Twin Lakes Catfish Kitchen - Burns

Great food. I love the family style serving and friendly atmosphere. Great crunchy fried catfish!!!

Have ate here as a local for over 30 years. Has always been known as a great place to eat catfish, if not the best. Sadly, lately I cannot say that. Fish is hard, thin over cooked and greasy. Too bad the original owner retired and sold out. Will not be going back anytime soon.

The Great: May well be the absolute best hush puppies I've ever had in my life. I literally could have sat there and eaten nothing else. we also had frog legs as an app and they were perfectly done. The Good: the sides were all good. Mayo slaw, white beans, fries. the bad: the catfish was all over cooked. Both the whole fish and fillets. Was very disappointing considering the frog legs were cooked just right. Also thought the batter wasn't what you typically find. Seemed to have less cornmeal to flour ratio. Also, hot fish wasn't hot at all. tarter sauce tasted like mayo with pickle relish mixed in. a good start, but where's the rest?

The spicy catfish was spot on. It was crispy and delicious but not too spicy at all. It probably could have been a little more spicy. I would definitely go back.

My family is from Dickson, and every since I was a little kid every time we come to visit we make it a point to come to Catfish Kitchen. I always get the half order of catfish fillet, usually with a baked potato, and I have NEVER been disappointed. No joke, some of the best catfish I have had in my life! I was able to go last week while visiting, and tried the spicy catfish fillet for the first time. The breading was a little thicker than their regular fillet, but crisp and full of flavor without being overly spicy. The sides are served family style, which is dangerous for me, because I could easily take down a family's worth of creamy coleslaw, white beans with red pepper relish, and hushpuppies before my catfish even has an opportunity to get to the table. Those hushpuppies..... soooooo good! Nice and crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Large parking lot out front with the iconic Catfish statue alerting everyone that they got the right place for catfish. The interior is unassuming, and according to my dad, hasn't changed much in the last 50 years. It's clean though, and in my opinion, if you have a good thing going, then why change? The staff is super nice, and they take cash and card. Please NEVER change Catfish Kitchen!
