"Oysters Catfish. There are 3 eateries within walking distance of my house, so I decided to skip Arby's and Thundercloud and gave the humble looking Austin Diner a try. I came here around 8:00 on a Friday night. The waitress was very friendly and attentive, and the inside of the restaurant was cozy and warm, having everything you'd expect to see in a diner. She recommended the Catfish, which was $8.99 with two sides, or the Catfish Oyster Combo which was $9.29, so I went for the combo with fried eggplant w/marinara and mashed potatoes gravy. The food arrived a few minutes later, with a generous amount of fried oysters, a catfish filet, and a good chunk of cornbread. The catfish was delicious and tender, and the oysters were similarly cooked and slightly crunchy. The mashed potatoes were great. I really liked the fried eggplant and marinara. I am glad I skipped Arby's for a change and tried something new. I'll probably be coming back to the Austin Diner some more in the near future, next time hopefully for breakfast."
