As I sort of alluded to earlier in the thread, if you've never been to a Catfish House, you need to check one out. Some are buffet... but the best ones are family style. Tons of fried catfish, hushpuppies, cole slaw. Awesome sides like pickled tomato relish. Always nice pies and cakes for desserts.
In the dry south (no booze), they're like the bars of the South. People drive from counties around to hit the catfish house on a Friday or Saturday night. Everyone congregates there and sees their friends. When I visited my relatives in S. Arkansas growing up, we'd drive over an hour (2 counties away) on Friday night to hit the catfish house.
