If you are looking for friedcatfishinMontgomery County Vernon’s Kuntry Katfish,inConroe,haslong been the mainstay for those wishing to be served piping hot catfish, chicken fried steak and so many other Southern staples I’ve known Ms. Mary Bowers, the owner, for a good while now, and I see her at least once a month at the Lone Star Honor Flight Veterans Group, where she brings breakfast for the gathered Veterans. In fact, I look at herasamotherlyfigure,and hughereverytimeIseeher Her daughter Debbie usuallydealswithallthings media,butforme,Ms.Mary andIsatdownforafulltwo hours,talkingandsampling, as we made our way across Vernon’smenu. Manygood memories have been had at the restaurant named after herdeceasedhusband.

Katfish didn’t start out the success it is today In fact the empire was birthed as ’Vernon’s One Stop,’the family convenience store (located at the current V’s KuntryBBQ)thatcateredto Lake Conroe visitors. This wasbackinthedaywhenthe lake was billed as ’Hous-

ton’s Playground,’ and SH 105 was only two lanes Kuntry Katfish opened in 1984 at its current location. It was a crude setting back then, with less than a dozen tables, a limited menu of catfish,chickenfriedsteaks, andburgers. Nottomention the parking lot was downright rudimentary meaning don’t be there during a heavy rainstorm And despitetheearlygoing,they hadgreatdayswithmultiple tableturnoversandlinesout the door They’ve since added-onIhere.

Ms. Mary and I started with a small sampling of CrawfishEtouffeeoverrice. Thecrawfishwerebathedin a rich and flavorful Cajun Cream sauce with onions and bell peppers. It made me want more, but patience grasshopper a journey of hundredsofbitestakestime, and moderation. Ms. Mary and I chatted between courses. I learned of the businesspartnertheybought when they first started the place, when the restaurant wasn’t making any profit early on Thankfully Vernon and Mary believed in themselves which brought about the second sampling, Shrimp Creole over rice. I loved how the

rice absorbed the tomatoey based sauce, made with a hintofspice,celery,onions, andbellpeppers. Ofcourse the shrimp was expertly cookedandperfectlycoated, and balanced out the crispnessofthecelery Both the Crawfish Etouffee and the Shrimp Creole are full mealsinthemselves.

Next, I tried the Blackened Catfish which is grilled. It’s made with an incredible house seasoning. It’s tender, flaky, with the right amount of spice. Not overpowering. AndIwould argueamorehealthywayto

eat catfish Ms Mary shared stories of her days back when She and Vernon were growing the business, when she did the books, handledwaitressing,bussed the tables, and everything elseassociatedwithfrontof house activities Their signature Fried Catfish is greatasalways,andcovered with their cornmeal house seasoning it rocks. I never ask for recipes since I’ve been threatened with death oncetoooften.

When seated at Vernon’s you are always welcomed withacomplimentarysetof

hushpuppies with green tomatorelish. Theyusedto make the relish on-site, but now a supplier has taken on the time consuming task made according to family specifications. It’s a touch of history from the Bowers Family,butyoucanstillbuy itonashelfnearthecounter I add it to my salads for an extrakick.

Chicken Fried Steaks havebeenonVernon’smenu from day one. It’s made from a tried and true family recipe, double dipped in their house seasoning and battered up for frying. It’s so good that Gourmet magazinevisitedjustbefore the turn of the century Sadly, Vernon Bowers himself passed away a few years later in 2001, then Buster took over The restaurant was flooded during Hurricane Harvey in 2017,andthankstoBuster’s leadership the building was saved with the help of employees and customers whoquicklyguttedtheplace inlessthantwodays. Buster was a wonderful and kind man. He treated my own MotherlikeaQueen,andhe did a masterful job until his untimelypassingin2019.

Vernon’shascomealong way since that tiny menu.

Besides the Fried Shrimp and Oysters, the wonderful Fries,ChickenTenders,Fish and Shrimp Tacos, Maryland Crab Cakes, etc., and don’t forget their lunch menuwithallthoseveggies.

Katfish has some wonderful desserts from their banana pudding cobblers, and the pies. The ‘Good Pie,’ their signature sweet course, according to Ms Mary didn’t have a name, until a customer said it was ‘Good,’and asked its name “Good Pie,” said Vernon,onawhim.

If you haven’t been, you gotta try Vernon’s. It’s a bucketlistdestinationifyou live outside Montgomery County They ve experienced sorrow and loss, but they keep the tradition going. And I will always cherishthememoriesofmy Motherattherestaurant. So come on down, and make some memories of your own.
