Food could taste a lot better if they changed the grease. Fish tasted like old cooking grease. The color of the fish was dark brown. I enjoyed the sides though which is why I gave them 2 stars.
I didn’t bring it to the staff attention simply because I placed a delivery order.

I have lived in the deep south and have been in search of great catfish for years, look no further Belzoni's not only delivers they exceeded all expectations. The catfish is moist, battered perfectly, not greasy, and delivered hot. The sides especially the turnip greens have such an amazing flavor and prepared without any bacon fat. This is a must place to dine.

Finally took the recommendation to try this place and I'm so happy I did. It is run by a man who taught at my elementary school and he remembered me after all these years. The service was phenomenal and the food... It was everything. The fish was big and flaky. The sides were out of this world. Make the trip, it's worth it.

This place is out of this world!!
I've wanted to try Belzoni's for a while, but their hours are a bit weird. No shade to them, though. I definitely respect them getting to keep the hours they want.
The food is amazing - the fries don't even need ketchup, in my opinion, and the turnip greens reminded me of my grandma's cooking. I love the cornmeal batter they put on the catfish and the fried pickles. I've never had pickles this way, and now I'm not sure I can go back.
I believe I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, and he is so friendly. I love that this has a family atmosphere. They had bluesy tunes going and football on. Oh, and I noticed they have a drive-thru, which may see me more often than I'm willing to admit.
Thanks, Belzoni's! I can't wait to come back and bring my family.

Finally was able to visit.
Very friendly and welcoming.
We shared fried pickles, onion rings, catfish rounds with our friends.
I had the catfish on a bun (YUM) and hubby had the double catfish with fries and collard greens.

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.

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.

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.

If you like catfish, consider this place your prized secret. This was our first time and the catfish is no joke, some of the best! I tried a double meal thinking one fiilet wasn't enough but these filets are way bigger than what I've had before. They were perfectly breaded, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. My wife had a combination of sides and veggies. Great green beans, great fried okra (and I'm real picky about okra), great hush puppies, Mac and cheese was okay.
Overall it was a wonderful first experience even for take out. We can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

We came by to try to place out. This ends up as a great choice. The place is small inside but delivers huge. The catfish was delicious and well cooked. It had a corn meal crunchy outside. That was fantastic. The meal came with two sides. I had the mac n cheese and fried okra. The Mac n cheese was fabulous, and the okra was very well cooked and tasted great. The staff was great. They were very professional and took care of us very well. I will definitely be back!!
