The Eastern Shore is known for its beautiful scenery, family-friendly recreation and more importantly, its undeniably delicious coastal foods. Though Baldwin County has a huge variety of eateries and food categories, we are most recognized for our top-of-the-line seafood craft dining. You can get some of the best culinary seafood experiences around at many 5-star establishments, but no one can beat the cajun exposure and fast and friendly service like David’s Catfish House. David’s is exceptionally renowned and loved by locals for our savory, multi-option menu spread, but our name speaks for what is adored most and what keeps customers coming back for more: our catfish dishes.
Our locally-owned and operated mom-and-pop shop has been serving smiles and happy bellies since 1983 and has since become a widely successful franchise that has become the heart of every community it serves. Beginning in Mississippi (and you know they know catfish), we graciously spread our culinary talents throughout Alabama and to our coastal shores, continuing to service locals, tourists and everyone in between. Although David’s Catfish House has since expanded, our famous recipes have not changed a bit! We want our customers to recognize where the same great taste comes from and continue to share original dishes from our owners themselves.
Over a quarter-century after opening, our catfish and famous sides have been flying out of the kitchen. In fact, our catfish dish has been named one of the 100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama Before You Die by the Alabama Bureau of Tourism. What really makes this dish so great? First and foremost, David’s Catfish House proudly serves catfish, shrimp, crab claws and oysters purchased from Alabama’s Seafood Capital, Bayou La Batre. Our batters, breading and mixes are also made from scratch daily and from the freshest ingredients available. Our Cajun-inspired, family secret recipes create a savory experience like no other and truly represent where seafood and southern flair meet.
We have outstanding reviews not just for food, but for the friendly service that comes with it. Our staff is ready to serve you with the same southern hospitality that goes into our cooking, treating every customer like family and not just another ticket number. One of our most outstanding features on top of our quality food and service is our curbside and dine-in options. David’s Catfish House is aware and prepared for how times have changed due to the pandemic and strives to meet the demands of our customers. We also understand that with work and family life, time is limited. So you can order online or over the phone to enjoy the same yummy experience that you would if you were sitting inside
Come see what all the buzz is about and experience for yourself the great taste of David’s Catfish House. Get an Alabama-style seafood encounter like no other, with first-class attitudes and service.
