    We normally avoid buffets and all you can need restaurants. However, Catfish Dewey's is a welcome and notable exception. On each night's menu there are one or more items that are classified as all-you-can-eat. During our most recent outing, which was on a Sunday evening, I had the all-you-can-eat snow crab clause. This was clearly excellent quantity as well as quality. Each batch came out hot, freshly steamed, and appeared to have been cooked to order on the request for a refill. My wife had the full-size fried oyster platter, and the quantity of oysters was more than enough for a single seating, and they were cooked two perfection. The sides that are available are plentiful and properly cooked, and the accompanying cole slaw and hush puppies are enjoyable as well. The service is friendly and efficient, and we are always made to feel extremely welcome. Even though very busy, our OpenTable reservation was promptly honored. We have found that when searching for good seafood and fish, the consistency at this restaurant is a welcome venue in our community.

    Great casual spot with terrific food! Broiled scallops were excellent. Portion of 12 was more than enough. Large Stone crab claws were reasonably priced and excellent as well. It was very busy but our server was very attentive and the food came out relatively quick. We will definitely be back! One thing to note: the parking is challenging. There is a small lot but not enough for the size of the restaurant. Leave a little extra time to find a spot.

    I had no crabs, and a half a rack of ribs to go home because they are delicious. Snow crabs were wonderful. I did not have a cocktail. I drink diet soda.

    Marta is the best waitress. Claws were fresh and sweet. Catfish was great. Hostess that was on 12/27 was really nice too. Haven’t had a misstep here in many visits. Thank you.
