Catfish Cove

Fantastic service. Everyone was very kind and helpful. Food had obviously been sitting out under warmers for quite a while. Lots of near empty pans with dried out crispy food. Def not worth the $20 a head price.

Then later that night I got food poisoning so that was neat. Won't be coming back.

Love this place! Wait staff is always friendly. The buffet is always great, seems to always has a steady rotation of food so hot food stays hot. Plus..can't beat all you can eat crab legs 😻.

This is some of the best food we've ever eaten in our entire 50 years of life! We went for dinner on a Wednesday for a personal celebration dinner. This restaurant did not disappoint one bit. My husband and I both got the dinner buffet and I added a lb of crab legs extra. The crab was hot and delicious 😋 and everything else was as well. From the loaded salad bar to the gumbo, to the several varieties of fish, beans, greens, Mac & cheese, cabbage, creamed corn and all things southern, to the delicious cobblers and homemade ice cream, homemade cornbread and yeast rolls... it was all chef's kiss 🤌 it was worth the short drive and we'll definitely be back!!! 😋 😋 😋

All you can eat Alaskan crab legs. The buffet was awesome also. I had the homemade cherry cobbler and the homemade vanilla ice cream. The waitress was Awesome, she just kept bringing the crab legs, I finished off 27 clusters which is equal to about 14 Alaskan King crabs; its fair to feel like I got my money's worth. I give this place two thumbs up. I definitely will be back. The picture is what was left; oh, I ate it up, don't worry.

We stopped in Yukon for our reset and drove over to Catfish Cove, we were not disappointed! Every dish was delicious especially the gumbo. My husband said the coleslaw was the best he's ever had. The service was terrific and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

The fried catfish and fried shrimp were good. Don’t bother with the crabs. I drove 35mins to try this place and linked up with coworkers. At least I can say I tried it, but unfortunately I will not be back. If I didn’t live so far, I would come back again for the salad bar, fried catfish, and fried shrimp to give the place another chance. The waiters were nice and friendly. The cashier messed up our order and it seemed to be a communication error. Dessert area looked a bit old as of it had been sitting out for awhile (will the cobbler did)

Since I was in the NW OKC and Yukon area early this afternoon, I took advantage of trying the Catfish Cove location in Yukon..

Catfish Cove had a location in Moore that closed about six years ago +/-.. I dined there on occasion, and recall it having pretty good eats for a buffet-style restaurant..

Would the one in Yukon live up to my recalled hype?? Keep reading for the results..

The Sunday buffet with a drink weighed in at $19.49, which worked out to something in the $17.54 range after my 10% military discount.. They also offer a discount for seniors 55+.. Oh wait, that's me, too!! But, I digress..

Aside from their use of plastic/foam plates, foam bowls, and flatware (surely it would be cheaper and better for the environment to maintain food service quality plates and flatware, right?) I have to say my experience was generally good..

I set out to sample small quantities of my former favorites, and I think I succeeded..

Round one was a fresh greens salad topped with boiled eggs, shredded cheese, cherry tomatoes, and bacon bits.. I ladled a bit of their Italian dressing into a bowl and applied just what I needed after snapping the pic.. The toppings I chose were remarkably fresh, and the salad was a great start..

I tried the following items on round two: fried, baked, and Cajun Catfish, fried okra, fried shrimp, pinto beans, green beans, buttered sweet corn, and mac & cheese.. All of the fried goodies were delightfully hot and fresh and, more importantly, not greasy.. Each of the sides held their own and were pretty decent..

My third and final round had repeats of the fried catfish and shrimp with coleslaw, jalapeño corn nuggets, and hush puppies.. The corn nuggets had some good heat (there was a sign advising folks the same on the bar), and the hush puppies, though small, were what I expected them to be.. The slaw wasn't bad..

My verdict?? A solid 4 out of 5.. While I thought the eats were pretty good, I'm not sure it would be a destination I'd drive an hour for by itself.. Grabbing it if the mood hit and I was going to be in Yukon is a more likely scenario..

Their crab legs (sold separately from the buffet) seemed to be popular among diners while I was there, so the Cove might be a destination for those folks.. Other reviewers will have to provide the deets on them..

Oh, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the staff kept the salad, hot, and condiments bars well-stocked with fresh goods during my visit.. The tables were kept bussed, too, and a couple of the employees made rounds through the dining room assisting diners.. Service gets a solid 5 from me!!
