Great experience! The catfish filets were big and meaty, the fried okra and French fries were crispy, and the baked beans were delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating available which was nice. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

Well worth the wait. This place easily had close to 100 people in and out while I was there. The food was absolutely scrumptious and the service friendly. I left full but light. We had just about everything on the menu and wasn't dissapointed with any selection. I am going to eat here again probably within the next day or two. :)

Been wanting to try them for a while, finally got to go. I got the chicken finger meal w/ double cheese grits (they were perfect, I should have gotten a larger one), it was really good, the cheese grits really improved my mood, Now I need to work through the menu. Walden's is worth the visit, you won't regret it.

We found this place on one of our adventures. Great fried catfish, hush puppies and baked beans. The customer service is great. There was a long drive thru but it moved quickly and efficiently.

Family owned! This is our favorite place to go for catfish! Their filets are the best. The coleslaw, hush puppies, and cheese grits are out of this world. I haven't found a better catfish restaurant around! We go at least 3 times a month maybe more! The owners are the nicest people as well!

We were doing some shopping in Covington and didn't want fast food. we found Walden's and we are hooked (pun intended). The fish, chicken, shrimp and salad were all amazing. But the cheese grits are in a class by themselves. Highly Recommend!
