Our take

Verified Mar 1, 2025

Big John’s has the best fried catfish in Huntsville, in our opinion. If you know somewhere better, tell us.

We also got two small orders of fries: the loaded buffalo fries and the rooftop fries.

You’ll find Big John’s at The Open Bottle. They’re only open Thursday to Saturday, 4 to 9pm, so plan ahead.
