Catfish Hotel

06/10/2026

There’s something about a Sunday that slows the world down just enough to remember what matters.

Last week we were blessed with the company of some truly wonderful folks after church — Lisa Holt, Wayne and Sandra Eliff, and Gail Cherry. Good people, good conversation, and the kind of visit that reminds you why this old place has been here all these years.

We’re grateful. Plain and simple. 🙏

“Cult status.” Now there’s a phrase Papaw and Mamaw never expected to see attached to their catfish recipe. 😂

We’re pretty sure what they mean is: people come once, and then they just… keep coming back. Turns out golden-fried catfish, hush puppies, and a Tennessee River view will do that to you. We’re not complaining.

Come see what all the completely normal, non-cult-like fuss is about. 👇

Fried fish this good doesn't stay a secret in Tennessee for long.

🌿 The universe has a sense of humor. And apparently, it reads Southern Living.The very same week the June issue of Southern Living dropped — with Hagy’s Catfish Hotel featured inside — I was digging around in a cabinet I haven’t opened in Lord knows how long, and there it was. A Southern Living from 1982, just sitting there like it had been waiting on me.Forty-some years between those two magazines, and here I am holding them both in the same hands.I don’t believe much in coincidence. I believe in signs. Some stories are too old and too rooted to ever really end — they just keep resurfacing, like a catfish rising slow out of deep water, right when you need reminding of where you come from.What was the universe saying to me? 👇 Watch the video and tell me what you think.

Some traditions are worth the drive.

The Haggard family from Waynesboro came through our doors today…four generations together at one table. Deep Wayne County roots, and it shows. Just good, gracious people who make you feel glad for the work you do.

They’ve been coming here for years, honoring a tradition dear to the whole family. We are humbled to be part of their celebrations!

Safe travels home, Haggards. Come back soon. 🐟

🎣 We are so honored — and Southern Living made it official!

A huge thank you to Savannah’s own Brett Maverick for bringing his date to Hagy’s Catfish Hotel on FOX’s Farmer Wants a Wife — and for the kind words about our little spot on the Tennessee River. Brett, you’re welcome at our table anytime! 🤍

When you want to show someone the real South, you bring them somewhere that’s been doing it right for generations. We’re grateful Brett felt the same way.

🎂🐟 Happy 100th Birthday, Mary Gilliam! 🐟🎂

When Mary Gilliam’s daughter Judy asked her where she wanted to celebrate her 100th birthday, the answer came without a moment’s hesitation — “At the Catfish!”

Judy gently reminded her they’d already been in three times that week. Mary’s reply? “There is no better place to eat than Hagy’s!”

Now THAT is a woman who knows what she wants — and has impeccable taste! 🙌

Mary, you are one of the most loyal, sharp-minded, and sweetest souls to ever pull up a chair at our tables. It is an absolute honor to be your favorite place on earth. We hope you’re celebrating today with a big plate of the catfish you love, surrounded by the people who love you most.

Here’s to 100 years well lived — and many more meals shared with us! 🎉

We love you, Mary. Thank you for choosing Hagy’s, again and again… and again. 😄❤️
