I can and do backroad to docs about once a month, very good fish. The westshore restaurant is just down the road and some around here like it better, to me there is no contest, Docs hands down
There is a little joint just south of Fouke called Spruells. It USED to be the best ever...would put it up against Dougs any day. I don't know why happened but about 10 years ago it went downhill. I gave it a second chance but it was just as bad I I havnt went back. It's a shame too, their sides were just as good as the fish
Since the introduction of pangasios fish to the U.S. I am going to say no restaurant cat fish is worthy. It's tasteless, you're only tasting the seasoning ....
You ever looked at how the catfish production in the U.S. has dropped to almost nothing ? Almost NONE in Arkansas anymore and it once was a HUGE business .
Smoking Buns is pretty good. Pruitt's in Lonoke is pretty good too but it's a small place. I've eaten at the big table with strangers many times.
For steak, if your are in Dumas on a Thursday - Saturday night with a bit extra $$ in your pocket go to Taylor's. I ate way past being full but a baked potato, steak, and one beer was $48.
Ron's is probably the best in our area. So many places now serve fish that is off flavor. I just won't eat it, and to look at me, you can tell that I don't pass up much. BIL raised catfish for over 20 years. There's a lot more to growing quality fish than most people think, and if you don't start with quality fish, nothing you do after that really matters.

We've had the best BBQ debate. What's the best catfish (restaurant) you've ever eaten.
My #1. I ate at the catfish resturaunt in Dewitt last year during the gator hunt. Had the "river fish". It was lights out and I eat fish 1-2 times a week.
Disclaimer: Doug makes the best fish period. Caught and fried at home is usually better I know
Was this at the Catfish Shack over by Dollar or at the Bull Pen?
I've had both and they each of them are pretty good. Especially like the frog legs at the Catfish Shack.
A&C in Humphrey is good too.
