About Murdock's
The Murdock’s Story
In 1995, when Ryan Shelton was just 6 years old, his father, Ron Shelton, opened up a large catfish buffet on the west side of Jonesboro, Arkansas. The buffet-style restaurant was called ‘Ron’s Catfish Buffet”. Although business didn’t flock to Ron’s immediately due to its “off the beaten path” location, within a couple of years Ron’s was well on its way to becoming the destination catfish buffet it is today. Ryan worked at the buffet from the time he was a young boy until he graduated from college in 2011. In 2014, the father and son duo decided it was time to create a new way to serve their famous catfish and open up a restaurant with a totally different concept than Ron’s. Murdock’s Catfish was born and opened in Jonesboro on April 14, 2014. Using a quick-serve style concept complete with a drive-thru speaker system and fast counter-service, Murdock’s Catfish was an instant success. Customers loved the fact they could grab a hot, fresh fish plate through a drive-thru window without having to call ahead. They also loved being able to enjoy their favorite catfish and sides without trying to eat their money’s worth at the buffet! With items like shrimp po’ boys, fried crawfish tails, and grilled catfish fillets, Murdock’s became known for more than just great fried catfish. The Shelton’s opened a second Murdock’s location in Paragould, Arkansas in November of 2014 and a third location on Main Street in Jonesboro. Ryan and Ron are proud of the successes their restaurants have had, but they know that those successes are not possible without the support of their customers. That’s why Murdock’s strives to provide a great customer experience backed up by a great product! “Make it Murdock’s…’cause we make it great!” |
