| - We went there because I wanted some really good fried catfish. Having lived in southern Missouri before moving to Wisconsin over a year ago, I have been looking for a good catfish dinner. When I saw "Southern Fried Catfish, Farm Raised, Lightly Breaded and Fried Crisp", listed on The Cheesecake Factory's menu, I couldn't wait to go try it. Well, I can tell you it is nothing at all like real Southern Fried Catfish - I'd give it a 1 compared to real Southern Fried Catfish a 10. It was in 3 chunk pieces and not lightly breaded, but heavy corn meal fried dark brown, and the fish wasn't done in the middle, because it didn't "flake" when you tried to cut it. I actually took most of it home to finish cooking it properly because I didn't want to eat fish that was not fully cooked (fried), and we never send food back to be fixed, because of what might happen to it back in the kitchen. The mashed potatoes were good, but the green beans were almost raw and the corn was pretty dry. This meal was definitely not worth $17.95. And, please don't think their "Southern Fried Catfish" is anything like the real thing because it isn't. I guess you have to go south to get the really good, pond raised, catfish, sliced in long pieces, lightly breaded and fried to a light golden brown - it is so good!
