Eat My Catfish lease signing with Travis Hester and his business partner.
Benton-based Eat My Catfish has announced construction on a new location in Little Rock. The restaurant will open at 10301 N Rodney Parham Rd, the former location of Barbara Graves. The plaza sits directly in front of the Breckenridge Theatre at the corner of I-430 and Rodney Parham Rd. Eat My Catfish started as a food truck in Benton in 2008. Owner and President Travis Hester was 24 at the time. In January of 2012, Hester opened their first brick & mortar location in Benton, and their second in Conway in 2013. Eat My Catfish currently operates these two dine-in restaurants, as well as two on-site catering trailers. In 2015, they catered over 350 events. They are also the largest seller of crawfish (cooked and live) in the state of Arkansas, and the 2016 winner of Arkansas Times’ “Best Seafood around the State” award. The new Little Rock store have live crawfish and fresh Gulf Shrimp available for purchase. Diners can expect a wide variety of quick-serve food, including catfish, crawfish, chicken, shrimp, and more. Their philosophy is simple, start with good fresh food, serve it fast and give great customer service. Each location provides ample seating indoors, and the Benton and Little Rock locations include outdoor patio seating. The new restaurant is expected to open in June of 2016 – just in time for Fourth of July crawfish boils. For more information about Eat My Catfish, visit eatmycatfish.com.
