Chef Marcus is a genious! The menu is filled with plenty of choices for those wanting REAL Creole cuisine. The food is UNBELIEVABLE!!! There is no better place for Creole cooking in Southern California. Catfish-Gumbo is a MUST! more

We were in Lancaster last weekend for a soccer tournament and saw the reviews here so decided to try it out. Marcus the owner was amazing. The food was fantastic and he even stayed open late just to make sure our party could all get there in time after the game. We will go back again for sure! more

My goal is to try everything on the menu. . . not just because the food is SO good, but because it will give me a reason to go back and spend time in one of the most welcoming restaurant atmospheres ever. From the minute you walk in to Catfish Gumbo, you have a new friend in executive chef (and... more

Not only is the food over the top delicious but beautifully presented. Every item on the menu is a winner and if you’d like it tweaked a little to better suit your tastes they’ve got you covered. Super friendly service and very reasonably priced. No other restaurant in the AV comes close to what they’ve got going on at Catfish... more

Marcus and his staff are always so friendly and accomodating. The food is spectacular -- Marcus will make you a believer with his culinary prowess -- jambalaya, gumbo, sweet potato fries, jerk chicken, honey jerk pork loin, blackened chicken, etc. Both of the desserts (brandy glazed bread pudding and banana pecan spiced rum cake) are phenomenal. My tastebuds and tummy... more

Here's another great little 'hole in the wall' restaurant hidden in a strip mall. I'm a big fan of decent gumbo and these folks do it right!!! I also had their Blackened Catfish Dennard smothered with seafood etouffee. A generous portion of catfish and the etouffee was perfectly seasoned - a nice bite without setting you on fire. I can't... more

The food at Catfish Gumbo is absolutely awesome!!! Everything on the menu is personally cooked by Marcus Webster, the owner, and he cooks it perfectly. His food actually has flavor to it because he uses all kinds of spices and seasonings to make his food taste better than anything else around town. I grew up in Florida and moved out... more

I heard about this restaurant from a friend. My son and I went and thought the food was outstanding. And the price was great too ! I had the gumbo and my son had the catfish. That's just a start because I'm coming back and go straight down the menu. My roots are from Louisiana and I love cajun food.... more

I found this place by accident. It's next to a AT&T store. And in back of the Target on K street. I just moved back to Calif. from the south Georgia and was craving some good "Orlean's" spicy food. This place is fantastic! The owner, "Mark" is from Ft. Smith Arkansas, and has worked in many finw culinary assignments in... more
