My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at The Fish House’s newest location in West Monroe, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by several friendly young ladies from our local community — a welcoming touch that instantly made us feel at home. After some pleasant conversation, we were seated in the beautifully appointed West Monroe Room. Our waitress, Anna, was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. She offered some great recommendations, and we followed her lead: my wife enjoyed the classic fried catfish, while I opted for the grilled catfish over jambalaya, paired with turnip greens and a side salad. The food was absolutely top-tier — the grilled fish and jambalaya were perfectly seasoned, and the turnip greens were some of the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were bold yet balanced, and every bite made it clear that the kitchen knows what it’s doing. To top it all off, the owner personally stopped by our table to thank us for dining with them — a gesture that truly underscored the level of care and hospitality they bring to the table. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Great food, great service, and a local touch that makes all the difference. We will definitely be back!

Well, I finally got to try the Fish House in West Monroe. I was wondering if it was going to be close to the one in Sterlington. I must say it has a taste of Sterlington. I went with my go to, a hamburger on a jalapeño bun. You just can’t beat it. My friend got the daily special, beef tips. My overall experience is it’s just bigger. If you have not been to, give it a try! The food has flavor! It’s a taste of Sterlington!
