After all the positive things that have been said on the forum, I told my wife that we really needed to give CATHOUSE a try. So, last Friday night, we drive all the way from the North end of the lake to Prattville, hoping for an enjoyable evening.
First, we could barely find the place, then as we drive up, it looks like some kind of boaters bar. We decided to give it a try anyway, so go to the door and the place is locked! Couldn’t believe it – so I banged on the door and some guy named Steve finally opens the place up. Now this is prime time Friday night and the place is dead!!?? So, we walk in, and there are no tables! Now we are really starting to wonder about this place. Steve clears off a desk and pulls up a couple of chairs for us, so we decide to order cocktails and an appetizer. Decide to try the raw oysters along with a beer for me and wine for my wife. He looks at us a little funny, but heads to the back. After an eternity, he shows back up with a cold PBR, a glass of something (MD 20-20 I think) and the “oysters”. Not to say, but these things were about the size of a dime and tasted like something dredged up from a pond out back.
The wife wants to leave at this point, but I remind her that the place gets rave reviews, so maybe we should try the entrees. I order the catfish and she orders a burger. Again, we get this strange look, but away he goes to the back. I think he’s gone for good this time, then the food finally arrives. The burger was ok, but the catfish tasted more like carp dredged up from a pond out back.
Now I’m not the type to complain, but this wasn’t what we expected. Told Steve I would like to have a word with him, so he suggests that we step out back by the Ho’s hangout. Well, that tears if for the wife – lousy food then Ho’s hanging around! She stormed out to the car and I wasn’t far behind.
I will say the place had a cool lake motif, service was ok but don’t go there expecting a gourmet meal.

There has been so much written about restaurant reviews and now another. This one seems to be on target. My wifey and I did the same earlier in the season but she said no way. Are you sure that hamburger and catfish were not really a CATburger??? Steve knows motors but he is trying to get into too many new markets. I heard from authorities that he uses the exhaust pipes from one of his supercharged engines to grill the food. Quite appetizing!!!!!! He has a pond where he raises his lobsters and red snapper. Each morning DeeDee spinkles a little salt in the pond.
Thanks for the honest review.

Do you have any affiliation with this business? I did not see the normal disclaimer so do not know how to take your "positive" remarks. I do hope they can make it, however. BTW, did you see any spiders?

Gezzz and to think he sent me coupons for ladies night there. I though the term clothing and non-clothing booths available on the back of the coupon was odd.
Thanks of the heads up on the catfish. That is what I was going to order. I may just stay clear of the joint now.

I too decided to make the drive to Prattville .... I had trouble locating the place, and I saw a Prattville Police Officer parked on the side of the road. I pulled up, rolled down the window and asked .."excuse me ... can you give me directions to the Cathouse?" I spent 12 hours in jail and have a September court date .... I'm never leaving Tallapoosa County again. :)

I hit something submerged and my prop got damaged. Hitched the boat to the truck and told my better half I was going to see Steve at the Cathouse to get my prop fixed. Boat is doing great. Doctor says I'll be released from the hospital in a few more weeks.

Yep, "Just A Guy", you get in the same boat they're in. You gonna get scratched by a CAT.

Cat you need a camera operator on the boat to document your impressive and incredible win in this event.
Gulf Coast and Fast boats,
Give me a call, you have my card,
I may know some one that will film it for you and they work for beer, board and boiled peanuts.
