Great tasting food, generous portions, wonderful friendly and attentive staff. First time eating at Catfish Campus. Hidden gem in Columbia, Tn. that was found by happenstance. What began as a day trip for honey bee supplies, ended up in Catfish Campus heaven. Will be returning soon, with family and friends. Since the first visit, we’ve returned 2 times. Consistent friendly service, delicious food, and great hospitality.
