1951 Oak Harbor Blvd
Slidell, LA 70461
Middendorf’s Slidell is the second location of the iconic Louisiana Restaurant known as the “Home of the World Famous Original Thin Fried Catfish®." The same Thin Fried Catfish recipe has been used since Middendorf’s was established back in 1934. The restaurant has come a long way in 90 years. Our buildings might be big now, but we're still a small business, locally owned and operated. We're a family-friendly seafood restaurant filled with beautiful wood, down-home comfort and a touch of whimsy. We're conveniently located right off I-10 with plenty of parking -- even for buses and RVs. We have indoor and outdoor dining available. Outside, we have The Porch which is open-air, relaxing, and always seems to have a lovely breeze. The Porch overlooks an inviting Sand Play Area for the kids featuring palm trees, tiki huts and water fountains.

31/2 stars. Place is huge. Grease was not clean. When you fry most of your food, clean your oil!. Prices a little steep. Potato salad is gross. Catfish is always good.
