Went twice in 3 days. 10/10!! I'll most likely be back for the catfish basket again because you can't go wrong there. Love their tartar sauce.. Loved the hush puppies! Perfect crunch on that fish batter. Fries were hot and fresh! Love the staff. The cleanliness was up to par. I tried the ceviche and had to return it, too tomatoey, not Baja California style neither did it have enough lime - the shrimp were cooked which is not authentic ceviche style. However, the nice cashier guy who I spoke with used to live in Dallas, he exchanged it for me without charge. We tipped him! Very nice guy! This is the kind of place where you stick to what you know is good.

My partner and I really excited we found this place and we've been craving seafood boil. Combo: I was expecting like other seafood boil with lots of sauce to go with the seafood. But unfortunately it wasn't like that, they sprinkle the seafood, potatoes and corn with paprika. I have to dip the seafood on the Gumbo because they barely taste anything. 7.5/10 Fried Calamari was good but they're small but good portion. 8/10 Gumbo: it was too salty and small kick of spicy which is good for me. But I only used it to dip the seafood. 6.5/10 Rice: it was plain and some seasoning but taste okay. 4/10. The service was good, the guy taking our prefer was patient enough to explain to us all the food. Inside the restaurant was "Whoaaa" so much Bass o fishes. They have plenty of tables. Overall, it was good. 8.5/10

As soon as you walk, walk towards the back and you order from the counter back there. The place and vibe was nice! The service was quick and the food was really good! I had never had fried catfish with a crunchy taco before, we usually eat it with a flour tortilla, but it was actually really good! Their rice and beans were delicious. We went up and ordered a second serving along with another catfish! Everything was good!

We were greeted by a very friendly Hispanic man who took our order. I apologize I have forgotten his name, but he was so amazing. I ordered the fried shrimp salad and my husband ordered the fried or Caesar salad, and a side of hush puppies. Other reviews talked about how big the salads were and I must say mine was pretty big, but my husbands was small, he could've used another handful of mix. The hush puppies were not our favorite. The first two or three were good but after that, they just had a strange taste to us. I think they were too brown. I think they could've been removed from the fryer about a minute or two and they would've been perfect. $43.86 was the total for our meal. We love the decor, and the tables are like an old-fashioned table that you found at your great grandmothers very comfortable chairs.

Really glad we found this place after a quick scan of Yelp. We were in town visiting the Clinton Library and touring the waterfront area and decided to see about eating in town versus near our hotel on the far west side of town. We got here a bit after 5pm on a Saturday and found a line about halfway to the door - it moved relatively quickly (by the time we left the line was out the door!). While waiting we amused ourselves looking at the collection of stuffed bass covering the walls. We grabbed a menu on our way in so we could decide while waiting. I was very pleasantly surprised at the reasonable prices of this place. Every restaurant these days has jacked up their prices. The menu is quite large which made it hard to choose. My wife opted for the grilled tilapia tacos which she really liked. I got the lobster roll platter with two small lobster rolls (actually langoustines) on a buttered New England style bun. Fries and Cole slaw came with it. It was very good. They have a selection of can and draft beers - good and better. Big thumbs up! If we were here longer I would return!

On the last night of our visit to Little Rock, most of us decided we had to try the delicious food (fish) that everyone was talking about!! Stepping in to see (literally) hundreds of Billy bass fish on the walls, I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting myself into, but I quickly felt comfortable and found a seat in one of the multiple sections of the restaurant. The food staff don't serve you at a table, but instead you order at the window up front and come when your number is called. My table ordered the grits and gumbo, tilapia tacos, catfish, and the jambalaya. We also got hush puppies and fried pickles to share between the four of us. The food was great! Like many places I went to in Arkansas, it was very simple, but that made it even better. We ate quickly before spending a long time chatting and enjoying the atmosphere of the restaurant. They don't have a lot of fresh options, but if you're looking for some delicious fried food that will improve your time in Little Rock, definitely stop by! Don't forget to bring in a Billy bass fish if you want a free catfish basket!!
