Jumpin' Catfish
4.2 / 5 (324 reviews)

Description

Jumpin' Catfish offers generous portions of Southern-style fare, particularly praised for its catfish, livers, gizzards, and classic sides like ham and beans and coleslaw. Many diners appreciate the attentive service and welcoming atmosphere, making it a beloved local staple. However, there are mixed opinions on seasoning—some find dishes underwhelming or overly salty, especially the hush puppies and crab legs. All-you-can-eat options come with strict sharing rules that some may find off-putting. While many would return regularly if nearby, others feel the flavors occasionally miss the mark, leaving room for improvement in consistency.

Catfish was amazing! Livers and gizzards were excellent! Ham and beans, coleslaw, and hushpuppies were great! Our server, Michael, was very attentive and friendly. I don't know why it's been so long since I've eaten here, but I will for sure come back soon!

We love Jumpin' Catfish. Portion sizes and food are great, takeout and in house ordering have both gone well. They give you plenty of beans and slaw too if that's your thing. A longtime Olathe staple we always enjoy.

Okay! Nothing to shout about. Weird all you can eat rules, and pricing. I had all you can eat fish. I was told I can't share the meal all you can eat. Food was so, so..., Most likely will not return.
