David Beard`s Catfish King in Mount Pleasant

Good tasting food but very slow drive thru

I live in Dallas but east is my roots. Love the fish.

Fish and shrimp was good, very small portions of fish and shrimp where they were slivers of fish heavily battered. All you can salid bar made up for it though. Everything fresh and good selection too which came with the $10 meal.

This place has the best salad bar in this area.

Awesome onion rings. The grilled catfish offers a more healthy dish and tastes very fresh. The salad bar is the best in town. Peach cobbler is yummy. Atmosphere kinda fast food like.

The cajun fish was on the hard side but the shrimp and oysters were amazing. Good place

Great staff super friendly I came in with my four kids and they made them fresh baked cookies

Good for the most part. Fried shrimp is small but hand breaded. Lettuce salad not fresh signs of brown aging. But other salad items on bar is good. Fish is good.

We got curb side service and the food was delicious

Had theirl fried catfish with cornmeal. It was good, but I would have liked it better if fried a little browned. Fries and Coleslaw were very good also.

Last time we were here it was excellent, still can’t review food but the people skills are lacking!! We got my elderly mother in on a walker which is a hard job. They stood and watched us get inside and never mentioned the fact that 5 was too many to eat together. Would not let us move a chair so therefore we just left and will never return! Just happened today we had 5 usually have 13 so we won’t bring our business back there

Always stop here, for the catfishs! They've gone back to the city style hush puppy's, which are great, not as heavy, but not corn meal either! Can get pricey, but can keep it low, and they have a decent salad bar!

Love love this place!! Great people great food! Would recommend to anyone!

Fish was cold and a bit soggy. Same with the hush puppies. Just not a fan. Wait staff and servers are nice.

Great customer service. Food is great.

They were running behind taking orders, & I had to wait at in the drive-thru while the person got "caught up" before taking my order. What should have been golden-brown fried catfish was white strips without flavor. This is not typical of Catfish King, but it was definitely a disappointing dinner once you've gotten home, gotten comfy, and opened up the carry-out box. The food is almost always pretty great, but it is definitely important to look inside the box before you drive away from the window.

Always hot and fresh ...best Salad bar in town

Thirty five dollars worth of nasty I bet the ratcoons turned there 👃 up

Good food fish served very hot salad bar great too 👍

People were great, chicken fried steaks weren't. I had them before and they were A1. In fact i got the chicken fried steak sandwich, and they said tarter sauce was their secret sauce. Cant tell if its the bread because they are pretty steaks. Fish is always good!!

Oysters were horrible, catfish was dry. Staff was very inattentive. Salad bar was the best part of our meal sadly. Staff were more worried about horse playing and chatting at the counter than taking orders and getting them out quickly. Usually we have a very good experience all the way around. We were very disappointed this time. Grandmother was excited to get in from west Virginia for her hometown favorite catfish king. But sadly she didn't get the experience she was hoping for.

The food was a lot better then the last time I came. I give 4 stars due to a lot of dirty tables and only 1 person cleaning them.

Horrible service definitely would look elsewhere

Good food, friendly people. Love the fresh salad bar.

Great food and service cajun fillets are the best salad bar is very good.

Great food and great service at a very reasonable price. Love this place.

I should have gotten all Cajun fish.

Make no difference what you get it's all good & good service to go with the meal.

Always good had regular catch with baked potato, nothing left!

Great catfish. They have a drive thru which is a PLUS during covid19. Food was hot and fresh. This plate was about $11 (Cajun regular catfish dinner which includes hushpuppies, coleslaw, rice/beans mix and 6 catfish and fries). Will return when I'm back in Mount Pleasant

Food is good but i waited 20 minutes for it. Then....the order was wrong. So with Covid you cant go in and you have to wait out front for your food to brought to your car. Employee was gone already so I had to go back through the drive thru to get the order corrected. Not happy after a 12 hr shift.😒

Such a great place to get food from. Love the fish. Coleslaw and green tomato relish. Onion rings really great.

Their grilled chicken was good, not dried out. This is not my favorite type of restaurant, not a fan of corn meal fried fish. They refused to allow you to change fried for baked or grilled fish or chicken in the combo meal, that was wrong, as long as they offer baked or grilled fish or chicken on the individual meals they should allow you that options.

Over 40 years I enjoyed David Beards

Great fish and fresh salad makings. Friendly staff. Always go an enjoyable lunch stop.

Food was out fast.. it was busy workers kept buffet area full

I really Love this place the fish was awesome

Clean, friendly, good food, what more could you ask for? Staff serves plates after you order at the bar. All you can eat salad bar and two types of pinto beans you serve yourself. Decor is antique rustic Texas and this establishment has been around for a long time. Will definitely return for another meal soon!!

Food was good but not great. not alot of seasoning. Price was reasonable. Place was clean. No pitch to you win here. I would go again.

Hubby was wanting something different from hamburgers for tacos. He ordered the shrimp and chicken tenders plate and I got the grilled chicken breast dinner with a baked potato. The salad was a little wilted on my plate because the chicken was freshly grilled and tasted so good! Love the lemon pepper seasoning they used! A very nice change from the fast food places in Mt Pleasant, Texas!!!

Fishing 🐟 is good , but even better eating fish at Catfish King 😋 cooked the way you like it.

I have never seen such childish behavior in a restaurant. In my hour of eating here there was never any less than 4 employees playing in the salad bar area. Laughing and cutting up not to mention playing in the food instead of doing their jobs. There were 8 tables that were very dirty and none of the employees seemed to notice. While one employee did walk around with the rag. But didn’t seem to notice the food on all empty tables. Totally unexceptable.

Good food. Clean. Nice people

Love it. Nice salad bar and nice people. Great Catfish.

Fish was more like crust than fish. Come on people put more fish in your product. Not a bunch of batter hello??? Also the hush puppies were hush alright, keep hush that they were rock hard and wayyyy over cooked. It will be a long time coming before I go back. Maybe never. Well at least the beans were good lol

Great service! Fish and oysters are delicious. Big portions. I would recommend.

My mom is a picky salad eater, but this salad bar won her heart and the sweet tea was perfect for her taste buds

Great place to eat! Great catfish!

Best catfish around. If you want fish and not crust that looks like fish check'em out. Beans, coleslaw, fries, hushpuppies, salad and plate lunches are a great price for a lot of food. Cant be beat when it comes to fresh catfish.

Great place just don't eat the peach cobbler. Tastes like bacon grease
