Catfish Hill - Del Valle, TX

Open now for more than thirty years, Catfish Hill has its own ponds from which the fish are caught daily.

It is a simple feast, and a culinary treasure.

"Catfish Hill is one building among a compound on the family catfish farm. There is no sign indicating it is the dining room, but once supper starts, follow the aroma of sweet fried catfish and you'll be sure to find it."
