Several of my friends raved about the fried catfish at Fish River Grill so today we met up for a late lunch. Coming in from the afternoon heat, the place was cool and very comfortable while we ate. I ordered the catfish filets while the others ordered the catfish strips. The swamp soup that came with our meal was very tasty greens beans cooked in chicken broth. A bowl of this would be so awesome on a cold winter night. My catfish filets were crispy fried in cornmeal and were very good. I tried a fried catfish strip from my friend's plate and liked it better than the filet. The strips were not fried for as long as the filets and were a little softer. Their homemade jalapeño hush puppies were excellent light, fluffy spicy. The service was good, our food took about 15 minutes, their prices were reasonable there was plenty of food we all needed boxes for leftovers. I plan to be back for their delicious looking Bushwacker (I saw one delivered to the table next to us).

Inside is very nice, wait staff was great. Food was very good. OMG was huge and delicious. Salad and tea were perfect too. Swamp soup is good but beans need to be cooked more. Their cole slaw is pitiful. Diced and chopped to cabbage mush. But everything else was wonderful.
