Love this place for sure! Always busy and has a good wait time! Call ahead to place your name on the list to get int quicker especially on Friday nights! Service is very prompt and friendly! I have never had an issue with our food! The all you can eat fish has been mine and family’s go to most occasions! Their fried oysters were a hit with my mom who was visiting! Fish is good size and the coleslaw is amazing!

The catfish was good but it wasn’t exceptional. All you can eat is good, waitress was quick and nice. The building design feels like a converted house. Not bad , just overall underwhelming for the price.

This was a wonderful, family-friendly place where we celebrated my brother-in-law’s retirement. I’m very picky about fried catfish and couldn’t get over just how good it was. The wait staff were very attentive and friendly.

This place is just the most perfect place to take your family or go for a date night. Came in from out of town and stopped in. The catfish was so fresh and the filet was delicious. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Prices were excellent as well. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in town.

Quaint ALL YOU CAN EAT catfish joint that doubles as a steak house…crispy batter yet juicy fish….didn’t try the steak but I cook those at home 😉 Nice, solid place in Paris, TX

I have never had such good fish and ALL the sides are also amazing! I really don’t like coleslaw but I can make a meal alone of that.

We stopped by tonight on our way through Paris. Our waitress was Hailey – she was phenomenal. Not just good, but amazing. The food was wonderful, but she made the experience memorable and is the reason we will drive out of our way to come back. Highly recommended. They are warm, friendly, and the food is tasty and super hot. Can’t beat it!

I grew up in Paris and remember when Doc Ensey first opened the Fish Fry in 1975. As a child, I remember nothing but the amazing food and service on behalf of the Ensey Family. Now, 48 years later…….I can Say that the food and service are still utterly amazing. Was such a great experience for my wife and I all these years later bringing in our kids and friends from out of town to have them join us for an amazing feast at The Fish Fry. If you are ever in Paris, or even passing thought……do yourself a favor and eat at The Fish Fry! You will not be disappointed!
