Ronnies Catfish & More

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hell yeah- this place is awesome. crispy fried catfish, and all the fixins. they're not stingy

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.

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.

They are so inconsistent. They are very skimpy with the large order of nuggets. There were a total of 9 nuggets and only 3 were a decent size. Also bought what was supposed to be a 4 pc fillet. They're fillets are actually more like a strip. I have tried all of their locations. I like the way my food tastes but you definitely are not getting your money's worth. I'm going to have to start going back to Catfish Connection.

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!!

I live in Frisco, TX (an hour away) and wanted late night fish, we were close to this location. Ronnie's doesn't close until 10pm... we get there at 9:25pm and they're not taking anymore orders. Unacceptable. What's the purpose of having listed hours if you're not going to adhere to them. Customer service 0/10. Do better. Now when people stop supporting your business, don't be crying.
