Belzoni's Catfish Cafe

My order was wrong.. I assume they gave me what was left since it was close to closing time. Won't order again

I got a single catfish meal, wife got a whole catfish in hopes of getting more catfish and no sides. My fillet of catfish had more meat than her whole catfish.My okra was over cooked. The tartar sauce serving was tiny. The ONE hush puppy that came with it was the size of a large French fry. The Mac and cheese was over cooked and was super mushy.Asked for water for everyone and we got bottled water, this is America, water should be free.

I rarely leave reviews but this place is worthy! It's a lil place with big flavor. The food is really fantastic but the atmosphere is dull. It's in a shopping center off 820 not too far from Locked Martin but it feels like your in a Library. The surroundings leave little to be desired but the food is great! The family is from LA and it is clear they put their heart in to it! Fresh taste, great seasoning and pretty much average price for seafood. I give it 4 out of 5 stars and will go back! Check hours of operation cause they are different than most eateries.

So... Mixed review but I'm still giving 5 stars. The catfish was amazing batter was tasty, fish was cooked perfectly (no squishy fishy and no hard bits) and the pieces were a generous size. Can't really say enough food things about their fish... Nailed it! We ordered two two piece baskets. The first one had sweet corn and fries for a side. Sweet corn was fine... Idk watery kind of. Not what I'm used to but not bad. Just not my preferred way of cooking corn. The fries tho... No no no. Over cooked like really on the verge of being burned and they were cooked in dirty oil. Such a bummer after that amazing fish. None of us could eat the fries . The second basket we got with fried okra and green beans. The green beans were great! Reminds me of soul food from back home which just warms my heart and makes my mouth water! That's exactly how I like my beans! The fried okra was ok. Would've been perfect if not for being cooked in that dirty oil. Huge bummer because that is my son's and my favorite fried veggie. The oil pooling under the okra was a let down too... Overall I give the food 3 stars but easily could've been a 5 with clean oil. So why did I give them 5 stars?! From the moment we walked thru the door I could've swore I was at my uncle's place! The guys there went out of their way to be warm and welcoming. Even stopped by the table and talked with my young son while he was stuffing green beans in his mouth. He told my son how it warmed his heart to see a little guy loving those veggies... Y'all my son thought he was Mr Cool after that and told his sisters all about that interaction ?? The small complaints about the food pale next to the amazing service we got.

Well, I have been trying to get to this place for a while now. The hours are a bit different but I was able to get there on a Saturday. We were greeted immediately and sat with some nice conversation. I had the 2 piece catfish plate with corn and macaroni. Everything was great, catfish breading was perfect and seasoned well. Corn was excellent and the macaroni was good but not as good as everything else. My wife got okra and fries as her sides, all great and the okra is a little darker but I think that it from the breading or seasoning. Give this place a shot, very good catfish . I ATE AT THE RESTAURANT, my food was not sitting and waiting to be picked up and then delivered.(yeah let fried food sit for 30-45 minutes and review it)Oh, I had a sweet potato pie. He told me it was better than Patty's, and it was.I got there on Saturday when they opened and the place was almost packed when I left.
