The shrimp remoulade was great. Catfish not nearly as good as it was years ago. So sad about that. My friends had the oysters and said they were very good. Service and atmosphere very good.
Middendorf’s is a longstanding seafood restaurant in Manchac, LA situated between the brackish lakes of Maurepas and Ponchartrain. It’s best known as the "Home of the World Famous Original Thin Fried Catfish®.” The same mouthwatering recipe has been used since Middendorf’s was established in 1934.
The family friendly restaurant features seasonal outdoor waterfront dining; a sand play area for kids with a Fishing Wishing Well/Fountain and palm trees; an animal enclosure with chicken, ducks, geese, fish and more; Middendorf’s Express G model train which delights children of all ages; and a stunning, huge timeline chronicling the history of Middendorf’s and the surrounding area.
