About Us

Middendorf’s Slidell is the second location of the iconic Louisiana Restaurant known as the “Home of the World Famous Original Thin Fried Catfish®.” It officially opened on July 4th 2019 — the restaurant’s 85th Anniversary. Middendorf’s Slidell is a family-friendly restaurant with the same look and feel as the original Middendorf’s — a grand, white building topped with the signature Middendorf’s humps and filled with beautiful wood, down-home comfort and a touch of whimsy. Venture outside, and you’ll find an open-air porch overlooking an inviting sand/play area for the kids with fountains, palm trees and tiki huts. Eventually, there will be a pond out there too. We’re all about food and fun at Middendorf’s. We want our guests to leave with good memories, full stomachs and a hankering to visit us again really soon. #dorfer4life
