    2 piece filet catfish
    Myesha M.

    I had been sitting at the hair salon across the street from this location for a couple of hours and knew I'd be stuck in traffic trying to go home , so i needed something that I could snack on while i drove home. The area that this location is in is very sketchy, so you'll see a lot of people and things that'll make you not want to even get out the car , however I could smell the catfish while I sat under the dryer at the hair salon. Parking lot could use some attention, and walking into this restaurant you're hit with an unpleasant smell. A mixture of raw fish and moisture (if that makes any sense at all). It's a cash only establishment, which I wasn't too happy about because who actually keeps cash on them anymore? But by the grace of God I came across a few dollars in my purse. I ordered the 2 piece fillet catfish with fries. Total was a little less then $8. You're asked to wait outside which I understand and respect. My order took about 15 to mins to complete. They were all out of tartar sauce, that kind of hurt my feelings. But they did give hot sauce, ketchup, pickles and peppers. Both the hot sauce and peppers paired well with the fish . My fries had no seasoning on them at all , However my fish was seasoned/ flavored PERFECTLY. It was crunchy in all the right places and for them to kind of be on the thin side they were pretty meaty. Best catfish I've had since living in Dallas ! I can't believe I'm just now experiencing this place. I am hooked. I'm in the area every few weeks to get my Locs re-twisted, I plan to get me some fish each and every time moving forward.

    Ventured out across town in search of fried catfish on this Happy Friday . Located next door to Bob & J Davis Fish & live Crawfish Market on Scyene RD TX Hwy 352, Dallas TX. I found Ronnie's Catfish & More at 2538 S 2nd Ave, Dallas, TX 75210. Not far from Fair Park, where the Texas State Fair is heldevery year. So now you know the neighborhood.... 1st let me say, bring CASH - no cards accepted. ALSO, no dining in - no seating. Call in order, pick up, or order at the counter & take out. Middle of the afternoon there was no waiting. I mentioned having never been there before & a customer picking up delivery order suggested the Catfish nuggets, no bones, basket. Everything comes with French fries , bread , pickles & jalapeño pepper. I ordered the nuggets plus the Catfish, bone-in, 4 piece. Which by the way, they go up to 21+ pieces. There is no standing at the counter after you place your order. You get a pager that blinks & flashes when your order is ready. Sat in my car listening to some music, checking email, and in no time my order was ready! Jessica was really polite and patient while I placed my order. Friendly smile. The cook, who requested I not mention his name in the review, did a great job. Food was so hot, the box was a little wavy . I snacked a little bit driving home. I am giving this a 4-star. The food and service was a 5 for ordering & takeout. However, there was something (?) spilled on the floor that was so sticky all across the room. Really needed several buckets of water & pine sol or another cleaner - maybe a water hose on the concrete floor & scrub brushes would work better. A broom would not help.

    Let's talk about it. Mildy seasoned, fresh white fish. Definitely a must try and the customer service is ABOVE AVERAGE, I didn't get his name but he has locs and a warm, friendly personality. He cracked a few jokes with us. Worth the drive from the other side of town to taste the SOUL and love in the cooking. I should have gotten them tails. I will come back anytime I'm in South Dallas.

    This place normally on point. Today was terrible no seasoning, not fresh, fries hard. Well I guess I gotta start back driving to Redbird Lane.

    Thank you guys for coming through with the fried fish for my fiancées birthday party. Not only was it piping hot, fresh and delicious...it was professionally packed and ready in time just as the said....40 catfish fillets with all the fixings and sides in 20 minute!!

    $10 disappointment
    Newly W.

    I don't get the high reviews for this place at all. There are better fish baskets and the service here leaves much to be desired. I'd love to chalk this up to Covid19 restrictions but that is not the case. And why they be lying tho, they don't have homemade tartar sauce and they stingy with the packets. Even I ordered extra and was charged for it. (Cash only) The seasoning on the fish is pretty good but they catfish basket was lackluster.

    Fuck yeah- this place delivers every time! I love it- you're missing out if you haven't tried Ronnie's!

    10 strip catfish BUT they gave me only 8
    Tiffany G.

    I will be going back to visit them again. The staff is friendly and the fish is good. I knew it would be good because of the location! All small kitchens located near the 'hood' of cities have the best tasting food. The neighborhood isn't really that bad. The catfish is good but I plan to also try other things on the menu. But I will tell them that they gave me only 8 strips instead of 10. Yes I counted them ‍

    The fish was fried perfectly, seasoned perfectly...the fries yummy. Great meal. Call in orders are accepted, but I walked in and order, the wait was the usual for fish orders: Oh...and that little container you'll find with your meal, is hot sauce! I will definitely be going back. Great price, cash only.

    Good food, reasonable prices...I will return back again. They cook the food made to order, so it will be a short wait but it's worth it.

    Ronnie's is a solid place to get catfish. Cash only Make sure you know what you want. Calling in the order will save you some time.

    Ronnies never misses , I always get the large nugget basket. The hot sauce they provide compliments the fish well.

    We arrived in Dallas with that particular kind of hunger that only travel can summon equal parts…read moreexhaustion and anticipation. After a long day in transit, all we wanted was something deeply satisfying, the kind of meal that feels like a reward. When my mother suggested Aunt Irene's Kitchen, there was no hesitation. She spoke of it with the reverence reserved for places that become part of your personal geography former neighborhood staples, the kind you measure other meals against. Years ago, when she lived nearby, this was her spot. And now, standing beside her in a line that stretched out the door, it was clear we weren't the only ones holding onto that sentiment. The queue moved with surprising ease, a quiet efficiency that felt almost practiced. Inside, the energy was unpretentious and steady. Our cashier, while not particularly warm, was brisk and knowledgeable answering questions with the kind of clarity that suggests confidence in the product more than performance. We ordered simply: wings with fries, and two plates of fried fish with fries. The wings hadn't been part of the original plan, but a fellow patron mid-meal and visibly excited leaned over to insist. It felt like advice worth taking. And it was. The food arrived in its own time this is not a place for the impatient but what it lacked in speed, it more than made up for in flavor. The fish was crisp and tender, the wings richly seasoned, each bite layered with the kind of depth that doesn't rush itself. Then there was the jalapeño tucked alongside the plate like a quiet signature. It cut through the richness with a bright, deliberate heat, a small but memorable detail that elevated the entire experience. The dining room itself is modest and well-kept, with many opting to take their meals to-go or retreat to their cars. There's an ease to it all ample parking, friendly faces coming and going, a sense of community that lingers longer than the wait. Because that's the thing about places like this: they don't just feed you, they remind you why the wait was worth it.

    This review has been a long time coming. Throughout the years I've been to Aunt Irene's plenty o…read moretime. From various locations to various protocols one thing has always remained the same. Great service and great food. It's a Dallas staple. The staff has always been welcoming and excited to have my business. The restaurant exudes a small, casual, warm inviting atmosphere. Once you go black you will never go back to anything else. Because I had one taste of that black box at the time and it was over. I didn't think about eating anything else. The fish, wings, shrimp, crab legs everything is on point. Regardless of what you get the food is always hot, flavorful and every bite is delicious. The owner is very personable. The only problem that you will have is deciding what to get. My solution: get one of each. But definitely give Aunt Irene's a try.
