Carters Cat Fish House in Adel

~40 min wait to be seated and another ~30 mins til we got our food, though they were admittedly very busy. The staff were super friendly, but they all seemed very rushed. Noticed a lot of empty tables waiting to simply be cleaned, while a lot of hungry patrons waited outside. The wait was worth it though, because the food was absolutely delicious! My dad and I got the seafood platter for 2, and we weren't let down. Very tasty! Overall, better management and more staff would go a long way.

Loved the food and service

Excellent food and service. Comfortable atmosphere.

Really nice place and friendly wait staff. I enjoyed my fried catfish and the cheese grits were made right👍🏻 It’s located right outside the gate of Reed Bingham State Park so it’s a great place to eat dinner if your camping there.

Great food! Cole slaw was good.catfish was good

My family and i ate here and it was absolutely amazing. Due to no fault of there own when we sat down and ordered our drinks the power went out and the staff and owners did everything they could to feed us. they ended up bringing us everything they had on there hot bar in the kitchen to feed my family. They truly went above and beyond!!! next time we are in the area camping at the state park we will be back again!!!

Great food. Nice atmosphere. I'll be going back

Ordered whole catfish so small it was like a appetizer. Sad

We arrived early, hoping we would not have a long wait. We were seated promptly, but we had to ask for a server. Our wait for ordering and receiving our food was a good hour or longer. Food was good, freshly cooked.

We live in Adel and eat here on occasion. The food is usually good. The service depends on who your server is. Last Friday when we ate there the people at the table behind us commented on the way some of the employees were wearing their mask. We looked and also saw that instead of covering their nose and mouth the mask were looped over the ears and were pulled under the chin. Perhaps they were not servers but I was very uncomfortable because they repeatedly passed by our tables with less than the suggested 6 foot distance. Our waitress wore hers and was great.

Good food!

Sevice was very good. We enjoyed the food very much. We will be back.

The service and the food was good. If you like fried oysters and shrimp this is the place for you. Wonderful!!!!

Good but not great. Scallops were tiny. Oysters were over cooked. Everything else was good.

Very friendly staff everyone wearing a smile and the food there will make you smile as well 😃Large servings great valueWill venture there again 👍Jamie was our server and put up with us with a smile 😊

Great food and service! We drove over an hour and came twice in one week. It's that good!

Very clean & spacious atmosphere. Waitress was very customer service oriented. The food was very delicious, so we are definitely planning on going again.

Enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. The Fried Shrimp will make you hurt yourself. Large, tasty, and filling. The Covid-19 procedures were obviously practiced, because the place was super clean!

Open-Design Restaurant Built For Country Living Excellence With Exceptional Seafood And Service !(Ask For Waitress Team Lauren/Jessica)

Really nice people and great food. Not to pricey either. Love the rustic look and decor was awesome.

The catfish filets were good and plentiful. I'd say you get your money's worth. However, as cheap as grits are, you only get what seems to be a half a cup if you order grits for your side. It's Georgia. I love grits. I would have liked at least a good cupful. I mostly gave them a 3 because service was slow and the food came to the table mediocre warm. I guess maybe "the season" is ending. I thought it would be "something to write home about" but it wasn't.

Blackened grouper was excellent

Really enjoyed ourselves! Food was super delicious💖

Good food at a good price and friendly.

Everything was great. We hadn't been there in years but we'll be going back soon.

Food and service was great!

Very expensive, food is good, service was good

Excellant 10 stars great Catfish great price and friendly service

The food, service and prices are fantastic. The salad bar are awesome.

I honestly wasn't that impressed. Maybe it's because I didn't order seafood?

We split the platter for 2 and everything was great. The ither reviews must be competitors or something because its not "so hot you cant eat" and its 95 outside. Its not loud, and all the servers are refilling the free pickles/onuons and drinks

First let me say that the staff was excellent even though they were packed (I got there during rush hour). The amount of food I got for the price was worth it. Cheese grits we're the best I ever had. Will definitely be making a trip back here.

Always good food. The catfish is the best. Perfect place to go if you are camping at Red Bingham. Close enough to I75 for a quick dinner.

Food is awesome but one waitress there just had a nasty attitude wasn't nice an very unfriendly

Excellent food and service

The only thing I can say is they have good pickles. Took the family out for dinner and it was my first and last visit. Sat there for an hour and no food. Ordered gator bites and I would have sworn it was chicken. Next time I will just go to Ray's millpond for catfish. Total disappointment.

AMAZING food and great service as always

It was a great experience. The food was good and fresh. Had the sampler plate with onion rings fried green tomatoes and fried pickles. Then as a main dish I had the whole fried catfish with coleslaw cheese grits and hush puppies. The fish was breaded seasoned and cooked just right..the coleslaw was fresh with a kinda sweet tang to it. The cheese grits!! There's no words for how good they were!! A definite must go if you haven't been. I definitely will be back soon. Only open Thursday Friday and Saturday.

We camped at Reed Bingham and this restaurant is just outside the gates, so it’s really convenient for dining. You expect it to be a bit pricey for that reason alone. But... we tried to order raft beers. They had one bottle of Sam Adams. They had one bottle of hard cider. Almost no one in the place was drinking anything except tea, so wine by the glass for $7.50 didn’t look like a good bet. We got the catfish platter for two with four sides. Price was the best deal on the menu. The catfish and shrimp were really good. The oysters and scallops were Cisco and meh. The deviled crab was icky. The baked potato was barely warm. (At 7pm ) Service was good, but we had to ask for tartar sauce. Here’s the menu. Hope it helps!

Best Cole slaw, hush puppies and fried catfish! Very fresh salad bar. Could use some craft beers.

It was really great since my last visit there

Carter's is the best place to get fried seafood in South Georgia. Their salad bar is clean and all of the veggies are fresh. But really you should skip the salad because you need ROOM for your main entree. I always order the seafood platter for 1 but really 3 people could eat it. Oysters are my favorite and their oysters are always fresh, breaded and cooked perfectly. I have eaten at their restaurant and I have attended events where they catered. The catering is delicious also. They no longer carry Mullet fish in the restaurant and I REALLY miss it!! I like to go on Thursdays or Fridays right at 3 when they open.

Excellent, gator bites and flounder were great. Hush puppies a little to dense. Good service. It's out of the way but worth the trip.

Just ordered take out but great decor.

A little pricey, but food was good.

I have no reason to hate this place and besides it was my first time eating her with my family who lives in the area...i really enjoyed the food and the service...the young lady that was helping us what a job well done...thanks
