I was looking for some fish to eat on my way back to Spokane. Found this on google and they did not disappoint. The catfish was hot and crispy. However to me the stars were the fries. The fries were hot and cooked all of the way and seasoned well. I would recommend this place to everyone. I will be sure to stop each and every time I pass through. Can't wait!

The Crawfish pasta is amazing! I cannot wait to try everything on this menu. I miss southern food so bad this is the closest I can get. The flavor is delicious truly. Will be my husband's and I monthly date night place. You might have to wait a minute while the one man who owns this business Cooks. I'd call ahead if you have a big orde, but it is worth trying.

Oh my goodness!!!!!! AMAZING fish and chips!!!! Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! I tried the popular catfish tacos- (3 total) they were huge and LOADED and DELICIOUS!!! Their portions were very generous, the catfish was FRESH and the breading was LIGHT and CRISPY ! Their sauces were so tasty! Excellent seasoned fries...My husband tried their coconut shrimp, catfish, chicken wing sampler- amazing!!!! They have have so many options on their menu to choose from, clam chowder, shrimp burger, shrimp tacos, even bbq sauce chicken wings and lots more . This was our 1st time there, we will definitely go back! It did take about 20 mins to get our order but so worth the wait!.....I highly recommend them!!!!! 10 Stars if I could!!!!

Holy smokes, this food is delicious . My son and I had the shrimp special tonight and both agreed the seasonings and cook of the food was spot on. And the sauce? SO good! My daughter and son in law had the kids chicken strip meal and the portion was perfect! The sauce that came with these meals was delicious too. My sister and I previously had the tacos ( catfish, chicken and shrimp) and they're delicious! Thank you D!

Dash's Chicken Wings and Catfish Alley are absolutely worth the trip to downtown Kennewick. Damian's air fried, apricot wings were so juicy and full of flavor - you can tell this guy cares about each meal he preps. I also got a spicy chicken sandwich from Catfish Alley, which has a diverse menu of southern meals. The chicken was delicious, and the sweet bun was a perfect combo with the spice. I'm definitely going again.
