Yesterday was my first time trying their wings, shrimp, and fish, and everything was amazing! The food was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Like honest. You can catch the food truck at dozens of festivals. But that brick and mortar is where you go when you can get that fix anytime! Transparency: It's on Cavalcade on the Northside in the hood, but there's a hood everywhere!!! The HAUL: combo, fish and shrimp basket with fries and hush puppies. He go to short version of all this. The food is always awesome! Everything is well seasoned well cooked and it's yummy to the tummy. Almost taste like my grandma's fish and shrimp rest so. So if you over in the cashmere garden area on the north side of Houston, you got to come try this place when they open. read more

Really was excited to try it checked online to see if they were open took the drive because I heard great things and not only were they not open they looked closed but I know their not because my brother got food from here 2 days ago and bragged about it so it was just very annoying because the stigma with black businesses is that we open when we want too vs our hours of operation their signage says open 11am it's currently 2:53 pm I've tried calling and etc no answer so just disgruntling that indicates poor service out gate: read more

Whenever I have a taste for some fried catfish this is one of my go too. Customer service is amazing and the food is always hot and fresh

Perhaps other folks have had better experiences with Mattie's fried fish than I did recently. The fish in my order, along with other items in the basket such as toast, fries, shrimp and hush puppies, were fried way too hard. Every item except the fries was not seasoned and was one step away from being inedible. I also received no lemon slices with my meal. The only thing that really saved this place was a family member's fish po boy, which apparently was good. I might try this place again, but with reservations. read more

I really like this cat fish and fries basket I got at this festival! The catfish are crispy and the fries are crispy & flavorful the only thing is I wish they would have seasoned the catfish a little bit more. It was giving a more bready taste, but I still did like the flavor & the crunch. Just wish there was just a little bit more seasoning. But overall it was a good food experience!

Ordered fried shrimp, shrimps were not deveined, I ended up throwing it in the trash.

I stumbled upon Mattie's catfish thanks to Houston's traffic. I will be taking this shortcut more often. The shrimp is delicious. Ken, I believe is the gentleman's name gave me a few for the road and im enjoying them as I write this review. Delicious food, great customer service. If you are looking for mouth watering shrimp and fish, Mattie's is the place. I will return soon! read more

Whew, chile! I LOVE ME SOME CATFISH! But this here was next to the worst I've ever had. It didn't seem too fresh and as if it were frozen while already battered. 3 days later and that fish is still in my fridge. I do not waste good catfish. The burger was dry as hell. The end. I gave them 2 stars instead of 1 since they're black owned. read more

I'm always down to try something new and also support a local small business and I am SOOO glad I stopped by. The guy who took our order and served us, I'm assuming the owner, literally blew me away. His catfish was so good! So impressed. He was super friendly and made everything to order. We will definitely be back for round two. read more

I just need to say that I was not expecting Mattie's to come through like they did because of the low stars, but wow! We ordered their catfish plate and loved everything! The fries and hush puppies were perfectly seasoned and catfish was fresh, juicy, buttery and just oooooo so good! We can't wait to return and next time pics will be posted. read more

I got the 6 shrimp 6 catfish basket and it was fire! It was seasoned good Af, only thing I don't like is the ain't have hotsauce.... That was a disappointment. But other than that A1 read more

Great southern food. Got the catfish, fried wings, boudin balls, fries and toast. Everything was hot and fresh. Lots of food. The price point was on point !! The only critique I have is the boudin balls were battered with corn meal as opposed to flour and was very heavy. However, the boudin inside was delicious. Whatever they used to season the fries was super tasty it was a Cajun season. Fried chicken wings were very juicy and crispy. They have different flavors of wings but I got the battered ones! I will be going back and trying the shrimp and dirty rice. read more

Ordered the wings and fish plate with fries. Food was seasoned well. I would go back. My only problem was the service. The older man who helped me Wasn't too friendly. Didn't crack even one smile. Barely spoke. But when he serviced a couple who might've been around the same age 50-60.. it seemed like he was all smiles. Not to mention the older couple arrived 15 mins after me & we were handed our food at the same time. (That could be a reach) idk. I'm going to go back because the food was decent and portions were good but if the customer service doesn't improve that could change. read more

I wanted to write a good review but I can't. Catfish to me should be flaky not glassy (Basa or Swai) I think, the fish had no taste but the cornbread seasoning was good. Staff was nice, walk up window...lol Still in search for some good fish! read more

Horrible customer service, they act as if you're bothering them. Food ok, won't be returning. Customer service is everything

This is my second time coming here and the wait is ridiculous, I ordered way before I got there and it took an hour for me to get my food. While I was waiting I asked what was taking long and he claimed he gave my order to someone else so I asked for a refund and he refused to give me one. By the time I got my food it was already 3:15 I rushed back to work and noticed my order wasn't even right. Never coming here again. read more

when I work at this location I can not always find food I like But I was very surprised by the amount of food I got for the price. There is enough food for 2 meals. I will definitely be ordering again. I just hope they go downtown to where I live read more

I showed up at 6:30pm, and there were a few people there eating. I ordered catfish, and the CATFISH WAS NOT FRESH. I took one bite and immediately felt sick. I threw everything in the trash. This place sucks if they would serve that old crap to their customers. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME EATING HERE! read more

Good deep fried fish and shrimp! Grandma got a fish sandwich and I and got fish and shrimp. It was really good and fresh. Not sure why this place has so many low ratings. Give it a try. The fries were good as well. Called it in to go and it was ready when I got there. Will go back. Great customer service. read more

The best catfish I've ever had! No question! Luckily I have a client in the area and I was craving fried catfish. Thankfully I found this place! I will definitely be coming back. read more

There is a wait as the food is cooked to order. It's best to take it to go if you don't have to drive far because they only have a few patio tables outside under the awning. There is no inside dining dining. I was not crazy about the fish it didn't seem like real catfish and the pieces were rather small. The shrimp were huge and delicious and the hush puppies were really good. I probably would not order the fish again , but I would definitely go back again for shrimp and hush puppies. read more

The food is good but they are way too expensive I spent 28 bucks for 2 fish , 6 shrimp fries and a drink . The fish tasted of cheap quality

Ordered the 2pc fish and 5 wings. Horrible experience no way I would go back. The wings tasted old, fries were really greasy, and the fish was just ok. The only seating was outside on the picnic tables. read more

We have tried almost everything on the menu. We love it all. And Pops is doing it all solo. Just simply amazing.

The lemon pepper honey mustard wings are incredible. The Boudin balls awesome as well. The wings are really worth trying had them once and I was hooked. Please go check them out, they deserve more customers for having great food read more

In my opinion, Mattie's was one of the best food vendors who attended the Ziegenbock festival at Sam Houston Race Park last weekend. There was a long line but their service was quick and organized. I ordered the fried catfish dinner for $10.00 and it came with 4 pieces of fried catfish, toast, and french fries. I added an Arnold Palmer (iced tea + lemonade) beverage for a couple more bucks. The friend catfish was immediately breaded and tossed into the fryer as soon as I ordered it so I knew my food was going to be fresh and piping hot. A couple of the catfish pieces were thin filets; however, the other two pieces were thicker and more substantial. I split this catfish dinner with 3 other people and we were all pretty satisfied with one piece of fish and some french fries. It was a nice "snack" for us but if I had ordered the catfish dinner for myself, I would have been absolutely stuffed. The seasoning on the fish had a "kick" to it but it wasn't exactly Cajun nor spicy... It was almost just like a really good salt and pepper seasoning with a mixture of cornmeal and flour breading. The breading was crispy and the filet was nice and flaky on the inside. I haven't been to the actual restaurant but I am interested in trying more food from Mattie's! read more

It's a bit too hot to sit outside, under some sheets/coverings, and at picnic tables. If you're going here, get it to go. Food was average; really, we live on the Gulf Coast and it's kind of hard to mess up fried chicken read more

It was okay, but it wasnt enough to make me wanna go back. It wasnt bad at all. I am looking for the taste that will make me want to be a repeat customer all the time. I am looking for the best!!!! So I continue my search. read more

Great gem tucked in neighborhood. Good food, good portions and good service. The only issue I have with them is that they don't always answer the phone and don't have an answer machine so you are never really sure when they are open. read more

I'm loving Mattie's Catfish. The service is outstanding. I am a regular here. I brought my mom here and he thinks we are going to eat here EVERY Friday. I can understand why because the food is so good. They can pencil me in as a regular. read more

Older gentleman was very rude and charged 6 dollars for cup of koolaid which tasted like water down corn syrup. In total i paid 40 dollars for just two meals that were very unsatisfying read more

This is a neighborhood place that is really good. Food is a 5 star taste! It's a food shack. A place to wear your cut offs and t- shirt , just chill and enjoy great deep fried food. Customer service is good. Prices are good. I have dine at some of the best restaurants and can cook, so if I say the food is great, it's great. I have not tried the dirty rice yet but the chicken, fish, shrimp, fries are very good! They also have grill items that are pretty good. Try it? you will not regret it! read more

Not like the good ole mom's & pop's use to be. The food is subpar & that's the best I can give & that's really too much. First off the food is way too salty. I thought everybody was using kosher or sea salt by now, so Not to leave a SALTY aftertaste, but I guess Not. I tried the chicken wings & the fish & I wasn't a fan of either. The chicken is very low quality & had an offensive smell. They should be making meat purchases from a better vendor. The fish was not fresh or tasty. The batter was awful tasting. The bread was toasted hard as cement. I took a couple bites & ended up tossing it All out. Wasted My Money & Alot of Time... read more
