My wife has never eaten catfish. I've only eaten it fried. Hagy's, bar none, has the best catfish, other fish, and sides that I've had in a long time. My wife had the catfish grilled, and I had it fried. They both were wonderful. The fried catfish, hush puppies were tasty and not at all greasy; a big basket full. Hagy's has a long historic tradition going back to the late 1800s; sits on the bank of the Tennessee River, and is located about a five minutes drive from the Shiloh Battlefield, and not a 15 minute drive from historic Savannah, TN on the Tenn. River.

This interesting landmark is next to the Shiloh battlefield. We went for a late lunch. My lady had the catfish fillets and I had the whole fried catfish. The lunch was good but I sure wish I had ordered the fillets. They were excellent. My whole catfish were not fully cooked and were sort of gross. I'm not one to send food back to the kitchen because I've had some bad experiences with retaliation from the cook. The sides were good and the service was pure Southern hospitality. Next time I'll order the fillets.

Great seafood as well as appetizers. Relaxed atmosphere and nice views along the Tennessee River. We would have never found the restaurant if we weren't visiting friends who live locally. Glad we did

Went here after visiting Shiloh battlefield. A friend from Corinth highly recommended it. It was a beautiful location and food was very good. Everything here was good. Everything was deep fried. All fried food here tasted the same.. Try their tacos or green tomatoes.. Good stuff!!

A fun stop for dinner on our Tennessee road trip. Great food and great service! It is a beautiful location right on the river. Feels like a local hangout. I would definitely recommend the catfish

Tucked away off Highway 22 in Shiloh, TN on the banks of the Tennessee River. Greeted right off the bat and felt like my grandmother was there to take care of us. Such a sweet Waitress. Started with a Strawberry Field Salad w Almonds, Feta Cheese and lite Seed Vinaigrette dressing. It was AMAZING. We both ordered the Catfish Filets with Baked Potato & Hush Puppies. Lite Cornmeal breaded Catfish and Perfectly made Hush Puppies. The Tartar sauce was home made and tasted wonderful and stays refrigerated until requested to be brought out. We topped it off with a Banana Pie with whipped cream and a Caramel Pie that was so rich and sweet tasting. We should have only ordered 1 dessert but wanted to try both. Total cost of meal $45 plus tip. Felt like it was a great value and WILL go back again. This made a great highlight to top off our motorcycle day trip!

Good for catfish and that's about it. Seems like a lot of fried goodness here, nothing really fresh and refreshing. A good cucumber salad would've been nice. The small biscuits and hush puppies were great! Chicken tenders were nothing spectacular. Country ham looked like it had been reused and re-served from customer to customer. The caramel pie was exactly that, tasted just like melted caramel candy bits topped with some whipped cream and nuts. After my meal, I felt diabetes and high blood pressure developing. Not a place for vegetarians either. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, the river is nearby, would've been more scenic if it actually sat on the rivers edge. Probably won't return if I'm in the area, that is unless they start frying less and start using fresh!

I went to Shiloh one day with my family and decided to go to Hagy's Catfish Hotel. I got the grilled shrimp and it was amazing! I recommend this restaurant for anybody that goes to Shiloh.

Best catfish in the South. Taylor Grocery near Oxford, Mississippi comes in a close second but this is it!

Not a fan of catfish? Or any fried greasy unhealthy food for that matter? Then stay away. They don't even serve salad unless you consider heavy on the mayo coleslaw a "green." I only dined here because it was the only and closest restaurant around. But if you love fried foods, this is the place to come and get it.
Our daughters good friend said he was going to take us to get some good catfish after a day at Shiloh.He wasn't kidding.At first I thought it was a joke because we kept driving to nowhere.Then there it was next to the pretty Tennessee River.What a pretty place.All but one of us had the catfish dinner.This was good fish,2 big fillets they have all you can eat but this was plenty. Had fries which are fries after all.Had cole slaw with a honey mustard,French sauce that you put on.This was good slaw.Hush puppies were good as well.To full for desert so we took home a piece of German chocolate pie.Were we glad we did.should have taken 2pieces.This is very good pie.Our friends took a piece of this as well plus a piece of Caramel pie.Said this was just as good as the German Chocolate.Can't imagine.Got there around 4:30 on a Sat.Good thing we did,came out a little after 6:00 and people were setting all around waiting to get in.Locals know where to go.Enjoyed the meal and the very nice staff.So if you spend a day at Shiloh and your hungry make sure to stop at the Catfish Hotel

Get the catfish of course, it's the best. The other seafood is pretty darn good as well. A hidden gem.

Lives up to the hype! When I moved to Tennessee, I have a tremendous craving for catfish. Everybody who I asked for a recommendation pointed me in the direction of Hagy's Catfish Hotel. Great atmosphere, friendly people and fantastic food!

Went here while visiting family in Savannah. I'm not a fan of catfish, but my husband loves it. I got the chicken salad, which is delicious. They make their own salad dressings. Love the hush puppies! The prices are a bit high, but it's a good occasional dinner. It's near the Shilo Civil War museum and park, which is pretty neat. I disagree that nothing here is healthy. They have salads and baked potatoes which are not deep fried. Of course they are a catfish place, so the options for non-fried items are not many, but there are a few.

Sure, it's fried. Nothing on the menu here is what you'd call healthy. If healthy food means good restaurant, then you're living or vacationing in the wrong region of the country. This is a fun place in a gorgeous location on the river with a regional reputation for being the best at serving up fried catfish, hush puppies, etc. You can also get your catfish grilled if you prefer. Yes, the coleslaw is heavy on mayo, but isn't that the definition of coleslaw? I've been on a health kick as of late, so I don't go here much anymore - but that doesn't mean you shouldn't if you want great fried catfish at reasonable prices in a beautiful, historic and interesting location.

The best catfish I've ever had. I tried all three varieties and original batter was still my favorite, but all of it was good. The hushpuppies were great as well. The atmosphere and riverside scenery are wonderful. Certainly not the place to go for healthy food, but if you want some fantastic authentic Southern Comfort food and the best catfish you might ever taste, stop in here. Especially convenient for people visiting the Shiloh Civil War battlefield.

It I'd the best country catfish restaurant that I've ever been to. I think food network should do a special on the history and the great food that is the catfish hotel.located near the Civil War park at Shiloh, Tn. I go there twice a year and I wish I could drive the 3 1/2 hrs. to it cause I probably would.

We took a trip to Pickwick Lake, and saw (on Yelp!, of course) that this was relatively nearby. We followed the GPS directions down The Road to Nowhere until the road suddenly opened up onto a homey-looking restaurant with an amazing river view. We had a short wait to get in, but it was worth it. To start, we had some of the best onion rings that I've had anywhere. The side salads all came with house made dressings-D said their blue cheese dressing was the best he's eaten. (It sure looked chunky, anyway...) The hushpuppies were delicious, too. I had shrimp, which were disappointing, and tasted like they might have been frozen. Doug's catfish, however, was delicious! Was it worth a drive from Memphis? Probably not, but it was worth the 30 minutes from Pickwick. If you're in the area, check it out!

On my recent Motorcycle trip from Plano Texas to Rhode Island I camped at Chickasaw State Park, 50 miles from the Catfish Hotel restaurant. It was a long ride just for dinner but well worth the time and gas. I love the ambience of this eatery that looks out at a lazy section of the Tennessee River, tamed by nearby Pickwick dam. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive. I had iced tea, strawberry salad, three whole catfish, hush puppies, and a slice of yummy lemon pie. 100 miles for dinner? You betcha!

Great fish! Great hush puppies! Great strawberry field salad! And totally yummy German chocolate pie!

If you're looking for a swallow-your-tongue catfish dinner, then look no further than the Catfish Hotel in Shiloh. Located just north of Shiloh National Military Park the restaurant is located on the banks of the Tennessee River and affords fantastic views and a rustic, down home character. It somewhat reminds me of a Cracker Barrel without the corporate feel. I've eaten my weight in catfish here over the course of my time on this little blue rock and have never had a bad meal. Tonight was no different; the catfish was hot and fresh with a cornmeal batter that is to die for. Kathy had the melt-in-your-mouth baby back ribs while mom had a ribeye that was cooked to perfection. Homemade hush puppies, their own original-recipe cole slaw, a dinner salad and ice cold sweat tea rounded out the meal. As good as that was, the Pièce de résistance was the incredible, rich, mind blowing Lemon Rub Pie (otherwise known as Chess Pie), a recipe dating back to when the original owners settled this piece of ground in 1838. Great atmosphere, fantastic food and a genuinely friendly wait staff make this place one of my all time favorite restaurants.
