REVIEWS OF Fred's Fish House IN Arkansas

Tim Derritt

Excellent fish and other food items.

Jan Fletcher

Excellent place to eat! Comfortable, great food, beautiful scenery!

Lisa Surbaugh

Food was sub par. We had the fisherman's platter to get a little bit of everything. I could buy frozen from Walmart and get better quality. The shrimp and scallops had so much flavorless breading that any seafood under it was lost. Crabs were just like the ones you can buy at any supermarket seafood counter for a buck. The only saving grace was the catfish and it was lighly breaded with good flavor. Even the cocktail sauce and tarter sauce were lacking. We were so disappointed because the view was excellent. This place could do so much better with just a little effort in their dishes. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Dawn Dunford

Food was good. Was told one price of my meal go to pay and it was $10.00 higher. Not impressed all I got was sorry your waitress should not of told you a price if she don't know how much it is.

Charles Bailey

Great food and service. Awesome view of the lake.

Anthony Gigliotti

Slow to be waited on, wilted salad .

Sue Huett

We've been going to Fred's for several years and it's just as good as our first visit.

Regina Svoboda

Food was yummy, prices reasonable!! I had fried catfish and baked potato was very good. Also first time trying alligator

Michael Burak

Fred's Fish House: The "BEST" Seafood Restaurant in Mountain Home! Generous portions (with outstanding sides) for a very fair price. The entire staff is friendly, courteous and very professional. Clean restaurant, little to no wait for a table. This will be our "at least once a week" night out for great food. Highly recommend Fred's Fish House to those that have not experienced it..........yet!

Jason Barker

Great food and the best service. Very friendly.

Denny Delcour

Catfish was as good as ever, a great place to eat n enjoy your dinner date overlooking Lake Norfork

Ricky Haynes

Not near as good as Skipper's on Highway 5 N. Fred's is a lot more expensive and the food is not better.

Richard McClellan

Very good catfish. Long wait time today tho.

Jerry Tibstra

Quick and friendly service with a nice view of Lake Norfork. The fried catfish was moist, and the grilled lemon catfish was delicately flavored.

Bro. George Smith

It's OK. Cajun fries are pretty good.

Richard Jordan

Great food ,great service

marco alpe

The best fish.....

Mae Paulsen

Delightful diner!! I'm not a fish-eater myself, but their BLT was delicious. My husband and Grandma both got catfish and devoured it. Great flavor, fun location, incredible views of the lake. You have to give them a try! Reasonable prices too! They have steak, burgers, and chicken for non-fish-eaters. And they have PIE!!

Jay Kimball

This is a destination for us every year as we come down to fish the white river. The catfish, jojo's, and hushpuppies just melt in your mouth. The seasoning is good and they are not the least bit oily. We tried the alligator bites and pickled green tomatoes. They were awesome. The alligator was moist and tasty. The green tomatoes were nicely sweet with a bit of a bite. I'll get both of them next year. We came back with 13 men this year and our server was very pleasant and unfazed by our size. She got every order perfectly and was appropriately attentive. We look forward to this joint every year . The view of lake Norfolk is great and relaxing.

Bonnie Fischer

Haven't been here in years. I'm hoping the cook was having a bad day. My chicken was not crispy, it was soggy with grease, so were the onion rings. The people in my party who got catfish, cajun and regular, really enjoyed their meal. The restaurant is clean and charming with wood paneled walls and a beautiful view. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'll give it a four star based on the good things and order fish instead of chicken next time. For now, excuse me while I go find the tums!

Janice Kopriva

We have been going to Fred's Fish House for many years. Most times we would give them 5 stars. The reason for only 4 this visit is due solely to customer service. The food was excellent as always however the young lady who seated us was not pleasant At All. When I ordered I specifically told the waitress twice that I didn't want butter on my baked potato and there it was and finally when we left no one was at the register to check us out. We will definately return but please just stress to your employees the importance of taking care of the customer.

Sherry Thompson ray

Been going here for almost 30 years and it’s the same GREAT FOOD, AEWSOME COZY SERVICE , and the STAFF IS BY FAR SOME OF THE NICEST AROUND. It doesn’t matter what you order it’s all good , we love to sit by the window for the Beautiful view of Lake. They are definitely doing something right because Freds has been there for 70 years and still going so KUDDOS TO THEM

Becky Madden

Best view of Norfork Lake. Food is exceptional!

les_stoner 419.9

Great food, great waitress staff. You get your food quickly and it’s always hot and fresh. Even the ranch is made in house.

Betty KIng

The food was amazing! Service was decent, but since it was a Friday at dinner time, they were very busy. We were still seated quickly as a group of 7, with kids, and drinks and food were prompt. I will definitely be back!

John Lerma

Awesome view and excellent service.

Triston Rogers

Great food and price

Dave Weatherby

Good food and friendly people

Deb Pendray

Most expensive meal in the area and the worst. The server wanted us gone from the time she handed us menus. Rude and insulting! The food was NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT . . .I guess if you like catfish maybe, we hate it and ordered everything else. Definitely WON'T BE BACK! NICE VIEW IF YOU CAN GET ONE, OTHERWISE CROWDED.

Jimmy Young

Reasonable food quality with reasonable prices and good service

pat fountain

Debbie Woodson

Good fish fresh crispy YUMMY

Steve Cooke

Great food and Great people !!

Rodney Villiger

Good food, great service!!

K Sabes

The lunch special is a really good value. Be prepared for the cornmeal coating. We're from Iowa and have had lots of catfish. Looking forward to a local AR favorite; but it was just too much coating and oil. Unless you know what you are getting into, order yours floured. Service nice and friendly. Coleslaw was really good.

Fay Dupont

I found nothing fresh. Everything was frozen then put together. Fish was dry as were hush puppies. But Cole slaw was good. Waiter even got our appetizers wrong. Will not go back.

Wendy Dieball

The food is really good, but the service has been bad the last 3 times we went...

Valerie Cawthan

The food was delicious, will return, prices where great, restaurant nice and clean with a great view of the Lake

JohnBarb Thompson

Always good. Cathy took great care of us.

Gwen Carpenter

The Blackberry Cobbler was delicious

Michelle Henson

This is a very special and sentimental place for me. My Grandpa marvin and I would go here for dinner now and again before the Lord took him home in 1994. Fred's will always be a special place for me. Plus the food and view of the lake are wonderful. The best fish I have ever had any where. My only wish is that the prices weren't as high but the food IS delicious.

DARCIE DIDDEN

The best catfish in town! Good service, good atmosphere, fair price and great pickled green tomatoes!

Daniel Keenan

Second time here and both times it's been excellent. Had the catfish both times and this time my daughter had teriyaki chicken. Also a special today was alligator bites. They were cooked to prfection, nice and tender. Very good coleslaw also. And very very good serve.

Butch Hannah

Very very good and gr8 service !!

Billy Comstock

Always great food and fast and friendly service .

Carole June Homolka

Great good and beautiful view @ Norfork Lake.

Giles Childers

Went there for the catfish but it wasn't as good as we have eaten at other places. The best we've eaten in Mountain Home was at Western Sizzlin. It was really good!

Trey Selby

Good catfish. Beautiful view. Fast service.

Janet Hinson

Wonderful lemon grilled fish and side dishes. Would highly recommend. Staff are very sweet and professional.

Brian Shrubb

Not only was the fish great but also the barbecue!

Bob Linda Zteam

Great staff. Good food. Views of lake Norfork from the windows.

Alica Rutherford

Fred's is always consistently delicious. Great service, great food, great atmosphere.

David Mohr

Very good food and service . My wife and I are looking forward to eating dinner there again !

Bullitt

Great good for a great price. $7.99 3 piece catfish meal for lunch!

Mary Hayes

Update: I still stand by my original assessment with regard to the food at Fred's, however, the wait staff are less than cordial. Our most recent visit, we were made to feel rushed as though they wanted us to finish our meal and move on so that they might have our table for the next customers. The food is delicious and the view is beautiful. We try to eat at Fred's whenever we visit Mountain Home, AR.

Gary Edwards

It was great as always

Arlene Kingrey

Not like it use to be. Very disappointed

Donella Ryan

Great food and large portions!

Lisa Arnold

I've only had the catfish. It's very good. Wish it came with beans. And since I'm wishing, unlimited hushpuppies!

Scott Fischer

Best around currently

April Miller

I wouldn't go back, fried, fried and more fried... Overpriced and overrated...

Kim Knapp

Best fried pickles, tomatoes and catfish anywhere!!!! Excellent wait staff.

Daniel Duran

Service was good but this place has a ton of issues. To start with don't sit at the tables by the parking lot. They're uneven and will spill your drinks. Second, the fish was heavily over cooked. This place is known for catfish but it was dry and hard

Scott Sarah

Probably the best restaurant in town. Good service and good food.

Beth Howard

I had the fish and shrimp. The fish was thick and delicious. The shrimp was big and fabulous.

Maureen DeMarks

Great food and service!

Bryan Lutz

First time here, the food was delicious and the service was awesome!

Curtis Frazier

Really good fish and good service.

Taylor Faith

If you like small portions of gross food for an expensive price then this is the place for you. I was there today with a party of four and nothing was good(besides maybe the toast) Three of us got the 8oz sirloin and instead got something that was more like a 4 oz flank steak. Two of us ordered our steaks medium rare and recived a very well done steak instead. Also the catfish that was ordered tasted nothing like catfish and was burnt. There is more. The waitress, very nice, however got some of the order wrong. they wanted wedges but got hush puppies instead and the wedges that I got were terribly burnt. Would not recommend this expensive and gross place to ANYONE.

Ryan Thomas Glowacki

Whenever we visit from out of state, we always stop at Fred's. Cajun catfish is my favorite.

Heather Hutcheson

Food was delicious and even though they were super busy, our server was fantastic.

Scott Marshall

One of the better fish places in mt home..

Shelley Burak

Just moved to area and were looking for good catfish. Found it and so much more here! Ordered Fred's Favorite Seafood Platter and it did not disappoint. Couldn't finish the fried JoJos, so took them to go (Hint: Even good cold, like leftover fried chicken

John Vodehnal

Food is good. Most things deep fried. The view is beautiful. Our waitress Brittany was excellent

JimnAngela Hedge

Awesome best fish and alligator bites ever

Judi Anderson

Good food.. ...but soup was in a tiny bowl - would like to have larger portion. Pepper shakers were empty, had to search 3 tables to find pepper, my husband's coffee cup had lipstick on the rim. Great customer service, they just need to be better prepared for customers.

Remington Paulsen

Catfish was delicious. Service was friendly and they have a dessert called pecan cobbler which I hadn't heard of before being from Idaho but, it was amazing. I was very glad we got this place up.

Linda Brennan

Our favorite place to eat in Mountain Home Arkansas !

Danita Wolf

Was somewhat disappointed hear that the food was so great there and i have had better fish and chicken at our local restaurants for half the price

Greg Baine

Unbeatable catfish and cheerful service

Gwen Graham

The food is below average as far as flavor goes. The service is okay. Wouldn't let our teenage daughter order a kids meal. The best part about Freds is the view-if you're lucky enough to get a table that has one.

Becky Tucker

Really great food, fresh, fast, and hot. Staff was great too

Ryan Trauth

Always great catfish, cajun or original, and I love the sides of homemade pickled tomatoes and slaw. After a day fishing on Lake Norfork, if you are too tired to prepare your own fish dinner, go to Fred's. You won't be disappointed.

Jason Fraley

Good burger. Surprised to find that at a fish house. The owners are great. I met them once, they've remembered us each time we've went back. Good place

Clif Earls

The food is ok. The atmosphere is lovely and calm. There is no loud obnoxious music roaring, no drunkards slobbering around. The lighting is soft and the temperature is just right. The waitress that we had was nice and friendly, and very attentive. She was not covered in nasty tattoos, didnt stink like cigarettes, and didn't have shrapnel in her face. The men's room was very clean and I wasnt at all afraid to have my four year old go in use it with me. I will certainly be coming back.

Sheila Ray

Great views and great food!

Brian Goulet

Great as always.

Carl Bobette Spivey

good food and good service

Jonas Buivydas

The view and atmosphere inside are amazing. Food is delicious too. I would definitely go there again

Tracy Gielow

Pretty sure I was the only person in the restaurant to order a well done steak. It tasted like liver and was still bleeding. Service was real good but my good was not even fair. They do fish so I'm guessing it is good.

Larry Kaye

Great food service a tad slow

Lowell wilson

Wonderful everything. Service, food, scenery. We will return

Donna Duggins

Great food. Wonderful service. Beautiful view. A little pricey for a Saturday lunch.

Kenny Macdonald

We really enjoyed our visit to Fred's. We were seated promptly and service was attentive. Lots of large groups in the place and quite busy, but our experiences was still top notch. The fish was excellent, as we enjoyed the walleye, shrimp, catfish, chicken tenders, etc. The Hush puppies are the BEST! We were too full for dessert. Love the pickled tomatoes.

Timmy and Michelle Blaylock

Excellent! As always!

Loyd Warren

Fish and shrimp is always really good

Lacey Inman

Yum! All of our food was delicious! Great restaurant with great service and a great view.

Kathy Fisher

It was really good. Had eaten there before and came back

Lori Hisel

Great views from a comfy down-home style restaurant. Nice people and good comfort food.

Norma Sims

Awesome Catfish, hush puppies, and all the trimmings. Waitress was great, making sure we had everything needed. No room for dessert.

Lisa Henard

Fred's has the most amazing fish and fixins!! The atmosphere is great and an unbelievably breathtaking view of Lake Norfork!! Our waitress was so patient and accommodating as we dined and visited!! She was attentive but not overbearing!! Can't go wrong if you go to Fred's Fish House!!

Philip Talemal

Great food great service and love going there

Burt Ballard

Great catfish. Try the cajun seasoned

Tammy Tenison

Always the best tasting catfish.

John Forbes

Excellent place for catfish..Katrina was the best waitress

Bill Odwyer

Used to like the cat fish, I don't get that any more. I liked the prime rib, but again, not anymore. The ribeye Steak is good with good consistency, so that is what I get. Don't ever make even a constructive comment to the owner, he goes nuts. Witch is why I don't go there as much. I wish Hooper's down the street would open back up. They had better steaks. I can always get good cat fish some where else.

Jeffrey Johnson

Absolutely love this place. A little Pricy, but not too much. Great place for a romantic couple, family outing, visitors from out of town, or just a nice get away for yourself. Our waitress way FANTASTIC!!!!

Jody Davis

Awesome food, great service

chris woodc

Catfish was clean not muddy not over breaded . Plain was five star but Cajun was bland. Served with Jo Jo s optional but again Cajun bland. Suggest Cajun seasoning is reviewed or removed.

Buddy

Waitress was great!! Fries was cold and grilled walleye is gross.

Kathy White

Food was very good. Did'nt have to wait long. Service was very good and wait staff was friendly and helpful. Bill & K.T. White

Ray Benjamin

Not a great meal. No flavor to any portion of it. Waitress did a good job.

Michelle Turner

Really good catfish and hushpuppies! The seafood platter was really big and satisfying! The cheese cake was great as well..

Gage Hutchinson

Gah dang that's some good catfish sheeeesh

David Scroggs

Best catfish in north Arkansas, and great service. This is a must go to restaurant.

Barbara Little

Great service ,excellent food !! Will definately Recommend ,

Tonya King

Very clean restaurant with beautiful lake views. We had the Grandaddy all you can eat fish dinner and hushpuppy appetizer. The portions are generous and the service is amazing. Everything was cooked very well. Even though they were incredibly busy, it only took 15 minutes to seat us. They have the best hushpuppies anywhere!! Highly recommend!

Wendy Smith

I loved it. It was my first time eating there. We will definitely be back next trip

Joyce cannon

Nice view , good service , great food

Alan Archer

Best Tasting Catfish I've had in 20 years. Excellent hushpuppies and service too. Beautiful Restaurant with greatbvoew of the lake. Wife had cheeseburger and said it was delicious too.

Kelly Jackson-McCord

The best place to eat in Mountain Home!! Great, friendly staff. They are quick, efficient, and always friendly! The food here is great!!

Mark Wester

Very good fried catfish. Hard to find better in the area.

Tammy Roberts

Super awesome food...service...all around great place..

Teddy Blevins

Great food great service

Brian Spotts

Oh my goodness! This place is fantastic! Fabulous catfish, amazing hush puppies (and I normally don't care for hush puppies), outstanding bean soup! The cobblers were out of this world! Amazing views, friendly staff, lots of menu choices at reasonable prices. The only thing we didn't care for was the boxed Mac and cheese. But everything else was spectacular. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Get the catfish, and the hush puppies. Get the fries. Get the bean soup. And the pecan cobbler. Tell your friends. Wow!

theresa kmit

Been to Fred's twice now while visiting Mountain Home from Wisconsin. Great food and awesome service from Margaret!

Lee House

The view was beautiful, the service good, the food mediocre.

unfair medal

Beautiful views, great staff that are very responsive and never any issues with requests. The food is absolutley delicious with a wide variety of delicious fish and burgers! The decor is fantastic with a very clean yet nostalgic feel. If you go you MUST try the catfish as it is absolutley delicious, as well you will be sorely missing out if you do not try the carrot cake!

Dylan Crawford

Just about everything is good, and reasonably priced. Also has a beautiful view overlooking Norfolk Lake.

Jim Long

Good food, good service!

Glosili The Gamer

Had the 4 piece catfish with fries, mix between Cajun and regular batter. Wasn’t a fan of the Cajun, it seemed a little boring for its name; however, the original is by far the best flavor I’ve had in the region. The service was good, but the hush puppies were dry and the price honestly was a little higher than I was comfortable paying for catfish, lending to the 4 star rating. All in all a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good plate of catfish.

Heather Lerma

We got our food in just a few minutes, great service and food was phenomenal!!

Wade Maenle

Best fish in the area.

Carol Fletcher

Sadly I was there at night and couldn't see the lake. Tried looking out the window and couldn't see a thing. Drat. However the food was pretty terrific.

Tom Greb

Extremely generous plates you better be hungry for fish when you visit this place you will not be disappointed

chris collins

Always great place to go. Great staff.

Bill Keller

Good food, good service

Mrs. Jacob Eubanks

Great food. Amazing view!

Greg Holden

The catfish, coleslaw, pickled green tomatoes, fried green tomatoes were all fantastic. Great view of the lake and very good service. Highly recommend.

Lance Gram

Love the catfish here. Great service. Thanks.

John Stockton

Good catfish. Nice relaxing atmosphere.

Gayle Michaels

Great catfish great service great view

Deborah Rabine

Great view. Great food. Exceptional service. The portions are very large so order carefully. We had the fish fry which was a cornmeal type batter and fried to perfection. They serve a good coleslaw and an excellent pickled tomato on the side.

Lisa Martin

The food is great.

J Hollendyke

A very tight ship Fred runs! Great food and prices. Cordial staff, it was a Friday night busy as most restaurants are on Friday nights. We were immediately seated by Fred himself and we sat for less than two minutes and a busboy asked us if he could get us drinks. Our waitress was right behind him. Food was there in a flash shrimp took three bites each catfish was great. My experience was great, I’d say get there early by six the parking lot was full and most tables full too.

Travis Dillard

Always great service, freindly people, and great food. Never be afraid to let them know if something isnt correct they are happy to fix it right aways. Best catfish in the area!

Heather Green

If you like Catfish. Fred's has got some dang good cooking going on! Either fried or cajun seasoned you can't go wrong. Served with choice of potato plus hushpuppies, you're sure to leave full. But try to save room!! Stuffed crab was okay, jalapeno poppers were good, pretty dang good clam chowder too!!! And if you need to have a Beverage in Arkansas on a Sunday, Fred's has a good beer and wine selection!!! The place is Very clean, spacious yet oh so homey! From our greeter to our server, talk about friendly!!! Fast seating during off season. We were seated quickly and our server was as fast as my indecision allowed3 Sorry bout that! Once I decided.....she was fast on the ball. I greatly appreciate your food, spirits and hospitality!!! Thank you for an AWESOME experience! Anybody heading to our through Mountain Home Arkansas needs to stop in and enjoy Fred's Fish House and the Amazing Catfish that's frying up!

Sherrill Watson

Wonderful fish and great service. Love the atmosphere and Lakeview.

Nova Propes

The best place ever. Scenery was beautiful. The food was the best. The waitress was awesome. Not down to a half glass and she was filling it up. Nice place recommend to everyone that enjoys sea food especially catfish.

Toxictaxi ,

Great views, great food!

Susan L. Britt

Hush puppies were bad ... everything else was good , not enough pickled green tomatoes
