An actual catfish farm that has a restaurant open only Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, each night offering a full menu as well as one or two AYCE specials. I went on a Friday night, specifically for the AYCE catfish, your choice, whole or fillets. Served &#8216;family style&#8221; your entree is accompanied by a sweet and tangy creamy slaw, and waffle fries. Full bar, and drinks are pretty cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the kicker. Be prepared to wait. And wait. And wait. We arrived at 5pm figuring we&#8217;d slide right in, but we waited a full two hours to be seated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we were, and ordered, dinner comes fast as long as you order the specials. I can&#8217;t speak to the speed of the other menu items. The night I was there people were ordering the catfish or a Flintstones-sized slab of beef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you&#8217;re waiting, if the weather is pleasant, there are plenty of natural features to see outside, some ponds, a waterfall, plenty of wild fowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your GPS to get there. I mean it. Otherwise you&#8217;ll end up like me driving down the road and saying repeatedly &#8220;this can&#8217;t be right!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blufflakecatfishfarm.com\/menu\/\">Full menu<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23758\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23758\" style=\"width: 246px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-23758\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bluff-onions-2-246x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bluff Lake Catfish Farm Review\" width=\"246\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Perfect Onion Rings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-23756\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190809_193848-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bluff Lake Catfish Farm Review\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n\n<div id=\"res_widget\" class=\"widget_wrap\" style=\"width: 315px; height: 320px;\">\n<div style=\"z-index: 2; display: block; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: center; position: relative; font-size: 12px;\"><a id=\"zomatoRestaurantWidget_btn\" style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #252525; font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Avenir Next', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Segoe UI, Arial, sans-serif; background: url('https:\/\/b.zmtcdn.com\/images\/widgets\/zlogo_20.png') #fff left center no-repeat; display: block; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; border-radius: 4px; text-align: left; line-height: 20px; padding: 0 8px 0 28px; position: absolute; top: 20px; left: 10px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/maquoketa-ia\/bluff-lake-catfish-farm-maquoketa?utm_source=referral-widget-17400102&amp;utm_medium=restaurant_information_badge&amp;utm_campaign=widget-business\" target=\"_newtab\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bookmark us on Zomato<\/a><\/div>\n<iframe id=\"res_widget_frame\" style=\"display: block; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/widgets\/restaurant_widget_reviews_frame.php?show_menu=1&amp;show_reviews=0&amp;res_id=17400102&amp;height=615&amp;language_id=1\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Bluff Lake Catfish Farm Review Bluff Lake Catfish Farm Review<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bluff Lake Catfish Farm Review You must do this once, at least.
