Lassis Inn

I heard this place is legendary in Little Rock so I went and got why. They serve catfish and buffalo fish ribs that feel like crunchy treasures from Southern history. This diner has serious roots—civil rights leaders used to meet here, and it has that badge of honor from the James Beard people. I had a plate of catfish hush puppies and coleslaw sat quietly and felt like I was part of something much bigger than fish and grease. Price was modest mood was deep food was memorable.

The fish was good. They are using U.S. pond raised catfish. I had not been here in years, and now I remember why. I call ahead with my order, and it was still not ready 20 minutes later when I got there. This neighborhood icon has been there for a long time. This restaurant is a little converted house next to the freeway. The fish is always cooked to order. They will only allow ten dine-in customers at a time. I will have to come back when the dining room Is fully open and enjoy a cold beer while my order is being prepared.

I adore this location! The catfish steaks were mine. They had the ideal crunch and were meaty and soft. The greatest hushpuppies I've ever had were those. Next time, I should try to order a basket of those. The fries had a crispy exterior and a soft interior. The level of hospitality was amazing. My favorite spot in LR for catfishing is this one. Nothing is superior. For a period.

I love this place! I owned the catfish steaks. They were soft and meaty, with just the right amount of crunch. Those were the best hushpuppies I've ever owned. I should try to order a basket of those the next time. The fries were mushy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The hospitality was outstanding. This is my favorite location for catfishing in LR. There is nothing better. For a while.

Possibly the best catfish in the city. It's an intimate and friendly spot. Charmingly old school. Don't let the exterior fool you it's great inside. The awards pictured show I am not exaggerating! They have adapted well to the COVID precautions.
