    Not good. Fish had no taste. Chicken fried steak grease and bad taste. Hush puppies tasted freezer burnt.

    The food is terrible. The salad is watery, the fountain drinks tastes gross and the catfish is awful. Would never eat here again.

    Extremely bland food. Super expensive for three thin strips of fish. $13.99 is not worth the trip. Ice tea extra

    Flavorless fried junk. Salad bar wasn't fully stocked. Your hard earned money is better spent someplace else.

    Great place to eat- great salad bar as well. Admittedly there are many issues they are encountering since covid.

Friendly helpful staff, roomy sea worthy dining I ordered the recommended scrimp combo in mild sauce potatoes sausage it all comes together in a plastic bag. Your provided a 12" metal pan, gloves a bib and lot of napkins that you'll need. You dump everything from your bag into your pan and go to work. The sauce is special, full of flavors spices and some heat it's really outstanding. I had sweet tea for the first time it was addicting. Pier 18 staff was very accommodating we were there 4 hours lots of laughs The girls ordered scrimp, chicken and vegetable bowls that were very generous they couldn't finish. The menu covers everything crab, lobster, oysters, calamari, shrimp, fish, chicken wings &, beef. Pier 18 is a destination check them out.

I know it's busier and Friday night but geez, the table we sat at or the chairs we sat on were dirty like covered in some kind of sauce. It got on my jacket and my girlfriend's clothes, no sincere apology they just switched a chair but didn't look like they cleaned it. Had to wait until the end of dinner for part of our order even if we politely asked 3 different workers if we're going to get the rest of our food. This is after 3 other tables got all of their food before we did and were seated after us. Guess if we ever come back here we need to be early or just lunch time. Also, don't get the hibachi beef, it's mostly stir fried vegetables on top of rice with some tossed salad on half the plate. Doesn't taste that good either, but the fried calamari was delicious and served with fries. The gumbo soup was ok but I think I'll just stick with the seafood boil or fried appetizers. They do open up the back dining area when it's busy.

The sauce just made me want to keep going back for more! Service was friendly and fun! Made great recommendations and checked in often! Ambiance was quiet on a Monday night late but I can imagine that the weekends they are packed! Lots of seating and a quaint little spot! Great music but still allowed for conversation. The only challenge was parking! It's a super small parking lot (like maybe 6 spots) so be ready to park on the street and walk.

    While I must say the snow crab should probably be illegal to serve. It's like a drug you can stop…read moreeating. The sauce is almost drinkable, but also don't... it's so much garlic you may end up pissing your stomach off. Shrimp seems to always be overcooked so I never get those anymore. They're mushy, so real overcooked. Service is hit it miss. Sometimes I've gotten a server who may not understand the best English and is sorta short with us. I can understand that, but also it's not enjoyable. The place is usually a mess... But I say that because it's usually super busy as well so I'm not complaining about that because they clean up. It's just a constant flow of people. They also increase their prices quite a bit and the price of snow crab has went down. So unless the prices go back down to a reasonable amount, I probably won't go back, but I'd still advise for you to try it out.

    I couldn't reconcile the Italian "Belzoni's" name with "Catfish Cafe", so had to check this…read morerestaurant out to see what it was about. Turns out Belzoni is a town in Mississippi, and it claims to be the Catfish Capital of the World. This information is displayed on a large picture in the restaurant's small dining area. The interior is unremarkable but seems clean and well maintained. Chairs are surprisingly comfortable. The owner and cook, Mr Cooley, was friendly and you can tell he takes pride in preparing great catfish. Our server was also friendly and attentive. We ordered the catfish filet basket and the whole catfish basket. Our sides were corn, turnip greens, and onion rings. The server explained that each fish order is prepared fresh and will be extremely hot when it is served. And it was. After allowing a few minutes for the fish to cool, we found it to be excellent. The outer coating was crunchy but the fish was moist and flaky inside. Delicious. The fish is served with a tartar sauce that has a lot of flavor. The sides were all good, but there was nothing special about them. I recommend Belzoni's if you're looking for great catfish.
