Always good to see familiar faces like Patricia. Food was good and the service. Do not like the 3.5 % added if you use a credit card. Many people do not carry cash with them. You are penalized if you do not pay with cash and the meal is already about $20 per person at the minimum

Great place for great food. The food is always hot and tasty. The price is reasonable. I always get the catfish steaks which have more flavor. You may have to navigate an occasional bone or two but it's worth it.

I have always enjoyed Boyette's. Great fish and everything else is good as well. My new husband's first time visiting and we weren't disappointed. He is from North Carolina and a HUGE history buff. He enjoyed the history of the area as well. Enjoyed bringing my Mom for her birthday.

You better come hungry!! My wife and I saw that our dinner came with fries, onion rings, coleslaw, white or green beans, hush puppies or roll. We assumed we chose a couple of the items. WRONG!! It came with all of them. And not just a few of each, they were full orders. Definitely worth the price, but come hungry!

I have been coming her for as long as I can remember but the last two times was not a great experience. Today: they did not have tartar sauce and wasn't told until after we all ordered the all you have eat fish. I mean seriously??? I was told by the owner is was because they didn't have time to make it! Seriously that's sad. The fish was extra done, not nowhere their normal. The chicken strips was full of cartilage! And now they make you pay a credit card processor fee without telling you 1st. I don't think I can recommend this place or be back! the world famous Boyettes is done! 2024!

Update: my partner and I came back to celebrate my birthday. We arrived about 2-3 hours before closing. They had a few patrons inside (some looking at menus) but looked like a slow night. About 3 seconds after entering, a woman (we had never seen before) VERY aggressively let us know they were closed (even though they clearly weren't) and we weren't welcome there. I personally felt a bit blinded and shocked by the interaction. Never been treated that way from any other establishment in town or even during prior visits here. Idk what to make of it honestly but it was evident we were not welcome there so it's highly unlikely we'll be back. 😔 .............. This place is AMAZING!! I can't wait to come back, the food and atmosphere were awesome and the wait staff really aimed to please. I had never had frog legs before but I tried there's and it was delightful. Great place and family friendly. Prices were really reasonable too!!

We tried the frog legs this time & they were delicious! The kids love the kids menu! Some traditions don’t need change. This place has been around for 100 years & I wouldn’t change a thing ! 10/10

My brother and I took our mother to eat lunch for her birthday yesterday. We’ve always loved Boyette’s, but yesterday they were busy and the service we are used to wasn’t there. When two grown men get all you can eat fish and country ham don’t bring 3 pieces of fish to the table for them to share. I don’t know who’s in charge of that but fix it. Also if you have a large party you are also waiting on just do it and don’t tell me about it because my money is just as hard to come by as theirs if not more so. You can’t please everyone all the time, and I understand this. That is why this is still a 5 star review because I still highly recommend them! Just keep the little people in mind.

The best place in Tennessee to eat Fish or County Ham with all the extras. Boyettes has been serving Catfish or Country Ham dinners complete with their own recipe onion rings, fries, beans, and hush puppies or rolls for several decades. The restaurant is owned by a local family and has been in business continuously for more than 100 years. If you like Catfish or Country Ham, you will get very full and you will not be disappointed.

(UPDATE 3/3/2024: Food was delicious again! Catfish was fresh. White beans were fresh and very tasty. Onion rings were pretty yummy, too! Hushpuppies are always good. The server was very knowledgeable about menu items. She was attentive and friendly.) Our food is always delicious and fresh! We keep coming back for more. The catfish is so good. I wish I had taken pics of our food. So much food comes with your plate. Bring your appetite, or you will need a doggie bag!

Talk about the Memories, and I've probably only been there maybe 7 times, but it goes back to the 1960's. Pleased to know they're still Actively in Business! God Bless them, the beacon of light that kept that area from rusting into a bad B Movie sorta town, as almost all these small towns had become - empty Main Streets, while everyone shops Walmart in their local "County-seat burg", Amazon, Lowes, Bass Pro, and Kroger's (I'll share a glimpse of back when, and Boyettes was barely a day over 42 back then, their menu just about the same as today, only they weren't using the "Corn Oil" that has now been realized as being the worse product the Department of Agriculture ever sold the US Public. I'm pretty sure they were using Lard and maybe Shortening, the good kind that was made of Coconut Oil and Lard mix, not the Vegetable Oil Shortening like Crisco. (The Modify the Oil for Shelf life, and it is not at all healthy to consume for Human Life. Remember that. Lard it literally safer, but it is high in fat. Get the old Shortening recipe and make some, you can taste the value of better and it is healthier. At any rate, they had Country Ham and Fried Crappie in Season; Really Good, ... Boyettes has been like a Beacon of Light, reminding folks of times when we made an effort to be polite, we had manners, and even at 35 or 50, we wouldn't embarrass our Parents with our words or behavior in Public. Not talking about Religion, I'm talking about Mature Minded Behavior and a Personal Standard of Politeness and of Ethics. It was a such neat time and Now can be just as wonderful if we Turn Off the News/Political/Flow that Fosters the Lower Mind and makes folks behave like Adolescents without any Charm School Training. Boyettes, like a Lighthouse Beacon, keeping the energy alive all these years ... I can remember going to Boyettes when I was maybe 3 or 4, 1963. It was when Dad 1st moved us to Kenton, TN, Obion County, (his home) from Chicago. Although I was well entertained, it was a fleeting experience, I truly missed living in Chicago, vastly more things for children, particularly in the famous Northside Chicago, Downtown, by Lincoln Park, and Lakeshore Drive, Lake Michigan, Wrigley Field, and Riverview, oh the fabulous memories. But, it was different in NW Tennessee then too, there were things to do, even if restricted to planning or weekends, people were active, outgoing, neighborhoods were zones of people getting together for cookouts and visiting each other. And the kids lived outside all day, minus lunch and forced naps. I recall going to 🏹 Reelfoot Lake, in 1963, * was 3 or 4, and a Chicago native 💛🐾 (G9 CUBS!!!) ... we had a Family Reunion of sorts at the Park, grills were going and there were at least 3 tables of the best foods you can imagine, (My Dad's family were absolutely the best Southern cooks, by Southern Standards!) We spent the day at the Park, (back then, there was a little train that ran around the Park area, a Gift shop; the pier; a nice Pontoon Boat for excursions on the Lake/Dad took me on it and I was certain there were alligators in those waters, at least I recognized a Swamp Environment; there was a "Roundhouse "that was packed with teenagers dancing, my 3 elder siblings were 15, 17, and 19, I always had at least 1 dance before leaving them to their fun and getting Mom and or Grandmother to myself for a while. That's a sweet Mem. ... and so is Boyettes and Reelfoot Lake. I remember Magnolia Beach! They had best Grape Ice Cones! But that's another Story and I've digressed enough. Enjoy Yourself, your Family and Friends ... at Boyettes! , I have relatives in that area You have a good time cause you're supposed to ! ☘️🏹

I've ate here a few times, I know everyone gushes over how good it is, maybe it's just not my type of favorite fish.

I was very disappointed with my service and food at Boyette’s chicken was cold so I sent it back and was told they would get me fresh chicken and all they did was drop it back in the grease and bring the same chicken out! That was burned at this point. They The waitress was rude and confrontational. I watched waitresses coughing in their hands and not wash them and continued to serve!

Wow. I can definitely see why this place is so recommended. The food here is fresh and delicious and the prices are extremely reasonable. Probably the cheapest dinner I’ve had in a couple years especially for the amount of food you receive. I had the fried catfish which is apparently really well known in this town. It, as well as this restaurant came highly recommended from all the locals and it didn’t disappoint. Staff was very friendly. My waitress was really nice and brought out two kinds of sauce, one homemade and one store bought and explained the difference just in case I didn’t like one or the other. The homemade was the better option obviously lol. I’ll be back in this area and I can’t wait to try more off the menu.

Boyette’s is not the kind of place that you can find anywhere. The restaurant sits across from the lake. They have been frying catfish and onion rings for over a hundred years. The food is excellent. They make their own tarter sauce and yeast rolls. Try their stewed apples and country ham. Get there before 4 pm and you might not have to wait in line.
