They have really good coleslaw, that’s about it. I feel that the place definitely isn’t worth the hype. If you don’t like seafood, definitely stay away because they’re choices for the land lover are extremely limited and what they do have tastes (and probably is) just frozen food you can get at any hole in the wall.

Not too shabby! Huge servings and deep fried goodness. If you’re looking for deep fried catfish and hush puppies this place fits the bill. Nothing fancy, but they do it right!

Had some of the best fried catfish and shrimp! The very best fried oysters! Jessica was our server, she was friendly and truly cared that we enjoy our experience! All in all a perfect evening!

We travel from central Florida to the Alabama Gulf Coast with David’s in mind for our meal on the road. Good value great catfish, coleslaw and service. And guess what, this time we were fortunate enough to have Jessica as our server. The other girls seemed adequate but we observed no one who seemed to enjoy what they were doing the way Jess did.

While on vacation we tried this place. The food was good and so was the value.
But what really impressed us was our waitress Jessica, she was funny, bright, sweet, and really seemed to care if we were having a good dinning experiance. Thanks again Jessica.

Look, it’s a maybe, go for the food, but be aware that they have at least 50,000 rules you MUST FOLLOW! But the catfish are good and hot, crispy, the way I like them! But the service was terrible! Our waitress was rude! But give it a shot, I may have gone on a bad day!

Pretty basic, no beer but good food. Jackie was exceptional as our waitress. Cocktail and tartar sauce tasted homemade and the breaded shrimp were just right. Cheese grits were good too. Might try the all you can eat next time.

Quintessential low country catfish house. Their coleslaw is the best this Florida girl has ever had. Coatings on fried fish is light and crunchy – go for it!

If you like all you can eat catfish, whole or filet, this is the place. Country place, nothing fancy, but a good deal

Came here for dinner my first night on vacation and wouldn’t shut up talking about it all week, so this is were we went for my last night on vacation too. Sorry, bro. Anyway, I’ve never eaten really eaten catfish — except in the Peruvian Amazon, go figure — because I always hear about them being bottom feeders and trash fish. But the catfish here is SO good — perfectly fried, generous sizes, and so so moist and flavorful. The first time I went for the AYCE (all you can eat) with the catfish and popcorn shrimp for $ 15 (comes with 2 sides). I only could manage one go since there was so much food. The second time I opted for the catfish and jumbo shrimp combo — about the same generous amount of food for a dollar less.

Great food, good price. Fried catfish is definitely the thing to order. Pretty basic but never had a bad piece in the 3+ times I’ve been. Beans are very sweet, as is the coleslaw, but that’s how I like my southern sides! Hush puppies are also on par.

Before dining at David’s I was told they are world class when it comes to catfish. I’d have to disagree. If there were a 2.5 star, it would be a better fit for their rating. I ordered the «all you can eat «catfish and the first serving was about as good as it gets,…my second serving was overcooked and dripping with grease. I figured they kept all the rejected pieces of catfish for anyone who dared request a second helping. Their coleslaw isn’t bad, but has about the same consistency as their cheese grits. Service was OK, but was almost too fast. I felt like we were rushed through their process to get more customers in the door. Our waitress was over familiar with some customers as she sat down and chatted with them at their table. Would I go back? Yes. Would I be excited? No.

Basically a slightly better than average fried fish house. The food was good and the service was even better! If your feeling fried fish, check out Davids.
A solid 3.5 star for sure!

I really don’t understand why this place gets so much attention. The atmosphere feels like a cafeteria, and the food was great and just below average. We won’t be returning.

David’s was voted Best of the Best for catfish, and my husband and I decided to drive out to Milton to try it. I ordered the lunch special of two catfish fillets, fries and coleslaw. My husband got the catfish fillet with fried oysters.
His plate had one fillet and 4 oysters for $ 9.49 which I think is over priced. He thought the catfish was watery and had no flavor as did I. I also thought the coleslaw had an off flavor that I did not like but others might.
The service was exceptional though. Sharla was our server, and she was attentive making sure we were doing okay.
I won’t go back unless I move to Milton as I don’t think it’s worth it.

I understand why they got the «best in the bay» award for their food. Great service and delicious catfish!
The coleslaw and sweet tea is delicious as well (:
