Ezell's Catfish Cabin

We loves this place and have been coming here for years. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the prices are really high for what you get. Our family of four (2 adults, 2 children under 10) had our most recent dinner bill at $70 with tip. Would make more sense in the $45-$50 range based on the food. With that be said, we’ll definitely be back, we just can’t afford to eat here as frequently as we’d like. Love the fried catfish, hush puppies, calabash shrimp, grilled shrimp, and cheese grits. Kids menu is very expensive. We especially love at Ezell’s our favorite server in Columbus (seriously!), Cheyenne (sp?).

Lived in Columbus for 30 years, and Ezells has been an institution as far back as I remember. It has a cult following. I will go if friends want to, but that's about it. Hush puppies are great, but the food is just fine. Last time I went they had 1 beer on tap of the 5 they advertised, and the restaurant was below half capacity at 5pm but still had a lengthy wait for food.

I read about this place online and thought I would try it when I was passing through. I stopped in at 3pm on Saturday and there was still a 20 minute wait for a table. The service was good and the food was out pretty quick. I ordered the catfish poboy. Cole slaw and hush puppies were brought to my table right away. The fish was good but the sandwich overall was too dry to eat.
