The Black-owned, family-operated[1] fast casual restaurant's menu was catfish-heavy but also included gumbo, the Ohbama burger,[2] hushpuppies, prawns, snapper and other seafood and soul food[3][4] items such as fish and chips,[5] coleslaw, collard greens, candied sweet potatoes, and rice and beans.

[6] Spouses Woodrow (Woody) and Rosemary (Rosie) Jackson opened Catfish Corner on East Cherry Street at Martin Luther King Jr., in the Central District, in 1985.

[21][22] The Infatuation's Carlo Mantuano wrote: "Catfish Corner's return to the Central District after a 12-year hiatus is a huge deal.

Talk to anybody who lived or worked in the area in the '90s and you'll likely hear stories of post-workday fried seafood or lunchtime Southern sides.

[4][27] When David Brewster was writing anonymous restaurant reviews for the newsletter A Gourmet's Notebook, he said Catfish Corner had "very fine fast food".
