The restaurant is owned and operated by Doug Wood, a local who comes from a long line of restauranteurs. It seems as though running a restaurant runs in his blood!
Even though Catfish Charlie’s is in northern Louisiana, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into the swamps of Cajun Country when you walk through the doors.

It’s a humble, no-frills, all-flavors kind of joint. It’s a casual, family-friendly restaurant with a fun, quirky vibe to it. Take a minute to admire the unique decor on the walls. It’s not every day you see boat motors as decoration!
