Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Middendorf's Restaurant has a long family history dating back to 1929, when Louis Middendorf moved his family back to his wife Josie’s hometown in Manchac, New Orleans, after the market crash. Over the years, the restaurant was passed down through the family, featuring all the original recipes from Josie herself, including the famous house specialty, thin fried catfish.

In 2007, with no family to pass it on to, the restaurant was purchased by New Orleans couple Horst and Karen Pfeifer. They continue to serve up the famed fried catfish and Josie’s other dishes, while also adding a few of their own.
