Catfish Hole Alma

Hidden right off the interstate in Alma, Arkansas is the best tasting catfish around. Before the meal, you are served endless hushpuppies, pickles, peppers, and coleslaw. The hushpuppies are a must, and I recommend trying them with the pickle.
The service is incredible! It is a large space, but they are well staffed with friendly people. You will never run out of a drink or set-up.
If you are in the area and looking for options, this is a great one!

Stopped in during a motorcycle ride with our group of 7. Took about 15 minutes to get a table. Only bummer NO COKE! We did get to see the Razorback mascot Tusk V1, that was pretty cool.

First time here. For the price, very good service and high quality food. As a visitor from Florida their fish is limited to catfish which is plentiful in this area. But many other tasty dishes available including steak. My friends had frog legs and catfish combo's and I had clam strips and catfish. The free pre-meal appetizers ...pickled green tomatoes, cole slaw, and fresh hush puppies were awesome 👌. Will go back again.

The grilled trout and salmon were both fantastic, perfectly cooked and very flavorful, and the "fixins" like onions and coleslaw etc made great additions.

They're known for those hush puppies which are amazing too

My only request would be a couple more veggie options for sides. The green beans are good, maybe add some broccoli or zucchini etc

But overall it was a fantastic dinner

So good. We had to force ourselves to stop eating or we would make ourselves sick.

The service was awesome. Rachel was so attentive and helpful.

Great fish for both of us! The fries, hush puppies, slaw and onion was very good! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Would recommend this Catfish Hole to my friends and family!

In town for an event and had to stop here for dinner. Fast, friendly service and huge portions! Wife has the Hawaiian Chicken and she said it was delish. Secret recipe hush puppies were awesome. Fixins like cole slaw and pickled green tomatoes which we have never had before.

Grrrrreat customer service and food BEST hush puppies in Arkansas, I have a great aunt in little rock who comes here for casino and order 30 hush puppies to take back #speaksVOLUME 💯💯💯💯💯

Excellent service! The teamwork exhibited by the entire staff is amazing. The catfish was really good. The shrimp was simply awesome. Any near Fort Smith should give it a try

Definitely some of the best catfish I’ve eaten! Loved their pickled green tomatoes! Great price and heathy portions. Great fast service.

I thoroughly enjoy the food here. The hushpuppies, the fried catfish, and one of my personal favorites is the grilled trout. It's a great place for a family meal or a treat for friends.

I went to Arkansas for my family reunion. We went to this place to eat dinner and had 50 people in our party. We made reservations ahead of time. When we got there we had to wait for the rest of the staff that was going to serve us to get there before we could be seated. We were okay with that but you figured that they would have already been prepared for that seeing as how we did make a reservation for a particular time. Then they asked us at least eight different times if we were sure we were going to have about 50 people. Every time we said "yes. Is that going to be a problem?" Finally, the rest of the staff showed up or they took them from who was there for regular service. Once we were seated it took about 15 to 20 minutes for us to start getting all of the extras, hush puppies, pickles, coleslaw, onions, Etc. Once they started coming, the servers made a complete turnaround on what was starting to be a "not so well" experience. They were extremely friendly, social, some of them humorous, very helpful, kid-friendly, and good at their job. The only complaint that we did have is it was way too hot in there. They never turned the air conditioner on and with 50 people talking and visiting and kids jumping around, the hot food, and all of us seated so close, it felt like it was about 100° in there. Other than that, the experience was very pleasant. The food was awesome and pretty quick to come out and exactly how everybody ordered it. They did an awesome job and earned their tips. We will definitely go back there again next year for our family reunion.

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was top notch. You have to at least try the hush puppies. They were the best I've been tasted my entire life.

Best catfish in Arkansas also amazing hush puppies... I ate so many hush puppies that I couldn't finish my 5pc catfish!

Everything on the menu is absolutely worth trying. The hush puppies are literally mouth watering and the green tomato relish was unique and flavorful. The frog legs, catfish, and clams were perfect but my favorite were the scallops. My only complaint was it was probably 80 degrees inside on a day that was 105 outside. We were sweating but honestly it was worth it!!! I can't recommend this place enough!

Side dishes are wonderful! If you're not careful, you'll fill up on hush puppies, cole slaw, and tomato relish while waiting on your main course. The catfish pieces are large, hot, and crispy. ❤

Good food, excellent fried catfish. Bring you, hush puppies, pickles, and coleslaw just for sitting down! Nice environment, clean, and stylish design of building. Staff pleasant and very accommodating.

Great fish and green tomatoes ...we ordered the fried scallops and the fried chocolate pie they were both delicious

Good food, decent price for a sit down place. As you can see from the outside shot the landscaping gave the impression they weren't open but they are. Frog-legs available if you can't find anywhere else with them.

Food was great. I'll be back next time I'm in town.
