Casual, family owned and operated restaurant serving New Orleans style Seafood Platters and Po Boys.
Welcome to Paw Paw's Catfish Kitchen!
The ultimate destination restaurant for fresh homeade New Orleans style cooking.
Our goal at Pawpaw's Catfish Kitchen is to bring a taste of New Orleans to the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and serve authentic Cajun Cuisine with down-home hospitality. Located in Wears Valley, just minutes from Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Gatlinburg, and Townsend, we are a unique family owned and operated destination restaurant with a friendly, laid-back (and fun!) atmosphere.
Serving Cajun, Creole, Seafood, Po Boys, Grilled, Barbeque, Etouffee, Gumbo, Jambalaya, Red Beans and Rice, and much more, all of our dishes are prepared fresh when ordered and our special fry batters and sauces are made from scratch daily.
Our customers consider our Fried Catfish to be the best in East Tennessee!
Enjoy a batch of boiled crawfish direct from the boats in New Orleans (during season) and don't forget to save room for the specialty of the house--New Orleans White Chocolate Bread Pudding.
Order an iced bottle of beer with your meal anytime but be ready to enjoy the comaraderie of our staff, our good food and...
...Laissez les bons temps rouler!
We're waiting to serve you!
