The Alley
A Little Alley with a Lot of Soul
We're Catfish Alley, a Southern-style seafood spot tucked into downtown Kennewick. Everything comes out of the kitchen made to order, so the catfish hits the table hot, crisp and gold, the way it should be.
Our menu runs on Southern comfort: cornmeal-crusted catfish and red snapper, house and coconut shrimp, Cajun shrimp tacos, mac and cheese, crawfish pasta and a clam chowder folks keep coming back for. There's outdoor seating, a little music, and no rushing good food.
We keep weekend hours on purpose, so when you come in you're getting our full attention and a basket worth the drive. Pull up, order at the board, and let us take care of the rest.

“This place has the vibe! Music for everyone, delicious seafood and clam chowder! I'm from Texas and I didn't know food could taste so good way up here in Kennewick.”
“This place serves the best southern-style food I've ever had. The chef was incredibly fast, making my catfish sandwich and nuggets in no time. If you're not going to Catfish Alley, you're missing out!”
“Found this on google and they did not disappoint. The catfish was hot and crispy. I will be sure to stop each and every time I pass through. Can't wait!”
