The fish is always cooked perfectly & it's always good. I started out with catfish filet but my friends like big bone buffalo ribs. I love it too now. In other words, it's .

Omg, this place brought back SO MANY wonderful memories. The best fried buffalo fish I have had in my life, it has been at least over 50 years since I’ve eaten fried buffalo fish and now oh my gosh I think I may have to go back every day of my trip. Keep doing what you’re doing because you all are great at it! My mom and dad who are no longer here loved fried buffalo and it was a treat to have it so thank you for the memories.

Possibly the best catfish in the city. It's an intimate and friendly spot. Charmingly old school. Don't let the exterior fool you it's great inside. The awards pictured show I am not exaggerating! They have adapted well to the COVID precautions.

This place is a must if your in LR. I took my mom for lunch (to go) after her eye surgery and everything was delicious. She got a medium buffalo meal and I got half buffalo and half catfish steak. We both got okra and slaw, tomato relish and a side pickles and onion. We were too hungry to take a picture but I snapped a pic of the menu for the next time I go.

Great service and quality catfish. None better in Pulaski County. A tradition and common eatery locals will always appreciate. Best tasting fish in the Rock. Deliciously appetizing and reasonably priced.

Small place but the food is very very good. I had memories of buffalo cat i use to get with my grandmother back in Memphis. The seasoning is just right and the fried okra was perfect. Ordered for my family as well and and all I heard was chewing and smacking . Everyone was pretty content. Service was very good too and they had polite armed security there as well. We will definitely be going back!

I love this place! I had the catfish steaks. They were tender and meaty with a perfect crunch. The hushpuppies were the best I have ever had. I need to see if I can order a basket of those next time. Fries were crisp on the outside and tender inside. Hospitality was incredible. This is my favorite catfish place in LR. There's nothing better. Period.

I really miss the fish at Lassis In . Simple menu but so tasty. I wish Mr. Washington the best. It was a Little Rock icon to those who went there on a regular basis. I had hoped he would find someone to take over if he couldn’t continue. Tastiest fried fish in town. Haven’t found anywhere else that compares.
