Sudie's is a family-owned chain that got its start in Pasadena, Texas, in 1983 and has grown steadily in the intervening decades, mostly on the strength of its excellent seafood dishes.

Catfish is the order of the day here at Sudie’s, but there are plenty of other menu options that win raves. Start your meal with the delicious fried pickle chips, which are breaded perfectly. The Cajun boiled crawfish is also a popular appetizer. Moving on to entrees, the blackened catfish is a great way to try Sudie's signature fish, as the seasoning blend wins rave reviews. Other popular main courses include the Magnolia seafood pasta, which pairs catfish and shrimp with fettuccine and a cream sauce, as well as the Tupelo chicken served with crabmeat. A regularly-changing specials board features a variety of fresh catch.

Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous, and service is quick and attentive.
