Goodsprings Catfish Haven is better all the way around, imo. Better fish, hush puppies and slaw.


I agree, Catfish Haven in Russellville (US 43) is the best all around that I have found. Newberns (Florence, US 72) is good too, next up would be Friendship House (on the Tombigbee River, outside Aberdeen MS), forget the names but pretty good places in Butler Co and Monroeville(?). Been about 25 yrs, but there was a pretty good place in Gadsden on the river too.

FWIW, the wife and I used to drive 2.5 hrs each way to eat at Catfish Haven.......


There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
