Desis Downtown And Catering - Crestview

The buffet was great. I had the pork tips over rice, green beans, catfish, hushpuppy and tea. Waitresses are very attentive and kind.

Food was absolutely amazing. Tasted like grandma's cooking.

Great for lunch, so so for dinner. Would still go there, especially for the service and their catfish.

Maybe I went on an off day! I'm seeing these reviews and think that I ate at a completely different restaurant. First of all, I was taken aback by the giant Trump Triump sign on the door. That, Fox news on the TV, and the new U.S and Israeli flags on the wall, shows me that they only intend to cater to a certain segment of people. Or be glad to accept anyone's money, while disrespecting them in their face.. So with that, they don't share my business sense or my openness to all people, so I won't go back. However, back to the food. The servers were friendly, the food was less than average. From the extreme salt taste and the blandness, most is obviously from cans. The mac n cheese was creamy but salty and short on cheese flavor. The catfish and mullet wete both decent tasting. The seafood pasta was salty, but ok. The gumbo, after constantly picking out the bark pieces from the okra, was ok. That's a canned thing, if you don't know. Take it from a Louisiana boy. The rutabagas and sweet tea were both really good. Very overpriced for the quality and selection.

Desi’s is that small home town restaurant that everyone loves. The food is served buffet style with different main dish options depending on the day. Fried chicken everyday and Fried Fish Fridays. Pros: -The main dishes are excellent. -Service is quick and they are always smiling. -You get that small hometown feel. Cons: -Some of the sides can seem a little cafeteria like. -As with most restaurants these days .. prices are up. Highlight: The bread pudding is to absolutely die for !!! We give Desi’s a GUILTY verdict for a must try.
